[Observation on micronuclei incidence of peripheral blood lymphocyte in attendants diesel locomotive and wheel axle workers].
The analyses of micronuclei of peripheral blood lymphocyte was performed in 51 attendents in diesel locomotive and 30 wheel axle workers. The results showed that the rates of positive micronucleus, micronucleus cells and micronuclei in the attendants and the wheel axle workers were much higher than the control group. The frequencies of micronucleus cells and micronuclei obviously increased with the service time. The possible reasons which caused the micronucleus increase in two types of workers were discussed.
