s from the 2019 Symposium/Convention abstracts are in this issue. The new digital viewing of these posters was used at the 2019 S/C and proved to be excellent along with visiting with poster presenters. One important fact is to remind our readers that they have done the major part of the work for their posters which can be converted to manuscripts following a JOH format. Chlipala and colleagues presented a poster which is now a paper in this issue on the use of optical density-based image analysis as a way to evaluate the hematoxylin and eosin stain. Genty and McDonnell publication on a new technology was in the 2019 December special topics issue and was both a poster and talk at the NSH annual 2019 S/C [1]. A recent commentary in Science [2] captured my attention with the title ‘Respect the Poster.’ For those planning to give a poster at the NSH symposium/convention, this commentary is worth reading. The article emphasized that it is a ‘great opportunity to present a poster,’ especially if one takes the time to prepare with the following advice: content comes first and the poster does not have to be visually stunning. Also emphasized was saying where the poster focus should be, have pride in the work shown which does not need to be flawless, do not be discouraged by any criticism or too few people viewing the poster, and take your poster seriously. I will be happy to provide this article to others upon request. This issue has the return of the case history feature by Abdelzaher, a pathologist, who also has another study in this issue. It is not often when an issue has two publications from one author. The Mustafa group has a research paper on the use of a herbal product cinnamaldehyde, a natural oil found in cinnamon tree bark, as a treatment for aluminum-induced Alzheimer’s disease in rats. Natural products have intriguing traditional medicine backgrounds as treatment of a disease in humans and animals and always of interest by the pharmaceutical industry to develop drugs and treatments. Another article is about softening agents for the always challenging, difficult finger and toenail biopsies and will have immediate, practical use in clinical and dermatopathology laboratories. Sharma et al. tested and compared four softening agents for nails including showing nail biopsy sites, nail anatomy, sample fixation, and subsequent processing through to staining. Many softeners are already well known and used, but these authors provided a nice comparison of four softening agents with results on the advantages and disadvantages of these methods. Pay particular attention to the references in this paper for further reading about nail softeners. The National Society for Histotechnology Quality Management Committee conducted an extensive workload study in 2018 to examine productivity and staffing in different types of hospitals and institutions. If you participated in this extensive survey, the results are found in this issue and will be of interest to those in clinical and other histology institutions. JOH has returned to another feature in this issue. Our reviewers from 2018 to 2019 gave permission to be recognized for their time and efforts to perform a peer review. I especially want to thank these reviewers, even those not named, for their service to JOH. The journal needs reviewers from all aspects of histotechnology from daily routine practices to rapidly emerging technologies, e.g. multiplexing, digital pathology along with immunohistochemistry, molecular neuroscience, and toxicology, used in clinical, veterinary, and research disciplines.

2019 年和 2020 年的组织技术杂志，重温海报，感谢我们的审稿人，以及对本期论文的评论

来自 2019 年研讨会/公约摘要的文章在本期。在 2019 年的 S/C 上使用了这些海报的新数字查看方式，并被证明与海报展示者一起参观非常好。一个重要的事实是提醒我们的读者，他们已经完成了海报的大部分工作，这些海报可以按照 JOH 格式转换为手稿。Chlipala 及其同事展示了一张海报，该海报现在是本期的一篇论文，内容涉及使用基于光密度的图像分析作为评估苏木精和伊红染色的一种方法。Genty 和 McDonnell 关于新技术的出版物出现在 2019 年 12 月的特刊中，并且在 NSH 年度 2019 S/C [1] 上既是海报又是演讲。最近《科学》[2] 上的一篇评论以“尊重海报”的标题吸引了我的注意力。' 对于那些计划在 NSH 研讨会/大会上张贴海报的人来说，这篇评论值得一读。文章强调这是一个“展示海报的好机会”，尤其是如果你花时间准备以下建议：内容至上，海报不必在视觉上令人惊叹。还强调说海报的焦点应该在哪里，对展示的作品感到自豪，不需要完美无瑕，不要因任何批评或看海报的人太少而气馁，认真对待你的海报。我很乐意应要求将这篇文章提供给其他人。这个问题有病理学家阿卜杜勒扎赫的病例历史特征的回归，他在这个问题上也有另一项研究。一个问题有来自一位作者的两篇出版物的情况并不常见。Mustafa 小组有一篇关于使用草药产品肉桂醛的研究论文，肉桂醛是一种在肉桂树皮中发现的天然油，用于治疗铝诱导的大鼠阿尔茨海默病。天然产物在治疗人类和动物疾病方面具有引人入胜的传统医学背景，并且制药行业一直对开发药物和治疗方法感兴趣。另一篇文章是关于软化剂，用于总是具有挑战性的、困难的手指和脚趾甲活检，并将在临床和皮肤病理学实验室中立即实用。夏尔马等人。测试并比较了四种指甲软化剂，包括显示指甲活检部位、指甲解剖结构、样本固定和后续处理直至染色。许多柔软剂已经广为人知并被使用，但这些作者对四种软化剂进行了很好的比较，并得出了这些方法的优缺点。请特别注意本文中的参考资料，以进一步阅读有关指甲柔软剂的信息。国家组织技术学会质量管理委员会在 2018 年进行了广泛的工作量研究，以检查不同类型医院和机构的生产力和人员配备。如果您参与了这项广泛的调查，结果将在本期中找到，并且会引起临床和其他组织学机构的关注。JOH 已返回此问题的另一个功能。我们 2018 年至 2019 年的审稿人因其在同行评审方面的时间和努力而获得认可。我特别要感谢这些审稿人，即使是那些没有透露姓名的，因为他们对约翰的服务。该杂志需要来自组织技术各个方面的审稿人，从日常实践到快速新兴技术，例如多路复用、数字病理学以及免疫组织化学、分子神经科学和毒理学，用于临床、兽医和研究学科。2020 年组织技术杂志，第一卷 43，没有。1, 1–2 https://doi.org/10.1080/01478885.2020.1717163 © 2020 国家组织技术学会
