background: blood is permanently exposed to oxidation stress and therefore has a high antioxidants capacity. many different factors increasing the demand for the antioxidant capacity can be observed in the stored blood of donors. consequently, damage to erythrocytes by free radicals may occur. so it is useful to control the alternation of anti-oxidant enzymes in stored blood at different days o...

preparations of platelet concentrates (pcs) that are stored under blood bank conditions and used for transfusion purposes, appear to be enriched in platelet derived-microparticles (pmps) with high coagulant activity that may change platelet efficacy and safety issues. high shear stress could cause shedding of pmps from the platelet plasma membrane, platelet aggregation, and activation of the co...

abstract antioxidant capacity and quality of fruits usually changed during storage. in the current study, the changes of antioxidant capacity and postharvest quality of two blood (pigmented) orange cultivars (‘tarocco’ and ‘morro’) and ‘thompson navel’ orange, after 60 days storage at 7ºc and 90 rh% was investigated. during fruit storage weight loss, tss, ta, tss/ta, vitamin c, total phenol, an...

conclusions comparing the serum lactate level before operation and 24 hours after the operation showed that the number of received blood units had a significant effect on serum lactate. we found no significant effect for blood storage duration; however, the number of given blood units was more significant. patients and methods in a cross-sectional study, 228 patients referred to three hospitals...

abstract background assuring safety and survival of blood in vitro depends on anti-coagulation substances, blood bag characteristics, storage conditions, and transport of blood. besides, careful selection and screening of donors as well as blood tests can minimize the transmission risk of blood-transmissible pathogens and optimize blood health. the aim of this study was to assay the level of kn...
