چکیده

background: the aim of the present study was application of haemoglobin absorption spectroscopy as a distinguishing tool for identification of two haemoglobin types-hba and hbs. material and methods: millimolar absorptivities of normal adult haemoglobin (hba) and sickle cell haemoglobin (hbs) were monitored at ph values of 7.2 and 5.0, within the ultra violet and visible spectral range (250-650 nm) in the presence of varying concentrations of hydrogen peroxide (4.00-20.00 mm). results: the absorption spectra of hba and hbs exhibited the characteristic soret band with maximum absorptivities at wavelenght (λmax) = 415 nm. maximum absorptivities of hba and hbs treated with h2o2 showed hypochromic red shift of the soret band from (λmax) = 415 to 420 nm regardless of changes in ph values. in addition, increasing concentrations of h2o2 at the two ph conditions caused differential distortion and obliteration of the soret band. whereas ph = 7.2, [h2o2] > 14.28 mm caused obliteration of the soret band of hba, 20.00 mm h2o2 at lower ph = 5.0, obliterated the soret band. in contrast to the absorption spectra of hba, at experimental ph values of 5.0 and 7.2, maxima absorptivities of hbs were 1.8 and 2.3 mmol-1•cm-1 respectively. conclusion: the spectra patterns of hba and hbs treated with h2o2 were non-identical under the two experimental ph conditions. therefore, these spectra absorptivity patterns can serve for the identification of hba and hbs and to distinguish between the two haemoglobin types. keywords: haemoglobin, hydrogen peroxide, soret band, absorption spectra, sickle cell anemia.

Absorption Spectra of Normal Adults and Patients with Sickle Cell Anaemia Haemoglobins Treated with Hydrogen Peroxide at Two pH Values

Background: The aim of the present study was application of haemoglobin absorption spectroscopy as a distinguishing tool for identification of two haemoglobin types-HbA and HbS. Material and Methods: Millimolar absorptivities of normal adult haemoglobin (HbA) and sickle cell haemoglobin (HbS) were monitored at pH values of 7.2 and 5.0, within the ultra violet and visible spectral range (250-...

Anaesthesia in Patients with Sickle-cell Anaemia.

Sir,—We were very interested to read Dr. R. A. Browne's article on this subject (Brit. J. Anaesth. (1965), 37, 181) and feel that a case which we were requested to anaesthetize might be worthy of comment in this connection. The patient was a West Indian woman, age 27 years, gravida-4 with a long history of sickle-cell anaemia, for which she had received alkalis plus blood transfusions. She was ...

Cytotoxicity and DNA damage in the neutrophils of patients with sickle cell anaemia treated with hydroxyurea

Hydroxyurea (HU) is the most important advance in the treatment of sickle cell anaemia (SCA) for preventing complications and improving quality of life for patients. However, some aspects of treatment with HU remain unclear, including their effect on and potential toxicity to other blood cells such as neutrophils. This study used the measurement of Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) and Methyl Thiazol...

Cardiovascular features in adolescents and adults with sickle cell anaemia.

Fifty five sickle cell anaemia (SCA) patients at the Kenyatta National Hospital were studied with a view to elucidating their cardiovascular status. Their age range was 13 to 27 years (median 18.9 years). They comprised 27 males and 28 females and their mean haemoglobin concentration was 8.5 +/- 1.4 g/dl. Haemoglobin level of 8.0-9.9 g/dl seen in 30 patients was noted to confer the lowest incid...

Acid-base status of adults with sickle-cell anaemia.

Determinations of the acid-base status of 10 adult Jamaican patients with sickle-cell anaemia during "painful crisis" and after recovery showed no evidence of metabolic acidosis in the former, in contrast to reports from elsewhere. These results could explain the failure of alkalis to abort or alter the acute painful episodes of most patients with sickle-cell anaemia.
