An animal model with fluorosis was constructed, and the fluorescent probe technique of DPH was used to measue the erythrocytic membrane liquidity. At the same time, the contents of MDA and the activity of SOD in serum were measured. The results showed that the erythrocytic membrane liquidity in the control group and flurosis group were 5.6742 ± 0.4417 and 3.7248 ± 0.4521 (P 〈0.01) respectively, the contents of MDA in serum were 2.0408 ± 0.198 and 4.494± 0.438 (P 〈0.01) respectively, the activities of SOD were 175.638 ± 22.201 and 113.714 ± 34.258 (P 〈0.01) respectively. The correlation analysis indicated that the relation between the activity of SOD and the liquidity of erythrocytic membrane was positive correlation ( r= 0.7321, P 〈0.05), whereas the relation between the contents of MDA and the liquidity of erythrocytic membrane was negative correlation (r = -0.6438, P 〈0.01). The erythrocytic membrane liquidity decreased in milk goat with fluorosis, which played a role in the occurrence and development of the fluorosis. There was correlation among the erythrocytic membrane liquidity and the contents of MDA, the activity of SOD.展开更多

Clinical, biochemical and instrumental studies were used to verify the diagnosis. The control group was comprised of thirty-three males of comparable age and without confirmed signs of liver diseases and other pathology of inner organs. Dielectrophoresis was applied to evaluate the structural-and-functional erythrocytic parameters. The patients with NASH erythrocytes tended to differ in their much lower amplitude deformation, polarizability, capacity of erythrocytic membranes, pace of translational motion of cells towards electrodes and much higher levels of overall indices of rigidity, viscosity, electroconductivity, destruction and aggregation as compared to the control group (p < 0.001 - 0.05). We discovered cases of correlation of erythrocytic parameters with biochemical findings reflecting inflammatory and cytolytic syndrome, cholestasis, protein-synthesizing liver function as well as markers of metabolic syndrome (BMI, changes in arterial blood pressure, the degree of disturbances in carbohydrate metabolism, atherogenic dyslipidemia) and microalbuminuria. Aggravation of microcirculatory disturbances leading to an increase of fibrogenes is induced by changes in the properties of erythrocytes under NASH suggests the administration of a number of therapeutic techniques which could improve the status of the parameters of red blood cells. This study aims to evaluate the peculiarities of electric and viscoelastic behavior of erythrocytes in patients with primary NASH in order to determine additional methods of treatment for this disease.展开更多

The longer the course of disease, the more significant the changes, with no relation to the etiology of heart disease. The changes were partically improved after treatment of the heart failure. The content of electrolytes is not significantly different in patients in NYHA Class Ⅲ, compared to those in NYHA Class Ⅳ. The metabolic changes of electrolytes occur on the myocardial cells, skeletal muscle cells and peripheral erythrocytes in patients with congestive heart failure. However, serum electrolyte content does not reflect precisely overall electrolyte metabolism in the body. Whether similar, changes of electrolyte content occur in the peripheral lymphocytes is rarely reported. We studied the lymphocytic and erythrocytic electrolyte content in patients with congestive heart failure, to provide some reference in the clinical treatment and prognosis of congestive heart failure.展开更多

Viscosity of whole blood and clinical manifestations also improved obviously. The total effective rate in lowering plasma glucose was 77. 8 % with fasting blood glucose (FBG) and 69.4 % with 2 hours postprandial plasma blood glucose (2°PBG). In the control group, viscosity of whole blood andclinical manifestations had no significant improvement. Its total effective rate in lowering plasma glucose was41. 7% with FBG and 38. 9% with 2°PBG. Conclusions: XZT played a certain role in increasing activities ofNa+ -K + -ATPase and Ca2+-Mg2+ -ATPase, decreasing viscosity of whole blood and plasma glucose and improving clinical manifestations. Therefore, XZT was experimentally manifested as an effective drug in treating NIDDM patients with Qi-Yin deficiency, renal deficiency and blood stasis.展开更多

