[PMID: 35969253 PMCID: PMC9636120 DOI: 10.1007/s00101-022-01189-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/26/2021] [Revised: 07/03/2022] [Accepted: 07/12/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The transfusion of packed red blood cells (PRBC) is associated with various side effects, including storage damage to PRBCs. The cells change their structure, releasing potassium as well as lactate. Mechanical rinsing, available in many hospitals, is able to remove toxic substances and possibly minimizes the negative side effects of transfusion. OBJECTIVE The primary aim of our study was to improve the quality of PRBCs before transfusion. The effects of different washing solutions on PRBC quality were analyzed. MATERIAL AND METHODS This in vitro study compares 30 mechanically washed PRBCs. They were either processed with standard normal saline 0.9% (n = 15, N group) or a hemofiltration solution containing 4 mmol/l potassium (n = 15, HF group) by a mechanical rinsing device (Xtra, LivaNova, Munich, Germany). A subgroup analysis was performed based on the storage duration of the processed PRBCs (7, 14, 37 days). Samples were taken before washing (EKprä), immediately after washing (EKpost) and 10 h later (EKpost10h), after storage in the "wash medium" at room temperature. Concentrations of ATP (probability of survival in transfused erythrocytes), lactate, citrate and electrolytes (potassium, sodium, chloride, calcium) were tested. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION Mechanical rinsing improves pretransfusion quality of PRBC. Washing with a hemofiltration solution results in a more physiological electrolyte composition. Even 10 h after mechanical rinsing with a hemofiltration solution, the quality of 37-day-old PRBC is comparable to young PRBC that have been stored for 7 days and have not been washed. Washing stored PRBC increases the ATP content, which subsequently leads to an increased probability of survival of red cells after transfusion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pathogen inactivation (PI) technologies for platelet concentrates and plasma are steadily becoming more established, but new PI treatment options for red blood cells (RBCs), the most commonly used blood component, still need to be developed. We present a novel approach to inactivating pathogens in RBC units employing ultraviolet C (UVC) light. METHODS Whole blood-derived leukoreduced RBCs suspended in PAGGS-C, a third generation additive solution, served as test samples, and RBCs in PAGGS-C or SAG-M as controls. Vigorous agitation and hematocrit reduction by diluting the RBCs with additional additive solution during illumination ensured that UVC light penetrated and inactivated the nine bacteria and eight virus species tested. Bacterial and viral infectivity assays and in vitro analyses were performed to evaluate the system's PI capacity and to measure the RBC quality, metabolic, functional, and blood group serological parameters of UVC-treated versus untreated RBCs during 36-day storage. RESULTS UVC treatment of RBCs in the PAGGS-C additive solution did not alter RBC antigen expression, but significantly influenced some in vitro parameters. Compared to controls, hemolysis was higher in UVC-treated RBC units, but was still below 0.8% at 36 days of storage. Extracellular potassium increased early after PI treatment and reached ≤70 mmol/L by the end of storage. UVC-treated RBC units had higher glucose and 2,3-diphosphoglycerate levels than controls. CONCLUSION As UVC irradiation efficiently reduces the infectivity of relevant bacteria and viruses while maintaining the quality of RBCs, the proposed method offers a new approach for PI of RBC concentrates.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Age of red blood cell (RBC) units at the time of irradiation is important and prolonged storage of preirradiated units is detrimental. The objectives were to determine RBC age at irradiation, days from expiry (DFE), and percentage of late transfusions of irradiated RBC. To estimate the concordance on expiry of irradiated RBC units with present American Association of Blood Banks (AABB)/Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS), New Delhi over British Committee for Standards in Hematology (BCSH) and Council of Europe (CE) guidelines. METHODS All the RBC units irradiated for a 1 year period were included. Retrieved data included date of collection, irradiation, revised expiry, and issue of blood. Late transfusions are units transfused in the last 2 week of RBC's shelf-life and wastage due to expiry was determined. Chi-square and Kruskal-Wallis test were used for comparisons between the guidelines. RESULTS Out of 1303 RBC units irradiated, the median age for irradiation was 2 (0-36) days and 99.3% units irradiated within day +14. Median DFE for these units transfused was 26 (0-28) days. 2.8% units expired as per local standards. Late transfusions happened in 121 (9.3%) units transfused. AABB/DGHS practice was not concordant with CE standards for 86 (6.6%) units and with BCSH 94 (7.2%) units. Overall discordance between the present practices was CE and BCSH was seen in 130 (10%) events. CONCLUSION Median RBC irradiation age and DFE was two and 26 days respectively at our center. Only 90% concordance was observed between AABB/DGHS and CE/BCSH guidelines with 9.3% units transfused as late transfusions. Restricting late transfusions of irradiated RBC can act as surrogate to improve the quality of units transfused through an inexpensive strategy.

