Abstract
BACKGROUND Although gamma-irradiation to platelet products is a standard method to prevent the risk of TA-GVHD in vulnerable recipients, it induces some proteomic and redox changes, of which irradiation-induced ROS increments may potentiate platelet mitochondrial dysfunction. However, whether these changes cause platelet apoptosis, or affect their viability during storage, is the main subject of this study. METHODS PLT-rich plasma PC was split into two bags, one kept as control while other was subjected to gamma-irradiation. Within 7-days storage, cytosolic and mitochondrial levels of cytochrome c and pro-apoptotic molecules of Bak and Bax were evaluated by western-blotting. Intraplatelet active caspase (using FAM-DEVD-FMK) and PS-exposure were detected by flowcytometry. Caspase activity in platelet lysate was also confirmed by immunofluorescence detection of Caspase-3/7 Substrate N-Ac-DEVD-N'-MC-R110 while platelet viability was evaluated with MTT assays. RESULTS Cytosolic cytochrome c gradually increased while its mitochondrial content steadily declined during 7 days of storage. In a contrary trend, reverse patterns were observed for Bak and Bax expressions. Gamma-irradiated platelets showed higher release of mitochondrial cytochrome c that reflected by higher cytosolic cytochrome c levels on day 7 of storage. Concurrently mitochondrial pro-apoptotic Bak and Bax proteins increased on day 7 in irradiated products. However, gamma-irradiation didn't significantly increase caspase activity or PS-exposure, nor did it decrease platelet viability. CONCLUSION Here, consistent with studies on "gamma-irradiation-induced oxidative stress", we showed that gamma-ray also increases platelet pro-apoptotic signals during storage, although not strongly enough to affect platelet viability by overt apoptosis induction. Conclusively, whether supplementing ROS scavengers or antioxidants to irradiated platelets can improve their quality during storage may be of interest for future research.

Abstract
Irradiation of platelet products is generally used to prevent transfusion-associated graft-versus-host disease (TA-GvHD) as well as transfusion-transmitted infections. As an essential prerequisite, gamma-irradiation of blood products prior to transfusion is required in patients who may develop TA-GVHD. Most studies suggest that gamma irradiation has no significant effect on the quality of platelet products; however, more recent studies have shown that the oxidative effects of gamma irradiation can lead to the induction of platelet storage lesion (PSL) and to some extent reduce the efficiency of transfused platelets. As the second widely used irradiation technique, UV-illumination was primarily introduced to reduce the growth of infectious agents during platelet storage, with the advantage that this method can also prevent TA-GvHD. However, the induction of oxidative conditions and platelet pre-activation that lead to PSL is more pronounced after UV-based methods of pathogen reduction. Since these lesions are large enough to clearly affect the post-transfusion platelet recovery and survival, more studies are needed to improve the safety and effectiveness of pathogen reduction technologies (PRTs). Therefore, pointing to other benefits of PRTs, such as preventing TA-GvHD or prolonging the shelf life of products by eliminating the possibility of pathogen growth during storage, does not yet seem to justify their widespread use due to above-mentioned effects. Even for gamma-irradiated platelets, some researchers have suggested that due to decreased 1-hour post-transfusion increments and increased risk of platelet refractoriness, their use should be limited to the patients who may develop TA-GVHD. It is noteworthy that due to the effect of X-rays in preventing TA-GvHD, some recent studies are underway to examine its effects on the quality and effectiveness of platelet products and determine whether X-rays can be used as a more appropriate and cost-effective alternative to gamma radiation. The review presented here provides a detailed description about irradiation-based technologies for platelet products, including their applications, mechanistic features, advantages, and disadvantages.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Therapeutic phlebotomy is the standard treatment of hereditary hemochromatosis (HH), the most common genetic disease in people of Northern European descent. Red cell concentrates from HH donors have been reported safe for transfusion, but little data is available on the storage properties of platelet concentrates from HH donors. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS Whole blood was collected from 10 healthy individuals and 10 newly diagnosed HH patients with elevated serum ferritin. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) was prepared and split into four 20-mL units. Platelet quality tests were performed on days 0, 1, 3, 5, and 7 of storage, including platelet aggregation (ADP, arachidonic acid, collagen, and epinephrine agonists), blood gas analysis, flow cytometry (CD41, CD42b, and CD62P expression), and ELISA (sCD40L and sCD62p in supernatant). RESULTS Mean serum ferritin levels were higher in HH patients than in controls (847.5 vs 45.8 ng/mL, P < .001). Overall, no difference in quality test results was observed between the two study groups over 7-day storage (P > .05), including blood gas analysis, platelet aggregation, and expression of surface (CD62p and CD42b) and secreted (sCD62P and sCD40L) activation markers. Expected alterations in metabolic (CO2 and glucose decrease, O2 and lactate increase, P < .001) and platelet activation markers (CD42b decrease, CD62P increase, P < .05) over time were observed in both groups. CONCLUSION Although these findings indicate that platelets of individuals with HH are comparable to platelets from healthy donors, more extensive studies are needed before definite conclusions can be drawn.