Methods: We enrolled 102 RA patients treated with Tofacitinib in combination with MTX from a multicenter, exploratory, short-term, prospective and observational ultrasound cohort study of patients who received biologic or targeted synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD) therapy. We evaluated the patients’ clinical disease activity and musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSUS) scores. The serum concentrations of two venous blood inflammatory indicators were evaluated (c-reactive protein [CRP], erythrocyte sedimentation rate [ESR]) by multiplex bead assays at baseline, 3, and 6?months: the change over 6?months was defined as the P value. Before MSUS score treatment, an associate chief physician tested the wrist joints of each patient at the first treatment, and the attending physician with 3 years of MSUS experience and 7 years of work experience also performed semi-quantitative scores on the same RA patients and tested the consistency of the results. Results: Tofacitinib in combination with MTX significantly improved the clinical disease activity and MSUS score over 6?months. Serum ESR and CRP were significantly elevated at 6?months after the Tofacitinib in combination with MTX introduction (P P P Conclusions: MSUS scores may be useful for predicting RA patients’ therapeutic responses to abatacept.展开更多

Previous human studies have also revealed the potential of PEMF to enhance muscle function and athletic performance. To further evaluate this potential, an open label pilot study was conducted with 19 competitive cyclists who repeatedly participated in 63 training routes. Cyclist performance was tracked before and during use of a novel and portable PEMF device that is worn as a wristband. Comparison of performance before and during use of the wristband revealed a significant association with improved muscle power. The odds ratio was 3.02 (P < 0.01) for experiencing increased muscle power while wearing the PEMF device. Among the cycling routes in which an increase was observed, the average increase in power was about 9.8%. The data suggests the novel PEMF technology may be a safe and effective therapeutic approach for improved physical performance and likely involves improved oxygen delivery due to reduced rouleaux (erythrocyte aggregation). These results warrant further investigation comprising larger studies and additional outcomes.展开更多

Sickle cell disease is a widespread genetic disease in Black Africa. The objective of this study was to evaluate the sickling inhibition activity of Griffonia simplicifolia. Quantitative and qualitative tests were used to determine the major groups of secondary metabolites present in the Griffonia simplicifolia leaves extracts and the modified Emmel test was used to perform the study of sickling inhibition activity. The OECD 423 toxicity study showed that at a single dose of 2000 mg/kg bw, Griffonia simplicifolia leaves extracts are not toxic. All tested substances inhibit erythrocyte falciformation in a dose-dependent manner. The percentages of inhibition were 50.35%, 73% and 94.23% for aqueous extract, hydromethanolic extract and phenylalanine respectively at the concentration of 15 mg/mL. The methanolic extract (70%) had higher activity compared to the aqueous extract. These results suggest that the Griffonia simplicifolia extracts have some potential to be used as alternative antisickling therapy in SCD management.展开更多

The anti-anoxic effects were observed by the ways of oxygen lack in normal atmosphere of mice, decapitation and erythrocyte count and hemoglobin in the mice. Experiments done in this study included observing the best dose and the best time of appearing anti-anoxic effects in mice. Results were found that the functional liquid could prolong not only the survival time and the brain survival time of the mouse, but also increasing the number of erythrocytes (RBC) and the content of hemoglobin (Hb); and the functional liquid has markedly protecting cardio-cerebral function; If the dosage of the functional liquid control on the 0.3ml/day for each mouse, the best effects should appear after four hour. And the functional liquid had no obvious effect on the weight of the mice within thirty days.展开更多

The currently available scientific evidence suggests that RDW assessment not only predicts the risk of adverse outcomes(cardiovascular and all-cause mortality, hospitalization for acute decompensation or worsened left ventricular function) in patients with acute and chronic heart failure(HF), but is also a significant and independent predictor of developing HF in patients free of this condition. Regarding the biological interplay between impaired hematopoiesis and cardiac dysfunction, many of the different conditions associated with increased heterogeneity of erythrocyte volume(i.e., ageing, inflammation, oxidative stress, nutritional deficiencies and impaired renal function), may be concomitantly present in patients with HF, whilst anisocytosis may also directly contribute to the development and worsening of HF. In conclusion, the longitudinal assessment of RDW changes over time may be considered an efficient measure to help predicting the risk of both development and progression of HF.展开更多

