Abstract
This work finds suitable enzyme activity protectants to improve the recovery rate of enzyme activity in the preparation of human polymerized hemoglobin-superoxide dismutase-catalase-carbonic anhydrase (PolyHb-SOD-CAT-CA), including trehalose, sucrose, glucose, hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin, and mannitol.Different types and concentrations of enzyme activity protective agents were added during polymerization to compare their protective ability to enzyme activity and the effect on the properties of hemoglobin. The study found that compared with trehalose, the protective effect of sucrose on CA enzyme activity is non-significant to that on hemoglobin, the recovery rate of SOD, and CAT enzyme activity has significant increased. Glucose, hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin, and mannitol are unsuitable for the added enzyme activity protective agent of PolyHb-SOD-CAT-CA.The protective effect of sucrose on CA was non-significant with trehalose. The protective effect of sucrose on SOD and CAT enzyme activity was higher than trehalose, and the protective effect reached the maximum when the concentration reached 1.5%.

Abstract
Background Reagent red blood cells (RBCs) are prepared from donated whole blood, resulting in various combinations of blood group antigens. This inconsistency can be resolved by producing RBCs with uniform antigen expression. Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) generated directly from mature cells constitute an unlimited source for RBC production. We aimed to produce erythroid cells from iPSCs for diagnostic purposes. We hypothesized that cultured erythroid cells express surface antigens that can be recognized by blood group antibodies. Methods iPSCs were co-cultured with OP9 stromal cells to stimulate differentiation into the erythroid lineage. Cell differentiation was examined using microscopy and flow cytometry. Hemoglobin electrophoresis and oxygen-binding capacity testing were performed to verify that the cultured erythroid cells functioned normally. The agglutination reactions of the cultured erythroid cells to antibodies were investigated to confirm that the cells expressed blood group antigens. Results The generated iPSCs showed stemness characteristics and could differentiate into the erythroid lineage. As differentiation progressed, the proportion of nucleated RBCs increased. Hemoglobin electrophoresis revealed a sharp peak in the hemoglobin F region. The oxygen-binding capacity test results were similar between normal RBCs and cultured nucleated RBCs. ABO and Rh-Hr blood grouping confirmed similar antigen expression between the donor RBCs and cultured nucleated RBCs. Conclusions We generated blood group antigen-expressing nucleated RBCs from iPSCs co-cultured with OP9 cells that can be used for diagnostic purposes. iPSCs from rare blood group donors could serve as an unlimited source for reagent production.

Glutaraldehyde-Polymerized Hemoglobin: In Search of Improved Performance as Oxygen Carrier in Hemorrhage Models. Bioinorg Chem Appl 2020; 2020:1096573.

Abstract
Hemoglobin- (Hb-) based oxygen carriers (HBOC) have for several decades been explored for treatment of hemorrhage. In our previous top-up tests, HBOC with lower in vitro prooxidant reactivity (incorporating a peroxidase or serum albumin to this end) showed a measurable but small improvement of oxidative stress-related parameters. Here, such HBOCs are tested in a hemorrhage set-up; ovine hemoglobin is also tested for the first time in such a setting, based on in vitro data showing its improved performance versus bovine Hb against oxidative and nitrosative stress agents. Indeed, ovine Hb performs better than bovine Hb in terms of survival rates, arterial tension, immunology, and histology. On the other hand, unlike in the top-up models, where the nonheme peroxidase rubrerythrin as well as bovine serum albumin copolymerized with Hb were shown to improve the performance of HBOC, in the present hemorrhage models rubrerythrin fails dramatically as HBOC ingredient (with a distinct immunological reaction), whereas serum albumin appears not feasible if its source is a different species (i.e., bovine serum albumin fares distinctly worse than rat serum albumin, in HBOC transfusions in rats). An effect of the matrix in which the HBOCs are dissolved (PBS versus gelofusine versus plasma) is noted.

Abstract
Blood transfusions are one of the most common procedures performed in hospitalized patients. Yet, despite all of the measures taken to ensure the safety of the blood supply, there are known risks associated with transfusions, including infectious and noninfectious complications. Meanwhile, issues with blood product availability, the need for compatibility testing, and the storage and transport requirements of blood products, have presented challenges for the administration of blood transfusions. Additionally, there are individuals who do not accept blood transfusions (e.g., Jehovah's Witnesses). Therefore, there is a need to develop alternative agents that can reliably and safely replace blood. However, although there have been many attempts to develop blood substitutes over the years, there are currently no such products available that have been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). However, a more-recently developed hemoglobin-based oxygen carrier has shown promise in early clinical trials and has achieved the status of "Orphan Drug" under the FDA.

