چکیده
By J. GUREVITCH AND D. NELKEN D URING PREVIOUS STUDIES on the ABO antigens of blood platelets’4 it was observed that storage of platelet suspemisions its normal saline resulted in a gradual decrease of their agglutinability by antisera, similar to the decrease of agglutinability of red blood cells stored in saline. This similarity in the behavior of erythrocytes and thrombocytes suggested the study of other aspects of the physiology of thrombocytes its comparison with erythrocytes. The present paper reports the behavior of thromsibocytes in hypotonic salitse.

Studies of Human HbAA Erythrocyte Osmotic Fragility Index of Non-Malarious Blood in the Presence of Five Anti-malarial Drugs
Background: The capacity of human HbAA erythrocytes of non-malarious blood to withstand osmotic stress in the presence of five antimalarial drugs, Chloroquine phosphate, Quinine, FansidarTM, CoartemTM and HalfanTM was studied in vitro. Materials and Methods: Aqueous solutions of four increasing concentrations of the drugs used in this investigation were in the order: 0.2%, 0.4%, 0.6% and 0.8% (...
متن کاملTwo Cases of Thrombohaemolytic Thrombocytopenic Purpura Associated with Changes in Red Cell Morphology.
Two adult cases of thrombohaemolytic thrombocytopenic purpura are described. Both showed striking morphological changes in the red cells with increased saline osmotic fragility, in addition to thrombocytopenia and generalized hyaline thrombi affecting small blood vessels. These changes support the hypothesis that this is a triple auto-immune disorder affecting red cells, platelets, and small bl...
متن کاملDetermination of hemolysis, osmotic fragility and fluorescence anisotropy on irradiated red blood cells as a function of kV of medical diagnostic X-rays
Background: People occasionally undergo medical diagnostic X-ray examinations and expose their red blood cells to radiation. Radiation that is generated from medical diagnostic X-ray machines is widely used in medical diagnoses. One of the important parameters is kilo-voltage (kV) that is applied across the X-ray tube in medical diagnostic X-ray machines. Kilo-voltage influences the radiation d...

The aim of our experiments was to characterise and to validate the osmotic fragility test when applied to human blood samples with no significant alterations of osmotic fragility but with a differentiating shape of the haemolysis curve. All experiments were carried out on human erythrocytes taken from the Regional Centre of Blood Donation and Blood Therapy in Wrocław. The washed erythrocytes we...

Vitamin A and other retinoids are known to have an effect on biological membranes. We measured the effects of retinol, retinoic acid and retinyl palmitate on in vitro osmotic fragility, spontaneous hemolysis and membrane microviscosity of human red blood cells (RBC)., Incorporation of retinol into the erythrocyte membrane was also studied. The effect of large doses of retinol on adenosine dinuc...
