Abstract:

The aim of the experiment was to evaluate the impact of selenium supplementation on white blood cell parameters in the blood of ewes. The total white blood cell (WBC) and differentiation of leukocytes in blood smear were detected by a microscopic analysis, and the CD4<sup>+</sup> and CD8<sup>+</sup> subsets were detected by flow cytometry. A decrease in the count of WBC was recorded during pregnancy; it was statistically significant only in the group supplemented with organic selenium. In the postpartal period there was a statistically significant increase in the percentages of CD4<sup>+</sup> and CD8<sup>+</sup> subsets but differences between the groups were not statistically significant. The results of the experiment documented that the supplementation of different forms of selenium did not markedly influence the dynamics of blood parameters in non-pregnant, pregnant and lactating ewes if the intake of vitamins and other essential microelements was adequate.

Abstract:

: Swine are here introduced to biodosimetry in an attempt to develop a large animal model allowing for comparison of <I>in vitro</I> experiments with the <I>in vivo</I> processes occurring after exposure to gamma radiation. This work investigates the radiosensitivity of the B cell compartment in peripheral blood. Four-week-old piglets were irradiated using the whole body protocol or full blood samples were irradiated <I>in vitro</I> in the dose range of 0–10 Gy. Relative radioresistance of B cell subpopulations and subsets was determined by measuring their relative numbers in leukocyte preparations at selected time intervals after irradiation using two color immunophenotyping and flow cytometry. Porcine B cells represent the most radiosensitive lymphocyte population in peripheral blood. Among B cell subpopulations and subsets investigated, the CD21+SWC7+ and CD21+CD1+ cells are highly radiosensitive and possess biodosimetric potential, at least in the range of low doses. Differences between cultures irradiated <I>in vitro</I> and lymphocyte dynamics in peripheral blood of irradiated animals clearly document the limits of <I>in vitro</I> data extrapolation in biodosimetry. We have shown that pigs can successfully be used in radiobiology and experimental biodosimetry due mainly to their availability, size and a relatively broad spectrum of available immunoreagents for lymphocyte classification.

Abstract:

Stem cell therapy gained momentum for the past three decades in therapeutics. Alternative strategies are indispensable for the treatment of many diseases in the present scenario due to side effects of synthetic chemicals as drugs. Mesenchymal cells of different origin have been in use with good results, though ethical issues and limited availability is a drawback. Novel menstrual blood mesenchymal stems cells prove to be a wealth out of waste is a boon in therapeutics. In this review we bring a bird’s eye view of different diseases treated with menstrual blood mesenchymal stem cells with positive results. Evolution in the use of these cells more and more will be a big relief to many who suffer with side effects of drugs.

Abstract:

Background: High blood pressure (BP) is a risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. While BP is regulated by the function of kidney, vasculature, and sympathetic nervous system, recent experimental data suggest that immune cells may play a role in hypertension. Methods: We studied the relationship between major white blood cell types and blood pressure in the UK Biobank population and used Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses using the ≈750 000 UK-Biobank/International Consortium of Blood Pressure-Genome-Wide Association Studies to examine which leukocyte populations may be causally linked to BP. Results: A positive association between quintiles of lymphocyte, monocyte, and neutrophil counts, and increased systolic BP, diastolic BP, and pulse pressure was observed (eg, adjusted systolic BP mean±SE for 1st versus 5th quintile respectively: 140.13±0.08 versus 141.62±0.07 mm Hg for lymphocyte, 139.51±0.08 versus 141.84±0.07 mm Hg for monocyte, and 137.96±0.08 versus 142.71±0.07 mm Hg for neutrophil counts; all P <10 –50 ). Using 121 single nucleotide polymorphisms in MR, implemented through the inverse-variance weighted approach, we identified a potential causal relationship of lymphocyte count with systolic BP and diastolic BP (causal estimates: 0.69 [95% CI, 0.19–1.20] and 0.56 [95% CI, 0.23–0.90] of mm Hg per 1 SD genetically elevated lymphocyte count, respectively), which was directionally concordant to the observational findings. These inverse-variance weighted estimates were consistent with other robust MR methods. The exclusion of rs3184504 SNP in the SH2B3 locus attenuated the magnitude of the signal in some of the MR analyses. MR in the reverse direction found evidence of positive effects of BP indices on counts of monocytes, neutrophils, and eosinophils but not lymphocytes or basophils. Subsequent MR testing of lymphocyte count in the context of genetic correlation with renal function or resting and postexercise heart rate demonstrated a positive association of lymphocyte count with urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio. Conclusions: Observational and genetic analyses demonstrate a concordant, positive and potentially causal relationship of lymphocyte count with systolic BP and diastolic BP.

