Abstract
BACKGROUND Blood transfusion is an important supportive care for high-risk neuroblastoma. When the number of transfusions increases, transfusion-associated adverse reactions may be more problematic. However, the factors determining the degree of myelosuppression and the number of transfusions during chemotherapy for high-risk neuroblastoma remain unclear. MATERIALS AND METHODS We investigated patient factors determining the number of required transfusions in 15 high-risk neuroblastoma patients who received five courses of chemotherapy. Clinical data, cytokine profile and colony-forming assay with bone marrow samples at diagnosis were analysed. RESULTS The required number of transfusions of both platelets and erythrocytes decreased once in the second course and then increased as the course progressed. The variability among cases increased as the chemotherapy course progressed. In cases of low peripheral blood platelet count and lower fibrinogen level at diagnosis, the number of platelet transfusions was higher during chemotherapy. In contrast, there was a negative correlation between the forming ability of granulocyte-macrophage or erythroid colonies and the number of erythrocyte transfusions in the latter period. CONCLUSION In the early stages of chemotherapy, bone marrow infiltration in neuroblastoma and/or coagulopathy complication may cause thrombocytopenia and requirement of platelet transfusion; conversely, in the later stages, the number of erythrocyte transfusions may be defined by the patient's inherent hematopoietic ability. These factors may be useful in predicting the required number of transfusions.

Abstract
Blood transfusion is an important form of supportive care in children; however, transfusion-associated adverse reactions (TARs) are a problem. As with adults, allergic transfusion reactions (ATRs) and febrile non-hemolytic transfusion reactions (FNHTRs) are major TARs, and the frequency of ATRs caused by platelet concentrate (PC) tends to be particularly high. The plasma component of the blood product is thought to be a major factor in the onset of TARs such as ATR and FNHTR. By contrast, in children, age, underlying disease, and number of blood transfusions may be relevant patient-related factors. Although acetaminophen or diphenhydramine may be used prophylactically to prevent TARs, there is no clear evidence of their effectiveness. Volume-reduced PC is used to prevent TARs; however, it may be difficult to maintain the quality of platelets. Plasma-replaced PC stored with platelet additive solution raises the concern that TARs cannot be completely prevented by residual plasma. Washed PC removes most of the plasma, so it can effectively prevent ATR and FNHTR. The recent development of platelet additive solution [M-sol, bicarbonate Ringer's solution supplemented with acid-citrate-dextrose formula A (BRS-A)] in Japan has enabled the maintenance of the quality of platelets for long periods. The clinical use of washed PC in Japan has therefore progressed. Washed PC with M-sol or BRS-A for pediatric patients can effectively prevent TARs without diminishing the transfusion effect. The supply of washed PC has begun from the Japanese Red Cross Society, and it has become possible to use washed PC at all medical institutions in Japan.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Plasma reduction in platelet concentrate (PC) products has been reported to prevent large volume load and transfusion-related adverse reactions (TRARs). However, volume reduction might be associated with a poor transfusion response because of a deterioration in platelet (PLT) quality. Because PLT quality control and transfusion responses for recently washed PCs using PLT additive solutions are superior, we investigated the clinical safety and transfusion efficacy of volume-reduced washed PCs in pediatric patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS We prepared a simplified resuspended PC product (RPC) as a washed PC. Regular RPC (R-RPC) included equivalent volumes of bicarbonate Ringer's solution and anticoagulant citrate dextrose solution A (BRS-A) as the resuspension solution. Half RPC (H-RPC) was prepared by adding a half volume of BRS-A. Twenty-four pediatric patients were scheduled for transfusions with R-RPC and H-RPC up to 4 times. R-RPC was transfused 42 times into 24 patients. H-RPC was transfused 41 times into 23 patients. RESULTS Neither product was observed to cause TRARs. Although the calculated PLT recovery for H-RPC was significantly reduced, the posttransfusion corrected count increment (24 h) did not differ. Moreover, similar results were observed for vital signs during transfusion. CONCLUSION Volume-reduced washed PC can be transfused without causing TRARs, differences in vital signs, or inferior transfusion responses. Volume-reduced washed PC also provides the advantages of shortened transfusion times and reduced volume loads. Although a standard technique for stable resuspension is necessary, volume-reduced washed PC may be a beneficial option for children, including neonates, or individuals with cardiovascular or renal problems.