The tested chickens were negative to infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) at 25 d old. Group 1 was treated with saline, whereas Groups 2, 3, and 4 were inoculated with 0.3 mL IBDV suspension intranasally the next day. Groups 3 and 4 were also administered with Astragalus polysaccharides (APS) intramuscularly twice daily at 5 or 10 mg kg-1 BW, respectively, until 31 d old. The erythrocyte-C3b receptor rosette rate (E-C3bRR) and the erythrocyte-C3b immune complex rosette rate (E-ICRR) were measured at 25, 29, 32, 35, and 38 d old. The results showed that IBDV significantly reduced E-C3bRR and E-ICRR when compared with the control group (P 〈 0.05), while simultaneous administration of APS with 1BDV maintained E-C3bRR at similar levels to the control group (P 〉 0.05) and increased E-ICRR when compared with the control group and the group non-treated with APS (P 〈 0.05). APS treatment reduced the morbidity and mortality of chickens inoculated with IBDV (P 〈 0.05). The results suggest that APS may enhance the immune adherence of chickens erythrocytes by affecting the activity and/or the number of complement receptors on the erythrocyte membrane. These findings can be beneficial in providing an understanding of the basic mechanisms required for the rational application of APS in modern medicine.展开更多
文摘To research the relation among the erythrocytic membrane.liquidity and the contents of MDA, the activity of SOD in serum of the milk goat with fluorosis. An animal model with fluorosis was constructed, and the fluorescent probe technique of DPH was used to measue the erythrocytic membrane liquidity. At the same time, the contents of MDA and the activity of SOD in serum were measured. The results showed that the erythrocytic membrane liquidity in the control group and flurosis group were 5.6742 ± 0.4417 and 3.7248 ± 0.4521 (P 〈0.01) respectively, the contents of MDA in serum were 2.0408 ± 0.198 and 4.494± 0.438 (P 〈0.01) respectively, the activities of SOD were 175.638 ± 22.201 and 113.714 ± 34.258 (P 〈0.01) respectively. The correlation analysis indicated that the relation between the activity of SOD and the liquidity of erythrocytic membrane was positive correlation ( r= 0.7321, P 〈0.05), whereas the relation between the contents of MDA and the liquidity of erythrocytic membrane was negative correlation (r = -0.6438, P 〈0.01). The erythrocytic membrane liquidity decreased in milk goat with fluorosis, which played a role in the occurrence and development of the fluorosis. There was correlation among the erythrocytic membrane liquidity and the contents of MDA, the activity of SOD.
文摘Thirty-seven males with non-alcoholic staatohepatitis (NASH) (aged 39 - 62) were included in the study. Clinical, biochemical and instrumental studies were used to verify the diagnosis. The control group was comprised of thirty-three males of comparable age and without confirmed signs of liver diseases and other pathology of inner organs. Dielectrophoresis was applied to evaluate the structural-and-functional erythrocytic parameters. The patients with NASH erythrocytes tended to differ in their much lower amplitude deformation, polarizability, capacity of erythrocytic membranes, pace of translational motion of cells towards electrodes and much higher levels of overall indices of rigidity, viscosity, electroconductivity, destruction and aggregation as compared to the control group (p < 0.001 - 0.05). We discovered cases of correlation of erythrocytic parameters with biochemical findings reflecting inflammatory and cytolytic syndrome, cholestasis, protein-synthesizing liver function as well as markers of metabolic syndrome (BMI, changes in arterial blood pressure, the degree of disturbances in carbohydrate metabolism, atherogenic dyslipidemia) and microalbuminuria. Aggravation of microcirculatory disturbances leading to an increase of fibrogenes is induced by changes in the properties of erythrocytes under NASH suggests the administration of a number of therapeutic techniques which could improve the status of the parameters of red blood cells. This study aims to evaluate the peculiarities of electric and viscoelastic behavior of erythrocytes in patients with primary NASH in order to determine additional methods of treatment for this disease.