Abstract
Platelet storage and its availability for transfusion are limited to 5-6 days. Oxidative stress (OS) is one of the causes for reduced efficacy and shelf-life of platelets. The studies on platelet storage have focused on improving the storage conditions by altering platelet storage solutions, temperature, and materials. Nevertheless, the role of OS on platelet survival during storage is still unclear. Hence, this study was conducted to investigate the influence of storage on platelets. Platelets were stored for 12 days at 22°C. OS markers such as aggregation, superoxides, reactive oxygen species, glucose, pH, lipid peroxidation, protein oxidation, and antioxidant enzymes were assessed. OS increased during storage as indicated by increments in aggregation, superoxides, pH, conjugate dienes, and superoxide dismutase and decrements in glucose and catalase. Thus, platelets could endure OS till 6 days during storage, due to the antioxidant defense system. An evident increase in OS was observed from day 8 of storage, which can diminish the platelet efficacy. The present study provides an insight into the gradual changes occurring during platelet storage. This lays the foundation towards new possibilities of employing various antioxidants as additives in storage solutions.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The determination of quality parameters is a necessity for monitoring the efficacy of platelet concentrates. During consolidated quality control studies, there may be a large number of samples to be analyzed at the same time. This common workflow setup triggered the question whether there is an influence of the number of samples to be analyzed on the accuracy of the test results. METHODS Two different sample volumes of platelet concentrates, 1 ml and 50 ml, were analyzed for a set of standard in vitro parameters including pCO(2), pO(2), pH, glucose, and lactate as well as platelet activation via CD62P expression and responsiveness to adinosine diphosphate in an extent-of-shape-change assay. To assess apoptotic mechanisms triggered by the hold time, changes in the phosphatidylserine exposure were monitored. RESULTS In total, eleven time points were assessed over a 3-h period as well as an overnight point for assay evaluation. Except for pCO(2) and pO(2), all in vitro parameters analyzed were unaffected by a sample hold time of up to 3-h. CONCLUSION Sampling for pO(2) determination should be carried out in small volumes and assessed within 30 min of collection to obtain reliable and comparable results.

Abstract
For platelets to maintain their in vitro quality and in vivo effectiveness, they need to be stored at room temperature with gentle agitation in gas-permeable containers. The mode of agitation affects the quality of the platelets, and a gentle method of agitation, either a circular or a flat bed movement, provides the best results. Tumblers or elliptical agitators induce platelet activation and subsequent damage. As long as the platelets remain in suspension, the agitation speed is not important. Agitation of the platelet concentrates ensures that the platelets are continuously oxygenated, that sufficient oxygen can enter the storage container and that excess carbon dioxide can be expelled. During transportation of platelet concentrates, nowadays over long distances where they are held without controlled agitation, platelets may tolerate a certain period without agitation. However, evidence is accumulating that during the time without agitation, local hypoxia surrounding the platelets may induce irreversible harm to the platelets. Over the decades, more gas-permeable plastics have been used to manufacture platelet containers. The use of different plastics and their influence on the platelet quality both in vitro and in vivo is discussed. The improved gas-permeability has allowed the extension of platelet storage from 3 days in the early 1980s, to currently at least 7 days. In the light of new developments, particularly the introduction of pathogen reduction techniques, the use of platelet additive solutions and the availability of improved automated separators, further (renewed) research in this area is warranted.

