Objective: Leucocyte filtration of salvaged blood has been suggested to prevent patients from receiving activated leucocytes during auto-transfusion in cardiac surgery. This study examines whether leucocyte filtration of salvaged blood affects the red blood cell (RBC) function and whether there is a difference between filtration of the concentrated and diluted blood on RBC function.
Methods: Forty patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass were randomly divided into a group receiving leucocyte filtration of concentrated blood (High-Hct, n=20) and another group receiving leucocyte filtration of the diluted blood (Low-Hct, n=20). During operation, all the salvaged blood, as well as the residual blood, from the heart-lung machine was filtered. In the High-Hct group, blood was concentrated with a cell saver prior to filtration, whereas in the Low-Hct group, blood was filtered without concentration. RBC function was represented by RBC aggregation and deformability measured by a laser-assisted optical rotational cell analyser and by the RBC 2,3-diphosphoglycerate (2,3-DPG) and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) contents with conventional biochemical tests.
Results: Leucocyte filtration of diluted blood with a low haematocrit (14+/-4%) did not affect RBC function. However, when the concentrated blood with a high haematocrit (69+/-12%) was filtered, there was a reduction of ATP content in RBCs after passing through the filter (from 1.45+/-0.57 micromol g(-1) Hb to 0.92+/-0.75 micromol g(-1) Hb, p<0.05). For patients who received the concentrated blood, their in vivo RBC function did not differ from those who received diluted blood.
Conclusions: Leucocyte filtration of the diluted salvaged blood during cardiac surgery does not affect RBC function, but it tends to deplete the ATP content of RBCs as the salvaged blood has been concentrated prior to filtration.

Platelet transfusion is a lifesaving therapy intended to prevent and treat bleeding. However, in addition to platelets, a typical unit also contains a large volume of supernatant that accumulates multiple pro-inflammatory contaminants, including residual leukocytes, microaggregates, microparticles, antibodies, and cytokines. Infusion of this supernatant is responsible for virtually all adverse reactions to platelet transfusions.

Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder marked by the degeneration of dopaminergic neurons and clinical symptoms such as tremors, rigidity, and slowed movements. A key feature of Parkinson's disease is the accumulation of misfolded α-synuclein, forming insoluble Lewy bodies in the substantia nigra pars compacta, which contributes to neurodegeneration. These α-synuclein aggregates may act as autoantigens, leading to T-cell-mediated neuroinflammation and contributing to dopaminergic cell death.

Purpose: Systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) was an indicator which could reflect immune response and systemic inflammation. We aim to explore the relationship between SII and diabetic nephropathy (DN).
Methods: SII was calculated as neutrophil count × platelet count/lymphocyte count.

Unlabelled: Autologous blood obtained during hardware reinfusion can be bacterially contaminated with skin microflora in most cases (up to 90%) regardless of the area of surgical intervention. Increased volume of washing solution for red blood cell management, white blood cell filtration and X-ray irradiation do not always provide complete decontamination.
Objective: To analyze the effectiveness of adding cefuroxime to extracorporeal circuit during hardware blood reinfusion.
