The regulation of iron supply to plasma was studied in male rate. Repeated exchange transfusions were first carried out with plasma from iron-deficient or iron-loaded animals. There was no recognizable effect on the amount of iron entering the plasma as evidenced by plasma iron concentration or iron absorption by recipient animals. In other studies, iron compounds having different tissue distri...

Exchange transfusion of blood (75-80% replacement of blood of recipient animals) was used to study the effect of blood-borne influences on nuclear labeling with thymidine-3H and on occur rence of mitosis in hepatocytes of rat liver. Intact or shamhepatectomized rats and partially hepatectomized rats were: (a) not transfused, (6) transfused with blood from rats with intact livers, or (c) transfu...

The effect of albumin priming on the plasma volume, intravascular bilirubin, and HBABAbinding capacity during the subsequent 2 to 4j hours before exchange transfusion was studied in 7 jaundiced neonates with no haemolytic disease. After priming with albumin at ...

one of the most fundamental components of healthcare system on each country is blood supply chain management. this chain is comprised of two significant components including collecting donor’ bloods and supplying blood’s products. the main purpose of this paper is to concentrate on supplying blood products and present a novel constrained bi-objective mathematical model for a two-echelon blood s...

Regular red blood cell transfusions reduce the rate of recurrent cerebral infarction in sickle cell disease but lead to accumulation of excessive iron. We studied the effect on the prevention of recurrent stroke and the volume of blood transfused of a modified transfusion program in which the pretransfusion percentage of hemoglobin S (HbS) was maintained at 50%, rather than the conventional 30%...

Isolation of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) provides an opportunity to study PMN activity in vitro and to label PMN for study of in vivo kinetics. However, simple phlebotomy (SP) of a small animal frequently yields too few PMN for in vitro handling, while PMN harvested from an induced-peritonitis may not accurately reflect PMN in a less stimulated state. We report a novel method of harvesti...
