South East Asia faces severe shortage of safe blood

South East Asia is experiencing a severe shortage of safe blood. The region collects only 7 million units a year but needs a total of 15 million units. This problem is worsened by inappropriate use of blood without separation into its components, with 80-85% of blood being used as whole blood. In addition, the Supreme Court in India has banned the use of blood from professional blood sellers because they were considered to be a high-risk group of HIV. Unscreened blood is also allowed to flourish in both Bangladesh and Pakistan because these countries do not have any national blood policy. Moreover, even with blood screening in India, hepatitis B and C are present because the virus is not tested in this country. In the screened blood in India, the seroprevalence of hepatitis B is 0.06-8.5% and that of hepatitis C is 1.2-3%. While in Islamabad, Pakistan, testing results showed that 8.1% of blood was infected with hepatitis C. Lastly, 5-10% of HIV infections in Southeast Asia are transfusion-induced.     

Self-sufficiency,free trade and safety

The relationship between free trade, self-sufficiency and safety of blood and blood components has been a perennial discussion topic in the blood service community. Traditionally, national self-sufficiency has been perceived as the ultimate goal that would also maximize safety. However, very few countries are, or can be, truly self-sufficient when self-sufficiency is understood correctly to encompass the whole value chain from the blood donor to the finished product. This is most striking when plasma derived medicines are considered. Free trade of blood products, or competition, as such can have a negative or positive effect on blood safety. Further, free trade of equipment and reagents and several plasma medicines is actually necessary to meet the domestic demand for blood and blood derivatives in most countries. Opposing free trade due to dogmatic reasons is not in the best interest of any country and will be especially harmful for the developing world. Competition between blood services in the USA has been present for decades. The more than threefold differences in blood product prices between European blood services indicate that competition is long overdue in Europe, too. This competition should be welcomed but carefully and proactively regulated to avoid putting safe and secure blood supply at risk.     

Real-Time Electrical Impedimetric Monitoring of Blood Coagulation Process under Temperature and Hematocrit Variations Conducted in a Microfluidic Chip

Blood coagulation is an extremely complicated and dynamic physiological process. Monitoring of blood coagulation is essential to predict the risk of hemorrhage and thrombosis during cardiac surgical procedures. In this study, a high throughput microfluidic chip has been developed for the investigation of the blood coagulation process under temperature and hematocrit variations. Electrical impedance of the whole blood was continuously recorded by on-chip electrodes in contact with the blood sample during coagulation. Analysis of the impedance change of the blood was conducted to investigate the characteristics of blood coagulation process and the starting time of blood coagulation was defined. The study of blood coagulation time under temperature and hematocrit variations was shown a good agreement with results in the previous clinical reports. The electrical impedance measurement for the definition of blood coagulation process provides a fast and easy measurement technique. The microfluidic chip was shown to be a sensitive and promising device for monitoring blood coagulation process even in a variety of conditions. It is found valuable for the development of point-of-care coagulation testing devices that utilizes whole blood sample in microliter quantity.

Blood flow in the capillary bed

From arteries to veins, the blood has to go through the ‘capillary’ blood vessels. These blood vessels are so small that often their diameter is smaller than that of the red blood cells. Intimate interactions occur, therefore, between the blood cells and the blood vessels.

A general survey of recent works on capillary blood flow is given in this article. Some details are presented for two problems: the problem of deformation of the flexible red blood cells, their motion in the capillary blood vessels, and the pressure drop due to the red cell blood vessel interaction; and the problem of the flow of plasma ‘bolus’ between neighboring red cells.

The solution supplies many details about the microcirculation phenomenon. Taken together, a method is offered for the calculation of pressure drop in the capillary as a function of various physical parameters: the red cell volume per unit blood volume, (hematocrit), the ratio of the cell diameter to the blood vessel diameter, the ratio of the length of the blood vessel to its length, the volume of individual red cells, and a parameter relating the cell membrane elasticity, plasma viscosity and the cell velocity.     

Effect of nonaxisymmetric hematocrit distribution on non-Newtonian blood flow in small tubes

Hematocrit distribution and red blood cell aggregation are the major determinants of blood flow in narrow tubes at low flow rates. It has been observed experimentally that in microcirculation the hematocrit distribution is not uniform. This nonuniformity may result from plasma skimming and cell screening effects and also from red cell sedimentation. The goal of the present study is to understand the effect of nonaxisymmetric hematocrit distribution on the flow of human and cat blood in small blood vessels of the microcirculation. Blood vessels are modeled as circular cylindrical tubes. Human blood is described by Quemada's rheological model, in which local viscosity is a function of both the local hematocrit and a structural parameter that is related to the size of red blood cell aggregates. Cat blood is described by Casson's model. Eccentric hematocrit distribution is considered such that the axis of the cylindrical core region of red cell suspension is parallel to the axis of the blood vessel but not coincident. The problem is solved numerically by using finite element method. The calculations predict nonaxisymmetric distribution of velocity and shear stress in the blood vessel and the increase of apparent viscosity with increasing eccentricity of the core.     