文摘BACKGROUND Colon cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors of the digestive system.Liver metastasis after colon cancer surgery is the primary cause of death in patients with colon cancer.AIM To construct a novel nomogram model including various factors to predict liver metastasis after colon cancer surgery.METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 242 patients with colon cancer who were admitted and underwent radical resection for colon cancer in Zhejiang Provincial People’s Hospital from December 2019 to December 2022.Patients were divided into liver metastasis and non-liver metastasis groups.Sex,age,and other general and clinicopathological data(preoperative blood routine and biochemical test indexes)were compared.The risk factors for liver metastasis were analyzed using singlefactor and multifactorial logistic regression.A predictive model was then constructed and evaluated for efficacy.RESULTS Systemic inflammatory index(SII),C-reactive protein/albumin ratio(CAR),red blood cell distribution width(RDW),alanine aminotransferase,preoperative carcinoembryonic antigen level,and lymphatic metastasis were different between groups(P<0.05).SII,CAR,and RDW were risk factors for liver metastasis after colon cancer surgery(P<0.05).The area under the curve was 0.93 for the column-line diagram prediction model constructed based on these risk factors to distinguish whether liver metastasis occurred postoperatively.The actual curve of the column-line diagram predicting the risk of postoperative liver metastasis was close to the ideal curve,with good agreement.The prediction model curves in the decision curve analysis showed higher net benefits for a larger threshold range than those in extreme cases,indicating that the model is safer.CONCLUSION Liver metastases after colorectal cancer surgery could be well predicted by a nomogram based on the SII,CAR,and RDW.
文摘The content of lymphocytic and erythrocytic K -, Na- , Ca++, Mg++ changed in patients with congestive heart failure, related to clinical treatment and prognosis. The longer the course of disease, the more significant the changes, with no relation to the etiology of heart disease. The changes were partically improved after treatment of the heart failure. The content of electrolytes is not significantly different in patients in NYHA Class Ⅲ, compared to those in NYHA Class Ⅳ. The metabolic changes of electrolytes occur on the myocardial cells, skeletal muscle cells and peripheral erythrocytes in patients with congestive heart failure. However, serum electrolyte content does not reflect precisely overall electrolyte metabolism in the body. Whether similar, changes of electrolyte content occur in the peripheral lymphocytes is rarely reported. We studied the lymphocytic and erythrocytic electrolyte content in patients with congestive heart failure, to provide some reference in the clinical treatment and prognosis of congestive heart failure.
文摘Objective: To assess the effects of Xianzhen tablet (XZT) on Na+-K+ -ATPase and Ca2+ Mg2+-ATPase on erythrocytic membranes, viscosity of whole blood, plasma glucose and clinical manifestations.Methods: Seventy-two cases of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) patients with deficiency of both Qi and Yin, deficiency of the Kidney and blood stasis were selected, and the effects of treatment on Na+ K + -ATPase, Ca2+-Mg2+ -ATPase, whole blood viscosity, blood sugar and clinical Symptoms were observed.Results: In XZT group (test group), activities of Na+ -K+ -ATPase and Ca2+ -Mg2+ -ATPase rose significantly(P< 0. 01, P< 0. 05) after treatment. Viscosity of whole blood and clinical manifestations also improved obviously. The total effective rate in lowering plasma glucose was 77. 8 % with fasting blood glucose (FBG) and 69.4 % with 2 hours postprandial plasma blood glucose (2°PBG). In the control group, viscosity of whole blood andclinical manifestations had no significant improvement. Its total effective rate in lowering plasma glucose was41. 7% with FBG and 38. 9% with 2°PBG. Conclusions: XZT played a certain role in increasing activities ofNa+ -K + -ATPase and Ca2+-Mg2+ -ATPase, decreasing viscosity of whole blood and plasma glucose and improving clinical manifestations. Therefore, XZT was experimentally manifested as an effective drug in treating NIDDM patients with Qi-Yin deficiency, renal deficiency and blood stasis.
