Background. The use of plasma frozen within 24 hrs is likely to increase. Whole blood (WB) and buffy coats (BCs) can be held for a few hrs or overnight before processing. Methods. Twenty-four bags of WB for plasma and 12 bags for platelet (PLT) concentrates were collected. The fresh frozen plasma (FFP) was prepared within 6 hrs. I-FP24 and II-FP24 samples were prepared either from leukodepleted WB that was held overnight or from WB that was held overnight before leukodepletion. The PLT concentrates (PCs) were prepared from BCs within 6 hrs (PC1) and within 18 to 24 hrs (PC2). The typical coagulation factors and some biochemical parameters were determined. Results. Compared to the FFP samples, the levels of FVII and FVIII in the I-FP24 and II-FP24 samples decreased significantly. The pH, Na+, LDH, and FHb levels differed significantly between II-FP24 and FFP. Compared to PC1, PC2 exhibited lower pH, pO2, and Na+ levels, a higher PLT count, and increased pCO2, K+, Lac, and CD62P expression levels. Conclusion. FP24 is best prepared from WB that was stored overnight at 4°C and then leukodepleted and separated within 24 hrs. PCs are best produced from BCs derived from WB that was held overnight at room temperature.

Summary1. PTC activity was assayed in 26 units of human plasma prepared from whole blood stored for 3 weeks at 4° C. The plasma had been frozen and stored at — 20° C for additional periods ranging from a few days to 4 months. High PTC activity was still present in the plasma at the end of this period, the activity averaging 95% of normal.2. The PTC activity of 19 samples of “reclaimed“ plasma stored for an additional 6 months at — 20° C decreased by an average of 23%. This decrease was statistically significant.3. Liquid plasma kept at room temperature for 5½—7½ months contained no PTC activity.4. Lyophilized plasma stored at room temperature for 6—8 years contained an average of 30% PTC activity. Lyophilized plasma stored at — 20° C for 4 years contained 68% PTC activity.5. ACD and disodium hydrogen citrate anticoagulant solutions served equally well in preserving PTC activity in whole blood stored in glass tubes over a period of 3 weeks at 4° C.6. “Reclaimed“ plasma from outdated bank blood provided effective hemostasis in two operations for the removal of 20 teeth from a severely PTC-deficient patient.7. The high PTC activity of “reclaimed“ plasma was confirmed by the close agreement between the PTC level expected in a PTC deficient patient after transfusion of such plasma and that observed.

Abstract We studied the stability of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) in plasma and whole blood kept at room temperature and on ice for 1 to 24 h. At room temperature, there was a steady loss of 94% of the parent drug over 24 h in whole blood and 52% in plasma. In the presence of an excess of uracil, 5-FU was stable for 24 h, suggesting that the loss of 5-FU is the result of enzymatic degradation. 5-FU is more stable in whole blood and plasma when samples are kept cold. For blood and plasma samples maintained on ice, the loss was only 30% and 10% of the parent drug in the respective samples over 24 h. Frozen plasma samples (-20 degrees C) were stable for five weeks. Blood specimens collected for quantifying 5-FU should be immediately placed on ice, and the plasma should be separated and frozen as promptly as possible.

Abstract Background Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) is associated with T- and NK-cell lymphoproliferative disorders (EBV T/NK-LPD). For diagnosis of EBV T/NK-LPD, quantification of EBV DNA loads in peripheral blood by real-time PCR has been widely used. However, optimal blood components and cut-off values for diagnosis were not fully evaluated. Methods Fifty-nine patients with EBV T/NK-LPD including chronic active EBV infection (CAEBV), severe mosquito bite allergy, hydroa vacciniforme-like lymphoproliferative disorder (HV), and EBV- hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (EBV-HLH) were enrolled. EBV DNA loads were compared among disease categories in each blood component from the same whole blood sample. The association between EBV DNA loads and disease activity were evaluated in CAEBV patients. Furthermore, the diagnostic cut-off value for EBV DNA loads in whole blood from CAEBV patients as compared with infectious mononucleosis patients was determined. Results EBV DNA loads in whole blood and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were not significantly different among disease categories, whereas EBV DNA loads in plasma were significantly higher in EBV- HLH patients than in HV patients. EBV DNA loads in whole blood and PBMCs showed strong correlation (Figure 1). EBV DNA loads in plasma were significantly higher in CAEBV patients with active disease than in those with inactive disease (median: 104.5 IU/mL vs. 100.8 IU/mL, P < 0.001) (Figure 2). Diagnostic cut-off values for whole blood EBV DNA loads of CAEBV patients as compared with those of infectious mononucleosis was 104.2 ( = 15,800) IU/mL (Figure 3). Conclusion Measuring EBV DNA loads in whole blood can be considered as initial evaluation for diagnosis of EBV T/NK-LPD. EBV DNA loads in plasma are more closely related to disease activity of CAEBV than EBV DNA loads in whole blood and PBMCs. Disclosures All authors: No reported disclosures.
