Comparison of histamine release in cord blood and adult blood

Histamine release (HR) after stimulation with anti-IgE, concanavalin A (ConA) and Formyl-Met-Leu-Phe (FMLP) from 97 cord blood samples was compared to results obtained in identically treated blood samples from adults.The maximal HR obtained with anti-IgE did not differ significantly from the values obtained in adult blood, although a ten times higher concentration of anti-IgE was required for maximum release.Passive sensitization with IgE-rich plasma caused a significant increase in maximal anti-IgE-induced HR in the majority of cord blood samples, and the dose-response curve was similar to that obtained in adult blood.Challenge with ConA and FMLP caused a HR similar to that seen in adult blood, but the close correlation between anti-IgE- and concanavalin A-induced HR seen in adult blood was absent in cord blood.     

Artificial blood

Artificial blood is a product made to act as a substitute for red blood cells. While true blood serves many different functions, artificial blood is designed for the sole purpose of transporting oxygen and carbon dioxide throughout the body. Depending on the type of artificial blood, it can be produced in different ways using synthetic production, chemical isolation, or recombinant biochemical technology. Development of the first blood substitutes dates back to the early 1600s, and the search for the ideal blood substitute continues. Various manufacturers have products in clinical trials; however, no truly safe and effective artificial blood product is currently marketed. It is anticipated that when an artificial blood product is available, it will have annual sales of over $7.6 billion in the United States alone.     

Regional redistribution of blood in unanesthetized rats after blood loss

Relative changes in local blood volume in 46 vascular regions of the body after moderate and severe blood loss are described. Moderate blood loss caused a redistribution of blood from the skin of the chest and hind limbs, most organs of the abdomen and pelvis, the muscular and bony tissues of the abdomen, pelvis, and limbs to the brain, heart, lungs, kidneys, stomach and to the muscles of the head and neck. After severe blood loss the changes were similar but the blood volume in the kidneys and stomach was reduced; a relative increase in the blood volume in the muscular and bony tissues of the thorax also was observed. The intensity of the redistributive response to severe blood loss was less than to a moderate blood loss.Central Research Laboratory, S. M. Kirov Leningrad Postgraduate Medical Institute.

Cord blood

Screening of total IgE in 2814 cord blood samples was analysed by Phadebas IgE PRIST in 2 1-year birth cohorts (1983-1984 and 1985–1986) in Denmark (n =1189+ 1625). 48.6% of the sera contained less IgE than the detection limit 0.1 kU/1. Cord blood IgE values > 0.5 kU/1 were regarded as elevated. 13.2% of the sera contained at least 0.5 kU/1 of IgE, with a significant preponderance in boys. Geometric mean cord blood IgE was 0.13 kU/1 and 0.12 kU/1, respectively. Geometric mean cord blood IgE was significantly higher in boys. A significant seasonal variation with lowest IgE values in the autumn was found. No correlation between cord blood IgE and birth weight or gestational age was demonstrated. Only few newborns had cord blood igA values > 0.014 g/l, calculated as geometric mean cord blood IgA + 2 SD among children with no detectable cord blood IgE, indicating infrequent contamination with maternal blood.
Clinical aspects
Using a simple cord blood sampling method and a sensitive IgE analysis., Phadebas IgE P rist , reproducible results of cord blood IgE in 2 unselected series of newborns were obtained. Cord blood IgA determination is recommended in all infants with cord blood IgE ≥ 1.0 kU/1 in order to exclude contamination with maternal blood.

Electret-thermal analysis of blood

The thermally stimulated discharge (TSD) method, intended for the analysis of charged dielectrics, was used for human blood research. Above-room-temperature TSD spectra of blood consist of three peaks. There are indications that the low-temperature peak (40-50 degrees C) corresponds to the thermally stimulated destruction of hydrate shells surrounding blood components while the mid-temperature peak (70-90 degrees C) is related to thermal denaturation of blood proteins. The intensive high-temperature peak (105-120 degrees C) is observed when a phase transition of blood, accompanied by the formation of a firm dry film of blood, occurs. The position of the high-temperature peak depends on the blood group. Data is discussed which suggests that the spontaneous "quasi-electret effect" of blood relates to the character of the biochemical processes taking place in human organisms. The TSD method might be used as simple and informative means of diagnostics in cooperation with medical and physical investigations.

