Quantitative photoacoustic assessment of red blood cell aggregation under pulsatile blood flow: experimental and theoretical approaches
In the present paper, the optical wavelength dependence on the photoacoustic (PA) assessment of the pulsatile blood flow was investigated by means of the experimental and theoretical approaches analyzing PA radiofrequency spectral parameters such as the spectral slope (SS) and mid-band fit (MBF). For the experimental approach, the pulsatile flow of human whole blood at 60 bpm was imaged using t...
متن کاملHuman red blood cell behavior under homogeneous extensional flow in a hyperbolic-shaped microchannel.
It is well known that certain pathological conditions result in a decrease of red blood cells (RBCs) deformability and subsequently can significantly alter the blood flow in microcirculation, which may block capillaries and cause ischemia in the tissues. Microfluidic systems able to obtain reliable quantitative measurements of RBC deformability hold the key to understand and diagnose RBC relate...
متن کاملHydroxyurea affects cell morphology, cation transport, and red blood cell adhesion in cultured vascular endothelial cells.
Hydroxyurea (HU) significantly increases fetal hemoglobin (Hb) production and concomitantly affects passive erythrocyte K transport and cell volume in patients homozygous for Hb S, thus decreasing disease severity. Red blood cells (RBCs) with Hb S display a greater adherence to vascular endothelial cells (VECs) than do Hb A cells, thus increasing the probability of vaso-occlusive crisis. The ef...
متن کاملIron alters red blood cell morphology.
Under physiologic conditions a small percentage ( 3%) of red blood cells (RBCs) are irreversibly trapped within the fibrin clot mesh. By contrast, in prothrombotic states such as diabetes mellitus, significantly more RBCs are tightly bound to fibrin fibers. Such interactions affect clot properties, making it more resistant to fibrinolytic degradation. This phenomenon may explain thrombolytic re...
متن کاملRed blood cell motions in high-hematocrit blood flowing through a stenosed microchannel.
We investigated the behavior of red blood cells (RBCs) in a microchannel with stenosis using a confocal micro-PTV system. Individual trajectories of RBCs in a concentrated suspension of up to 20% hematocrit (Hct) were measured successfully. Results indicated that the trajectories of healthy RBCs became asymmetric before and after the stenosis, while the trajectories of tracer particles in pure ...
