The results of examinations of reticulocytes in blood samples of 12 patients with the confirmed diagnosis of B12-deficit anemia and of 20 virtually healthy subjects (control group) by means of the GEN-S hematological analyzer (Beckman-Coulter) are described in the paper. Typical changes of the reticulocyte parameters are defined and their dynamics (with treatment by Vitamin B12) is studied. It was established that the additional parameters of the reticulocyte analysis, characterizing the quantity of immature reticulocytes and the fraction of immature reticulocytes, increase by 3 days before the total quantity of erythrocytes increases, which means that the above parameters can be used earlier as criteria in evaluating the treatment efficiency.

Introduction: Primary bone marrow diffuse large B-cell lymphoma is a rare clinical entity, and the "bone marrow-liver-spleen" type of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma is rarer, with only a few published cases in literature. Though bone marrow-liver-spleen-type diffuse large B-cell lymphoma has unique presentations such as fever, cytopenias, and hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, no cases with cold autoimmune hemolytic anemia have been reported.

Case Presentation: A 39-year-old Sri Lankan woman, previously healthy, presented with shortness of breath, productive cough, and fever for 4 days.

Biological age, which reflects the physiological state of an individual, offers a better predictive value than chronological age for age-related diseases and mortality. Nonetheless, determining accurate functional features of biological age remains challenging due to the multifactorial nature of aging. Here, we established a unique mouse cohort comprising 1576 male and female outbred SWISS mice subjected or not to high-fat, high-sucrose diet to investigate multiorgan/system biological aging throughout adulthood.

Impact of administration routes and dose frequency on the toxicology of SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines in mice model.

Arch Toxicol

December 2024

Department of Experiment Animal Research, Biomedical Research Institute, Seoul National University Hospital, Seoul, Republic of Korea.

The increasing use of SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines has raised concerns about their potential toxicological effects, necessitating further investigation to ensure their safety. To address this issue, we aimed to evaluate the toxicological effects of SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccine candidates formulated with four different types of lipid nanoparticles in ICR mice, focusing on repeated doses and administration routes. We conducted an extensive analysis in which mice received the mRNA vaccine candidates intramuscularly (50 μg/head) twice at 2-week intervals, followed by necropsy at 2 and 14 dpsi (days post-secondary injection).

Background: Nucleated red blood cells (nRBCs) are increased by disease processes and hematopoietic stress.

Objectives: To evaluate the utility of nRBCs as a marker of disease severity and prognosis in dogs with systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS).

Animals: Sixty-two client-owned dogs met the criteria of SIRS without anemia.

Influence of volatile anaesthetics on haematology and clinical chemistry in ferrets.

BMC Vet Res

December 2024

Department for Laboratory Animal Science, University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf, Martinistrasse 52, 20246, Hamburg, Germany.

Background: During our years of working with ferrets in our laboratory animal facility, we observed that in several healthy young female ferrets, signs of anaemia could be detected during the entry examination although none of the ferrets expressed any clinical symptoms at the time of blood withdrawal. We aimed to compare the influence of inhalation anaesthesia with isoflurane and sevoflurane to restrained, awake ferrets on several blood parameters. After arrival at our facility all ferrets received a hormone chip to subdue oestrus.