Abstract
The continuous increase in the demand for platelet transfusion has necessitated the need to establish standards for determining the quality of platelets during storage. Bacterial contamination of platelet products and deleterious changes in structure and function referred to as the platelet storage lesion (PSL), have restricted the platelet shelf life to 5 days. The PSL and platelet health variables have been well studied and documented. The precise correlation between in vitro assays and in vivo platelet recovery and survival is yet to be established. This review presents an overview of the current understanding of PSL and the novel approaches being developed to negate the storage lesion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Buffy-coat processing allows for the use of platelet additive solutions (PASs). PASs reduce plasma-associated transfusion reactions and conserve plasma for transfusion or fractionation. Platelet (PLT) storage in plasma was compared to storage in three commercially available PASs compared to assess their influence on in vitro laboratory variables. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS Platelet concentrates (PCs) were prepared from leukoreduced pools of four buffy coats (BCPs) suspended in autologous plasma or one of PASs (Composol, Fresenius-Kabi; T-Sol, Baxter Corp.; or SSP+, MacoPharma). On Days 1, 2, 3, 5, and 7 of storage, samples were tested for PLT concentration, mean PLT volume (MPV), CD62P, morphology, pO2, pCO2, glucose, lactate and total protein concentration, pH, extent of shape change (ESC), and hypotonic shock response (HSR). Data were analyzed by analysis of variance (ANOVA) with repeated measures and t tests. RESULTS PLT recoveries from BCPs were higher (p < 0.05) with plasma than any PAS. Storage medium and duration did not affect PLT concentration or MPV over time. CD62P expression and morphology were significantly different among PCs pooled with different media. ANOVA showed (p < 0.05) differences among the rates of change of pCO2, pH, glucose consumption, lactate production, and ESC; PASs such as Composol and SSP+ offered excellent maintenance of pH and low rates of glucose consumption. PAS performed poorly in ESC and HSR compared to plasma. Correlation studies reveal far more significant correlations between variables of PLTs in PAS than in plasma. CONCLUSION Newer PASs, for example, SSP+ and Composol, can maintain PLT integrity and moderate metabolism similarly to plasma but offer consistently lower PLT recoveries and limited osmotic balance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The aim of the study was to compare the in vitro quality of buffy coat-derived platelet concentrates (PC) during extended storage in plasma or additive solution in three different storage bags. MATERIALS AND METHODS A pooled and split design was chosen so that identical PCs were produced in either 100% plasma, 70% PASII : 30% plasma or 70% CompoSol : 30% plasma (n = 6 each). This was repeated for three different manufacturers' platelet storage bags (Fresenius, Baxter and Pall). PCs were sampled on days 1, 5, 7 and 9 of storage and tested in vitro using a variety of tests of platelet function. For each bag type, storage in PASII or Composol was compared with plasma (data taken across the entire storage period), and differences occurring with time were analysed for all storage media. RESULTS The pH of all PCs was > 6.8 at day 9 of storage. In vitro platelet function, as assessed by markers of platelet activation and metabolism, of PCs stored in CompoSol appeared to be similar to that of PCs stored in plasma over 9 days of storage. In contrast, PCs stored in PASII tended to have significantly higher levels of platelet activation (almost a twofold increase in % platelets positive for CD62P by day 5) and lower hypotonic shock response (approximately 40%, by day 7) compared to either PCs stored in 100% plasma or 70% CompoSol. The magnitude of the differences observed between platelet storage media appeared to be dependent on the type of platelet storage bag with the highest degree of platelet activation and lowest hypotonic shock response values being observed in Fresenius bags in combination with PASII. CONCLUSIONS The maintenance of platelet function in vitro during extended storage of PCs in platelet additive solutions is dependent on the combination of type of additive solution and type of platelet storage bag. For all bag types studied, storage in PASII resulted in poorer platelet function in vitro.

Abstract
Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is dependent on materials foreign to the patient for its successful application. When blood comes into contact with these so-called biomaterials, an inappropriate inflammatory response, which can be life-threatening in some patients, may develop. The reason for this inappropriate activation of host defence mechanisms is not entirely clear, however a number of strategies have evolved over the years to minimize this unwanted sequelae of CPB. These strategies include surface coating of the materials of the circuit, using new materials thought to improve biocompatibility, and using a number of pharmacological interventions designed to suppress the inflammatory response. Recently, there has been some evidence which indicates that the plasticizer employed in the polyvinyl chloride (PVC) tubing of the CPB circuit may play a part in the development of the inflammatory response. The work described in this paper tends to support this thesis. These studies showed that by washing the plasticizer from the surface of the PVC tubing, the biocompatibility, as reflected in the upregulation of CD11b on the surface of neutrophils, was enhanced. Furthermore, the use of non-plasticized substitutes for PVC had a similar effect. The benefit from removing the plasticizer was similar to that gained from surface coating with heparin, one of the conventional approaches to reducing the inflammatory response to CPB.
