Abstract
Background Acute chest syndrome (ACS) is the main cause of morbi-mortality in patients with sickle-cell disease in the intensive care unit (ICU). ACS definition encompasses many types of lung damage, making early detection of the most severe forms challenging. We aimed to describe ACS-related lung ultrasound (LU) patterns and determine LU performance to assess ACS outcome. Results We performed a prospective cohort study including 56 ICU patients hospitalized for ACS in a tertiary university hospital (Paris, France). LU and bedside spirometry were performed at admission (D0) and after 48 h (D2). Complicated outcome was defined by the need for transfusion of ≥ 3 red blood cell units, mechanical ventilation, ICU length-of-stay > 5 days, or death. A severe loss of lung aeration was observed in all patients, predominantly in inferior lobes, and was associated with decreased vital capacity (22 [15–33]% of predicted). The LU Score was 24 [20–28] on D0 and 20 [15–24] on D2. Twenty-five percent of patients (14/56) had a complicated outcome. Neither oxygen supply, pain score, haemoglobin, LDH and bilirubin values at D0; nor their change at D2, differed regarding patient outcome. Conversely, LU re-aeration score and spirometry change at D2 improved significantly more in patients with a favourable outcome. A negative LU re-aeration score at D2 was an independent marker of severity of ACS in ICU. Conclusions ACS is associated with severe loss of lung aeration, whose resolution is associated with favourable outcome. Serial bedside LU may accurately and early identify ACS patients at risk of complicated outcome.

Sickle erythrocytes and platelets augment lung leukotriene synthesis with downregulation of anti-inflammatory proteins: relevance in the pathology of the acute chest syndrome. Pulm Circ 2015; 4:482-95.

Abstract
Initiation, progression, and resolution of vaso-occlusive pain episodes in sickle cell disease (SCD) have been recognized as reperfusion injury, which provokes an inflammatory response in the pulmonary circulation. Some 5-lipoxygenase (5-lox) metabolites are potent vasoconstrictors in the pulmonary circulation. We studied stimulation of production of the inflammatory eicosanoids leukotrienes (LTs) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) by isolated rat lungs perfused with sickle (HbSS) erythrocytes. Our hypothesis is that HbSS erythrocytes produce more LTs than normal (HbAA) erythrocytes, which can induce vaso-occlusive episodes in SCD patients. Lung perfusates were collected at specific time points and purified by high-pressure liquid chromatography, and LTC4 and PGE2 contents were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Rat lung explants were also cultured with purified HbAA and HbSS peptides, and 5-lox, cyclooxygenase 1/2, and platelet-activating factor receptor (PAFR) proteins were measured by Western blotting, while prostacyclin and LTs produced by cultured lung explants were measured by ELISA. Lung weight gain and blood gas data were not different among the groups. HbSS-perfused lungs produced more LTC4 and PGE2 than HbAA-perfused lungs: 10.40 ± 0.62 versus 0.92 ± 0.2 ng/g dry lung weight (mean ± SEM; P = 0.0001) for LTC4. Inclusion of autologous platelets (platelet-rich plasma) elevated LTC4 production to 12.6 ± 0.96 and 7 ± 0.60 ng/g dry lung weight in HbSS and HbAA perfusates, respectively. HbSS lungs also expressed more 5-lox and PAFR. The data suggest that HbSS erythrocytes and activated platelets in patient's pulmonary microcirculation will enhance the synthesis and release of the proinflammatory mediators LTC4 and PGE2, both of which may contribute to onset of the acute chest syndrome in SCD.

Abstract
Activated neutrophils increase erythrocyte phosphatidylserine (PS) exposure. PS-exposed sickle red blood cells (SSRBCs) are more adhesive to vascular endothelium than non-PS-exposed cells. An increase in SSRBC fetal hemoglobin (HbF) concentration has been associated with improved rheology and decreased numbers of vasoocclusive episodes. This study examined the effects of HbF, PS-exposed SSRBCs, and chronic hydroxyurea (HU) treatment on activated neutrophil-mediated SSRBC retention/adherence in isolated-perfused rat lungs. Lungs were perfused with erythrocyte suspensions from 1) individuals homozygous for hemoglobin S with 0-7% HbF (SS), 2) with > or =8% HbF (SS + F), and 3) individuals homozygous for hemoglobin S treated with HU therapy for > or =1 yr (SS + HU). Retention of SSRBCs from the SS + HU group was significantly less than that seen in both the SS and SS + F groups. No difference was observed between the SS and SS + F groups. The percentage of HbF and F-cells did not differ between the SS + F and SS + HU groups. At baseline, the proportion of PS-exposed SSRBCs was not different between the SS and SS + HU groups. However, SSRBC treatment with activated neutrophil supernatant caused a twofold increase in PS-exposed SSRBCs in the SS control and no change in the SS + HU group. We conclude that 1) HU attenuates SSRBC retention/adherence in the pulmonary circulation seen in response neutrophil activation, 2) HU stabilizes SSRBC membrane PS, and 3) HU attenuation SSRBC retention/adherence in the pulmonary circulation occurs through a mechanism(s) independent of HbF.