文摘Objective:To investigate the clinical diagnostic significance of peripheral blood T-cell test(T-spot test)for tuberculosis(TB)infection combined with erythrocyte sedimentation rate(ESR)in pulmonary TB.Methods:41 patients with a clinical diagnosis of TB during hospitalization from January 2020 to April 2023 in our hospital were selected as the experimental group,and 45 patients without TB(bronchopneumonia patients)were selected as the control group.The diagnostic specificity,sensitivity,and accuracy of the T-spot TB test,ESR test,and the combined test of the two were calculated respectively.Results:The sensitivity,specificity,and accuracy of the T-spot TB test combined with ESR for the diagnosis of TB in the experimental group were significantly higher than the individual results of the T-spot TB test and ESR test alone(P<0.05).Conclusion:The T-spot TB test combined with the ESR test for TB diagnosis has greater clinical value than carrying out the tests individually.

文摘Background:Erythrocytes are a major source of peripheralα-synuclein(α-Syn).The goal of the current investigation is to evaluate erythrocytic total,oligomeric/aggregated,and phosphorylatedα-Syn species as biomarkers of Parkinson’s disease(PD).PD and healthy control blood samples were collected along with extensive clinical history to determine whether total,phosphorylated,or aggregatedα-Syn derived from erythrocytes(the major source of bloodα-Syn)are more promising and consistent biomarkers for PD than are freeα-Syn species in serum or plasma.Methods:Using newly developed electrochemiluminescence assays,concentrations of erythrocytic total,aggregated and phosphorylated at Ser129(pS129)α-Syn,separated into membrane and cytosolic components,were measured in 225 PD patients and 133 healthy controls and analyzed with extensive clinical measures.Results:The total and aggregatedα-Syn levels were significantly higher in the membrane fraction of PD patients compared to healthy controls,but without alterations in the cytosolic component.The pS129 level was remarkably higher in PD subjects than in controls in the cytosolic fraction,and to a lesser extent,higher in the membrane fraction.Combining age,erythrocytic membrane aggregatedα-Syn,and cytosolic pS129 levels,a model generated by using logistic regression analysis was able to discriminate patients with PD from neurologically normal controls,with a sensitivity and a specificity of 72 and 68%,respectively.Conclusions:These results suggest that total,aggregated and phosphorylatedα-Syn levels are altered in PD erythrocytes and peripheral erythrocyticα-Syn is a potential PD biomarker that needs further validation.

