ABSTRACT
Objective To provide reference for the cold chain of stored RBCs on the sea by evaluating both blood containers containing phase-changed materials and the quality of stored RBCs during transportation.Methods In order to simulate blood supply on the sea,we transported the stored RBCs on land(100 min),on the sea(45 h)and stored them on the sea for another 7 days.The free hemoglobin(Hb), lactate dehydrogenase(LDH), and concentrations of K +and Na+were measured.Results The temperature of the blood container containing phase-changed materials rose from 4.1℃to 9.5℃.The contents of free Hb,K+and LDH were increased to(0.083 ±0.032)g/L,(15.097 ±1.791)mmol/L, and(106.00 ±17.83)U/L,respectively.During blood storage,the contents of the above three indices were increased to (0.111 ±0.035)g/L,(27.238 ±3.509)mmol/L and(227.00 ±111.94)U/L, while Na +decreased to(113.63 ± 4.012)mmol/L.Conclusion The temperature of the blood container containing phase-changed materials can be maintained at a constant temperature under more complicated environmental conditions,and the quality of the stored RBCs can be ensured.RBCs stored on the sea for more than 7 days are damaged more seriously than those stored on land.
ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze and evaluate the blood preservation effect of two types of blood transportation boxes under field conditions in extreme cold regions of the plain.Methods Before experiment,the hematocrit,hemoglobin(Hb) and free Hb content,Na+and K +of samples of suspended red blood cells(RBCs)were detected and the sterility test was conducted.One of the two boxes was a field blood transportation box that served as control, while the other was made of phase-changed material of two types—1#and 2#.The suspended RBC samples were preserved in the low-temperature blood refrigerators and the two types of boxes respectively and transported under outdoor environment temperatures of -20 --5℃for 2 h.After that,the changes in the blood storage device temperature were recorded after 0,12,24,36,48 and 60 h.Results The suspended RBC preservation time in the field blood transportation box was 42 h vs 58 h in the blood transportation box made of phase-changed material.But their hemolysis rate,Na+,K+and the sterility test all were up to national standards.Conclusion In the extreme cold regions of the plain, the blood transportation box made of phase-changed material can be used to preserve suspended RBCs.
ABSTRACT
Objective To establish a new dialysis washing method for human frozen platelets and to evaluate a new type of washing machine based on dialysis.Methods Twenty bags of platelets(1U)were divided into two groups:centrifugation group and dialysis group.The effect of the washing machine was evaluated by measuring platelet function in vitro.Results After the platelets were treated by the two methods, the recovery rate of dialysis group[(73.57 ± 12.49)%]was significantly better than that of centrifugal group[(62.21 ±7.07)%].The osmotic pressure of dialysis group was 305.8 ±5.27mOsm/kg, compared to 383.2 ±22.00 mOsm/kg in centrifugation group.There was significant differences in the recovery rate and osmotic pressure(P<0.05), but there was no significant difference between dialysis group and centrifugation group in the mean platelet volume[(9.44 ±0.93)vs(9.23 ±0.50)fl], ADP-induced aggregation rate[(20.7 ±8.00)%vs(27.7 ±11.83)%],thrombin-induced platelet aggregation rate[(84.1 ±7.88)%vs(92.9 ±5.28)%], hypotonic shock responses[(19.02 ±4.42)% vs(23.19 ±9.08)%], CD62p activation rate [(16.00 ±9.40)%vs(21.86 ±8.14)%]or apoptosis rate[(46.31 ±10.28)% vs(54.59 ±16.76)%](P>0.05). Conclusion Compared to centrifugation group,the frozen platelet washing machine can not only improve platelet recovery,but also solve the problem of excessive DMSO residues.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the influence on and changes in the biochemical indices of red blood cells(RBCs)in additive solution leukocytes reduced preserved in navy ship force on a long voyage.Methods According to the Requirement of Health Examination for Blood Donors(GB 18467 -2011),RBCs in additive solution leukocytes reduced were prepared from 10 healthy voluntary blood donators one day before sailing.Each blood sample was divided into two parts,one in test group and another in control group.All the groups had samples taken for the biochemical index detection after 1,3,5,7,14 and 21 days of sailing respectively.Results ①The change in total protein(P=0.235)and albumin (P=0.119)concentration was not obvious,and the difference between the two groups was not significant.②The change in total creatinine(P=0.001)and uric acid(P=0.001)concentration was obvious, but the difference between the two groups was not significant.③The change in total cholesterol(P=0.354)concentration was not obvious,but the change in triglycerides(P=0.005)concentration was significant.The difference between the two groups was not significant.④The concentration of lactate dehydrogenase, hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase and creatine kinase increased with the time of preservation(P<0.001).The difference between the two groups was not significant.⑤The interaction between grouping effect and time effect had no significant influence on the concentration of osmolarity(OSM)(P=0.968)and glucose(Glu) (P=0.406).Between the two groups,the difference of concentrations of OSM(P=0.569)and Glu(P=0.115)was not significant.Conclusion Under the 4 class sea conditions, a long voyage has some impact on the storage of RBCs in additive solution leukocytes reduced,as in the conventional blood storage refrigerator(4 ±2)℃.The results of this study have important clinical implications for our further study of marine blood support.
