Background: During pregnancy the women undergo several structural and physiological changes almost in all body systems including the hematological profile. The main reported hematological change is the plasma expansion and haemodilution which affect the red blood cells(RBCs) and white blood cells (WBCs) count in addition to other hematological indices including packed cell volume (PCV). The objective of this study was to assess the effect of pregnancy on packed cell volume and white blood cells among Sudanese pregnant women and derive a formula for the normal values in pregnant women in relation to the packed cell volume.Methods: An analytical case control study was conducted in Khartoum state, Sudan 2017. The study included20 Sudanese pregnant women in the second and third trimesters attending the antenatal care at The National Ribat university hospital and 20 Sudanese non-pregnant women in the same age group as control. A questionnaire was used to collect socio-demographic and clinical data.5ml of venous blood was collected in a container containing EDTA. Complete blood count (CBC) was measured by using automated cell counter Sysmex.Results: There was statistically significant decrease in PCV value during 2nd and 3rd trimesters of pregnancy compared to the non-pregnant control group with p values (0.00 and 0.04 respectively), and statistically significant increase in WBCs count during 2nd and 3rd trimesters of pregnancy compared to the non-pregnant control group with p values (0.04 and 0.00 respectively). Also, a progressive increase in WBCs count with gestational age was demonstrated (second trimester 6.65×103/uL, third trimester 7.43×103/uL). The results showed mean WBCs of 7.79×103/uL, when compared to the estimated values the results showed no significant difference with the mean WBCs in 2ndand 3rdtrimesters (p value 0.06 and 0.39 respectively).Conclusions: During pregnancy there was statistically significant decrease in PCV values, statistically significant increase in WBCs count and by considering the haemodilution factor there was a higher increase in WBCs count.

Abstract Context.—The new hematology analyzer Sysmex XE-2100 (TOA Medical Electronics, Kobe, Japan) has a novel, combined, white blood cell differential technology and a special reagent system to enumerate nucleated red blood cells. Design.—Performance evaluation of both technologies of the Sysmex XE-2100 according to the H20-A protocol of the National Committee for Clinical and Laboratory Standards and comparison of the results with those for the hematology analyzer Sysmex NE-8000 (TOA Medical Electronics). Specimens.—Five hundred forty-four blood samples randomly chosen from various inpatient and outpatient departments of the Vienna University hospital. Results.—Five-part white blood cell differential counts on the XE-2100 revealed excellent correlation with the manual reference method for neutrophils, lymphocytes, and eosinophils (r = .925, .922, and .877, respectively) and good correlation for monocytes and basophils (r = .756 and .763, respectively). The efficiency rates of flagging for the presence of ≥1% abnormal white blood cells were 83% (XE-2100) and 66% (NE-8000). The correlation of automated and microscopic nucleated red blood cell counts was excellent (r = .97). Conclusions.—From the present evaluation and our former experience with other types of Sysmex analyzers, we conclude that the new white blood cell differential technology of the XE-2100 represents a further development toward more efficient flagging of abnormal white blood cells.

Aim: The aim of this work was to carry out a screen for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) in nasal cavity of patients in the intensive care units of the University Hospital Center (UHC) and the Central Hospital of Yaounde (CHY) in Cameroon. Study Design: A cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out. Pace and Duration of the Study: Collection of nasal swab was done in Intensive Care Unit of University Teaching Hospital of Yaounde, and Intensive Care Unit of Central Hospital of Yaounde. Identification and susceptibility test were done in bacteriology laboratory of University Hospital Center, Yaounde between August 2018 and March 2019. Methods: Nasal swabs were collected from patients by performing rotation in each nose. The identification of bacteria was carried out by observation of mannitol fermentation on Chapman agar, catalase, coagulase and DNAse tests. The susceptibility test was carried out by the method of diffusion of the discs in Mueller-Hinton agar. Results: A total of 29 S. aureus were identified from 127 patients of which 44.10% were women  and 55.90% were men. The antibiotic resistance profile showed cross-resistance of S. aureus between cefoxitin and others antibiotics with high resistance of amoxicillin, Amoxi / Clavulanic, fusidic acid, gentamycin and tetracycline with rates ranging from 62% to 82%. We detected 58.62% resistant species to cefoxitin and 51.72% were resistant to vancomycin. Statistical analysis found that there was not association between age groups, gender with nasal carriage of S. aureus. However there was an association (P=0,0060) between the hospital attended and the portage of S. aureus. Conclusion: The prevalence of Methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) is quite high in intensive care patients. Staphylococcus aureus isolated from carriers also shows resistance to others antibiotics. This can increase the incidence of nosocomial infections. There is a need to implement effective control strategies to prevent infection cross transmission in intensive care Units.