Abstract
Artificial blood is an innovative concept of transfusion medicine where specifically designed compounds perform the task of transport and delivery of oxygen in the body to replace this function of allogenic human blood transfusion. Several molecules have been developed in the past few decades to achieve this objective and continous refinements are being continuously made in the quest of the ideal blood substitute. Currently, available technology manufactures artificial blood from haemoglobin obtained from outdated human/bovine blood (Haemoglobin Based Oxygen Carriers) or utilizing Perfluorocarbons. These synthetic blood substitutes are advantageous in that they do not require compatibility testing, are free from blood borne infections, have prolonged shelf life and do not require refrigeration. Artificial blood is projected to have a significant impact on the development of medical care in the future. It can complement the current blood products for transfusion and create a stable supply of safe and effective products. It is likely to reduce the requirements of blood transfusions drastically especially in settings of trauma and surgery thereby reducing the reliance on banked donated blood.

Abstract
Layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly is a most commonly used method to prepare various microcapsules based on the electrostatic interactions, hydrogen bonding, covalent bonding, and so on. Among these interactions, Schiff base bond formed in covalent assembly not only has an advantage in stability, but also enables the assembled microcapsules with autofluorescence and pH sensitivity. In this Article, we will mainly describe the construction of biomimetic microcapsules through Schiff base mediated LbL assembly. The structures and properties of the assembled microcapsules are introduced and their applications as drug carriers are highlighted.

Abstract
We have previously proposed the annelid-derived protein, hemerythrin, as a viable replacement for hemoglobin in the synthesis of semi-synthetic oxygen carriers ("blood substitutes"). Here, we report the first in vivo tests for potential hemerythrin-based oxygen carriers (HrBOC), using a battery of experiments involving Wistar rats and previously tested on a series of hemoglobin-based oxygen carrier candidates (HBOC). At the concentrations tested, hemerythrin appears to behave similarly to hemoglobin - including, importantly, immunological effects. The antioxidant strategies based on albumin as well as based on rubrerythrin appear to offer observable physiological advantages.

Abstract
In recent years, indocyanine green (ICG) encapsulated in different kinds of nano-carriers have been developed to overcome its short lifetime in vivo and non-selectivity in cancer cells. However, these nanoparticles are still easily recognized and captured by the reticuloendothelial system (RES) and the low singlet oxygen quantum (0.08) of ICG inevitably leads to a limited efficacy of phototherapy. To overcome these limitations, a novel oxygen self-enriched biomimetic red blood cell (RBC) was developed by cloaking albumin nanoparticles which contained ICG and perfluorocarbon (PFC) with RBC membranes. Due to the high oxygen capacity of PFC, the oxygen self-enriched nanoparticles can enhance photodynamic therapy (PDT) by generating more singlet oxygen (1O2). After successfully coated RBC membranes onto nanoparticles, the novel oxygen self-enriched biomimetic RBCs remained the characteristics of photothermal therapy (PTT) and enhanced PDT in vitro. Importantly, it can effectively reduce immune clearance in macrophage cells (RAW264.7) and significantly prolong blood circulation time, achieving high accumulation in tumor. In addition, the tumor growth was effectively inhibited after intravenous injection to tumor-bearing mice. Altogether, this oxygen self-enriched RBCs with long circulation time and high oxygen capacity as natural RBCs provide a new strategy to design biomimetic nano-system for clinical cancer phototherapy treatment. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE Near-infrared (NIR) dyes encapsulated in nanocarriers have been achieved great interest in cancer phototherapy treatment. However, the low singlet oxygen (1O2) quantum of NIR dyes and short circulation time of nanoparticles lead to unsatisfactory efficacy, limiting their applications. In this study, a novel oxygen self-enriched biomimetic red blood cell (bio-RBC) was developed to produce fluorescence, imaging-guided for photothermal therapy (PTT) and enhanced photodynamic therapy (PDT). It was composed of RBC membranes and albumin nanoparticles (IPH) which contained indocyanine green (ICG) and perfluorocarbon (PFC). After RBC membranes successfully being coated on nanoparticles, bio-RBC can effectively reduce immune clearance in macrophage cells and achieve longer circulation time in vivo, due to the protein retention in RBC membranes. In addition, PFC with high oxygen capacity can provide more oxygen to generate more 1O2 and dissolve 1O2 to enhance its life-time, enhancing PDT cancer treatment. In summary, the novel bio-RBC with longer lifetime and higher oxygen capacity as natural RBCs can significantly accumulate on tumor and effectively enhance phototherapy. It could serve as a novel strategy to overcome the problems of NIR dyes encapsulated nanoparticles, promising for future clinical application.

Abstract
The small size of hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers (HBOCs) may expand the realm of new treatment possibilities for various circulatory diseases. The parametric evaluation of HBOC performance for oxygen transport within tissue is essential for effectively characterizing its performance for each circulatory disease assessed. Thus, the overarching objective of this present study was to numerically investigate the reaction-diffusion phenomenon of oxygenated HBOCs and oxygen on tissues through microvessels. We considered dissociation rate coefficients, oxygen affinity, and diffusion coefficients due to Brownian motion as the biophysical parameters for estimating HBOC performance for oxygen transport. A two-dimensional computational domain, including vessel and tissue regions, was, therefore, accordingly assumed. It was observed that HBOC flows in a microvessel with a diameter of 25 μm and a length of 1 mm, and that the dissociated oxygen diffuses to the tissue region. The results indicated that oxyhemoglobin saturation and partial oxygen tension in a downstream region changed according to each biophysical parameter of HBOC. Moreover, the change in oxygen consumption rate in the tissue region had considerable influence on the oxyhemoglobin saturation level within the vessel. Comparison between simulation results and existing in vitro experimental data of actual HBOCs and RBC showed qualitatively good agreement. These results provide important information for the effective design of robust HBOCs in future.

