[In vitro study of the process of urinary calculi fragmentation with endoscopy, light microscopy, and scanning electron microscopy].

Stones with different compositions respond differently to shock wave lithofragmentation. Likewise, the various lithotrity systems used may have different effects on the stones. To determine the relationships between stone composition and their fragmentation patterns, we conducted an in vitro study using endoscopy, magnifying glass, light microscope and scanning electron microscope on fragments obtained after lithotrity of 60 pure stone with different compositions: calcium oxalate monohydrate and dihydrate (OXMH and OXDH), phosphocarbonate (PC), ammonium magnesium phosphate (AMF) and uric acid (UA). Fragmentation was carried out with 4 different lithofragmenting sources (electrohydraulic, piezoelectric, ultrasound and pulse laser). No morphologic differences in the fractures induced by the various lithofragmenting sources were demonstrated. OXMH and UA stones basically break up by intercrystalline fracture and splitting of their concentric plates. OXDH breaks up mainly by intercrystalline fractures aided by the fibrillar organic material and phosphocarbonates found in the intercrystalline spaces. Fragmentation in infective stones (AMF and PC) occurs across the intercrystalline surfaces and by intracrystalline fracture. Ammonium urate fragments break up by intracrystalline fractures that run across the equatorial plane of its characteristic acicular microspheres.

Flagellate pigmentation from intrapleural bleomycin. A light microscopy and electron microscopy study.

A case is presented of a 65-year-old white man with left pleural mesothelioma treated with a single intrapleural instillation of bleomycin for cavitary sclerosis. One month later the patient developed pigmented flagellate streaks on his arms and chest wall. To our knowledge, this is the first case in the literature showing these typical pigmentary changes in which a single small dose of bleomycin acted as an intrapleural sclerosing agent.

Scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy in situ studies of grain boundary migration in cold-deformed aluminium bicrystals.

The crystallography of recrystallization has been investigated in channel-die deformed pure aluminium bicrystals with {100}<011>/{110}<001> orientations. The microstructural and microtextural changes during the early stages of recrystallization were followed by systematic local orientation measurements using scanning and transmission electron microscopes. In particular, orientation mapping combined with in situ sample heating was used to investigate the formation and growth of new grains at very early stages of recrystallization. Grain boundary migration and 'consumption' of the as-deformed areas was always favoured along directions parallel to the traces of the {111} slip planes that had been most active during deformation.

Scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy microstructural investigation of high-speed tool steel after Nd:YAG pulsed laser melting.

This article presents the microstructure of a pulsed Nd:YAG laser-melted high-speed steel, namely HS6-5-2. The high chemical homogeneity and fine structure of the melted zone was attributed to high cooling rates due to the short duration of interaction with the Nd:YAG pulsed laser radiation and the relatively small volume of the melted material. The structure obtained in the surface layer after laser melting has a high level of hardness and shows improved wear resistance.