Systems engineering analysis of aortic root blood pressure

This paper describes the aortic blood pressure as a function of aortic blood flow and the parameters of the blood and circulatory system. The method of performance involves the analogue of a multi-branched electrical to hydraulic transmission line applying graphical convolution to the blood flow-transform impedance relationship resulting in a theoretical pressure curve for the infinite aorta. The difference between the single pressure pulse and the computed adjusted infinite aorta pressure curve is described as the reflected wave. This reflected wave is then shown to be of reasonable configuration in time and velocity. The blood pressure is thus finally described completely by the physical parameters of the blood and the circulatory system and the blood flow.     

Ganglioside GD3 in the serum of tumor patients

Gangliosides of normal human blood serum and of blood serum of tumour hosts were studied. It has been shown the first time that ganglioside (NeuAc)2LacCer is present in the blood serum of different tumour hosts, but is absent in normal blood serum. The reasons for the appearance of this ganglioside in blood serum are discussed.     

Physiological aspects of multiple blood feeding in the malaria vector Anopheles tessellatus

The malaria vector Anopheles tessellatus is able to take several blood meals in a gonotrophic cycle. The fecundity is largely dependent on the first blood meal and is not generally increased by subsequent blood meals during a gonotrophic cycle. Larval rearing densities influenced adult body size. There is an inverse relationship between wing length and larval rearing densities. Smaller mosquitoes produced from larvae reared at higher densities had reduced body reserves of protein, lipid and carbohydrates. At emergence, ovarian development in An. tessellatus is in the previtellogenic stage and it remained at this stage until the intake of a blood meal. The number of ovarian follicles is related to wing length and, irrespective of adult body size, An. tessellatus developed oocytes to maturity with a single blood meal. This is attributed to the availability of metabolic reserves above the threshold level required for further development of oocytes. Mosquitoes that took more than one blood meal had largely digested their previous blood meal and had ongoing vitellogenesis. Blood meals subsequent to the first one apparently contribute mainly to increasing metabolic reserves. The stimulus for a second and third blood meal in An. tessellatus appears to be completion of the digestion of the previous blood meal. There was no evidence that multiple blood meals taken in the first gonotrophic cycle influenced fecundity significantly in the second cycle.     

Quantitative description of blood oxygenation process in oxygenator for extracorporal circulation

Based on conceptions and assumptions concerning the blood oxygenation process, some fundamental quantitative relations for red blood corpuscle oxygenation and blood oxygenation kinetics are presented. A distribution function is introduced expressing the probability density for the occurrence of a red blood cell with a specific oxygen content. By means of a kinetic equation deduced the distribution function is connected with spatial distribution of oxygen pressure and with blood flow rate. For the given initial conditions the kinetic equation is solved for a one-dimensional case, and this solution is applied to a generalized oxygenator in a stationary case. The generalized oxygenator presents a system of through-flow elements in which blood flows and contacts oxygen. Each of the through-flow elements is characterized by length, blood flow rate, probability of red blood corpuscle entry and by a quantity depending on oxygen pressure. Results obtained for the generalized oxygenator are then applied to a disc oxygenator with certain presumptions concerning blood oxygen saturation at the system's output expressed in dependence on geometry and performance conditions. Stress is laid upon the influence of blood flow in the oxygenator, on oxygenation; and two extreme cases are compared—series and parallel types of disc oxygenator.     

眼镜蛇入蛰前和出蛰后血液粘性的变化

利用血液流变学的理论和技术对入蛰前和出蛰后的眼镜蛇血液进行粘滞性、浓稠性及血细胞聚集性的比较分析,发现:(一)眼镜蛇的血液处于低粘滞性、低浓稠性及血细胞低聚集性的状态。(二)眼镜蛇出蛰后血液粘性比入蛰前非常显著增高,血液流速减慢,致使组织器官血液供应不足,影响了眼镜蛇出蛰后的活动,故其活动能力比入蛰前差。     

Factors Affecting Blood Pressure Variability: Lessons Learned from Two Systematic Reviews of Randomized Controlled Trials

