Aluminium Phosphide poisoning and glucose‐6‐phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency are two commonly seen clinical presentations in Iran. However, hemolysis associated with Aluminium Phosphide poisoning is very rare. We report a case of concurrent Aluminium Phosphide poisoning and glucose‐6‐phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency in a 24 year old man presenting with intravascular hemolysis. Key words...

background: it is not clear whether the use of volumetric peristaltic infusion pumps, affect the quality of the erythrocytes during packed cell transfusion or not. in the present study in vitro quality of red blood cells was assessed after using this type of infusion pumps in a prospective study. materials and methods: in this study 60 units of packed red cells were examined before and after pa...

The relations between lysin concentration, percentage hemolysis at the moment at which the lysin concentration is reduced by dilution, and the amount of hemolysis which follows the dilution as a result of the reaction being "progressive" point to there being an "internal" phase at the red cell surfaces, in which the lysin is less affected by the dilution than in the system as a whole. A second ...

In this work, we focused on the investigation of the influence of radiofrequency (RF) electromagnetic waves upon the red cells from animal blood, including the combined action of RF waves and magnetic fluid. The hemolysis phenomenon was investigated on the basis of light extinction at the wavelengths of 540 nm and 575 nm. In all exposed samples, the hemoglobin level is higher than in the contro...

background: glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (g6pd) deficiency is the most common enzyme disorder in human. the aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of g6pd deficiency among children and evaluate its association with abo/rh blood groups.   method: blood samples of 3401 asymptomatic children were analyzed and compared with 317 children who were admitted to hospital because of hemol...

background hemolyis of red blood cells is a serious toxic effect commonly found among patients envenomed by hemiscorpius lepturus scorpion. objectives the aim of the present study was to evlaute the efficay of the avaible polyvalent antivneom in preventing this phenomena. materials and methods using a red blood cell fragility test, the anti-hemolytic effectiveness of a new antivenom serum again...

       The oxidative hemolysis of rat erythrocytes induced by 2,2’-azobis–(2-amidinopropane) (AAPH) and its inhibition by rosemary essential oil was studied. Different concentrations (0.178, 0.357, 0.534 and 0.712 ml/ml) of the essential oil showed no significant hemolysis compared to phosphate buffer solution. AAPH (25 mM and 50 mM) induced hemolysis in a time-dependent manner. Diff e r e n t ...

Animal venoms are a mixture of peptides and proteins that serve two basic biological functions: predation and defense against both predators and microbes. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are a common component extensively present in various scorpion venoms (herein abbreviated as svAMPs). However, their roles in predation and defense against predators and potential as drugs are poorly understood. ...

Cold shock proteins (Csps) are multifunctional nucleic acid binding proteins used to regulate a wide range of gene expression responses in bacteria. We report here that Csps regulate the production of the pore-forming cytolysin listeriolysin (LLO) and hemolysis phenotypes in Listeria monocytogenes. A triple csp gene deletion mutant incapable of producing any Csps, as well as double csp gene del...

BACKGROUND The aim was to reveal the mechanism of hemolysis-induced acute pancreatitis and to evaluate the role of heme and heme oxygenase activity in inducing pancreatic inflammation in an experimental hemolysis model. MATERIAL/METHODS Hemolytic anemia was induced in rats by intraperitoneal injection of 60 mg/kg acetylphenylhydrazine (APH). To evaluate the toxic effect of free heme after hem...