Development of a scenario-based blood bank model to maximize reducing the blood wastage

IntroductionBlood is a valuable as well as a perishable commodity that has a limited lifespan. So, keeping it in a blood bank requires careful attention and management. In this study, a management model has been designed for the blood bank that can cover all the requests sent through the hospital subunits in such a way that it has the least waste.Materials and MethodsFirst, by examining the blood inventory system of a hospital, the number of inventories per month and the distribution of blood products in subunits of the hospital, and the amount of blood wastage every six months were estimated. Then, using ARENA simulation, all parts of the blood bank, including the request section, emergency blood section, donated blood section, and other sections were simulated. Finally, 10 scenarios were extracted by placing various parameters and the best scenarios were discussed and concluded.Results and discussionThe scenarios for the four blood groups included A, B, AB, and O were applied for six months in one year. The results showed that if the amount of blood injected into the blood bank is appropriate and at the right time, the amount of wastage can be reduced by up to 80% for most of the blood groups.ConclusionThe results of this study showed that if the system of receiving blood products built upon a precise management model is predetermined and placed with appropriate parameters, the amount of wastage will be reduced to the minimum possible number.

Automated quantitation of hemoglobin-based blood substitutes in whole blood samples.

It is necessary to develop methods for accurate monitoring of cell-free hemoglobin in circulation. Routine monitoring of circulating cell-free hemoglobin will be useful for evaluating the efficacy of blood substitute administration andfor determining the clearance rates of the blood substitute from circulation. In addition, discriminating between cell-free hemoglobin and cell-associated hemoglobin will enable accurate determination of RBC indices, mean cell hemoglobin and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration, in individuals receiving hemoglobin-based blood substitutes. As colorimetric methods used by hematology analyzers to quantitate the hemoglobin value of a blood sample cannot distinguish between cell-associated and cell-free hemoglobin, it is currently not feasible to quantitate the levels of hemoglobin substitutes in circulation. The advent of a technology that measures volume and hemoglobin concentration of individual RBCs provides an alternative strategy for quantitating the cell-associated hemoglobin in a blood sample. We document that the combined use of cell-based and colorimetric hemoglobin measurements provides accurate discrimination between cell-associated and cell-free hemoglobin over a wide range of hemoglobin levels. This strategy should enable rapid and accurate monitoring of the levels of cell-free hemoglobin substitutes in the circulation of recipients of these blood substitutes.     

Retrospective analysis of molecular biology mechanism of ABO blood group typing discrepancy among blood donors in Jinan blood station

BackgroundTo accurately identify ABO blood typing in pre-transfusion testing is very important to ensure blood transfusion safely, which is a major responsibility of blood station.MethodsEighty-one blood donors samples with ABO blood group typing discrepancy was collected among 61952 donor samples in our blood station from January 2019 to July 2020. Blood group serological method was used to detect ABO blood group. DNA Sequencing was used to determine the genotype. The antibody screening test detects antibodies other than ABO.ResultsIn total, 61,952 donor samples were analysed for ABO typing discrepancies. The incidence among blood donors was 0.13% (81/61952). The most common reason of ABO typing discrepancies was due to specific antibody or non-specific agglutination (54.32%, 44/81), mainly anti-M antibody, cold autoantibody, anti-D antibody, anti-N antibody and anti-Lea antibody. The major cause of forward typing discrepancies among blood donors was ABO subgroups (25.93%, 21/81), including 10 cases of A subtype (1 case of A2, 2 cases of A3, 2 cases of Ax, 3 cases of AxB, 1 case of Ael, 1 case of Ahm), 6 cases of B subtype (2 cases of B3, 1 case of Bel, 3 cases of AB3), 2 cases of B subtype (A), 1 case of cisAB, and 2 cases of acquired B. The serum antibody was weakened in 16 cases (19.75%).ConclusionsThe blood types should be correctly identified by combining serology with gene sequencing to ensure the safety of clinical blood transfusion, when the forward and reverse typing discrepancies among the blood donors.     

Clotting power and protein composition of lymph and blood after acute blood loss

Summary In experiments on dogs a study was made of the role played by the lymphatic system in the acceleration of blood coagulation after acute blood loss. After blood letting the clotting time decreased in all the experiments except one. As distinct from blood, the rate of lymph coagulation remained unchanged. Disturbed lymph circulation, caused by cannulzation of the chief lymph collectors, did not exclude acceleration of blood coagulation after blood letting. Thus, acceleration of blood coagulation following blood loss was not caused by the penetration of factors stimulating hemocoagulation through the lymph. The factor, causing blood hypercoagulation, does not gain access to the lymph in significant quantity.(Presented by Active Member AMN SSSR V. V.

