SummaryThe present paper is part of a study on the evaluation of the active serotonin uptake and the response to hypotonic shock as in vitro viability tests for human blood platelets.The extraction and fluorometric assay of serotonin in plasma and in platelets were further automated by the introduction of a dialyzer in the earlier described system. Furthermore, the influences of some external factors on both tests were investigated.The serotonin uptake as well as the hypotonic shock response were pH dependent and especially the latter was rather sensitive to small pH changes. Changes in the Na+ : K+ ratio were also found to influence both criteria significantly.The serotonin uptake appeared to be linearly dependent on the platelet number while, within a range of 200 X 103 - 450 X 103 platelets per fxl, the slope of the hypotonic shock response was the same.

Objective: The purpose of this study is to assess the quality of platelet concentrates on storage days 1 and 5 prepared by platelet rich plasma-platelet concentrate (PRP-PC) and buffy coat poor-platelet concentrate (BC-PC) methods comparing to the American Association of Blood Banks (AABB) recommendations.Material and Method: Totally of 120 platelet concentrates (PC) units on storage days 1 and 5 (60 of PRP-PC triple blood bag and 60 of BC-PC quadruple AS-5 blood bag) were separated from whole blood donations at Songklanagarind Hospital. The prepared PC were assessed with 5 parameters such as volume, platelet count, white blood cell count per unit, pH, swirling phenomenon score and hypotonic shock response. The independent t-tests, paired Student’s t-tests and SPSS program were utilized in statistical analysis step.Results: The mean±standard deviation (S.D.) of each parameter were as follow : (1) Volume of PRP-PC and BC-PC met the standard (40-70 ml). (2) All of the platelet concentrates met the standard (≥ 5.5x1010/unit). The mean±S.D.: PRP-PC and BC-PC (day 1) were 6.820±1.480 x1010 and 7.010±1.300 x1010/unit (p-value=0.260), while PRP-PC and BC-PC (day 5) were 6.620±1.160x1010 and 6.720± 1.150x1010/unit (p-value=0.040). (3) The white blood cell in platelet concentrates met the standard (<0.2x1010/unit). The mean±S.D.: PRP-PC and BC-PC (day 1) were 0.030±0.017 x1010and 0.026±0.019x1010/unit (p-value=0.040), while PRP-PC and BC-PC (day 5) were0.033±0.013x1010 and 0.027±0.019x1010/unit (p-value= 0.580). (4) The pH of all units (PRP-PC and BC-PC) met the standard (≥6.2). The mean±S.D.: PRP-PC and BC-PC (day 1) were 7.430±0.330 and 7.750±0.160 (p-value=0.006), while PRP-PC and BC-PC (day 5) were 7.590±0.350 and 7.620±0.280 (p-value=0.710). The swirling phenomenon score and hypotonic shock response were the same as standard AABB and were not statistically difference.Conclusion: The quality of PRP-PC and BC-PC after storing on days 1 and 5 as follow (1) Volume of PRP-PC and BC-PC met the standard. (2) The platelet count per unit of PRP-PC and BC-PC (day 1), PRP-PC and BC-PC (day 5) were not statistically difference. (3) The white blood cell count per unit of PRP-PC and BC-PC (day 1) were statistically difference, while PRP-PC and BC-PC (day 5) were not statistically difference. (4) The pH of PRP-PC and BC-PC (day 1) were statistically difference, while PRP-PC and BC-PC (day 5) were not statistically difference. The swirling phenomenon score and hypotonic shock response of PRP-PC and BC-PC were not statistically difference. Platelet concentrates of both method storing on days 1 and 5 fulfilled the quality guideline of AABB.

SummaryThrombin-induced changes in cytosolic free Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) were studied in human platelets that had been stored for up to 6 days. Changes in [Ca2+]i were measured with Indo-1-loaded platelets and quantitated with two different methods: (i) measurement of the changes in total fluorescence; (ii) measurement of the [Ca2+]i changes in individual platelets in a flow cytometer, allowing the detection of non-responding platelets. The maximal concentration of [Ca2+]i after stimulation with 0.5 U of thrombin/ml decreased from 544 ± 58 nM (mean ± SEM, n = 6) on day 0, to 276 ± 9 nM on day 3 and to 203 ± 23 nM on day 6. The percentage of platelets responding to 0.5 U of thrombin/ml declined from 90 ± 2% on day 0 to 72 ± 4% on day 3, and to 47 ± 8% on day 6. Nevertheless, also the responding platelets showed a decreased rise in [Ca2+]i.The study shows that during platelet storage a decrease in the rise in [Ca2+]i upon thrombin stimulation occurs. This decrease is partly due to the formation of a subpopulation of platelets that is completely unresponsive and partly due to a decreased responsiveness in the remainder of the platelets; it is not due to a gradual decline in [Ca2+]i rise in all platelets. This phenomenon provides new insight in the functional defect of stored platelets.

SummaryStorage experiments were performed at 4°, 25° and 37° C with platelet-rich plasma under sterile conditions. In some experiments also the effect of storing platelets at 4° C in whole blood was investigated.Before, during and after three days of storage, the platelets were tested at 37° C for their serotonin uptake and response to hypotonic shock. In addition some glycolytic intermediates were determined.A fair correlation was noticed between the serotonin uptake and hypotonic shock experiments. Both parameters were best maintained at 25° C. Also platelet counting, performed after the storage period, indicated 25° C as the best storage temperature. Determination of glycolytic intermediates did not justify any conclusion regarding the optimal storage temperature. Of the various anticoagulants studied, ACD and heparin gave the best results as to the serotonin uptake and hypotonic shock response, either with fresh or stored platelets. The use of EDTA resulted in the lowest activity, especially after storage.The results of these storage experiments in vitro, correspond well with those in vivo reported in the literature.