Aim: The aim of the study was to investigate the immunomodulatory activity of areca nut extract. The phytochemical content and phenolic composition of the extract were also determined. Materials and Methods: An extract of areca nut was prepared using 96% ethanol and subsequently screened for phytochemical content using a high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method. The immunomodulatory activity of the extract was tested in 35 Sprague-Dawley rats, divided into four groups: One control group and three experimental groups in which the rats received 500, 1000, or 1500 mg/kg of oral areca nut extract biweekly (BW). The extract was orally administered 14 days before the intraperitoneal challenge with Staphylococcus aureus (1×108 CFU/mL). On the 14th day of the experiment, rats in all the four groups were sacrificed. Measurement of the levels of red blood cells, hematocrit (Hct), hemoglobin (Hb), white blood cells (WBCs), lymphocytes, monocytes, neutrophils, basophils, eosinophil, and macrophages were recorded. The activities of serum glutamate oxalate transaminase, serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase, urea, and creatinine were also determined. Results: Areca nut was found to contain an alkaloid, tannin, and flavonoid compounds. HPLC analysis revealed the presence of catechin as the major compound along with quercetin. Administration of areca nut extract in rats infected with S. aureus produced a significant increase in the concentration of WBC but did not affect Hct, Hb, and other cell types. Among the different doses tested, 1000 mg/kg BW was found to be most effective in cellular immunity models. No harmful effects on the liver and kidney functions were observed. Conclusion: The antioxidant activity of areca nut might be attributed to the presence of catechin and quercetin. Administration of areca nut extract increased the number of WBCs and improved the activity and capacity of macrophages significantly in rats infected with S. aureus.

Abstract Background: The present study investigated the relationship between maximum standardized uptake values (SUVmax) on Fluorine-18 Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) and the plasma cell (PC) proliferation percentage in the bone marrow (BM) of patients with multiple myeloma (MM).Material and methods: Patients clinically and pathologically diagnosed with MM between January 2012 and October 2019 were selected from the database of Dokkyo Medical University Hospital (DMU Hospital), Japan. Patients with other malignancies and those who received chemotherapy and radiation therapy or hematopoietic treatments in the previous 4 weeks and 2-3 months prior to PET/CT scans were excluded from the present study to avoid false uptake. We examined 60 patients (female: male; 27:33; 1:1.22) aged between 37 and 91 years; mean ± SD; 67.3 ± 10.2 years. Hematological and biochemical tests with results on hemoglobin (Hb), hematocrit (Ht), C reactive protein (CRP), beta-2 microglobulin (b2m), creatinine (Cre), albumin (Alb), calcium (Ca), white blood cells (WBC), and red blood cells (RBC) were recorded and evaluated. The percentage of PC in BM biopsy samples was calculated. On PET/CT images, the SUVmax of the region of interest (ROI) of the right anterior iliac crest, the biopsy site, was measured. Relationships were examined using Pearson’s correlation coefficient with SPSS.Results: The types of MM diagnosed were IgGk in 31 patients (51.6%), IgGλ in 19 (31.6%), IgAλ in 5 (8.3%), IgAk in 2 (3.3%), IgDλ in 2 (3.3%), and IgDk in 1 (1.6%). According to the Durie-Salmon staging system, 4 patients had stage I, 6 stage II, and 33 stage III, while stages were not recorded in the remaining 17 patients. A positive correlation was observed between FDG uptake and the percentage of PC (r=0.7, p<0.001), but not between FDG uptake and hematological and biochemical parameters in all patients. However, a correlation was observed between FDG uptake and b2m (r=0.596, p=0.004) in 21 patients (35%).Conclusion: Increased FDG uptake by BM correlated with the percentage of PC. PET/CT is crucial for the diagnosis, treatment evaluation, and follow-up of MM patients.
