Stability of hematological analytes during 48 hours storage at three temperatures using Cell-Dyn hematology analyzer

BackgroundThe complete blood count (CBC) with differential leukocyte count (DLC) is one of the most common tests requested by physicians. The results of this test are affected by storage temperature and time of incubation. This study was designed to evaluate the stability of hematologic parameters in blood specimens stored for 48 h at three temperatures.MethodsK2-EDTA - blood was collected from 22 healthy adults. The CBC was performed using a hematology analyser immediately; 0 time point and at 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, and 48 h after storage at 4 °C, 10 °C or 23 °C. Changes in values of CBC parameters from the 0 time point were determined and reported as % of the initial value.ResultsRed blood cells, platelet, hemoglobin, and mean corpuscular hemoglobin were found stable during 48 h storage at 4 °C, 10 °C or 23 °C. Hematocrite and mean corpuscular volume increased, while white blood cells decreased at 48 h when stored at 23 °C. Lymphocytes, neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils showed significant differences after 12 h of storage at 23 °C.ConclusionsRed blood cells, platelet, hemoglobin, and mean corpuscular hemoglobin are the only suitable parameters without refrigeration during 24 h storage. When CBC and DLC are performed, 4 °C can be recommended as the most suitable storage temperature for 12 h storage.     

Synthesis,Spectroscopic Analysis,and in Vitro/in Silico Biological Studies of Novel Piperidine Derivatives Heterocyclic Schiff-Mannich Base Compounds

In the present study, 3-substitued-4-(4-hydroxybenzylidenamino)-4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-ones ( S1-8 ) were synthesized by treating 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde ( B ) with eight different 3-substitued-4-amino-4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,4-triazole-5-ones ( T1-8 ) in acetic acid medium, separately. The synthesized Schiff bases ( S ) were reacted with formaldehyde and secondary amine such as 4-piperidinecarboxyamide to afford novel heterocyclic bases. 3-Substitued-4-(4-hydroxybenzylidenamino)-4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-ones ( T ) were treated with 4-piperidinecarboxyamide in the presence of formaldehyde to synthesize eight new 1-(4-piperidinecarboxyamide-1-yl - methyl)-3-substitued-4-(4-hydroxybenzylidenamino)-4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-ones ( M1-8 ). The structure characterization of compounds was carried out using ¹H-NMR, IR, HR-MS, and ¹³C-NMR spectroscopic methods. The inhibitory properties of the newly synthesized compounds were calculated against the acetylcholinesterase (AChE), butyrylcholinesterase (BChE), and glutathione S-transferase (GST) enzymes. Ki values were calculated in the range of 20.06±3.11–36.86±6.17 μM for GST, 17.87±2.91–30.53±4.25 μM for AChE, 9.08±0.69–20.02±2.88 μM for BChE, respectively, Besides, IC₅₀ values were also calculated. Best binding scores of -inhibitors against used enzymes were calculated as −12.095 kcal/mol, −12.775 kcal/mol, and −9.336 kcal/mol, respectively. While 5-oxo-triazole piperidine-4-carboxamide moieties have a critical role in the inhibition of AChE and GST enzymes, hydroxy benzyl moiety is important for BChE enzyme inhibition.
