[Seasonal fluctuations in the activity of stromal precursor cells of human bone marrow].
The results of the cloning of fibroblastic colony-forming units (CFU-F) from the bone marrow of normal sites of the spongy bones were analysed in 250 orthopaedic patients. It has been shown that the activity of CFU-F was changing during a year. The number of negative results of CFU-F's cloning were 33%, 60% and 50% in March, April and October respectively. The absolute values of CFU-F cloning were lower in March and April than in other months. The seasonal changes in the activity of CFU-F in human bone marrow should be taken into consideration when studying the physiology and pathology of the bone and hemopoietic system, and in clinical practice.
