In a repeated study on 17 dairy calves, T-1824 dye plasma dilution showed significantly higher blood volumes than were found by any other technique or computation method using Cr51-tagged red blood cells. Five blood samples taken at 20-minute intervals after injection showed consistent decrease in radioactivity count from the first to the last sample, indicating greater accuracy in radioactivity dilution regressed to zero time figures than in average counts of several postinjection samples. In vitro studies suggest a loss of Cr51 from red blood cells to plasma after saline washings are Cr-free. Percentage blood volumes computed from whole blood samples of calves injected with Cr51-tagged red blood cells decreased in a straight line relationship with increase of body weight. Percentage plasma and whole blood volumes estimated with the T-1824 dye technique decreased regularly with body weight increase until a second determination was made when there was a rapid rise nearly to the level of the smallest calves, followed by another regular decrease with increase in weight. It is suggested that repeated dye injections do not always measure the same space. Regressed values of five whole blood samples taken at 20-minute intervals after injection of Cr51 tagged red blood cells gave more consistent blood volume determinations than either the weighed red cells or the plasma dye dilutions of the same samples.

Red blood cells (RBCs) from cord blood contain fetal hemoglobin that is predominant in newborns and, therefore, may be more appropriate for neonatal transfusions than currently transfused adult RBCs. Post-collection, cord blood can be stored at room temperature for several days before it is processed for stem cells isolation, with little known about how these conditions affect currently discarded RBCs. The present study examined the effect of the duration cord blood spent at room temperature and other cord blood characteristics on cord RBC quality. RBCs were tested immediately after their isolation from cord blood using a broad panel of quality assays. No significant decrease in cord RBC quality was observed during the first 65 hours of storage at room temperature. The ratio of cord blood to anticoagulant was associated with RBC quality and needs to be optimized in future. This knowledge will assist in future development of cord RBC transfusion product.

Introduction: Sickle cell disease (SCD) occurs due to a mutation in the β-subunit of hemoglobin, causing stiffening of red blood cells (RBCs) and leading to RBC sickling and vaso-occlusive crises (VOC) in SCD patients. While sickled RBCs remain a hallmark of SCD, they are prone to lysis and represent a small fraction of the total RBCs present in patients at a given time. The remaining RBCs maintain a normal, discoid shape and are either healthy or stiff due to polymerization of the hemoglobin β-globin subunit. In healthy blood flow, RBCs form a core in the center of the vessel and the remaining cells, platelets and white blood cells (WBCs), marginate towards the endothelium. However, the increased stiffness of RBCs in SCD disrupts this neat segregation of blood cells to different areas of the blood vessel and can contribute to VOC, the root cause of many acute and chronic complications for SCD patients. Despite the presence of normally shaped, stiffened RBCs in SCD patients, the impact of these RBCs on other cell types in blood flow is currently not well understood. Our laboratory previously demonstrated that the presence of artificially rigidified RBCs leads to an expansion of the RBC core and significantly decreases WBC adhesion to an inflamed endothelium in vitro. Here, we examine the impact of stiffened RBCs on platelet adhesion to a damaged endothelium in vitro by first using a model system with artificially rigidified RBCs and second, utilizing SCD patient blood to further support our model and understand platelet-RBC interactions in SCD patients. Methods: In our model system, we artificially rigidified RBCs taken from healthy donors and reconstituted them into whole blood before perfusing the mixture over an activated, damaged endothelium using a parallel plate flow chamber. We quantified platelet adhesion to the endothelium in comparison to healthy, non-rigidified controls using fluorescent microscopy. To determine if our model findings translated to SCD, we recruited a cohort of hemoglobin SS and SC patients during routine visits and similarly perfused their whole blood over the same damaged endothelium and quantified platelet adhesion. Results and conclusions: The inclusion of artificially rigidified RBCs in otherwise healthy subject blood flow significantly increased platelet adhesion to a damaged endothelium with a maximum increase in platelet adhesion of six-fold over a healthy, non-rigid control in our model system. Both RBC rigidity and the percentage of RBCs that were artificially rigidified had a large impact on the increase in platelet adhesion. SCD platelet adhesion to the damaged endothelium model varied from donor to donor based on variables such as treatment method and disease severity. Overall, this work experimentally elucidates the biophysical impact of stiffened RBCs on platelet adhesion using both an artificial model utilizing healthy blood as well as SCD blood, which can help determine the mechanism of action causing VOC in SCD.

We investigated the effect of red blood cells (RBC) on "in vitro" platelet aggregation by the use of the "Electronic Whole Blood Aggregometer" (Chrono-Log Corporation). Preliminary experiments, studying platelet aggregation in the same PRP by the simultaneous use of the optical method and the electronic method, demonstrated that the maximum rate of impedance changes corre lated well with both the rate and the extent of platelet aggregation as measured by the optical method. The refore, the maximum rate of impedance increase was cho sen for the measurement of platelet aggregation in the presence of different concentrations of RBC. RBC, both at 40 and 60%, significantly inhibited platelet aggregation stimulated by low and high concentration of ADP and epinephrine. Platelet aggregation stimulated by co llagen was slightly reduced only by the higher RBC con centration. The effect of RBC on platelet aggregation was also investigated in idiopathic myelofibrosis, a pathological condition characterized by both platelet and RBC alterations. While on the basis of PRP studies 5 out of 17 patients had hypo-aggregation and 12 had normal aggregation, whole blood studies evidentiated hypo-aggregation in 3 patients, normal aggregation in 4 and spontaneous platelet aggregation (SPA) in 10. SPA was a consequence of platelet abnormality, since it occurred also when platelets from patients were sti rred with normal RBC.In conclusion, RBC may exert different effects on the aggregation of normal and pathological platelets.
