ABSTRACT
Aims:To measure free hemoglobin percentage in stored packed red blood cells units by colorimetric method.Study Design:This is a descriptive, hospital based case study.Place and Duration of Study:Khartoum central blood bank during the period from June to September 2021.Methodology:A total of thirty-six packed red blood cells blood bags with Citrate-Phosphate-Dextrose-Adenine-one (CPDA-1) stored at 2-6°C for 35 days were withdrawn aseptically on days one; 14, and day 35. Free hemoglobin concentration was measured with Drabkin's method through digital photoelectric colorimeter in which the percentage of hemolysis was calculated, and PH values were measured by a PH meter (ADWA). Mean and standard deviation ofeach day were calculated by statistical package for social science (SPSS)computer program version 22.0.Results:The results showed statistically significant elevation in percentages of free plasma hemoglobin with prolongation of storage duration periods; day one compared with day 14 (P= 0.001), day one compared with day 35(P= 0.001) and day 14 compared with day 35 (P= 0.001). No significant correlation was observed between the degree of hemolysis in day 35 with PH values (P= 0.9).Conclusion:This study concluded that prolonged storage is associated with elevation of free plasma hemoglobin level indicative of progressive hemolysis.
ABSTRACT
Cell-free hemoglobin refers to the rupture of erythrocyte membrane due to instability of erythrocyte membrane caused by various causes, and hemoglobin is released free in the plasma.High concentration of plasma cell-free hemoglobin can cause intracellulariron ion deposition, oxidative damage, damage of lung, kidney and other related tissue, and seriously affect the treatment and prognosis of patients with sepsis.Nuclear factor E2-related factor 2(NRF2) as an antioxidant cytokine at the same time, plays important roles in the process of adjusting the resistance to oxidative stress, but the mechanism is not thorough.This review summarized the sepsis cell-free hemoglobin production, metabolism, and the activation of NRF2 and antioxidant mechanisms, to provide reference for further research.
ABSTRACT
Although some investigations have been performed to determine the effects of transfusion load and suction pressure on renal function during intraoperative salvage autotransfusion, the precise threshold is still undetermined. A total of 625 patients undergoing surgery with the Continuous AutoTransfusion System (CATSplus) were enrolled and divided into groups according to the utilized suction pressure and transfusion volume. Plasma free hemoglobin (FHB) and creatinine clearance (CCr) were assayed to indicate the renal function. Both 0.03 MPa suction (≥4-unit load) and >5 units transfusion changed the levels of FHB and CCr significantly when measured 24 h post-operation compared to pre-operation. Under 0.02 MPa suction (≥4-unit load), the alteration of FHB and CCr returned to normal after 24 h. Under 3 units transfusion, the levels of FHB and CCr at 6 and 12 h post-operation changed significantly compared to pre-operation (P<0.05 or P<0.01, respectively), and this alteration could be restored to normal at 72 h post-operation. After an exhaustive investigation, less than 4 units transfusion and less than 0.03 MPa suction pressure are recommended for intraoperative salvage autotransfusion.

ABSTRACT
Background: Gamma irradiation has been often used for inactivating viable T lymphocytes in the blood product to prevent post-transfusion graft - vs - host disease (PT - GVHD) occurred in the recipients having immunodeficiency. But the irradiating method must be determined to minimize the reverse effects on other blood elements. Objectives: to evaluate the side effects of gamma irradiating with 25 Gy and in different ways on red cells in stored red cell concentrates. Subjects and methods: Each of 30 red cell concentrates was divided into 3 parts and treated in 3 different ways to create 3 groups of sample for studying. All the samples were stored 35 days at 4 - 6\xb0C and measured red cell osmotic fragility, hemoglobin (Hb) level in storage solution in days 1,7,14,21,28,35. Results: 1) Red cell osmotic fragility decreased and free Hb level increased with time in the samples of 3 groups. 2) Red cell osmotic fragility decreased strongly from the 28th day (p < 0.05) and free Hb level increased dramatically from the 14th day (p < 0.001) in the samples of group 2 compared to control group and group 3 with the same storage time, while there was no difference in these parameters in groups 1 and 3. Conclusion: 1) Gamma irradiation with 25 Gy affected the intact of red cells in red cell concentrates only when irradiated right after being produced and stored more than 14 days. 2) The quality of red cell would be unchanged if used immediately after irradiated. \r\n', u'\r\n', u'

BACKGROUND: Intraoperative autotransfusion or residual blood in a cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) circuit has been used to reduce the need for an homologous blood transfusion during cardiac surgery. However, it may contain some free hemoglobin released from damaged cells. The load of blood containing free hemoglobin may cause renal dysfunction. We measured the amount of free hemoglobin in banked blood, cell saver blood and CPB blood to evaluate what is the least hemolytic blood transfused in cardiac surgery. METHODS: This study was performed in 20 patients undergoing cardiac surgery. In each patient, the banked blood, intraoperative salvaged blood with a cell saver and CPB residual blood were sampled at the end of the operation. The concentration of free hemoglobin, hemoglobin and platelet counts were measured in these blood samples and percent of hemolysis was calculated (%hemolysis = [free hemoglobin] / [free hemoglobin hemoglobin]) RESULTS: In salvaged blood with a cell saver, CPB residual blood and banked blood, hemoglobin concentrations were 20.1+/-2.7 g/dl, 8.0+/-1.1 g/dl, and 22.2+/-2.7 g/dl, respectively. Free hemoglobin concentrations were 336.6+/-239.5 mg/dl, 49.2+/-26.8 mg/dl, and 279.5+/-167.5 mg/dl respectively. Platelet counts were 26.1+/-22.2X10(3)/mm3, 116.8+/-56.5X10(3)/mm3, and 94.9+/-43.6X10(3)/mm3 respectively. % Hemolysis were 1.6+/-1.1%, 0.6+/-0.4%, and 1.2+/-0.7% respectively. In the comparison between the salvaged blood with a cell saver and CPB residual blood, free hemoglobin concentration, % hemolysis, and platelet counts had positive correlations (r = 0.8, 0.7, and 0.6). CONCLUSIONS: In twenty cardiac surgeries, CPB residual blood had a lower free hemoglobin level than the other two blood groups. The platelet counts in CPB residual blood were higher than those in cell saver blood but did not differ from those in banked blood. Therefore, CPB residual blood was the least hemolytic blood among the three blood groups when a transfusion was performed in cardiac surgery.