Abstract
Irradiated blood is a new type of blood product used to prevent transfusion-associated graft-versus-host disease. However, the effects of irradiation on the metabolism of plasma, red blood cells (RBCs), and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) are largely unknown. We developed a workflow for testing metabolic changes in whole blood to determine the impact of irradiation by chemical isotope labeling liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (CIL LC-MS). Blood parameters, PBMC proliferation and apoptosis were examined before and after irradiation. Next, the amine/phenol metabolites in the blood components were assayed by 12C- and13C-dansylation labeling LC-MS. We identified 1654, 1730, and 1666 peak pairs in plasma, RBCs, and PBMCs, respectively. We screened out 367, 177, and 219 significant metabolites in plasma, RBCs, and PBMCs, respectively, by principle component analyses, volcano plots, and Venn plots. Metabolic pathway analyses showed that irradiation modulated taurine and hypotaurine metabolism in plasma and purine metabolism in RBCs and PBMCs. Changes in potential biomarkers, including an increase in hypoxanthine level and a decrease in adenine level, may be related to the dysfunction of DNA synthesis in PBMCs. The decreased AMP level in RBCs may interfere with RBC storage lesions. Our research provides a more comprehensive perspective on blood metabolism associated with irradiation.

Abstract
Background: Irradiation leads to increased storage lesions that may have harmful effects if transfused. Various storage lesions research has been carried out, and only very few articles are available on the impact of gamma irradiation on RBC storage lesions. Since there has been no study about finding the best time for irradiation, we decided to investigate the effect of irradiation on Red blood cells at different storage times after blood collection Materials and Methods: A total of 40 units of red blood cells divided into two groups, irradiated and non-irradiated. Irradiated RBCs were divided into three groups and each group containing ten units. The remaining ten units were considered as non-irradiated controls. Sampling from these irradiated and non-irradiated blood units was performed weekly to evaluate biochemical parameters and free plasma hemoglobin/Hemolysis index levels. Results: A significant increase in the mean values of plasma potassium, plasma Hb/Hemolysis index, and LDH, as well as a significant reduction in the mean value of 2,3 DPG and plasma sodium, were observed in both groups. Although the reduction of 2,3 DPG is extremely remarkable, it is compensated 24-48 hours after transfusion. Hence, the clinical result of 2,3-DPG-depleted RBC transfusion is known to be negligible. The irradiation group alteration was more notable than the non-irradiated one and the changes in the parameters were most significant in the group having been stored for a longer period after irradiation. Conclusion: Our investigation on the impact of gamma irradiation on RBCs makes it possible to suggest a storage time up to 28 days after irradiation is permissible and the best time for irradiation after blood collection is up to 14 days. It is pointed out that the blood unit should be transfused as soon as possible after the irradiation.

Abstract
Background Storage lesions occur in red blood cell products when potassium ions, haemoglobin and lactate dehydrogenase are released into the extracellular plasma due to post-irradiation storage or cellular degeneration. The South African blood transfusion establishments do not comply with the universal leucocyte-reduction policy due to cost and the current HIV pandemic. Various studies regarding storage lesions have been completed in well-developed countries but not in Cape Town, South Africa. Objective This study aimed to determine cellular degeneration occurring in non-irradiated and irradiated red blood cells (RBC) by comparing the measured biochemical and haematological indices during storage of up to 42 days. Method Eighty whole blood units were collected from voluntary, non-remunerated donors. Blood components tested weekly until expiry were whole blood, RBC concentrate, leucocyte-reduced RBC concentrate (pre-storage) and paediatric RBC concentrate (n = 20). Ten units per product were irradiated and 10 were not. Evaluations included potassium, sodium, glucose, lactate dehydrogenase, phosphate, haemoglobin, haematocrit, mean corpuscular haemoglobin, mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentrate, mean cell volume and plasma haemoglobin. Plasma haemolysis levels were calculated using an approved formula. Results The haemolysis levels evaluated on Day 35 and Day 42 were higher than the recommended 0.8%, whereas results for the non-irradiated components up to expiry were all below 0.8%. Conclusion This study confirms that gamma irradiation aggravates the RBC storage lesions. The products tested yielded similar results to other studies in developed countries, however the South Africa transfusion medicine policy should remain unchanged.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We evaluated the quality of red cell components in additive solution over 42 days of storage when re-manufactured from neonatal exchange transfusion (ExTx) or intrauterine transfusion (IUT) units on day 7 for issue to adults, neonates or infants. MATERIALS AND METHODS Red cell concentrates (RCC) manufactured from WB were compared to RCC re-manufactured from ExTx or IUT on day 7, and red cell splits (RCS) manufactured from WB were compared to RCS re-manufactured from ExTx or IUT on day 7. All components were stored at 2-6°C and tested throughout storage until day 42 for in vitro parameters of red cell quality. One RCS manufactured from each of WB, ExTx or IUT, was irradiated on day 14 and tested on day 28 along with a non-irradiated RCS from the same unit. RESULTS All the re-manufactured arms had no worse haemolysis, red cell microvesicle (RCMV) release or ATP over storage compared to controls. All arms complied with the 0·8% haemolysis UK specification, except for re-manufactured RCS from the IUT arm irradiated on day 14 and tested on day 28. Re-manufactured units had significantly decreased potassium levels compared to control over storage (P < 0·001 all). CONCLUSION RCC or RCS re-manufactured from ExTx or IUT units on day 7 are suitable for transfusion up to the standard day 35 of storage. Re-manufactured RCS from ExTx units (but not IUT), may be irradiated up to day 14 and stored for 14 days post-irradiation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Red cells frozen with glycerol may require gamma-irradiation after thawing and deglycerolization for transfusion to at-risk patients. Both freezing and irradiation are known to cause red cell damage. However, the effect of irradiation on the quality of deglycerolized red cells and the optimal shelf life of such a component is currently unknown. MATERIALS AND METHODS Red cells (<7 days) were pooled, split and glycerolized using an ACP-215 automated cell washer (n = 12 pairs) and frozen at -80°C. Red cells were thawed, deglycerolized and resuspended in SAG-M. One of each pair was gamma-irradiated, while the other served as a control. Products were stored at 2-6°C and sampled for in vitro testing immediately after irradiation, and at 24 and 48 h postirradiation. RESULTS Irradiation of deglycerolized red cells led to a >1·5-fold increase in extracellular potassium, compared to control units at 24 and 48 h postirradiation. Other parameters, including haemolysis, were not significantly affected by irradiation postdeglycerolization. CONCLUSION Deglycerolized, irradiated red cells had increased supernatant potassium, but remained of acceptable quality for 24 h postirradiation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To investigate the extent of oxidative damage and changes in morphology of manually isolated red blood cells (RBCs) from whole blood, cold stored (up to 20 days) in polystyrene tubes and subjected to pre-storage irradiation (50 Gy) and to compare the properties of SAGM-preserved RBCs stored under experimental conditions (polystyrene tubes) with RBCs from standard blood bag storage. METHODS The percentage of hemolysis as well as the extracellular activity of LDH, thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances, reduced glutathione (GSH), and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) were measured. Changes in the topology of RBC membrane, shape, and size were evaluated by flow cytometry and judged against microscopy images. RESULTS Irradiation caused significant LDH release as well as increased hemolysis and lipid peroxidation, GSH depletion, and reduction of TAC. Prolonged storage of irradiated RBCs resulted in phosphatidylserine exposure on the cell surface. By day 20, approximately 60% of RBCs displayed non-discoid shape. We did not notice significant differences in percentage of altered cells and cell volume between RBCs exposed to irradiation and those not exposed. CONCLUSION Irradiation of RBC transfusion units with a dose of 50 Gy should be avoided. For research purposes such as studying the role of antioxidants, storage of small volumes of RBCs derived from the same donor would be more useful, cheaper, and blood-saving.

