The feasibility of bone transport with bone substitute and the factors which are essential for a successful bone transport are unknown. We studied six groups of 12 Japanese white rabbits. Groups A to D received cylindrical autologous bone segments and groups E and F hydroxyapatite prostheses. The periosteum was preserved in group A so that its segments had a blood supply, cells, proteins and sc...

correlated positively and negatively with the percentage of normal and abnormal cells, respectively (Figure 1B-C). Fluorescent labeling of HbF allowed us to discriminate nonF-cells (Figure 1Di-ii) fromF-cells (Figure 1Diii-iv), and analyze their shape as captured in the brightfield images. The images confirmed the prediction that some RBCs with detectable HbF content still sickle (Figure 1Div),...
