Examinations

Details of tissue and slide preparation:
To observe the cell multiplication of bone marrow, a specimen was fixed with methanol. And 4 % Giemsa solution was used for dyeing to observe the ratio of polychromatic erythrocytes. To observe the micronucleus in the polychromatic erythrocytes, 40 μg/ml acridine was dropped for dyeing



Evaluation criteria:
At least 2000 polychromatic erythrocytes per animal were scored for the incidence of micronuclei
Statistics:
ANOVA (using Sigmastat 2.0 statistic programme)
