Abstract
Space radiation may cause DNA damage to cells and concern for the inheritance of mutations in offspring after deep space exploration. However, there is no way to study the long-term effects of space radiation using biological materials. Here, we developed a method to evaluate the biological effect of space radiation and examined the reproductive potential of mouse freeze-dried spermatozoa stored on the International Space Station (ISS) for the longest period in biological research. The space radiation did not affect sperm DNA or fertility after preservation on ISS, and many genetically normal offspring were obtained without reducing the success rate compared to the ground-preserved control. The results of ground x-ray experiments showed that sperm can be stored for more than 200 years in space. These results suggest that the effect of deep space radiation on mammalian reproduction can be evaluated using spermatozoa, even without being monitored by astronauts in Gateway.

Application of a Waveguide-Mode Sensor to Blood Testing for Hepatitis B Virus, Hepatitis C Virus, Human Immunodeficiency Virus and Treponema pallidum Infection. SENSORS 2019; 19:s19071729. [PMID: 30978941 PMCID: PMC6479333 DOI: 10.3390/s19071729] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2019] [Revised: 03/28/2019] [Accepted: 04/08/2019] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Testing for blood-transmitted infectious agents is an important aspect of safe medical treatment. During emergencies, such as significant earthquakes, many patients need surgical treatment and/or blood transfusion. Because a waveguide mode (WM) sensor can be used as a portable, on-site blood testing device in emergency settings, we have previously developed WM sensors for detection of antibodies against hepatitis B virus and hepatitis C virus and for forward ABO and Rh(D) and reverse ABO blood typing. In this study, we compared signal enhancement methods using secondary antibodies conjugated with peroxidase, a fluorescent dye, and gold nanoparticles, and found that the peroxidase reaction method offers superior sensitivity while gold nanoparticles provide the most rapid detection of anti-HBs antibody. Next, we examined whether we could apply a WM sensor with signal enhancement with peroxidase or gold nanoparticles to detection of antibodies against hepatitis C virus, human immunodeficiency virus and Treponema pallidum, and HBs antigen in plasma. We showed that a WM sensor can detect significant signals of these infectious agents within 30 min. Therefore, a portable device utilizing a WM sensor can be used for on-site blood testing of infectious agents in emergency settings.

Abstract
ABSTRACTThis study analyzed and assessed publication trends in articles on "disaster medicine," using scientometric analysis. Data were obtained from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) of Thomson Reuters on March 27, 2017. A total of 564 publications on disaster medicine were identified. There was a mild increase in the number of articles on disaster medicine from 2008 (n=55) to 2016 (n=83). Disaster Medicine and Public Health Preparedness published the most articles, the majority of articles were published in the United States, and the leading institute was Tohoku University. F. Della Corte, M. D. Christian, and P. L. Ingrassia were the top authors on the topic, and the field of public health generated the most publications. Terms analysis indicated that emergency medicine, public health, disaster preparedness, natural disasters, medicine, and management were the research hotspots, whereas Hurricane Katrina, mechanical ventilation, occupational medicine, intensive care, and European journals represented the frontiers of disaster medicine research. Overall, our analysis revealed that disaster medicine studies are closely related to other medical fields and provides researchers and policy-makers in this area with new insight into the hotspots and dynamic directions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Blood is a critical resource for responding to mass casualty incidents (MCI). The main framework for transfusion preparedness is the American Association of Blood Bank (AABB) Disaster Operation Handbook. A disaster preparedness plan for co-ordinated blood supply was issued in Italy in 2016. AIM To assess the level of preparedness of the Transfusion Centers (TS) in the Piedmont region, to evaluate the applicability of AABB checklist and to evaluate the application of the Italian plan. MATERIALS AND METHODS We surveyed all the Regional Transfusion Centers (TS) using the AABB checklist, addressing 74 priority action items grouped according to 16 preparedness domains. The Italian 2016 plan has been considered the regulatory cut-off and hospitals were stratified based on the type and the TS workload. A principal component analysis (PCA) was conducted to summarize the variance among centres. RESULTS Twenty-one out of 25 TS agreed to participate. Eighty-one % were at high and 18% were at medium level of preparedness. All but two centres were above the cut-off determined by the Italian law. A significant better preparedness was found in medium size hospitals compared to bigger and smaller hospitals. Other than that, the different TS showed a quite homogeneous distribution of preparedness variance. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrated a good level of preparedness in the Piemonte TS, above the Italian law requirements in the majority of TS. The AABB checklist could be used to highlight gaps and needs in the regional TS networks in case of emergency crisis.

