BACKGROUNDPatient blood management (PBM) programs are associated with improved patient outcomes, reduced transfusions and costs. In 2008, the Western Australia Department of Health initiated a comprehensive health‐system–wide PBM program. This study assesses program outcomes.STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS... hiện toàn bộ
Induction of lymphokine‐activated killer and natural killer cell activities from cryopreserved lymphocytesTransfusion - Tập 28 Số 6 - Trang 531-535 - 1988

Lymphokine‐activated killer (LAK) and natural killer (NK) cells were studied for their capacity to retain cytotoxicity after cryopreservation. LAK cells were generated by a 4‐day culture of lymphocytes with recombinant interleukin‐2 (rIL‐2). Cytotoxicity was measured by 51Cr‐release assay at effector:target ratios of 10:1 to 80:1. Cryopreserved LAK cells retained 58.8 ...... hiện toàn bộ
An update on red blood cell storage lesions, as gleaned through biochemistry and omics technologiesTransfusion - Tập 55 Số 1 - Trang 205-219 - 2015

Red blood cell (RBC) aging in the blood bank is characterized by the accumulation of a significant number of biochemical and morphologic alterations. Recent mass spectrometry and electron microscopy studies have provided novel insights into the molecular changes underpinning the accumulation of storage lesions to... hiện toàn bộ
Storage lesion: role of red blood cell breakdownTransfusion - Tập 51 Số 4 - Trang 844-851 - 2011

As stored blood ages intraerythrocytic energy sources are depleted resulting in reduced structural integrity of the membrane. Thus, stored red blood cells (RBCs) become less deformable and more fragile as they age. This fragility leads to release of cell‐free hemoglobin (Hb) and formation of microparticles, submicron Hb‐containing vesicles. Upon transfusion, it is likely that additional he...... hiện toàn bộ
Neutrophils release extracellular DNA traps during storage of red blood cell unitsTransfusion - Tập 53 Số 12 - Trang 3210-3216 - 2013

BackgroundBlood transfusion is associated with an increased risk of organ damage, infection, and alloimmunity. Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are extracellular chromatin fibers decorated with neutrophil granular proteins that have been linked to cytotoxicity, thrombosis, and autoimmunity...... hiện toàn bộ
Transfusion of 35‐day stored red blood cells does not result in increase of plasma non‐transferrin bound iron in human endotoxemiaTransfusion - Tập 57 Số 1 - Trang 53-59 - 2017

BACKGROUNDTransfusion of a single unit of stored red blood cells (RBCs) has been hypothesized to induce supra‐physiological levels of non‐transferrin bound iron (NTBI), which may enhance inflammation and act as a nutrient for bacteria. We investigated the relation between RBC storage time and iron levels in a clinically relevant “two‐hit” human transfusio...... hiện toàn bộ
White cell apoptosis in packed red cellsTransfusion - Tập 38 Số 11-12 - Trang 1082-1089 - 1998

BACKGROUND: After the removal of the buffy coat, packed red cell (RBC) transfusion units still contain white cells that may undergo apoptosis as a result of storage conditions (1‐6 degrees C). The aim of the present study was the evaluation of this phenomenon in view of the possible influence it may have on febrile nonhemolytic transfusion reactions.