Abstract
Ferrous oxyhemoglobin (HbO2) in red blood cells (RBCs) invariably and slowly autoxidizes to form ferric methemoglobin (metHb). However, the level of metHb is always maintained below 0.5% by intracellular metHb reduction of enzymatic systems with coenzymes, such as reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH), and by superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT), which eliminate reactive oxygen species. Unquestionably, NADH cannot reduce metHb without the corresponding enzymatic system. Our study, however, demonstrated that a high concentration of NADH (100-fold of normal level, equimolar to HbO2) retarded autoxidation of HbO2 in a highly purified Hb solution with no enzymatic system. Furthermore, an inhibitory effect of NADH on metHb formation was observed with additions of oxidants such as H2O2, NO, and NaNO2. Our mechanism assessment elucidated extremely high pseudo-CAT and pseudo-SOD activities of NADH with coexistence of HbO2, and reactivity of NADH with NO. We prepared a model of RBCs (Hb-vesicles, Hb-V) encapsulating purified HbO2 solution and NADH, but no enzymatic system within liposome. We confirmed the inhibitory effect of NADH on both autoxidation and oxidant-induced metHb formation. In addition, an intravenous administration of these Hb-Vs to rats caused significant retardation of metHb formation by approximately 50% compared to the case without NADH coencapsulation. Based on these results, we elucidated a new role of NADH, that is, antioxidative effect via interaction with Hb, in addition to its classical role as a coenzyme.

Abstract
Hemerythrin is an oxygen-carrying protein found in marine invertebrates and may be a promising alternative to hemoglobin for use in blood substitutes, primarily due to its negligible peroxidative toxicity. Previous studies have shown that glutaraldehyde-induced copolymerization of hemoglobin with bovine serum albumin increases the half-life of the active oxy form of hemoglobin (i.e. decreases the auto-oxidation rate). Here, we describe a protocol for glutaraldehyde copolymerization of Hr with human serum albumin and the dioxygen-binding properties of the co-polymerized products. The copolymerization with HSA results in alteration of hemerythrin's dioxygen-binding properties in directions that may be favorable for use in blood substitutes.

Abstract
Oxygen is essential in the energy metabolism of cells, as well as being an important regulatory parameter influencing cell differentiation and function. Interest in precise oxygen control for in vitro cultures of tissues and cells continues to grow, especially with the emergence of the organ-on-a-chip and the desire to emulate in vivo conditions. This was recently discussed in this journal in a Critical Review by Brennan et al. (Lab Chip (2014). DOI: ). Microfluidics can be used to introduce flow to facilitate nutrient supply to and waste removal from in vitro culture systems. Well-defined oxygen gradients can also be established. However, cells can quickly alter the oxygen balance in their vicinity. In this Tutorial Review, we expand on the Brennan paper to focus on the implementation of oxygen analysis in these systems to achieve continuous monitoring. Both electrochemical and optical approaches for the integration of oxygen monitoring in microfluidic tissue and cell culture systems will be discussed. Differences in oxygen requirements from one organ to the next are a challenging problem, as oxygen delivery is limited by its uptake into medium. Hence, we discuss the factors determining oxygen concentrations in solutions and consider the possible use of artificial oxygen carriers to increase dissolved oxygen concentrations. The selection of device material for applications requiring precise oxygen control is discussed in detail, focusing on oxygen permeability. Lastly, a variety of devices is presented, showing the diversity of approaches that can be employed to control and monitor oxygen concentrations in in vitro experiments.

Abstract
Safe and effective artificial oxygen carriers are the subject of great interest due to the problems of traditional blood transfusion and enormous demand in clinical use. In view of its unique oxygen-transport ability and normal metabolic pathways, hemoglobin is regarded as an ideal oxygen-carrying unit. With advances in nano-biotechnology, hemoglobin assemblies as artificial oxygen carriers achieve great development. Here, recent progress on hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers is highlighted in view of two aspects: acellular hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers and cellular hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers. These novel oxygen carriers exhibit advantages over traditional carriers and will greatly promote research on reliable and feasible oxygen carriers.

Abstract
Engineered tissues are highly limited by poor vascularization in vivo, leading to hypoxia. In order to overcome this challenge, we propose the use of photosynthetic biomaterials to provide oxygen. Since photosynthesis is the original source of oxygen for living organisms, we suggest that this could be a novel approach to provide a constant source of oxygen supply independently of blood perfusion. In this study we demonstrate that bioartificial scaffolds can be loaded with a solution containing the photosynthetic microalgae Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, showing high biocompatibility and photosynthetic activity in vitro. Furthermore, when photosynthetic biomaterials were engrafted in a mouse full skin defect, we observed that the presence of the microalgae did not trigger a native immune response in the host. Moreover, the analyses showed that the algae survived for at least 5 days in vivo, generating chimeric tissues comprised of algae and murine cells. The results of this study represent a crucial step towards the establishment of autotrophic tissue engineering approaches and suggest the use of photosynthetic cells to treat a broad spectrum of hypoxic conditions.

