Reduced expression of CD47 during murine red blood cell (RBC) senescence and its role in RBC clearance from the circulation.
BACKGROUND Almost 2 percent of murine blood red blood cells (RBCs) are destroyed each day and are replaced by fresh RBCs generated through the process of erythropoiesis. RBCs to be destroyed are phagocytosed by macrophages in the reticuloendothelial system, especially in the spleen. CD47 molecules on RBCs may regulate the susceptibility of RBC to destruction by phagocytosis because its recognit...
متن کاملPractice and costs of red blood cell (RBC) transfusion in an oncological unit.
BACKGROUND Cancer related anemia impairs patient functioning. Red blood cell (RBC) transfusion and erythropoietin (EPO) may relieve fatigue. Cost-effectiveness data have been requested. PATIENTS AND METHODS All transfusions administered at the Department of Oncology, University Hospital of North Norway (UNN) in 2005 were analysed, with a total of 118 patients entering the study. A cost of tra...
متن کاملDetection and characterization of red blood cell (RBC) aggregation with photoacoustics
Red blood cells (RBCs) aggregate in the presence of increased plasma fibrinogen and low shear forces during blood flow. RBC aggregation has been observed in deep vein thrombosis, sepsis and diabetes. We propose using photoacoustics (PA) as a non-invasive imaging modality to detect RBC aggregation. The theoretical and experimental feasibility of PA for detecting and characterizing aggregation wa...
متن کاملA Comprehensive Review of Our Current Understanding of Red Blood Cell (RBC) Glycoproteins
Human red blood cells (RBC), which are the cells most commonly used in the study of biological membranes, have some glycoproteins in their cell membrane. These membrane proteins are band 3 and glycophorins A-D, and some substoichiometric glycoproteins (e.g., CD44, CD47, Lu, Kell, Duffy). The oligosaccharide that band 3 contains has one N-linked oligosaccharide, and glycophorins possess mostly O...
متن کاملRed blood cell size differential method for time-series detailed monitoring of anemic disorders with RBC size abnormalities in mean corpuscular volume (MCV) and/or red blood cell distribution width (RDW)
Background: Size heterogeneity in red blood cells (RBCs), as indicated by elevated RBC distribution width (RDW), is increasingly considered a prognostic factor in various diseases. However, the semi-quantitative nature of the RDW value appears limited when evaluating quantitative changes in time-series RBC size distributions over a clinical course. Methods: We developed a time-series anemia mon...