Systematic reviews can often reveal much more than the original objective of the work. The objectives of this retrospective analysis were to answer three basic questions about blood pressure variability: 1) Does blood pressure entry criterion have an effect on baseline blood pressure variability? 2) Do thiazide diuretics have a significant effect on blood pressure variability? and 3) Does systolic blood pressure vary to the same degree as diastolic blood pressure? This analysis of blood pressure variability is based on resting standardized research setting BP readings from two systematic reviews evaluating blood pressure lowering efficacy of thiazide diuretics from double blind randomized controlled trials in 33,611 patients with primary hypertension. The standard deviation reported in trials was the focus of the research and the unit of analysis. When a threshold systolic or diastolic blood pressure value is used to determine entry into a trial, baseline variability is significantly decreased, systolic from 14.0 to 9.3 mmHg and diastolic from 8.4 to 5.3 mmHg. Thiazides do not change BP variability as the standard deviation and coefficient of variation of systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure did not differ between thiazide and placebo groups at end of treatment. The coefficient of variation of systolic blood pressure was significantly greater than the coefficient of variation of diastolic blood pressure. Entry criterion decreases the baseline blood pressure variability. Treatment with a thiazide diuretic does not affect blood pressure variability. Systolic blood pressure varies to a greater degree than diastolic blood pressure.

Thrombin activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor (TAFI) in cord blood

Thrombin activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor (TAFI) is a plasma zymogene (procarboxypeptidase B) which can decrease fibrinolysis and thus act as a haemostatic factor. TAFI is now extensively studied in many complications as well as in physiological and complicated pregnancy. The question we posed in the present study was whether TAFI antigen is present in cord blood plasma. The study group consisted of 38 parturient women, 26 primiparous and 12 multiparous with normal course of pregnancy and delivery. The cord blood was sampled from the cord vein, and the mother's blood from the antecubital vein. 3.2% sodium citrate was used as an anticoagulant. TAFIa/ai antigen was measured by ELISA method. TAFIa/ai antigen was identified in all samples of cord blood plasma. Its level was 91.50 ng/ml (range: 71.76 - 160.77 ng/ml) vs. 55.46 ng/ml (range: 39.77 - 68.54 ng/ml ) in the mother's blood, which means that the level of TAFIa/ai antigen was significantly higher in fetal blood than in maternal blood (p<0.00001). TAFIa/ai antigen is an integral component of cord blood plasma. The concentration of TAFIa/ai antigen is about two times higher in fetal blood than in maternal blood.

Blood group A glycosphingolipid accumulation in the hair of patients with alpha-N-acetylgalactosaminidase deficiency

In the hair of individuals with blood group AB, the level of blood group A glycosphingolipids is much lower than that of blood group B. We hypothesized that in hair, blood group A determinants are converted by alpha-N-acetylgalactosaminidase (alpha-NAGA, E.C.3.2.1.49) to H determinants. To address our hypothesis, the relative amount of ABH glycosphingolipids in hairs and nails of normal subjects, patients with Kanzaki disease, and heterozygous carriers of alpha-NAGA deficiency were analyzed by dot-blotting and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. In hair from normal subjects with blood group B, ABH glycosphingolipids consisted of 88% blood group B- and 12% blood group H glycosphingolipids. In blood group A subjects, 14% were group A- and 86% were group H glycosphingolipids. In Kanzaki patients, 81% were blood group A- and 19% were blood group H glycosphingolipids. In 2 alpha-NAGA deficiency carriers, the ABH glycosphingolipids consisted of 67% blood group A- and 33% blood group H glycosphingolipids. These results indicate that blood group A glycosphingolipids are catabolized to H glycosphingolipids by alpha-NAGA, resulting in lower levels of blood group A glycosphingolipids in the hair of normal subjects, and alpha-NAGA deficiency causes accumulation of blood group A glycosphingolipids in the hair of Kanzaki patients. This finding is of clinical relevance because it suggests that hair may be used to diagnose and assess the alpha-NAGA status of individuals.

PET脑血流量测量方法和临床应用进展

脑血流量测量对于脑血管疾病、脑肿瘤诊断和疗效评估具有重要的临床价值。PET是基于正电子示剂技术无创性、精确测量脑血流量的方法,正日益广泛地应用于临床。按照PET测量脑血流量的方法和使用的正电子示踪剂不同,其测量方法分为平衡法、放射自显影法和动力学方法三种。18O-H2O示踪剂PET测量脑血流量被认为测量脑血流方法的"金标准"。随着PET设备分辨率提高、新的图像重建方法使用和PET与MRI图像融合技术不断成熟,18F-FDG首次通过、采用图像衍生动脉输入函数(imagederived arterial input function,IDAIF)替代动脉抽血样精确测量脑血量方法受到广泛重视,有可能逐步取代高成本的18O-H2O测量脑血流量。PET无创、方便和精确测量脑血流量的方法在临床应使用有助于脑血管性疾病、脑肿瘤和脑退行性病变早期诊断、鉴别诊断和个性化医疗。本文介绍PET脑血流量测量原理、方法和临床应用进展。
