Since then, a small number of publications, based on decalcified temporal bones, have mostly confirmed his findings. With the introduction by Frost in the late 1950s of the undecalcified bone technique and the bulk staining technique for peripheral bones, a method was developed and refined for identifying even very small intravital microfissures (microdamage). Bulk staining of undecalcified otic capsules has not yet been used to verify the findings from the previous decalcified specimens. The present report presents our experience with the pertinent techniques, and suggests modifications and shortcuts pertinent to temporal bone research. Both large and tiny microfissures of intravital genesis are demonstrable within bulk-stained undecalcified human otic capsules. The importance of microfissures in the petrous bone in the causation of otosclerosis and perilymphatic leakage has long been discussed, and the present techniques may advance our understanding of these pathological conditions<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/000348940111000810","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,1,11]],"date-time":"2017-01-11T03:10:20Z","timestamp":1484104220000},"page":"749-757","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Demonstration of Intravital Microfissures in Undecalcified Plastic-Embedded Temporal Bones with the Prestaining Technique"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"110","author":[{"given":"Thomas","family":"Frisch","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Copenhagen, Denmark"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mads S\u00f8slvsten","family":"S\u00d8rensen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Copenhagen, Denmark"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ppoul","family":"Bretlau","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Copenhagen, Denmark"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2001,8,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-000348940111000810","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3109\/00016483109119072"},{"key":"bibr2-000348940111000810","first-page":"261","volume":"26","author":"Mayer O","year":"1930","journal-title":"Z Hals Nasen Ohrenheilkd"},{"key":"bibr3-000348940111000810","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF01583393"},{"key":"bibr4-000348940111000810","first-page":"129","volume":"34","author":"Loebell Nauck","year":"1933","journal-title":"Z Hals Nasen Ohrenheilkd"},{"key":"bibr5-000348940111000810","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF02117720"},{"key":"bibr6-000348940111000810","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF01587553"},{"key":"bibr7-000348940111000810","first-page":"72","volume":"34","author":"Nager FR","year":"1933","journal-title":"Z Hals Nasen Ohrenheilkd"},{"key":"bibr8-000348940111000810","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF01582839"},{"key":"bibr9-000348940111000810","first-page":"173","volume":"44","author":"Brunner H","year":"1931","journal-title":"Wien Klin Wochenschr"},{"key":"bibr10-000348940111000810","first-page":"587","volume":"26","author":"Br\u00fchl G","year":"1930","journal-title":"Z Hals Nasen Ohrenheilkd"},{"key":"bibr11-000348940111000810","first-page":"152","volume":"34","author":"Eschweiler","year":"1933","journal-title":"Z Hals Nasen Ohrenheilkd"},{"key":"bibr12-000348940111000810","first-page":"1","volume":"34","author":"Meyer M","year":"1933","journal-title":"Z Hals Nasen Ohrenheilkd"},{"key":"bibr13-000348940111000810","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/000348948109000217"},{"key":"bibr14-000348940111000810","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/000348948609500506"},{"key":"bibr15-000348940111000810","first-page":"148","volume":"42","author":"Kohut RI","year":"1988","journal-title":"Adv Otorhinolaryngol"},{"key":"bibr16-000348940111000810","first-page":"169","volume":"12","author":"El Shazly MAR","year":"1991","journal-title":"Am J Otol"},{"key":"bibr17-000348940111000810","first-page":"319","volume":"82","author":"Okano Y","year":"1976","journal-title":"Trans Am Acad Ophthalmol Otolaryngol"},{"key":"bibr18-000348940111000810","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/000348947708600108"},{"key":"bibr19-000348940111000810","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0022215100100039"},{"key":"bibr20-000348940111000810","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"741","DOI":"10.1288\/00005537-199406000-00015","volume":"104","author":"Moreano EH","year":"1994","journal-title":"Laryngoscope"},{"key":"bibr21-000348940111000810","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1288\/00005537-199301000-00014"},{"key":"bibr22-000348940111000810","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"S\u00f8rensen MS, Bretlau P, J\u00f8rgensen MB.
