Objective To detect micronuclei (MN) induced by nickel chloride (NiCl2) using a flow cytometry-based method, so as to study the mutagenecity of this chemical. Methods The micronucleated reticulocytes (MN-RET) in peripheral blood of NIH mice exposed to 0.75 mg/kg colchicines (COL), 40.0 mg/kg of cyclophosphamide (CP) and 5.0, 10.0 and 20.0 mg/kg of NiCl2 were detected by a flow cytometry-based method, in which anti-CD71-FITC and PI were used to stain cells and malaria-infected erythrocytes were employed as biological standards of micronuclei to optimize cytometry. Results Although COL or CP induced significant increase in the frequency of MN-RET in peripheral blood, MN formation in peripheral reticulocytes was not significantly affected by exposing to different concentration of NiCl2. Conclusion The results of flow cytometric analysis in the present paper do not support that NiCl2 exposure may induce significant MN-RET increase in peripheral blood in NIH mice.

Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of microscopic observation drug susceptibility assay (MODS) in extrapulmonary tuberculosis. Methods MODS technology was constructed by using 24-well cell culture plate and liquid culture.Ziehl-Neelsen smear,Lowenstein-Jensen culture and MODS were used to detect Mycobacterium tuberculosis in 74 pleural fluid samples collected from patients with tuberculous pleurisy,63 cerebrospinal fluid samples collected from patients with tuberculous meningitis and 18 samples collected from non-tuberculosis suspects.The immunochromatography was used to distinguish Mycobacterium tuberculosis from nontuberculosis mycobacteria. The results of Ziehl-Neelsen smear, Lowenstein-Jensen culture and MODS were compared by x2 test.Results The positive rates of MODS,Lowenstein-Jensen culture and Ziehl-Neelsen smear were 58.1 % (43/74),18.9 % (14/74 ) and 6.8% (5/74),respectively in tuberculous pleurisy patients; 54.0%(34/63),20.6% (13/63) and 4.8% (3/63),respectively in tuberculous meningitis patients.The positive rate of MODS technology was significantly higher than that of Lowenstein Jensen culture in tuberculous pleurisy patients (x2 =24.00,P<0.01) and tuberculous meningitis patients (x2 =14.97,P < 0.01). Each Mycobacterium obtained from MODS and Lowenstein-Jensen culture was identified as Mycobacterium tuberculosis by immunochromatography.All of the 18 pleural fluid and cerebrospinal fluid samples which collected from non-tuberculosis suspects were all negative detected by Ziehl-Neelsen smear,Lowenstein-Jensen culture and MODS.The median time to culture positive of MODS was 9 days in cerebrospinal fluid and 14 days in pleural fluid samples,which were both significantly shorter than that of Lowenstein-Jensen culture (31 days in both cerebrospinal fluid and pleural fluid samples). Conclusion Compared to conventional microbiological diagnosis methods,MODS is a rapid detection method of Mycobacterium tuberculosis with a higher positive detection rate,which is suitable for rapid diagnosis of extrapulmonary tuberculosis.

BACKGROUND: Study on bone tissue-engineered material is one of the most successful fields in tissue engineering, but the mechanism on synthesis of artificial bone has not been known in many aspects.OBJECTIVE: To explore the mechanism of collagen and calcium phosphate (CP) in artificial bone synthesis.DESIGN: Single sample experiment was designed.SETTING: Material Research Room of Honghe University.MATERIALS: The experiment was performed in Material Research Room of Honghe University from July to August 2003. The materials included collagen (10 g/L acetic acid solution), calcium chloride, sodium dihydrogen phosphate (SDP), sodium hydroxide (NaOH), Tris, hydrochloric acid and deionized water (DI water).METHODS: Liquid nitrogen freezing and freeze-drying were used to prepare collagen-CP complexes A and B and the samples at different times during mineralization. UV spectrophotometer was used to determine the biomineralized dynamic curve of collagen-CP. Based on law of curve, the different times of sample collection were determined in preparation of electronic microscopic samples. According to electronic microscopic pictures and spectral data, mechanism analysis was carried on.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Morphology of collagen-CP complex and law of its structure with time changeRESULTS: ①Under agitation, collagen-CP complex A was sheaf-like or needle-like in structure manufactured with retarded neutralization. ②Under static state, with biomineralization, collagen-CP complex B was in layered structure at initial phase of mineralization, which was similar to the self-assembled structure of pure collagen and the molarratio of C, O, P and Ca was 7.26: 20: 0: 2. At the end of mineralization, the structure was strip-like in high density with a certain grains and very fine rills and the molar ratio of C, O, P and Ca was 11.02: 22.5:1.06: 2.CONCLUSION: At the early phase of biomineralization, collagen iscoordinated initially with calcium ion, calcium-carrier layered collagen template is formed with the self-assembling of collagen, and then phosphates is combined with calcium ion to manufacture calcium phosphate in the formed template. By controlling agitation and acting time, collagen complex material of reticular and spinal structure is obtained.