Use of a blood glucose meter for radiochromic film analysis in blood irradiation

The use of a diabetic blood glucose meter for radiochromic film dosimetry in blood irradiation using x-ray beams on a medical linear accelerator has been investigated. The glucose meter provides optical density analysis in the visible and infrared region using a reflectance measurement technique. By comparing the 'blood sugar' level output with standard calibration gafchromic films a calibration curve is produced for quantitative analysis. Results show that a reproducible dose to meter output curve can be fitted using a second order polynomial function and that blood irradiation doses in vitro were measured to within 7.9% mean error (as compared to ionization chamber results) using the blood glucose meter. This level of accuracy falls below that measured with a standard densitometer (4.3%); however, results show that the blood glucose meter, which would be available in any haematology department, produces an adequate measure of gafchromic film optical density for blood irradiation dosimetry.

Pituitary blood flow

The direction of pituitary blood flow, the amount of pituitary blood flow, its regional control, and the role of the median eminence microcirculation are the subjects of this review. Present concepts of pituitary blood flow are focused almost entirely on its direction and arouse from studies of pituitary vascular anatomy performed almost 50 years ago. The development of new anatomic techniques has led to a reappraisal of pituitary angioarchitecture, stimulated physiological studies to clarify the pattern of blood flow within the entire gland, and led to a reappraisal of accepted concepts of directional pituitary blood flow. The availability of techniques to accurately measure organ blood flow has permitted study of pituitary blood flow; and, when combined with knowledge of pituitary anatomy, the application of these techniques promises to provide a means to develop insight into control of the mechanisms by which chemical messengers are delivered to the pituitary to control its function. New anatomic techniques promise to develop new understanding of the three-dimensional arrangement of median eminence microvasculature and yield new concepts of blood flow regulation within the median eminence that can be tested by physiological means.     

人外周血与脐血内皮祖细胞生物学特性的比较

背景：内皮祖细胞可从外周血与脐血中获取,是修复各种疾病所致损伤的血管内皮细胞不可或缺的细胞来源。 目的：比较人外周血与脐血来源的内皮祖细胞经体外培养后生物学特性的差异。 方法：通过密度梯度离心法和6%羟乙基淀粉结合密度梯度离心法分别分离人外周血与脐血中的单个核细胞,分别设为脐血源组和外周血源组,计数各组单个核细胞数量,按1.0×106/cm2接种于大鼠尾胶包被的培养皿中,用内皮细胞培养基进行诱导,共培养7 d。 结果与结论：外周血与脐血体外培养分离出内皮祖细胞具有类似的形态学特征。光学显微镜下观察,随着培养天数的增加,大多数细胞由早期的贴壁圆形转变为梭形。外周血源组内皮祖细胞有细胞集落形成,脐血源组可见梭形细胞自行排列生长为典型的线样结构。锥虫蓝染色及绘制细胞生长曲线后发现,外周血源组单个核细胞及内皮祖细胞数量、内皮祖细胞活率及增殖能力均低于脐血源组(P < 0.05)。外周血源组和脐血源组内皮祖细胞在接种后第3天增殖速度达到峰值,在随后的培养中细胞增殖呈衰减态。流式细胞仪及免疫荧光染色检测结果显示,外周血源组和脐血源组内皮祖细胞均可表达具有内皮祖细胞表型的CD133、CD34和血管内皮细胞因子受体2表面标志物,两组既摄取Dil标记乙酰化低密度脂蛋白,也能标记体外内皮祖细胞的标志物荆豆凝集素Ⅰ。结果证实,脐血来源的内皮祖细胞与外周血来源的内皮祖细胞生物学特性相近,脐血来源的内皮祖细胞增殖能力更强。     

Redistribution of the blood in the blood vessels of lower monkeys

Summary Experiments were performed on various species of monkeys. It was established there was a decreased number of erythrocytes, leucocytes (of the total number, as well as of their separate forms) and hemoglobin in the blood taken from the vein in comparison with the blood taken from capillaries of the ear lobe. The color index (which reflects the degree of saturation of a single erythrocyte by hemoglobin) and the ratio of the lymphocytes and neutrophils are the same in both specimens of the blood. The difference between the total number of leucocytes in the ear capillary and in the vein is greatest during the first few days when the animal is not yet used to the conditions in which the experiment is performed. With a decline of the reaction to the environmental conditions, the difference between the total number of leucocytes taken from the ear capillary and the vein becomes less pronounced due to the decrease of leucocytes in the blood taken from the ear. This demonstrates that uneven distribution of the cellular elements and hemoglobin in various vessels of the organism is the result of redistribution of the blood.Presented by Active Member Acad.

Magnetohydrodynamic pumping of blood

A simple theory is developed for a magnetohydrodynamic blood pump. Substitution of practical values into the final equations reveals that the application of magnetohydrodynamics to the pumping of blood, contrary to previously published opinion, is not at present a practical proposition.