Hess JR. Cascadia Rising: thoughts on a Seattle earthquake disaster exercise. Transfusion 2018; 58:2736-2740.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Cascadia subduction zone off the US Pacific Northwest coast produces a Force 9 earthquake once every 300 years. Cascadia Rising was a regional disaster drill modeled on such an event. Western Washington State has 5 million people and one Level I trauma center. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS The blood response of the trauma center and region were modeled under the conditions laid down in the disaster scenario. The scenario assumed structural damage to the 1931 reinforced concrete building housing the trauma hospital transfusion service with loss of electricity, data services, and water. The regional blood center, in a newer building located six blocks away, suffered less disruption. The regional blood inventory is in a blood component manufacturing facility 18 miles south of downtown. RESULTS At best and at risk to life, the trauma center could issue universally compatible components at a rate of 60 components/hr from a damaged but still accessible transfusion service. Usable inventory would be expended in 4 hours with no clear mechanism and rules for resupply. The regional center has additional group O red blood cells and AB or A plasma to sustain that rate of usage for several more hours but no protocols for reestablishing communication or "push" resupply. Regional resources will be gone in less than a day. CONCLUSIONS After a major Cascadia earthquake, blood resources may fail immediately, but even with luck, local resources used emergently at maximal issue rates will last 4 to 14 hours.© 2018 AABB.

Abstract
Portable, on-site blood typing methods will help provide life-saving blood transfusions to patients during an emergency or natural calamity, such as significant earthquakes. We have previously developed waveguide-mode (WM) sensors for forward ABO and Rh(D) blood typing and detection of antibodies against hepatitis B virus and hepatitis C virus. In this study, we evaluated a WM-sensor for reverse ABO blood typing. Since reverse ABO blood typing is a method for detection of antibodies against type A and type B oligosaccharide antigens on the surface of red blood cells (RBCs), we fixed a synthetic type A or type B trisaccharide antigen on the sensor chip of the WM sensor. We obtained significant changes in the reflectance spectra from a WM sensor on type A antigen with type B plasma and type O plasma and on type B antigen with type A plasma and type O plasma, and no spectrum changes on type A antigen or type B antigen with type AB plasma. Signal enhancement with the addition of a peroxidase reaction failed to increase the sensitivity for detection on oligosaccharide chips. By utilizing hemagglutination detection using regent type A and type B RBCs, we successfully determined reverse ABO blood groups with higher sensitivity compared to a method using oligosaccharide antigens. Thus, functionality of a portable device utilizing a WM sensor can be expanded to include reverse ABO blood typing and, in combination with forward ABO typing and antivirus antibody detection, may be useful for on-site blood testing in emergency settings.

Detection of antibodies against hepatitis B virus surface antigen and hepatitis C virus core antigen in plasma with a waveguide-mode sensor. J Biosci Bioeng 2017; 123:760-764. [PMID: 28190739 DOI: 10.1016/j.jbiosc.2017.01.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/31/2016] [Accepted: 01/10/2017] [Indexed: 01/06/2023]
Abstract
In large-scale disasters, such as huge significant earthquakes, on-site examination for blood typing and infectious disease screening will be very helpful to save lives of victims who need surgical treatment and/or blood transfusion. However, physical damage, such as building collapse, electric power failure and traffic blockage, disrupts the capacity of the medical system. Portable diagnostic devices are useful in such cases of emergency. In this study, we evaluated a waveguide-mode sensor for detection of anti-hepatitis virus antibodies. First, we examined whether we can detect antigen-antibody interaction on a sensor chip immobilized hepatitis B virus surface (HBs) antigen and hepatitis C virus (HCV) core antigen using monoclonal mouse antibodies for HBs antigen and HCV core antigen. We obtained significant changes in the reflectance spectra, which indicate specific antigen-antibody interaction for anti-HBs antibody and anti-HCV antibody. Next, we examined the effect of horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibody using aminoethyl carbazole as the peroxidase substrate and found that the colorimetric reaction increases detection sensitivity for anti-HBs antibody more than 300 times. Finally, we successfully detected anti-HBs antibody in human blood samples with an enhancing method using a peroxidase reaction. Thus, a portable device utilizing a waveguide-mode sensor may be applied to on-site blood testing in emergency settings.