Abstract
Organ culture systems are instrumental as experimental whole-organ models of physiology and disease, as well as preservation modalities facilitating organ replacement therapies such as transplantation. Nevertheless, a coordinated system of machine perfusion components and integrated regulatory control has yet to be fully developed to achieve long-term maintenance of organ function ex vivo. Here we outline current strategies for organ culture, or organomatics, and how these systems can be regulated by means of computational algorithms, or organometrics, to achieve the organ culture platforms anticipated in modern-day biomedicine.

Abstract
Hemoglobin (Hb) derivatization for blood substitute purposes often involves multi-step processes including redox reagents such as borohydride and periodate, with possible subsequent side effects. Disuccinimidyl suberate (DSS) allows protein cross-linking without toxic side-products, forming one-step peptide bonds with the lysine residues. Here, we report that Hb polymers were obtained using DSS, making this the first report of a single-step polymerization for blood substitutes. The increase in autooxidation rate incurred by this polymerization is completely reversed when BSA is copolymerized with Hb. Copolymerization of Hb with BSA appears to be beneficial for alleviating pro-oxidant effects, regardless of the polymerizing agent employed.

Abstract
The current clinical successes of tissue engineering are limited primarily to low-metabolism, acellular, pre-vascularized or thin tissues. Mass transport has been identified as the primary culprit, limiting the delivery of nutrients (such as oxygen and glucose) and removal of wastes, from tissues deep within a cellular scaffold. While strategies to develop sufficient vasculature to overcome hypoxia in vitro are promising, inconsistencies between the in vitro and the in vivo environments may still negate the effectiveness of large-volume tissue-engineered scaffolds. While a common theme in tissue engineering is to maximize oxygen supply, studies suggest that moderate oxygenation of cellular scaffolds during in vitro conditioning is preferable to high oxygen levels. Aiming for moderate oxygen values to prevent hypoxia while still promoting angiogenesis may be obtained by tailoring in vitro culture conditions to the oxygen environment the scaffold will experience upon implantation. This review discusses the causes and effects of tissue-engineering hypoxia and the optimization of oxygenation for the minimization of in vivo hypoxia.

Abstract
We have previously reported that derivatization of hemoglobin with periodate-modified sugar derivatives such as oxidized adenosine triphosphate (oATP) leads to an increase in prooxidant reactivity at the heme. Here, we report that copolymerization of hemoglobin with serum albumin alleviates this problem completely, to the extent where the copolymer even has a slightly lower autooxidation rate compared to native hemoglobin. A similar, although not as potent, effect is obtained when hemoglobin is derivatized with oATP in the presence of small-molecule antioxidants instead of albumin.

Abstract
The design and synthesis of bis[2-(3-carboxyphenoxy)carbonylethyl]phosphinic acid (m-BCCEP, 1) as a site-directed affinity reagent for cross-linking human hemoglobin have been reported as part of our long-term goal to generate artificial blood for emergency transfusions. Molecular modeling techniques were used to design the reagent, employing crystal coordinates of human hemoglobin A(0) imported from the Protein Data Bank. It was synthesized in four steps commencing from 3-hydroxybenzoic acid. The reagent 1 was converted to its trisodium salt to allow effective cross-linking in an aqueous medium. The reagent 1, as its trisodium salt, was found to specifically cross-link stroma-free human hemoglobin A(0) in the beta-cleft under oxygenated reaction conditions at neutral pH. The SDS-PAGE analyses of the modified hemoglobin pointed to the molecular mass range of 32 kDa as anticipated. The HPLC analyses of the product suggested that the cross-link had formed between the beta(1)-beta(2) subunits. Molecular dynamics simulation studies on the reagent-HbA(0) complex suggested that the predominant amino acid residues involved in the cross-linking are N-terminus Val-1 or Lys-82 on one of the beta-subunits and Lys-144 on the other. These predictions were borne out by MALDI-TOF MS analyses data of the peptide fragments obtained from tryptic digestion of the cross-linked product. The data also suggested the presence of a minor cross-link between Val-1 and Lys-82 on the opposing subunits. The oxygen equilibrium measurements of the m-BCCEP-modified hemoglobin product at 37 degrees C showed oxygen affinity (P(50) = 25.8 Torr) comparable to that of the natural whole blood (P(50) = 27.0 Torr) and significantly lower than that of stroma-free hemoglobin (P(50) = 14.19 Torr) assayed under identical conditions. The measured Hill coefficient value of 1.91 of the m-BCCEP-modified Hb product points to the reasonable retainment of oxygen-binding cooperativity after the cross-link formation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diaspirin cross-linked hemoglobin (DCLHb) has demonstrated a pressor effect that could adversely affect traumatic hemorrhagic shock patients through diminished perfusion to vital organs, causing base deficit (BD) and lactate abnormalities. METHODS Data from two parallel, multicenter traumatic hemorrhagic shock clinical trials from 17 US Emergency Departments and 27 European Union prehospital services using DCLHb, a hemoglobin-based resuscitation fluid. RESULTS In the 219 patients, the mean age was 37.3 years, 64% of the patients sustained a blunt injury, 48% received DCLHb resuscitation, and the overall 28-day mortality rate was 36.5%. BD data did not differ by treatment group (DCLHb vs. normal saline [NS]) at any time point. Study entry BD was higher in patients who died when compared with survivors in both studies (US: -14.7 vs. -9.3 and European Union: -11.1 vs. -4.1 mEq/L, p < 0.003) and at the first three time points after resuscitation. No differences in BD based on treatment group were observed in either those who survived or those who died from the hemorrhagic shock. US lactate data did not differ by treatment group (DCLHb vs. NS) at any time point. Study entry lactates were higher in US patients who ultimately died when compared with survivors (82.4 vs. 56.1 mmol/L, p < 0.003) and at all five postresuscitation time points. No lactate differences were observed between DCLHb and NS survivors or in those who died based on treatment group. CONCLUSIONS Although patients who died had more greatly altered perfusion than those who survived, DCLHb treatment of traumatic hemorrhagic shock patients was not associated with BD or lactate abnormalities that would indicate poor perfusion.