文摘BACKGROUND Hypertension is a common chronic disease that affects many people worldwide.Only a few reports related to the exploration of relevant indicators of the prethrombotic state in patients with primary hypertension(PH)in clinical settings were available.AIM To detect prethrombotic state-related indicators in patients with PH and analyze their differences in different patient populations to provide a laboratory basis for the clinical prevention and control of hypertensive thrombotic diseases.METHODS The general data of patients with PH who attended the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine,The First Affiliated Hospital of Jiangxi Medical College,from January 2022 to December 2022 were collected retrospectively.The patients were divided into three groups of 40 patients each according to the Grade of PH:Grade 1,Grade 2,and Grade 3 hypertension experimental group.The baseline data of 40 volunteers,who underwent physical examination in our hospital but were not diagnosed with PH during the same period,were included in the control group.The relevant indicators of prethrombotic state of the participants were compared,and mainly included inflammation-related indicators,hemorheology-related indicators,and coagulation function related indicators.The relationship between the aforementioned indicators and the progression of PH was analyzed.RESULTS No significant differences were observed in age,sex,diabetes mellitus,smoking history,drinking history,body mass index,New York Heart Association functional classification,or the course of hypertension among the four groups(P>0.05).The expressions of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein(hs-CRP),thrombomodulin(TM),hematocrit(Hct),erythrocyte sedimentation rate(ESR),P-selectin on platelet surface(CD62P),and fibrinogen(FIB)in the control group were<Grade 1 hypertension group<Grade 2 hypertension group<Grade 3 hypertension group,and the expressions of platelet(PLT),activated partial thromboplastin time(APTT),prothrombin(PT),and plasma thrombin time(TT)in the control group was>Grade 1 hypertension group>Grade 2 hypertension group>Grade 3 hypertension group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The results of the multivariate logistic regression model showed that the expression of hs-CRP,TM,Hct,ESR,CD62P,PLT,APTT,PT,TT,and FIB in the included participants was related to the progression of PH.Among these,high expression of hs-CRP,TM,Hct,ESR,CD62P,APTT,PT,and TT,and low expression of PLT and FIB were risk factors for PH(OR>1,P<0.05).The results of the receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed that the area under the curve of hs-CRP,TM,ESR,CD62P,APTT,PT,TT,and FIB for the prediction of PH were>0.80,and the prediction value was ideal.Linear correlation analysis with bivariate Spearman showed that hs-CRP,TM,Hct,ESR,CD62P,APTT,PT,and TT were positively correlated with each other(r>0,P<0.05);PLT and FIB were negatively correlated with hs-CRP,TM,Hct,ESR,CD62P,APTT,PT,and TT(r<0,P<0.05);and PLT and FIB were positively correlated(r>0,P<0.05).Linear correlation analysis using bivariate Spearman showed that hs-CRP,TM,Hct,ESR,CD62P,and FIB were positively correlated with each other(r>0,P<0.05),whereas PLT,APTT,PT,and TT were negatively correlated with hs-CRP,TM,Hct,ESR,CD62P,and FIB(r<0,P<0.05).There was a positive correlation between PLT,APTT,PT,and TT(r>0,P<0.05).CONCLUSION The relevant indicators of the prethrombotic state in patients with PH,such as hs-CRP,TM,Hct,ESR,CD62P,PLT,APTT,PT,TT,and FIB,showed differences.High expression of hs-CRP,TM,Hct,ESR,CD62P,and FIB,and low expression of PLT,APTT,PT,and TT are the keys to the occurrence,progression,and thrombotic state of PH.Based on the above serum indicators’expression in patients,targeted interventions can be administered to patients with abnormal expression levels to control the progression of their disease and reduce the risk of developing a prethrombotic state.
文摘Background: To evaluate the effect of treatment on musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSUS) and explore whether MSUS are associated with therapeutic response in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients treated with Tofacitinib in combination with methotrexate (MTX). Methods: We enrolled 102 RA patients treated with Tofacitinib in combination with MTX from a multicenter, exploratory, short-term, prospective and observational ultrasound cohort study of patients who received biologic or targeted synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD) therapy. We evaluated the patients’ clinical disease activity and musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSUS) scores. The serum concentrations of two venous blood inflammatory indicators were evaluated (c-reactive protein [CRP], erythrocyte sedimentation rate [ESR]) by multiplex bead assays at baseline, 3, and 6?months: the change over 6?months was defined as the P value. Before MSUS score treatment, an associate chief physician tested the wrist joints of each patient at the first treatment, and the attending physician with 3 years of MSUS experience and 7 years of work experience also performed semi-quantitative scores on the same RA patients and tested the consistency of the results. Results: Tofacitinib in combination with MTX significantly improved the clinical disease activity and MSUS score over 6?months. Serum ESR and CRP were significantly elevated at 6?months after the Tofacitinib in combination with MTX introduction (P P P Conclusions: MSUS scores may be useful for predicting RA patients’ therapeutic responses to abatacept.
