Phosphate Partition in the Erythrocytes of Normal Newborn Infants and Infants with Erythroblastosis

چکیده
By T. J. GREENWALT AND V. E. AYERS T HE DISTRIBUTION of phosphate compounds in acid extracts of the erythrocytes of infants has heretofore been investigated only by fractional analysis for inorganic, total and hydrolyzable phosphates.1 In our previous work hydrolysis of trichloracetic acid extracts of cord blood erythrocytes was used to characterize the following fractions : ( 1 ) labile phosphates released by 7-minute hydrolysis mainly from ATP* ( easily hydrolyzable ) ; ( 2 ) phosphates released by extending the hydrolysis to 100 minutes, attributed to adenybic acid and hexose phosphates ( hydrolyzable with difficulty ) ; and (3) the resistant phosphates representing mainly 2,3-DPG ( nonhvdrolvzable phosphate ) #{149}: ,:i The intracellular inorganic phosphate in normal cord blood was found to be higher and the easily hydrolyzable phosphate lower than in the blood of adults. Tile changes which developed during storage of infant and adult bloods 111 acid-citrate-dextrose ( ACD ) solution at 4 C. appeared to differ significantly. The fresh blood from erythroblastotic infants contained more easily hydrolyzable phosphate than that of normal infants. With storage, the increase in inorganic phosphate and the decrease in both easily and difficult hydrolyzable phosphate was significantly greater for the infants with hemolytic disease. These preliminary observations served as a basis for further investigations using pa exchange and quantitative paper chromatography. The chromatographic data are presented in this paper. The p32 uptake and distribution studies will he reported in a subsequent communication.

Comparison of the Umbilical Cord Bacterial Colonization in Newborn Infants Rooming in with Mothers and Neonates Admitted to Neonatal Intensive Care Unit
Background Bacterial colonization during and shortly after birth are common in newborn infants. The aim of this study was to determine the umbilical cord bacterial colonization in newborn infants rooming in with mothers and neonates admitted to neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Materials and Methods In a cross-sectional study, 180 newborn infants were studied in three groups including: newbo...
متن کاملThe phosphate partition of the erythrocytes of normal newborn infants and of infants with hemolytic disease.
The mammalian erythrocyte depends on a complex glycolytic mechanism for most of its energy. It is believed that this mechanism controls the transfer of cations across the cell membrane, and serves to maintain the biconcave shape of the red blood cell. Adenosine triphosphate and 2,3-diphosphoglycerate participate in the energy exchanges involved in these processes (1-9). Alterations in the relat...
متن کاملFrequency of Profound Congenital Hearing Loss in Healthy Newborn Infants in Fars Province
Introduction Deafness is one of the most important sensory disturbances at birth. Hearing loss can affect the development of speaking and learning during life. Early diagnosis and intervention improve language outcome. The current study aimed to determine the frequency of profound congenital hearing loss in healthy newborn infants in Fars province. Methods In a multicenter prospective study, f...
متن کاملEndogenous production of carbon monoxide in normal and erythroblastotic newborn infants.
The endogenous production of carbon monoxide ( V(CO)) in newborn infants was measured by serial determinations of blood carboxyhemoglobin during rebreathing in a closed system. Mean V(CO) in nine full-term infants was 13.7 +/-3.6 mul CO/kg per hr (SD), and in four erythroblastotic infants V(CO) ranged from 37 to 154 mul CO/kg per hr preceding exchange transfusion. Mean red cell life-span (MLS) ...