Abstract
Hemoglobin solutions have demonstrated a pressor effect that could adversely affect hemorrhagic shock patient resuscitation through accelerated hemorrhage, diminished perfusion, or inadequate resuscitation. Data from two parallel, multicenter traumatic hemorrhagic shock clinical trials in 17 US emergency departments and in 27 EU prehospital systems using diaspirin cross-linked hemoglobin (DCLHb), a hemoglobin-based resuscitation fluid. In the 219 patients, patients were 37 years old, 64% sustained blunt injury, 48% received DCLHb, and 36% expired. Although mean systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure values differed at 2 of the 10 measured time points, blood pressure (BP) curve analysis showed no SBP, diastolic blood pressure, or MAP differences based on treatment. Although SBP values 160 and 120 mmHg or greater were 2.2x and 2.6x more frequently noted in survivors, they were not more common with DCLHb use or in DCLHb patients who expired in US study nonsurvivors or in any EU study patients. Systolic blood pressure values 160 and 120 mmHg or greater were 2.8x and 1.3x more frequently noted in DCLHb survivors as compared with normal saline survivors. Only 3% of the BP variation noted could be attributed to DCLHb use, and as expected, injury severity and baseline physiologic status were stronger predictors. In the United States alone, treatment group was not correlated by regression with BP at any time point. Neither mean BP readings nor elevated BP readings were correlated with DCLHb treatment of traumatic hemorrhagic shock patients. As such, no clinically demonstrable DCLHb pressor effect could be directly related to the adverse mortality outcome observed in the US study.

Abstract
Intravenous administration of cell-free Hb induces vasoconstriction and circulatory disorders, presumably because of the intrinsic affinities to endogenous nitric oxide (NO) and carbon monoxide (CO) as vasorelaxation factors and because of the facilitated O2 release that might induce autoregulatory vasoconstriction. We examined these gas reactions when Hb-containing solutions of four kinds were perfused through artificial narrow tubes at a practical Hb concentration (10 g/dl). Purified Hb solution, polymerized bovine Hb (PolyBHb), encapsulated Hb [Hb-vesicles (HbV), 279 nm], and red blood cells (RBCs) were perfused through a gas-permeable narrow tube (25 μm inner diameter) at 1 mm/s centerline velocity. The level of reactions was determined microscopically based on the visible-light absorption spectrum of Hb. When the tube was immersed in NO and CO atmospheres, both NO binding and CO binding of deoxygenated Hb (deoxy-Hb) and PolyBHb in the tube was faster than those of HbV and RBCs, and HbV and RBCs showed almost identical binding rates. When the tube was immersed in a N2 atmosphere, oxygenated Hb and PolyBHb showed much faster O2 release than did HbV and RBCs. PolyBHb showed a faster reaction than Hb because of the lower O2 affinity of PolyBHb than Hb. The diffusion process of the particles was simulated using Navier-Stokes and Maxwell-Stefan equations. Results clarified that small Hb (6 nm) diffuses laterally and mixes rapidly. However, the large-dimension HbV shows no such rapid diffusion. The purely physicochemical differences in diffusivity of the particles and the resulting reactivity with gas molecules are one factor inducing biological vasoconstriction of Hb-based oxygen carriers.

Abstract
Encapsulation of hemoglobin in a biocompatible matrix is a potential strategy for obtaining blood substitutes. Such a system would retain most of the immunogenic and functional properties of the physiologically relevant oxygen carrier but would prevent protein extravasation and dimer/dimer dissociation. We applied this approach by entrapping hemoglobin in wet nanoporous silica gel, in the presence and absence of allosteric effectors. Silica gels, although not suitable for intravenous perfusion, are inert and optically transparent, thus allowing a full characterization of the functional and structural properties of encapsulated hemoglobin by spectroscopic techniques. Results indicate that hemoglobin molecules, entrapped using different protocols, exhibit an oxygen affinity that can be modulated between 12 and 140 torr. This tunability could be exploited to meet distinct clinical needs.

