Introduction: The manual differential count has been recognized for its disadvantages, including large interobserver variability and labor intensiveness. In this light, automated digital cell morphology analyzers have been increasingly adopted in hematology laboratories for their robustness and convenience. This study aims to evaluate the white blood cell differential performance of the Mindray MC-80, the new automated digital cell morphology analyzer.

In addition, these bone turnover markers are used to follow-up the conditions of bone remodeling in the patients. Recently, osteoblastic lineage cells have been found that they exist in the human peripheral blood.

This research investigated the effects of PTH by studying the gene expressions and other markers of osteoblast differentiation along with the induction of hSKPs to osteoblast in two experiment groups, i.e.