ABSTRACT
Objective To improve the buffer for washing frozen red blood cells(RBCs)and explore the feasibility of replacing the middle buffer of 2% NaCl with 0.9% NaCl solution in the protocol of deglycerolization and the effect was evaluated.Methods Two units of RBCs separated from whole blood of healthy donors were frozen at -80℃.The thawed frozen RBCs were treated with a washing machine.On the basis of the old protocol(protocol 1),the middle buffer of 2%NaCl was replaced,and the usage of washing buffer and the washing steps were adjusted to create a new protocol(protocol 2).The quality of RBCs washed by the two protocols was evaluated.Results According to the results of the detection of RBCs treated by protocol 1 and 2: the hemoglobin contents(g)were 42.18 ±3.35 and 44.98 ±1.68,respectively,free hemoglobin contents(g/L)were 0.53 ±0.06 and 0.45 ±0.05 respectively, the residual amount of white blood cells (×107)was 1.92 ±1.04 and 1.12 ±1.12,and the osmolarities(mOsm)were 327.0 ±9.06 and 331.8 ±10.62 respectively. Sterile experiments were negative for both bacteria and fungi.The hemolysis rates(%)were 12.02 ±5.78 and 14.30 ± 5.67 respectively.The deforming abilities(%)were 21.42 ±1.45 and 21.32 ±0.84 respectively.The RBC recoveries (%)were 77.18 ±5.58 and 79.63 ±2.06 respectively.The processing time(min)was 79.60 ±0.55 and 78.80 ±1.30 respectively.There was no significant difference in the quality of frozen RBCs washed by the old protocol(protocol 1)and the new protocol(protocol 2)(P>0.05).Conclusion The quality of frozen RBCs washed by the two protocols meet national standards.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the changes in red blood cells(RBCs),hemoglobin(Hb),hematocrit(HCT),mean corpuscular volume(MCV),RBC distribution width variation coefficient(RDW-CV)and RBC distribution width standard deviation(RDW-SD)of leukocyte-poor red blood cells preserved in navy ship force on a long voyage.Methods According to the Requirement of Health Examination for Blood Donors(GB 18467 -2011),red blood cells in additive solution leukocytes reduced were randomly collected from ten healthy voluntary blood donors one day before sailing.Each blood sample was preserved.The relevant parameters were detected as data before sailing.Each blood sample was divided into two parts,one in test group and the other in control group.Samples were taken from the two groups of leukocyte-poor red blood cells for the sampling detection after 21 days of sailing respectively.Results ①After sailing, the concentrations of RBCs and Hb declined in both groups,and the difference of RBC concentrations was not significant(P=0.319),but that of the concentrations of Hb was significant(P=0.002).②After sailing, the concentrations of HCT and MCV increased, but the change of HCT was significant(P=0.015),while that of MCV was insignificant(P=0.051).③After sailing,the concentrations of RDW-SD and RDW-CV were higher,but the change of RDW-SD was significant(P<0.001),while that of RDW-CV was not(P=0.528).Conclusion When leukocyte-poor red blood cells are preserved in navy ship force,the concentrations of RBC and Hb decrease,while the concentrations of HCT,MCV,RDW-SD and RDW-CV increase with the prolongation of preservation.A long voyage has some impact on the parameters of red blood cells in additive solution leukocytes reduced,as is the case with the conventional blood storage refrigerator(4 ±2)℃.