Abstract
Activated neutrophils (ANs) increase sickle red blood cell (SRBC) retention/adhesion in the pulmonary circulation. This study investigates the role of neutrophil activation and SRBC retention/adhesion in the pulmonary circulation through a mechanism that involves increasing phosphatidylserine (PS) exposure on the external membrane surface of the SRBCs (PS-exposed). With the use of flow cytometry, double-labeling studies were performed with a calcium-dependent phospholipid-binding protein, annexin V-fluorescein isothiocyanate fluorescence, and the erythroid-specific marker glycophorin A to assess for the percentage of PS-exposed normal and SRBCs at baseline and after coincubation with ANs. Additional studies were performed that assessed retention/adhesion of SRBCs in the isolated rat lung using (51)Cr-labeled SRBC alone, SRBC + AN, SRBC + AN + zileuton, and SRBC + AN + annexin V. Specific activities of lung and perfusate were measured, and the number of retained SRBCs per gram lung was calculated. Flow cytometry demonstrated that ANs increased the percentage of PS-exposed normal and SRBCs. The 5-lipoxygenase inhibitor zileuton attenuated AN-mediated increases in PS-exposed SRBCs and decreased SRBC retention/adherence in the lung on histological sections. Similarly, in the isolated perfused lung and in histological lung sections, retention/adherence of SRBCs cloaked with annexin V was attenuated in the presence of ANs. We conclude that ANs enhance the adhesion of SRBCs to vascular endothelium by increasing red blood cell membrane externalization of PS. Zileuton attenuation of AN-mediated SRBC PS externalization suggests that a 5-lipoxygenase product(s), secreted by the AN, plays a vital role in altering the adhesive properties of PS-exposed SRBCs to vascular endothelium.

Abstract
The phenotypic expression of sickle cell anaemia varies greatly among patients and longitudinally in the same patient. It influences all aspects of the life of affected individuals including social interactions, intimate relationships, family relations, peer interactions, education, employment, spirituality and religiosity. The clinical manifestations of sickle cell anaemia are protean and fall into three major categories: anaemia and its sequelae;pain and related issues; andorgan failure including infection. Recent studies on the pathogenesis of sickle cell anaemia have centred on the sequence of events that occur between polymerisation of deoxy haemoglobin (Hb) S and vaso-occlusion. Cellular dehydration, inflammatory response and reperfusion injury seem to be important pathophysiological mechanisms. Management of sickle cell anaemia continues to be primarily palliative in nature, including supportive, symptomatic and preventative approaches to therapy. Empowerment and education are the major aspects of supportive care. Symptomatic management includes pain management, blood transfusion and treatment of organ failure. Pain managment should follow certain priniciples that include assessment, individualisation of therapy and proper utilisation of opioid and nonopioid analgesics in order to acheive adequate pain relief. Blood selected for transfusion should be leuko-reduced and phenotypically matched for the C, E and Kell antigens. Exchange transfusion is indicated in patients who are transfused chronically in order to prevent or delay the onset of iron-overload. Acute chest syndrome is the most common form of organ failure and its management should be agressive, including adequate ventilation, multiple antibacterials and simple or exchange blood transfusion depending on its severity. Preventitive therapy includes prophylactic penicillin in infants and children, blood transfusion (preferably exchange transfusion) in patients with stroke, and hydroxyurea in patients with frequent acute painful episodes. Bone marrow and cord blood transplantation have been successful modalities of curative therapy in selected children with sickle cell anaemia. Newer approaches to preventative therapy include cellular rehydration with agents that inhibit the Gardos channel or the KCl co-transport channel. Curative gene therapy continues to be investigational at the level of the test tube and transgenic mouse models.

Abstract
This study investigates the role of the activated polymorphonuclear cell (APMN) products on sickle red blood cell (SRBC) retention/adherence in the pulmonary circulation. Isolated rat lungs were perfused with (51)Cr-labeled normal RBCs (NRBC) or SRBCs (10% hematocrit) suspensions +/- PMNs. Specific activities of lung and perfusate were measured and retention (the number of SRBC/g lung) was calculated. SRBC retention was 3.5 times greater than NRBC retention. PMN activation was required to increase SRBC retention. Supernatants from APMN increased SRBC retention, which suggested soluble products such as oxidants, PAF, and/or leukotriene (LTB(4)) are involved. Heat inactivation of PMN NADPH oxidase had no effect on retention. Whereas neither platelet-activating factor (PAF) nor LTB(4) (secreted by APMN) increased SRBC retention, PAF+LTB(4) did. The PAF antagonist, WEB-2170, attenuated SRBC retention mediated by PAF+LTB(4) and APMNs. Similarly, zileuton (5-lipoxygenase inhibitor) attenuated APMN-mediated SRBC retention. We conclude the concomitant release of PAF and LTB(4) from APMN is involved in the initiation of microvascular occlusion by SRBCs in the perfused rat lung.
