Background: The pathogen detection rate of traditional ink staining procedure (TISP) is low.
Methods: A modified ink staining procedure (MISP) was created to accumulate pathogen by using cell slide centrifuge. Items of RBC, WBC, and cryptococcus were observed.
Results: There were 79.98 ± 54.94 RBC and 126.98 ± 36.39 WBC in one MISP microscopic field whereas there were only 3.35 ± 2.41 RBC and 6.15 ± 1.85 WBC in one TISP microscopic field in the same sample (*200). There was statistical difference between those two methods (p = 0.000). There were 40.78 ± 13.23 mL cryptococcus in CSF processed by MISP whereas there were only 2.10 ± 1.10 mL cryptococcus in the same CSF processed by TISP. There was statistical difference between those two methods.
Conclusions: The modified ink staining procedure contributes to the separation of cells and pathogens (such as cryptococcus).

Introduction: Preoperative identification of the site of rectal cancer surgery is crucial for ensuring accurate tumor localization and resection. Commonly employed methods include contrast-enhanced enterography and endoscopic marking techniques, such as clipping and India ink tattooing. However, India ink tattooing poses challenges, including obstruction of the surgical field, ink leakage into the abdominal cavity, and potential complications such as peritonitis and adhesive bowel obstruction.

Tattooing has become a popular global trend in industrialised countries, with the highest prevalence rates of up to 30-40 % in the adult population younger than 40 years. Common tattoo inks may contain heavy metals, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and primary aromatic amines, toxic if exceeding permissible limits. It is estimated that about 14.
