Background: Many of the multiple traumatized patients who refer to the hospital need transfusion. Transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI) is a serious clinical syndrome associated with the transfusion of plasma-containing blood components. In the article, we present a case of TRALI following transfusion of packed red blood cells Case Presentation: A 24 year old male referred to Shahid Beh...

a series of sorbents containing various amounts of borate groups were prepared by chemical immobilization ofp-aminoethylphenylboric acid on a copolymer- treated organosilane spacer glass plates. it was found thatbaker's yeast cells selectively adhered to these supports. yeast cells stained with procion red he-3b formeddenser and more stable layer on the copolymer-grafted supports compared onto ...

Amyloidoma or amyloid tumor is a tumor-like localized deposit of amyloid encountered occasionally in association with multiple myeloma, various chronic inflammatory diseases and primary amyloidosis. Amyloid tumors unassociated with plasmacytoma or other disease are extremely rare in soft tissues and few cases in various situations have been reported. Histologic examination discloses amorp...

The generation of cultured red blood cells from stem cell sources may fill an unmet clinical need for transfusion-dependent patients, particularly in countries that lack a sufficient and safe blood supply. Cultured red blood cells were generated from human CD34+ cells from adult peripheral blood or cord blood by ex vivo expansion, and a comprehensive in vivo survival comparison with standard re...

Light is an effective factor in cell suspension culture and must be controlled for optimizing cell growth. Growth of anthocyanin producing suspension cells of a red-fleshed genotype of apple (RFA) was assessed in response to blue diode laser (BDL) and red He Ne (RHNL) laser. The suspension cells in L-shaped test tubes were exposed to short-term laser radiation for 20 min in a rotary shaker. The...

The effects of cell age on metabolism in the nucleated red blood cells of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) were examined. Red blood cells were separated according to age using fixed-angle centrifugation. The mean erythrocyte haemoglobin concentration in old red blood cells was found to be 120 % of that in young red blood cells. In young red blood cells, the activities of the mitochondrial en...

Transfusion of donor blood containing predominantly younger red cells with prolonged survival in vivo could significantly reduce the iron overload of patients requiring chronic transfusion. Age-dependent separation of red cells can be obtained by buoyant density centrifugation on isotonic solutions of arabino-galactane. By this technique, rabbit red cells were separated on a single layer of ara...
