METHOD FOR PATHOMORPHOLOGICAL DETERMINATION OF PRESCRIPTION OF MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC A61B10/00 G01N1/28 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: pathomorphological determination of the prescription of myocardial infarction is ensured by fixing a tissue sample and placing it into paraffin. Sections are prepared, de-waxed, heated, washed in a buffer solution, incubated in a moisture chamber and processed with a developing agent, dehydrated and enclosed by a medium. The reagent is presented by matrix metalloprotease 9 antibodies in dilution 1:100-1:250. The sections are incubated with the reagent at a temperature of 25°C and a relative humidity of 100% for 60 minutes. If the microscopy detects the bright-coloured neutrophils in peri-infarction vessels and within the infarction zone, the prescription is stated to be 2 hours to 1 day. If observing the neutrophil degranulation and the bright colour of an extracellular matrix within the infarction, the prescription is 1 to 2 days. If the coloured fibroblasts are found in the infarction border, the prescription is stated to be within 3 to 30 days.

EFFECT: method enables differentiating the prescription of myocardial infarction within 2 hours to 30 days.