Abstract
Red blood cells (RBCs) generally deform to adopt a parachute-like, torpedo-like, or other configuration to align and flow through a capillary that is narrower than their major axis. As described herein, even in a narrow tube (25 μm) with diameter much larger than that of a capillary, flowing RBCs at 1 mm/s align axially and deform to a paraboloid shape in a viscous Newtonian fluid (505 kDa dextran medium) with viscosity of 23.4–57.1 mPa·s. A high-speed digital camera image showed that the silhouette of the tip of RBCs fits a parabola, unlike the shape of RBCs in capillaries, because of the longer distance of the RBC-free layer between the tube wall and the RBC surface (∼8.8 μm). However, when RBCs are suspended in a “non-Newtonian” viscous fluid (liposome-40 kDa dextran medium) with a shear-thinning profile, they migrate toward the tube wall to avoid the axial lining, as “near-wall-excess,” which is usually observed for platelets. This migration results from the presence of flocculated liposomes at the tube center. In contrast, such near-wall excess was not observed when RBCs were suspended in a nearly Newtonian liposome-albumin medium. Such unusual flow patterns of RBCs would be explainable by the principle; a larger particle tends to flow near the centerline, and a small one tends to go to the wall to flow with least resistance. However, we visualized for the first time the complete axial aligning and near-wall excess of RBCs in the noncapillary size tube in some extreme conditions.

Abstract
Blood transfusion is a medical intervention practised throughout the world. Blood is a biologically active material that can transmit diseases (e.g., HIV/AIDS and, perhaps, vCJD). People are becoming increasingly concerned about blood safety, despite improved screening and processing. Consequently, they are reluctant to donate blood or receive transfusions. Such problems can be solved by the development and incorporation into transfusion practices of so-called "blood substitutes" to replace some blood uses. The EuroBloodSubstitutes Project is funded by the European Union Framework 6 Programme to develop a technological platform for producing novel haem proteins and blood substitute components using micro-organisms (bacteria, fungi, yeast) as "cell factories." The Project will focus on bacteria (Escherichia coli), yeast (Pichia pastoris) and, longer-term, filamentous fungi (Aspergillus niger), all organisms used to synthesize commercially important products. The multi-centre Consortium consists of the Universities of (1) Nottingham (UK), (2) Essex (UK), (3) Denmark Technical (Denmark), (4) Lund (Sweden), (5) Milan (Italy), (6) Nancy (France), (7) Parma (Italy), (8) Rome "La Sapienza" (Italy), (9) Semmelweis (Hungary), together with (10) Alligator Bioscience, AB (Sweden), (11) LCC Engineering & Trading GmbH (Switzerland), (12) Scottish National Blood Transfusion Service (UK), and (13) Sanquin Bloodbank (The Netherlands). The EuroBloodSubstitutes Project will be informed by lay and professional stakeholders (e.g., clinicians, blood donors, patient groups, prescribers and policy makers). Outcomes of the Project are (1) the production of an information pack, decision aids and physician training aids, giving balanced overviews of the benefits and risks of transfusion of blood or potential substitutes, and (2) an interactive web site (http//:www.eurobloodsubstitutes.com) for information dissemination. This will improve knowledge and address misunderstandings about transfusion issues in a climate of changing patient expectations on blood safety and benefits of blood substitutes.

Abstract
A pilot study was undertaken in the UK in February 2005 to identify the perceptions of risk, effectiveness and ethicality of different hypothetical transfusion options, including blood substitutes derived from different sources, among young adults. Forty-nine men and 92 women completed the questionnaire, aging between 18 and 25 years old (mean +/- standard deviation = 19.7 +/- 1.2 years). Twenty-three percent of respondents had donated blood, an average of 3.1 times. The study assessed the perceptions of donor blood versus 3 different types of potential "artificial blood" [i.e. "chemical" (synthetic), "grown from bacteria" (recombinant hemoglobin), or "based on cow blood" (bovine hemoglobin)] on three dimensions, namely risk, effectiveness, and ethicality, each scored on a 1 (least) to 7 (most) Likert-type scale. Donor blood was rated as significantly (P < 0.05) less risky, more effective and more ethical than any of the blood substitutes. The chemical-based blood substitute was rated second least risky, second most effective and second most ethical followed by bacteria grown substitute. The bovine-based blood substitute was rated as significantly riskier, least effective and least ethical. All the blood products differed significantly for perceived ethicality, with donor blood considered as most ethical and a blood substitute derived from bovine blood as least ethical. Judgments of risk correlated negatively with effectiveness (all transfusion options) and ethicality (all the blood substitutes). Overall, these results indicate that donor blood is currently preferred over blood substitutes in the UK and that judgments of risk about different hypothetical transfusion options are related to perceptions of effectiveness and ethicality.

