Performing acute normovolemic hemodilution reduces needs for transfusion of stored homologous blood, exposure of patients to homologous blood and incidence of diseases transmitted by transfusion. Apart from that it provides significant quantities of immunologically best, completely fresh blood and/or some blood components necessary for transfusion. Apart from the latest literature data, in this paper represent the first experiences considering acute normovolemic hemodilution performed in 20 patients operated for having low localized colon's neoplasm in whom amputation of rectum was performed. 780 ml of blood was exfunded from each patient with simultaneous infusion of three times larger volume of lactated Ringer's solution (In 10 patients) one volume of Haemacell (in 5 patients) and one volume of Soludex 70 (in 5 patients). Considering these patients 15600 ml autologous and 2500 ml of homologous blood was used up for transfusion.

Background: Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is a rare complement-driven acquired hemolytic anemia with specific presentations of hemoglobinuria, abdominal pain, fatigue, and thrombosis.

Objective: To review the current therapeutic strategies for PNH, including anti-complement therapy and allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (alloHCT), focusing on the tailoring of the approach to the disease subtype.

Results: The outcome of alloHCT varies depending on disease severity, thrombotic history, and response to prior therapies.

Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) constitutes a critical therapeutic approach for patients with malignant hematological disorders. Nevertheless, acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), one of the most prevalent complications associated with HSCT, remains a leading contributor to non-relapse mortality. In recent years, there has been an increasing focus on the interplay between chemokines and their receptors in the context of acute GVHD.

Kidney transplantation is the treatment of choice for end-stage organ failure. To improve transplantation outcomes, particularly of "marginal" organs from extended criteria donors (ECD), attempts have been made to therapeutically modulate donor or graft pre-transplantation. Anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) has a history as lymphocyte-depleting, immunosuppressive drug for treating rejection episodes post transplantation.

Homologous recombination (HR) is important for DNA damage tolerance during replication. The yeast Shu complex, a conserved homologous recombination factor, prevents replication-associated mutagenesis. Here we examine how yeast cells require the Shu complex for coping with MMS-induced lesions during DNA replication.

Feedback loop centered on MAF1 reduces blood-brain barrier damage in sepsis-associated encephalopathy.

Cell Mol Biol Lett

January 2025

Department of Critical Care Medicine, Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital, Guangdong Academy of Medical Sciences, Southern Medical University, Guangzhou, China.

Background: A previous study found that MAF1 homolog, a negative regulator of RNA polymerase III (MAF1), protects the blood-brain barrier (BBB) in sepsis-associated encephalopathy (SAE); however, the related molecular mechanisms remain unclear.

Subjects And Methods: In this study, a rat sepsis model was constructed using the cecum ligation and puncture (CLP) method. In vitro, rat brain microvascular endothelial cells and astrocytes were stimulated with serum from the sepsis model rats.
