The Osmotic Behavior of Crenated Red Cells
The anomalously small swelling which the red cells of human oxalated blood undergo in hypotonic plasma is related to the extent to which the cells are crenated. Reasons are given for regarding crenation as corresponding to gelation, and the bulk modulus for crenated cells, calculated from the measurements of swelling in hypotonic plasma, is shown to be of the same order as that for gelatin gels.
متن کاملOsmotic water permeability of human red cells
The osmotic water permeability of human red cells has been reexamined with a stopped-flow device and a new perturbation technique. Small osmotic gradients are used to minimize the systematic error caused by nonlinearities in the relationship between cell volume and light scattering. Corrections are then made for residual systematic error. Our results show that the hydraulic conductivity, Lp, is...
متن کاملOsmotic hemolysis of chemically modified red blood cells.
T HE MECHANISM of osmotic hemolysis of red cells has been a subject for discussion for many years. Much of the discussion has centered on the question of whether hemoglobin diffuses out of the cell by way of a single large break in the membrane, or by way of many small openings. Kochen5 using light microscopy and a dye which formed a precipitate with hemoglobin, observed what appeared to be a s...
متن کاملIII RESULTS OF TESTS FOR HAEMOLYSIS AND FOR OSMOTIC FRAGILITY OF RED BLOOD CELLS Osmotic Fragility
SYNOPSIS Nineteen patients with morphological abnormalities of the red blood cells are described, and these formed approximately 3 % of the total cases of cardiac valvular disease. In two patients the abnormal blood film developed after the insertion of an aortic and mitral valve prosthesis respectively, but in another two patients the abnormal blood film was corrected by aortic valve surgery. ...
متن کاملIndividual Osmotic Fragility Distribution: A New Parameter for Determination of the Osmotic Properties of Human Red Blood Cells
The aim of our experiments was to characterise and to validate the osmotic fragility test when applied to human blood samples with no significant alterations of osmotic fragility but with a differentiating shape of the haemolysis curve. All experiments were carried out on human erythrocytes taken from the Regional Centre of Blood Donation and Blood Therapy in Wrocław. The washed erythrocytes we...