Abstract
An investigation into the effects of irradiation and of the storage time on aging and quality are a relevant issue to ensure the safety and the efficiency of irradiation in the prevention of transfusion-associated graft-versus-host disease (TA-GVHD). In this work, the biochemical properties and alterations presented by erythrocyte membranes, up to 28-days post-irradiation, with a dose of 25 Gy, were studied as a function of storage and post-irradiation time. There was a considerable variation in the total of phospholipid content, when comparing the control and irradiated samples, mostly from the third day onwards; and at the same time, the effect occurred as a function on the storage time of blood bags. The levels of total cholesterol decreased 3-9 days after irradiation. TBARS levels were increased after irradiation and 7 days of storage, but no increment of catalase activity was observed after the irradiation. Furthermore, the protein profile was maintained throughout the irradiation and storage time, until the 21st day, with the presence of a protein fragmentation band of around 28 kDa on the 28th day. In conclusion, although gamma irradiation is the main agent for the prevention of TA-GVHD, a better understanding of the physical and biochemical properties of erythrocytes are necessary to better assess their viability, and to be able to issue more secure recommendations on the shelf life of blood bags, and the safe use of the irradiated red cells therein.

Abstract
Posttranslational modifications (PTMs) have been reported in hemoglobin (Hb) treated with ROS/RNS in cell-free experiments. However, little is known about oxidative PTMs of Hb occurring within the erythrocytes. The aim of this study is to characterize the patterns of Hb PTMs in erythrocytes under oxidative stress. Using mass spectrometry, we investigated specifically methionine/tryptophan oxidation, tyrosine nitration, and the modification via 4-hydroxynonenal (HNE), a product of lipid-peroxidation, on Hb. We demonstrated that the treatment with H(2)O(2)/nitrite induced higher levels of Hb oxidation/nitration in purified Hb preparations than in unpurified hemolysates and erythrocytes, indicating that ROS/RNS are primarily removed by antioxidative mechanisms. We further studied Hb from erythrocytes exposed to γ-irradiation. An irradiation of 30-100 Gy triggered a remarkable increase of intracellular ROS. However, 30 Gy did not induce apparent changes in Hb oxidation/nitration and hemolysis, while Hb oxidation/nitration and hemolysis were significantly enhanced by 100 Gy, suggesting that Hb oxidation/nitration are the consequence of overwhelmed antioxidative mechanisms after oxidative attack and reflect the severity of the oxidative damage of erythrocytes. Although irradiation was known to induce lipid-peroxidation, we could not detect HNE-Hb adducts in irradiated erythrocytes. Analyzing PTM patterns suggests Hb nitration as a more suitable indicator of the oxidative damage of erythrocytes.
