Abstract
A pre-transfusion crossmatch test is crucial for ensuring safe blood transfusions by identifying the compatibility between donor and recipient blood samples. Conventional tube methods for crossmatching have limitations, including subjectivity in result interpretation and the potential for human error. In this study, we evaluated the diagnostic performance of a new crossmatch test using Microscanner C3, which can overcome these shortcomings. The crossmatch test results using the method were obtained in 323 clinical samples. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and concordance rate of the crossmatch test using Microscanner C3 were 98.20%, 100.00%, 100.00%, 98.11%, and 99.07%, respectively. The diagnostic performance of the new system offers a promising alternative to conventional tube methods for pre-transfusion crossmatch testing. Microscanner C3 could also increase the automation, standardization, and accuracy of crossmatch tests. The crossmatch test using Microscanner C3 is thought to increase the efficiency and reliability in identifying blood samples suitable for transfusion, thereby improving patient safety and optimizing the use of blood products in clinical settings.

Abstract
Aside from their canonical role in hemostasis, it is increasingly recognized that platelets have inflammatory functions and can regulate both adaptive and innate immune responses. The main topic this review aims to cover is the proinflammatory effects and side effects of platelet transfusion. Platelets prepared for transfusion are subject to stress injury upon collection, preparation, and storage. With these types of stress, they undergo morphologic, metabolic, and functional modulations which are likely to induce platelet activation and the release of biological response modifiers (BRMs). As a consequence, platelet concentrates (PCs) accumulate BRMs during processing and storage, and these BRMs are ultimately transfused alongside platelets. It has been shown that BRMs present in PCs can induce immune responses and posttransfusion reactions in the transfusion recipient. Several recent reports within the transfusion literature have investigated the concept of platelets as immune cells. Nevertheless, current and future investigations will face the challenge of encompassing the immunological role of platelets in the scope of transfusion.

Lu M, Shevkoplyas SS. Dynamics of shape recovery by stored red blood cells during washing at the single cell level. Transfusion 2020; 60:2370-2378. [PMID: 32748970 DOI: 10.1111/trf.15979] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/31/2019] [Revised: 06/24/2020] [Accepted: 06/24/2020] [Indexed: 12/26/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Hypothermic storage transforms red blood cells (RBC) from smooth biconcave discocytes into increasingly spherical spiculated echinocytes and, ultimately, fragile spherocytes (S). Individual cells undergo this transformation at different rates, producing a heterogeneous mixture of RBCs at all stages of echinocytosis in each unit of stored blood. Here we investigated how washing (known to positively affect RBC properties) changes morphology of individual RBCs at the single-cell level. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS We tracked the change in shape of individual RBCs (n = 2870; drawn from six 4- to 6-week-old RBC units) that were confined in an array of microfluidic wells during washing in saline (n = 1095), 1% human serum albumin (1% HSA) solution (n = 999), and the autologous storage supernatant (control, n = 776). RESULTS Shape recovery proceeded through the disappearance of spicules followed by the progressive smoothening of the RBC contour, with the majority of changes occurring within the initial 10 minutes of being exposed to the washing solution. Approximately 57% of all echinocytes recovered by at least one morphologic class when washed in 1% HSA (36% for normal saline), with 3% of cells in late-stage echinocytosis restoring their discoid shape completely. Approximately one-third of all spherocytic cells were lysed in either washing solution. Cells washed in their autologous storage supernatant continued to deteriorate during washing. CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that the replacement of storage supernatant with a washing solution during washing induces actual shape recovery for RBCs in all stages of echinocytosis, except for S that undergo lysis instead.
