Disease relevance of iron hexacyanide

• Iron and copper deposition were examined in patients with chronic active viral hepatitis (CAH) and posthepatitic liver cirrhosis (LC) by Berlin blue, rhodanine, or Victoria blue staining and X-ray microanalysis [1].

High impact information on iron hexacyanide

• Sections immunostained using anti-glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), Ricinus communis agglutinin-1 (RCA-1) stain for microglia and iron stain (Berlin blue stain) were compared [2].
• The phagocytic capacity of the macrophages was determined by injection of vital dyes (India ink, Berlin blue) and inoculation with Candida cells [3].
• Berlin blue stain showed severe haemosiderin deposition in hepatocytes, except in the focal lesions [4].
• In the kidney, Berlin blue-negative brown pigment deposition in the proximal tubular epithelium was observed at 5% GA [5].
• Histological staining was with routine haematoxylin-eosin; Masson-Goldner was used for connective tissue; Kossa for calcification; and Berlin blue for haemosiderin [6].

Anatomical context of iron hexacyanide

• Forty guinea pigs were perfused with Berlin Blue as a contrast medium and the eustachian tube microvascular architecture visualized through surface preparations [7].
• Human spinal arachnoid villi and granulations were studied after distension by a subarachnoid perfusion of Berlin blue and trypan blue [8].
• The vascular pattern of the cochlea was studied in 12 adult gerbils (Meriones unguiculatus) using the Berlin blue (Prussian blue) contrast injection technique [9].
• We have examined the pattern of the capillaries of the pancreas in rabbits, rats, mice, guinea-pigs, cats and baboons, using arterial and venous injections of Berlin blue [10].

Gene context of iron hexacyanide

• The distribution of cells containing iron, indicating an increase of HO-1 in the red pulp, was detected with Berlin blue staining [11].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of iron hexacyanide

• Iron cyanide speciation in solution was determined by HPLC during the experiment [12].
• Moreover, transmission electron microscopy identified the dye-containing vessels as lymphatics after intradermal injection of Berlin Blue. In conclusion, a lymphatic network was characterized in the dorsal skinfold chamber model of the Syrian golden hamster [13].
• The percentages of the stained areas in periodic acid-Schiff (PAS), Berlin-Blue, and Masson Goldner's trichrome stainings were calculated using the AnalySIS 3.4-system [14].
• Both types were strongly positive for periodic acid-Schiff reaction, and weakly positive for von Kossa's and Berlin blue stains [15].
