Aim This study was aimed to explore the effects of carboxyhemoglobin on reperfusion injury in hemorrhagic shock, as well as its action time and related mechanisms. Results CO-RBC group showed milder oxidative injury than O2-RBC group. CO reperfusion did not show advantages in functions of kidney and lung during resuscitation. The level of Bax was decreased in CO-RBC group, especially in early...

Case description- a goat-kid with anorexia, weakness, depression, reluctant to move, poor condition, and generalized unthriftiness was admitted to the Veterinary Clinic of Shahid Bahonar University of Kerman. Clinical Findings- body temperature, heart and respiratory rates, hematologic indices including PCV, total and differential WBC and total RBC count were normal. In clinical examination, a...

haemoplasmas contain eperythrozoon and haemobartonella species, which are widespread causes of animal and human infections. these obligatory cell parasites were previously known as hemobartonella; now hemotropic mycoplasmas. these bacteria are identified by the lack of cell wall and their small genome. the usual diameter is between 0.3 and1μm. mycoplasmasarepolymorphic and seen in circular or b...

SCOPE We modeled red blood cell (RBC)-folate response to supplementation and developed personalized folate supplementation concepts. METHODS AND RESULTS The changes of RBC-folate were modeled in a time- (4 or 8 weeks) and dose- (400 or 800 μg d-1 folate) dependent manner. Post-supplementation RBC-folate levels were predicted from folate-loading capacities (= measured RBC-folate - [baseline RB...

The purpose of this study was to investigate red blood cell (RBC) behavior during an increase in local cerebral blood flow (LCBF). We measured changes in RBC behavior by using laser-Doppler flowmetry (LDF) in alpha-chloralose-anesthetized rats. An increase in LCBF was carried out by approximately 2.5 and 4.0% CO(2) inhalation and activation of the somatosensory cortex. The activation of the cor...

BACKGROUND Erythrocyte cholinesterase (RBC-ChE) activities serve as useful and sensitive biomarkers to monitor exposure to cholinesterase-inhibiting substances, such as chemical warfare nerve agents and pesticides. Although the interindividual variation of RBC-ChE is well characterized, the magnitude of intraindividual variation for RBC-ChE remains controversial. An accurate measure of intraind...

this study was conducted to evaluate the effect of prebiotic short saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast cell wall (ycw) on growth , nutrition and survival rates , blood indices of rainbow trout (oncorhynchus mykiss) were studied . 600 pieces of salmon with an average weight of (1 ± 20) g 4 treatments and 3 replications (each replication 50 pieces of fish) groups. treatments 1, 2, 3 and 4, respectivel...

BACKGROUND This study aimed at assessing the number of red blood cell (RBC) units transfused at different types of medical institution and examining the characteristics of transfusion recipients. METHODS We calculated and compared the number of transfusion recipients, total RBC units transfused, and RBC units transfused per recipient. Study data were extracted from insurance benefits reimburs...

The volume of red blood cells (V(RBC)) is used routinely in the diagnostic workup of polycythemia, in assessing the efficacy of erythropoietin administration, and to study factors affecting oxygen transport. However, errors of various methods of measurement of V(RBC) and related parameters are not well characterized. We meta-analyzed 346 estimates of error of measurement of V(RBC) for technique...

BACKGROUND The storage of red blood cells (RBC) is associated with impairment of their properties that can induce a circulatory risk to recipients. In a preceding study (2009), we reported that post-storage rejuvenation (RJ) of stored RBC (St-RBC) efficiently reduced the storage-induced RBC/endothelial cell interaction, while only partially reversing the level of intracellular Ca(2+), reactive ...
