Hi colleagues:I have just received the sad news that the prestigious Russian histopathologist Prof. Alexander Matsionis passed away (see included message).Although his name is almost unknown in our field he always was extremely enthusiast about new histopathology procedures and helped introducing isopropanol tissue processing in scores of Russian labs.My thoughts to his family, colleagues and friends.René

He organized Rostov pathological-anatomical bureau. He also united almost all the pathologists of southern Russia's regions and gave way in the life of so many young pathologists, who have already proved themselves excellent specialists. He helped to development of our processing method with isopropanol and mineral oil. He was a great friend and cheerful, always helped the needy both as pathologists, as patients also.He always appreciated your help and support.
In our memory and hearts he will stay forever.
