To evaluate the effects of blood cells on the response of platelets to aggregating agents using whole blood impedance aggregometer, studies were carried out on whole blood (WB) of normal subjects and of patients with: polycythemia vera (PV), iatrogenic anemia (IA), primary thrombocytosis (PT), idiopathic thrombotic purpura (ITP), myeloid chronic leukemia (MCL), iatrogenic leukopenia (IL). The in vitro effects of red blood cells (RBC) and of white blood cells (WBC) on platelet rich plasma (PRP) aggregation were also evaluated. WB, PRP, WBC and RBC were prepared by conventional methods. Aggregation was performed using the impedance aggregometer (mod. 540, Chrono Log Corp). In normal subjects the concentration of collagen giving 50 % aggregation (AC50 ) found in PRP did not differ from that of WB, indicating that hematocrit values within the normal range did not appreciably affect platelet aggregation. The results obtained in WB of patients are summarized in the table: In vitro data showed that aggregation in prp in wb of normal subjects was related to the number of platelets present in the sample. RBC added to PRP significant reduced aggregation only when the RBC number was greater than 4.101 cells. No effect of WBC on collagen induced aggregation of PRP was observed, whereas significant inhibition was detected after ADP. It is concluded that the aggregation evaluated in WB with impedance method is dependent on the platelet number. Also, in vitro data and studies in WB of patients indicate that aggregation is significantly affected by the presence of cells other than platelets only in conditions of changes of the ratio between platelets and leukocytes and/or red cells.

Aim: A new one-step flow cytometry procedure has been recently demonstrated for identifying subjects with infections, but only for fresh whole blood samples. The goal of this study was to assess its applicability on frozen samples, by proposing a new method to perform the sample freezing directly and easily. Methods: Fresh blood was tested, then frozen either directly or with dimethylsulfoxide and serum. Common markers of white blood cells as well as infection-related biomarkers were tested. Results: All percentages of leucocyte subsets and levels of infection-related biomarkers were significantly correlated between frozen and fresh samples. Conclusion: The direct freezing method enables an accurate assessment of common cellular sub-populations and of levels of important infectious biomarkers via flow cytometry.

Numerical modeling of whole blood still faces great challenges although significant progress has been achieved in recent decades, because of the large differences of physical and geometric properties among blood components, including red blood cells (RBCs), platelets (PLTs) and white blood cells (WBCs). In this work, we develop a three-dimensional (3D) smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) model to study the whole blood in shear flow. The immersed boundary method (IBM) is used to deal with the interaction between the fluid and cells, which provides a possibility to model the RBCs, PLTs and WBCs simultaneously. The deformation of a small capsule, comparable to a PLT in size, is first examined to show the feasibility of SPH model for the PLTs’ behaviors. The motion of a single RBC in shear flow is then studied, and three typical modes, tank-treading, swinging and tumbling motions, are reproduced, which further confirm the reliability of the SPH model. After that, a simulation of the whole blood in shear flow is carried out, in which the margination trend is observed for both PLTs and WBC. This shows the capability of SPH model with IBM for the simulation of whole blood.

Hematological Values

Some hematological values, blood total protein, protein fractions, and minerals such as calcium and phosphorus of takhi, which are now being reintroduced in Khustain natural park, were measured. There were 8.3 million red blood cells and 8000 white blood cells in 1 mm3 whole blood of takhi reintroduced in Khustain natural park, and hemoglobin was 179.6±3.2 g/l. As well, total proteins, calcium and phosphorus of takhi were 67± 0.6 g/l, 2.1±0.31 mmol/l, and 1.1±0.2 mmol/l respectively and they were similar to those in Mongolian horses. It has been necessary to investigate further adaptability of takhi in asscoation with both internal and external environments of its body.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5564/mjas.v11i2.206 Mongolian Journal of Agricultural Sciences Vol.11(2) 2013 pp.3-6
