Mannan‐binding lectin and its role in innate immunity Tập 12 Số 6 - Trang 335-352 - 2002
David C. Kilpatrick
Summary Mannan‐binding lectin (MBL) is a plasma collectin (C‐type lectin with a
collagen‐like domain) and is considered an important component of innate
immunity. Circulating MBL is genetically determined for the major part, but
plasma concentration is also markedly influenced by nongenetic factors. The
carbohydrate‐binding ability of MBL can be inhibited by simple sugars like
mannose, fucose and ... hiện toàn bộ
Red blood cell storage and cell morphology Tập 22 Số 2 - Trang 90-96 - 2012
Barbara Blasi, Angelo D’Alessandro, N. Ramundo, Lello Zolla
Aim: In this study, we performed weekly assessment of morphology‐related
parameters through monitoring of CPD‐SAGM leuco‐filtered erythrocyte
concentrates from blood withdrawal until the 42nd day of storage.Background:
Liquid storage of red blood cells (RBCs) delivers a blood‐derived therapeutic,
which is safe, available, effective and affordable for most patients who need
transfusion therapy in d... hiện toàn bộ
DEHP‐plasticised PVC: relevance to blood services* Tập 21 Số 2 - Trang 73-83 - 2011
Joshua N. Sampson, Dirk de Korte
Phthalates are the most widely used plasticisers in the world and have been in
medical use since 1955. Di(2‐ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP) is present in many
industrial and domestic products, and is a common plasticiser used in blood bags
and tubing sets. Concerns have been raised by environmental groups that DEHP
exposure may result in gender birth defects and the feminisation of boys
although there... hiện toàn bộ
The effectiveness and safety of tranexamic acid in total hip or knee arthroplasty: a meta‐analysis of 2720 cases Tập 25 Số 3 - Trang 151-162 - 2015
Zhenhong Wei, M. Liu
SUMMARYAimsTo evaluate the safety and efficacy of tranexamic acid (TXA) in total
knee arthroplasty (TKA) and total hip arthroplasty (THA). The specific endpoints
assessed in this meta‐analysis include the total blood loss, the incidence rate
of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolisms (PE), the number of
patients requiring at least 1 U of red blood cell following
surgery.BackgroundThe pr... hiện toàn bộ
Human embryonic stem cells: origins, characteristics and potential for regenerative therapy Tập 18 Số 1 - Trang 1-12 - 2008
Joanne C. Mountford
summary Stem cells and their use in regenerative therapies are currently hot
topics in both biology and medicine. For transfusion scientists the concept of
cell therapy is not a new idea but rather a fundamental practice in this field.
Bone marrow transplantation was pioneered in the 1960s and relies on the
capacity of haemopoietic stem cells in the donated bone marrow to completely
reconstitute t... hiện toàn bộ

summary. The goal of this research was to study the safety and the efficacy of
transfusing citrate‐phosphate‐adenine anticoagulant‐preservative (CPDA‐1) RBC
stored for up to 28 days to reduce donor exposures in premature infants. A
prospective randomized two‐group study was conducted with very low‐birth‐weight
premature infants that received at least one RBC transfusion during hospital
stay. Neon... hiện toàn bộ
Diagnostic applications of microarrays Tập 16 Số 4 - Trang 233-247 - 2006
Juraj Petrík
summary Microarrays were designed to monitor the expression of many genes in
parallel, providing substantially more information than Northern blots or
reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction analysing one or few genes at a
time. The large sequencing projects provided the content for detailed expression
studies under a variety of stimuli and conditions. The human genome project
identified a... hiện toàn bộ
Transfusion‐transmitted CMV infection – current knowledge and future perspectives Tập 27 Số 4 - Trang 238-248 - 2017
Malte Ziemann, Thomas Thiele
SUMMARYTransmission of human cytomegalovirus (CMV) via transfusion (TT‐CMV) may
still occur and remains a challenge in the treatment of immunocompromised
CMV‐seronegative patients, e.g. after stem cell transplantation, and for low
birthweight infants. Measures to reduce the risk of TT‐CMV have been evaluated
in clinical studies, including leucocyte depletion of cellular blood products
and/or the s... hiện toàn bộ
