  1. The FUHEN cells were washed two times with 1 % HS-αMEM, and were suspended with various solutions, respectively. Then the cells were seeded in four petri dishes (Falcon 1008) at a density of 3 × 104 cells/dish. After 5 min of incubation at room temperature, the dishes were washed two times with PBS and fixed with 70 % EtOH for 3 h. Then, the cells were stained with hematoxylin or May-Grünwald Giemsa, and photographs were taken. The number of attached cells per area was counted. One-way ANOVAs and multiple comparison tests (Tukey–Kramer’s HSD test) were carried out
  2. * Means significant (p < 0.05) difference compared to the control
