The possibility that microsecond pulses of 3 MHz ultrasound may interact at the cellular level, with genetic consequences, was investigated using two different endpoints. The Ames mammalian microsome test was employed to assess mutagenicity and viability in Salmonella typhimurium bacteria, while the sister chromatid exchange frequency provided an indicator of ultrasound induced effects at the chromosome level in Chinese hamster ovary cells.
使用两个不同的终点来研究3兆赫超声微秒脉冲可能在细胞水平相互作用并产生遗传后果的可能性。采用艾姆斯氏哺乳动物微粒体试验来评估鼠伤寒沙门氏菌中的诱变性和生存能力，而姐妹染色单体交换频率则提供了超声在中国仓鼠卵巢细胞染色体水平诱导效应的一个指标。
