We present results for the leading hadronic contribution to the muon anomalous magnetic moment due to strange quark-connected vacuum polarisation effects. Simulations were performed using RBC–UKQCD’s Nf = 2 + 1 domain wall fermion ensembles with physical light sea quark masses at two lattice spacings. We consider a large number of analysis scenarios in order to obtain solid estimates for residu...

Erythrocytes (RBC) from untrained male Wistar rats and rat glomerular endothelial cells (EC) were used to investigate the effects of acute exercise (speed: 20 m/min, slope: 0, duration: 1 hour) on RBC membrane protein oxidation and adhesion to cultured EC. Experimental animals were divided into juvenile (age 10 weeks) and adult (age 30 weeks) groups for these studies. Immediately following exer...

The vasoocclusive process in patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) is complex and involves interactions among sickle erythrocytes (SS-RBC), vascular endothelium, and plasma and cellular components. The role of neutrophils (PMN) in vasoocclusion has not been examined. Patients with SCD appear to have chronically activated PMN. Because the first step in PMN activation is particle recognition, w...

Antistreptolysin O (ASO) titers were determined on 117 human sera with rabbit, human, and sheep red blood cells (RBC) as the indicator system in the ASO tube test. The titers of 65% of the sera were one dilution step higher when a 5% suspension of sheep RBC was used instead of a 5% suspension of rabbit RBC. Titers were one dilution step higher in 42.7% of the sera when a 5% suspension of human ...

Patients with Polythemia vera (PV) have a high incidence of thrombosis (25-75 %). Vascular complications are responsible of retinopathy, renal failure and coronary disease in diabetes mellitus (DM). Retinal Vascular Vein Occlusion (RVO) is a cause of blindness. To evaluate is red blood cell (RBC) abnormalities may be one vascular risk in these disease we studied RBC adhesion to endothelial cell...

Horse blood has a higher tendency to form red blood cell (RBC) aggregates compared with human blood, with this enhanced aggregation previously attributed to differences in plasma factors. Our results confirm this observation and further indicate that washed horse RBC also have a significantly higher aggregation tendency in dextran 70 solutions (i.e., horse RBC have a higher "aggregability"). In...

Aim This study was aimed to explore the effects of carboxyhemoglobin on reperfusion injury in hemorrhagic shock, as well as its action time and related mechanisms. Results CO-RBC group showed milder oxidative injury than O2-RBC group. CO reperfusion did not show advantages in functions of kidney and lung during resuscitation. The level of Bax was decreased in CO-RBC group, especially in early...