Abstract:

For a long time, red blood cells have been known to have a procoagulant effect on hemostatic system. This effect was usually ascribed to either general increase of blood viscosity due to increased hematocrit value, RBCs' transport-enhancing effect on platelets adhesion under flow conditions. It is known that red blood cells can have a procoagulant effect on the hemostasis system. This effect is usually explained either by a general increase in blood viscosity due to an increase in hematocrit, or by the effect of red blood cells on the transport of platelets to the vessel wall and their further adhesion. However, recent studies indicate that the role of red blood cells in blood coagulation is much wider. In this review, we will consider the main mechanisms currently known, through which red blood cells can influence the processes of hemostasis and thrombosis in normal and pathological conditions.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study is to see how low-power red laser helium-neon and diode lasers with wavelengths of 632.8 nm and 650 nm, respectively, affect some human blood sample factors like viscosity HCT, Platelets PLT, White blood cells WBC, white blood lymphocytes LYM, neutrophilic white blood cells NEUT, red blood cells RBC, and Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate ESR. Blood samples were collected from healthy people and placed in EDTA-contained tubes, blood tests were performed on control samples in a blood analyzer, and the samples were divided into two parts and split into two equal tubes to be irradiated with diode and helium-neon lasers for 15 minutes. Using a blood analyzer, measurements were taken immediately after irradiation. The results of this analysis indicated a decrease in the number of white blood cells (WBC), red blood cells (RBC), and blood viscosity (HCT), as well as a significant rise in the number of neutrophils (NEUT) and platelets (PLT) and increase in the Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate ESR after exposure to both helium-neon and diode lasers. This suggests that It is possible to make recommendations, a low-power laser could be used to stimulate blood cells so a laser could be used to treat blood viscosity. Because of the increasing concentrations of free intracellular Calcium ions and the action of laser on the plasma composition, it is acceptable to suggest that laser irradiation can lower the number of white blood cells (WBC), red blood cells (RBC), and the reason of that is because of a mechanical change in the blood such as a change in the pores of the surfaces and their fixation.

Abstract:

The structure of the medical image analysis system is considered. The algorithm of the blood cell recognition system is given. Formulated the main tasks to be solved during the morphological analysis of blood. The requirements for the algorithm in determining the leukocyte formula and the detection of blood corpuscles on a smear were determined. A model of color-brightness characteristics is proposed for describing typical images of a blood smear. The threshold values of the sizes of objects are determined when searching for cells. A histogram of the brightness of a typical field of view was investigated. A two-step algorithm for detecting blood cells is described, as well as an algorithm for constructing a dividing line on the plane of relative colors. The results of experiments on real preparations are given. The causes of detection errors are considered.

Abstract:

Mononuclear cells from rabbit bone marrow were cultured for 14 days in cell-free medium for hematopoietic cells together with iron oxid nanoparticles, and then they were processed by technique for free cells for TEM (transmission electron microscopy). Staining with turnbull blue was used for the detection of iron using a light microscope. It was shown that iron nanoparticles were incorporated into the cytoplasm of mononuclear cells during 14 days cultivation. Here they were localized within different sized vacuoles with distinct membranes.

Abstract:

Abstract In order to clarify the pathophysiology of immune state after stem cell transplantation and investigate the interaction of immune competent cells each other, quantitative analysis of blood plasmacytoid dendritic cell (pDC), myeloid dendritic cell (mDC) 1, mDC2 and regulatory T cells (Treg) was performed in normal persons and the patients who received allogeneic stem cell transplantation. pDC was identified as CD1c (BDCA-1)− and CD303 ((BDCA-2)+ cells by flow cytometry analysis. The identified pDC was confirmed by the additional characters of CD11c−, CD4+, CD304 (BDCA-4)+ and CD123high. mDC1 was identified as lineage (CD3, CD14 and CD19)− and CD1c (BDCA-1)+ cells. The identified mDC1 was confirmed by the additional characters of CD11c+++ and CD14−. mDC2 was identified as CD303 (BDCA-2)− and CD141 (BDCA-3)+ cells. The identified mDC2 was confirmed by the additional characters of FcR (CD32 and CD64)−. Treg was identified as surface CD4+ and cytoplasmic Foxp3+ cells. The identified Treg was confirmed by the additional characters of CD25high, CD64L+ and CTLA-4+. Sixty seven blood samples from normal persons and the patients who received stem cell transplantation were analyzed. Normal values were demonstrated as follows; pDC is 0.30 + 0.15% of blood mononuclear cells (MNC), mDC1 is 0.60 + 0.21% of blood MNC, mDC2 is 0.06 + 0.06% of blood MNC, and Treg is 1.52 + 1.27% of blood lymphocytes. Cell counts per ml of each cells were calculated from percentages of each cell fraction and the number of mononuclear cells, and the volume of the blood sample. As to the patients with stem cell transplantation, the percentages of pDC, mDC1, mDC2 and Treg were distributed in a wider range than normal values, covering normal limits. Although the values of pDC, mDC1 and mDC2 were not correlated with the durations after stem cell transplantation or the presence of GVHD, Treg cell counts were significantly correlated with the durations post transplantation. The longer duration from the day of stem cell transplantation to blood sampling, the more Treg cells were present in the blood of the transplanted patients. The percentages of pDC, mDC1, mDC2 and Treg were investigated as to their correlationship with values of blood monocyte, which percentage was evaluated as cells in monocyte area of FSC/SSC dot plot figures of flow cytometry. Although the correlation between mDC1 or mDC2 and blood monocyte counts was not identified, the percentages and cell counts of blood pDC were demonstrated to have a significant correlation with blood monocyte counts (p<0.0001) in normal persons and the transplanted patients. In addition, it was identified that percentages of blood Treg cells in lymphocyte fraction or blood Treg cell counts were significantly correlated with blood monocyte counts (p<0.0001) in normal persons and the patients. The present findings that blood monocyte counts are associated with the frequency of blood pDC and Treg cells suggested that monocytes or monocyte-related cytokines may have some roles in generation and regulation of blood pDC or Treg cells.