Abstract
In this work, we describe the synthesis and characterization of a novel glycosylated hemoglobin (Hb) with high oxygen affinity as a potential Hb-based oxygen carrier. Site-selective glycosylation of bovine Hb was achieved by conjugating a lactose derivative to Cys 93 on the beta subunit of Hb. LC-MS analysis indicates that the reaction was quantitative, with no unmodified Hb present in the reaction product. The glycosylation site was identified by chymotrypsin digestion of the glycosylated bovine Hb followed with LC-MS/MS and from the X-ray crystal structure of the glycosylated Hb. The chemical conjugation of the lactose derivative at Cys beta93 yields an oxygen carrier with a high oxygen affinity (P(50) of 4.94 mmHg) and low cooperativity coefficient (n) of 1.20. Asymmetric flow field-flow fractionation (AFFFF) coupled with multiangle static light scattering (MASLS) was used to measure the absolute molecular weight of the glycosylated Hb. AFFFF-MASLS analysis indicates that glycosylation of Hb significantly altered the alpha(2)beta(2)-alphabeta equilibrium compared to native Hb. Subsequent X-ray analysis of the glycosylated Hb crystal showed that the covalently linked lactose derivative is sandwiched between the beta(1) and alpha(2) (and hence by symmetry the beta(2) and alpha(1)) subunits of the tetramer, and the interaction between the saccharide and amino acid residues located at the interface is apparently stabilized by hydrogen bonding interactions. The resultant structural analysis of the glycosylated Hb helps to explain the shift in the alpha(2)beta(2)-alphabeta equilibrium in terms of the hydrogen bonding interactions at the beta(1)alpha(2)/beta(2)alpha(1) interface. Taken together, all of these results indicate that it is feasible to site-specifically glycosylate Hb. This work has great potential in developing an oxygen carrier with defined chemistry that can target oxygen delivery to low pO(2) tissues and organs.

Abstract
As the red cell emerges from the bone marrow, it loses its nucleus, ribosomes, and mitochondria and therefore all capacity for protein synthesis. However, because of the high O(2) tension in arterial blood and heme Fe content, reactive oxygen species (ROS) are continuously produced within red cells. Erythrocytes transport large amount of oxygen over their lifespan resulting in oxidative stress. Various factors can lead to the generation of oxidizing radicals such as O(2)(-), H(2)O(2), HO in erythrocytes. Evidence indicates that many physiological and pathological conditions such as aging, inflammation, eryptosis develop through ROS action. As such, red cells have potent antioxidant protection consisting of enzymatic and nonenzymatic pathways that modify highly ROS into substantially less reactive intermediates. The object of this review is to shed light on the role of ROS both at physiological and pathological levels and the structural requirements of antioxidants for appreciable radical-scavenging activity. Obviously, much is still to be discovered before we clearly understand mechanisms of free radical systems in erythrocytes. Ongoing trends in the field are recognition of undetermined oxidant/antioxidant interactions and elucidation of important signaling networks in radical metabolism.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We have developed a phospholipid liposome vesicle encapsulating concentrated human hemoglobin (hemoglobin vesicle, HbV) as an artificial oxygen carrier, as an alternative to red cell transfusion. We have verified its oxygen transporting capability in a variety of preclinical models. Recent evidence suggests that artificial oxygen carriers may also be applicable for better oxygenation of ischemic or hypoxic tissues including tumors. To our knowledge, tumor oxygenation using a liposome-type artificial oxygen carrier has not been closely tested. In the present study, we tested whether systemic HbV administration changes tumor tissue oxygen tension, and if it modifies tumor response to irradiation. MATERIALS AND METHODS Lewis lung carcinoma was grown subcutaneously in the left hindleg of C57BL/6 mice. Experiments were initiated when the tumors reached approximately 8 mm. All experiments were done under room air. Tumor tissue oxygen tension was measured by phosphorescence quenching up to 45 min after systemic sample administration (saline: n = 5; HbV: n = 5; HbV containing methemoglobin (metHbV): n = 4; HbV with high oxygen affinity (lowP50HbV): n = 8) and compared between samples. To test the effects on irradiation response, samples (saline: n = 7; HbV: n = 7; metHbV: n = 7; lowP50HbV: n = 7) were administered prior to single 20-Gy irradiation, and tumor growth was compared. RESULTS Tumor tissue oxygen tension transiently increased approximately 2-fold after HbV administration in comparison to other samples. Tumor growth was marginally delayed after irradiation by prior administration of HbV in comparison to other samples. HbV administration without irradiation did not affect significant tumor growth delay. CONCLUSIONS These results correlatively suggest that HbV augmented tumor growth delay following irradiation, at least in part, by affecting tumor tissue oxygen tension.

Abstract
Isolation and purification of bovine hemoglobin (HbBv) was carried out after reaction of whole blood with carbon monoxide. Washing/centrifugation steps were used to eliminate leukocytes, platelets, and plasma proteins. Hypotonic media and ultrasound radiation were used to lyse red blood cells. Lyse by ultrasound was shown to lead to solutions at the highest concentrations in HbBv, and the least concentrations in major phospholipids contaminants. Additional purification procedures were performed to remove membrane proteins and phospholipids. In the first case, proteins were denatured by thermal treatment, and filtered. To eliminate phospholipids, liquid chromatography was used with strong anion exchangers. Purity of HbBv was evaluated by normal phase high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), electrophoresis, and size-exclusion HPLC.