文摘The interaction of pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF) with the human body may result in a variety of positive outcomes including analgesia, enhanced healing, chondroprotection, cognitive improvement and better quality of life. Previous human studies have also revealed the potential of PEMF to enhance muscle function and athletic performance. To further evaluate this potential, an open label pilot study was conducted with 19 competitive cyclists who repeatedly participated in 63 training routes. Cyclist performance was tracked before and during use of a novel and portable PEMF device that is worn as a wristband. Comparison of performance before and during use of the wristband revealed a significant association with improved muscle power. The odds ratio was 3.02 (P < 0.01) for experiencing increased muscle power while wearing the PEMF device. Among the cycling routes in which an increase was observed, the average increase in power was about 9.8%. The data suggests the novel PEMF technology may be a safe and effective therapeutic approach for improved physical performance and likely involves improved oxygen delivery due to reduced rouleaux (erythrocyte aggregation). These results warrant further investigation comprising larger studies and additional outcomes.

文摘BACKGROUND Numerous reports have demonstrated that the pathophysiology of graft-versushost disease(GVHD)during hematopoietic stem cell transplantation(HSCT)is closely related to vascular endothelial disorders and coagulation abnormalities.We previously presented the discovery of a principle and the development of a novel instrument for measuring whole blood coagulation.This was achieved by assessing the variations in the dielectric properties of whole blood.AIM To investigate how GVHD affects the changes of dielectric properties of whole blood in patients with HSCT.METHODS We examined the changes of dielectric properties of whole blood and erythrocyte proteins by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis sequentially in patients with HSCT and compared it with clinical symptoms and inflammatory parameters of GVHD.RESULTS During severe GVHD,the dielectric relaxation strength markedly increased and expression of band3 decreased.The dielectric relaxation strength normalized with the improvement of GVHD.In vitro analysis confirmed that the increase of relaxation strength was associated with severe erythrocyte aggregates,but not with decreased expression of band3.CONCLUSION Severe erythrocyte aggregates observed in GVHD may cause coagulation abnormalities and circulatory failure,which,together with the irreversible erythrocyte dysfunction we recently reported,could lead to organ failure.
文摘Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a genetic blood disorder that affects the shape and transportation of red blood cells (RBCs) in blood vessels, leading to various clinical complications. Sickle cell disease is a widespread genetic disease in Black Africa. The objective of this study was to evaluate the sickling inhibition activity of Griffonia simplicifolia. Quantitative and qualitative tests were used to determine the major groups of secondary metabolites present in the Griffonia simplicifolia leaves extracts and the modified Emmel test was used to perform the study of sickling inhibition activity. The OECD 423 toxicity study showed that at a single dose of 2000 mg/kg bw, Griffonia simplicifolia leaves extracts are not toxic. All tested substances inhibit erythrocyte falciformation in a dose-dependent manner. The percentages of inhibition were 50.35%, 73% and 94.23% for aqueous extract, hydromethanolic extract and phenylalanine respectively at the concentration of 15 mg/mL. The methanolic extract (70%) had higher activity compared to the aqueous extract. These results suggest that the Griffonia simplicifolia extracts have some potential to be used as alternative antisickling therapy in SCD management.
