Shape-Dependent Structural Order of Red Blood Cells.

Langmuir

January 2025

Department of Chemical Engineering, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48109, United States.

In this work, we show how shape matters for the ordering of red blood cells (RBCs) at a water-air interface for both artificially rigidified and sphered cells as a model system for hereditary spherocytosis. We report enhanced long-range order for spherical RBCs over disk-shaped RBCs arising from the increased local ordering of spheres relative to disks. We show that rigidity has a greater effect on the radial distribution of spherical vs disk-shaped RBCs by slightly increasing the average distance between cells.

Objective: This study aims to determine the genotypic characteristics of Hereditary Spherocytosis (HS) patients in Turkiye and to examine the correlation between genotype and phenotype.

Materials And Methods: Herein we had 18 patients who were admitted to pediatric hematology outpatient clinic with hemolytic anemia, jaundice, cholelithiasis, and splenomegaly. According to the Eber's classification, the patients' clinical presentations were categorized as mild, moderate, and severe.

Aim: To evaluate endocrinological changes and insulin secretion in patients with hereditary spherocytosis (HS).

Methods: The study included 30 patients with HS and 30 healthy control groups who were of similar age and gender. Routine tests, including hemogram, biochemical and hormonal tests were conducted on both patients with HS and the control group.

Chronic hemolysis potentially elevates the risk of gallstones in several types of congenital red blood cell (RBC) disorders. However, the magnitude of the risk is unknown. We investigate the risk of gallstone disease in congenital RBC disorder patients, compared with general population comparators.

Background: Gallstones are among the most common complications of hereditary spherocytosis (HS). In previous treatments, gallbladder-preserving cholelithotomy (GPC) has remained a subject of significant debate due primarily to potential risks of stone recurrence. However, past studies have often overlooked the impact of specific disease conditions on GPC.