Abstract
SunBio1 (SB1) is a novel polyethylene glycol-bovine hemoglobin conjugate. It is a small molecule that shows high oxygen-delivery capacity, and exhibits extended plasma half-life compared to hemoglobin alone, thus reducing renal toxicity. The aim of the present study was to evaluate potential neuroprotective effects of SB1 using a rat middle cerebral artery occlusion model. The middle cerebral artery of male Sprague-Dawley rats was occluded with a thrombotic blood clot and SB1 was administered via intra-arterial infusion 5 min after the operation. Brain tissue was harvested after 2 h, and cerebral infarct volumes were calculated from coronal sections stained with 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride. Three to 6 days after the procedure, sub-groups of animals were subjected to an open field test and the Morris water maze to assess locomotor activity and learning/memory function. Thrombotic blood clots induced extensive brain infarction and edema; however, these were significantly reduced in SB1 treated animals. In addition, SB1 treatment increased locomotor activity in open field tests, and improved the learning/memory deficits caused by the thromboembolism. These results suggest that SB1 has neuroprotective effects against ischemic brain injury caused by thromboembolism.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hemoglobin-vesicles (HbVs; diameter, 251 +/- 81 nm) are artificial O(2) carriers. Their efficacy for acute exchange transfusion has been characterized in animal models. However subsequent profiles of recovery involving the degradation of HbV in the reticuloendothelial system (RES) and hematopoiesis remain unknown. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS Isovolemic 40 percent exchange transfusion was performed in 60 male Wistar rats with HbV suspended in 5 g per dL recombinant human serum albumin (rHSA; HbV/rHSA, [Hb] = 8.6 g/dL), stored rat RBCs suspended in rHSA (sRBC/rHSA), or rHSA alone. Hematological and plasma biochemical analyses and histopathological examination focusing on the spleen were conducted for the subsequent 14 days. RESULTS The reduced hematocrit (Hct) level (26%) for the HbV/rHSA and rHSA groups returned to its original level (43%) in 7 days. Plasma erythropoietin was elevated in all groups: the rHSA group showed the highest value on Day 1 (321 +/- 123 mIU/mL) relating to the anemic conditions (HbV/rHSA, 153 +/- 22; sRBC/rHSA, 63 +/- 7; baseline, 21 +/- 3). Simultaneously, splenomegaly occurred in all the groups as HbV/rHSA > rHSA > sRBC/rHSA. Histopathologically, the accumulated HbV in the spleen was undetectable by Day 14, but hemosiderin was deposited in slight quantities for both the HbV/rHSA and sRBC/rHSA groups. Considerable amounts of erythroblasts were apparent in the spleens of both the rHSA and the HbV/rHSA groups. CONCLUSION HbVs were phagocytized and degraded in RES, a physiological compartment for the degradation of RBCs, and the elevated erythropoietic activity resulted in the complete recovery of Hct within 7 days in the rat model.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to assess several biochemical and physiological endpoint parameters alongside controlled hemorrhagic and recovery phases of chronically instrumented, conscious and unrestrained healthy rats. Male Sprague-Dawley rats (12-14 weeks; 430+/-20 g; n=22-18) were instrumented with a saline-perfused femoral arterial catheter and placed individually in a metabolic cage for up to 20 days, allowing instant assessments of the hemodynamic profile and blood and urine sampling for hematological profile and biochemical measurements to assess hepatic, renal and metabolic functions. In addition, body weight, food and water intake, and diuresis were monitored daily. After a 7-day stabilization period, the rats underwent severe and acute hemorrhagic shock (HS) (removal of 50% of total circulating blood volume), kept in hypovolemic shock for an ischemic period of 50 min and then resuscitated over 10 min. Gr. 1 was re-infused with autologous shed blood (AB; n=10) whereas Gr. 2 was infused 1:1 with a solution of sterile saline-albumin (SA; 7% w/v) (n=8-12). Ischemic rats recovered much more rapidly following AB re-infusion than those receiving SA. Normal hemodynamic and biochemical profiles were re-established after 24 h. Depressed blood pressure lasted 4-5 days in SA rats. The hematological profile in the SA resuscitated rats was even more drastically affected. Circulating plasma concentrations of hemoglobin (-40%), hematocrit (-50%), RBC (-40%) and platelets (-41%) counts were still severely decreased 24 h after the acute ischemic event whereas WBC counts increased 2.2-fold by day 4. It took 5-9 days for these profiles to normalize after ischemia-reperfusion with SA. Diuresis increased in both groups (by 45+/-7% on day 1) but presented distinct electrolytic profiles. Hepatic and renal functions were normal in AB rats whereas altered in SA rats. The present set of experiments enabled us to validate a model of HS in conscious rats and the use of an integrated in vivo platform as a valuable tool to characterize HS-induced stress and to test new classes of blood substitutes in real time, post-event, over days.