文摘As early as in1968, Chien POinted out that there is 100% erythrocyte packin8 for the normal erythrocyte suspension after 5 min centrifu8ation at 15000 X 8, b1lt only 60% for hardened erythrth cyte suspension by fixahon with glutaradehyde. hater on, Judkiewicz PerfOrmed more detailed exPeri- ment. He found that erythrocyte pocking difference (EPD), EPD = Hals - Hk, Can be used as a methed mearuring erythrocyte deformabihly and as an ordinary expetimental method. Here, Ha1, is apparent hematocrit after 15 min centrifugation at 200X g and Hk iq final hematocrit after 5 min cen- trifugntion at l5000 X8. A survey of a POpulation of 489 healthy donors showed a significant sex dif- ference in EPD which amounted to l0% f29% for males and 8. 5% l2. 5% for females. A de- creased EPD was found in diabetes. Observation for the samples of various fibrinogen level confirmed that erythrocyte aggregation has no effect on EPD. Two decades has been pnd since the methods was first presented. OwinS to the lack of suitab1e equipment the way could not be applied. Now, bAsin8 on 3P-- 2 hi8h SPed micro-- centrifuge, we have developed a kind of more advanced way which can exacUy conttol and .1umerically indicate cen- trifugnl force (20X g -- 15000 X 8). The centriruge offers convenience for POpularizaing the method. We believe th8t this method, which has the advantuge of simple and easy operation, low cost and less bIwt for use, will show itS greater clInical significance.
文摘A kind of functional liquid was extracted from compound Chinese traditional medicine over 20 different varieties such as ginseng, danggui and so on. The anti-anoxic effects were observed by the ways of oxygen lack in normal atmosphere of mice, decapitation and erythrocyte count and hemoglobin in the mice. Experiments done in this study included observing the best dose and the best time of appearing anti-anoxic effects in mice. Results were found that the functional liquid could prolong not only the survival time and the brain survival time of the mouse, but also increasing the number of erythrocytes (RBC) and the content of hemoglobin (Hb); and the functional liquid has markedly protecting cardio-cerebral function; If the dosage of the functional liquid control on the 0.3ml/day for each mouse, the best effects should appear after four hour. And the functional liquid had no obvious effect on the weight of the mice within thirty days.
文摘The red blood cell distribution width(RDW) is a simple, rapid, inexpensive and straightforward hematological parameter, reflecting the degree of anisocytosis in vivo. The currently available scientific evidence suggests that RDW assessment not only predicts the risk of adverse outcomes(cardiovascular and all-cause mortality, hospitalization for acute decompensation or worsened left ventricular function) in patients with acute and chronic heart failure(HF), but is also a significant and independent predictor of developing HF in patients free of this condition. Regarding the biological interplay between impaired hematopoiesis and cardiac dysfunction, many of the different conditions associated with increased heterogeneity of erythrocyte volume(i.e., ageing, inflammation, oxidative stress, nutritional deficiencies and impaired renal function), may be concomitantly present in patients with HF, whilst anisocytosis may also directly contribute to the development and worsening of HF. In conclusion, the longitudinal assessment of RDW changes over time may be considered an efficient measure to help predicting the risk of both development and progression of HF.
文摘Two hundred and forty specific pathogen free leghorn chickens were randomly divided into four groups and reared in isolated pens. The tested chickens were negative to infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) at 25 d old. Group 1 was treated with saline, whereas Groups 2, 3, and 4 were inoculated with 0.3 mL IBDV suspension intranasally the next day. Groups 3 and 4 were also administered with Astragalus polysaccharides (APS) intramuscularly twice daily at 5 or 10 mg kg-1 BW, respectively, until 31 d old. The erythrocyte-C3b receptor rosette rate (E-C3bRR) and the erythrocyte-C3b immune complex rosette rate (E-ICRR) were measured at 25, 29, 32, 35, and 38 d old. The results showed that IBDV significantly reduced E-C3bRR and E-ICRR when compared with the control group (P 〈 0.05), while simultaneous administration of APS with 1BDV maintained E-C3bRR at similar levels to the control group (P 〉 0.05) and increased E-ICRR when compared with the control group and the group non-treated with APS (P 〈 0.05). APS treatment reduced the morbidity and mortality of chickens inoculated with IBDV (P 〈 0.05). The results suggest that APS may enhance the immune adherence of chickens erythrocytes by affecting the activity and/or the number of complement receptors on the erythrocyte membrane. These findings can be beneficial in providing an understanding of the basic mechanisms required for the rational application of APS in modern medicine.
