Abstract
The qualitative composition and zeta potential of magnetite nanoparticles (size 4.2±1.2 nm) obtained by co-precipitation method were determined by X-ray and diffraction dynamic light scattering. The zeta potential of Fe3O4 particles was -15.1±4.5 mV. The possibility of interaction of magnetite nanoparticles with human blood plasma proteins and hemoglobin as well as with erythrocyte membranes was demonstrated by spectrophotometry, electrophoresis, and fluorescence methods. No changes in the sizes of hemoglobin molecules and plasma proteins after their modification by Fe3O4 particles were detected. The possibility of modifying the structural state of erythrocyte membranes in the presence of magnetite nanoparticles was demonstrated by means of fluorescent probe 1-anilinonaphthalene-8-sulfonate.

Abstract
The blood flow through our microvascular system is a renowned difficult process to understand because the complex flow behavior of blood is intertwined with the complex geometry it has to flow through. Conventional 2D microfluidics has provided important insights, but progress is hampered by the limitation of 2-D confinement. Here we use selective laser-induced etching to excavate non-planar 3-D microfluidic channels in glass that consist of two generations of bifurcations, heading towards more physiological geometries. We identify a cross-talk between the first and second bifurcation only when both bifurcations are in the same plane, as observed in 2D microfluidics. Contrarily, the flow in the branch where the second bifurcation is perpendicular to the first is hardly affected by the initial distortion. This difference in flow behavior is only observed when red blood cells are aggregated, due to the presence of dextran, and disappears by increasing the distance between both generations of bifurcations. Thus, 3-D structures scramble in-plane flow distortions, exemplifying the importance of experimenting with truly 3D microfluidic designs in order to understand complex physiological flow behavior.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Yielding and shear elasticity of blood are merely discussed within the context of hematocrit and erythrocyte aggregation. However, plasma might play a substantial role due its own viscoelasticity. OBJECTIVE If only erythrocyte aggregation and hematocrit would determine yielding, blood of different species with comparable values would present comparable yield stresses. METHODS rheometry (SAOS: amplitude and frequency sweep tests; flow curves) of hematocrit-matched samples at 37°C. Brillouin Light Scattering Spectroscopy at 38°C. RESULTS Yield stress for pig: 20mPa, rat: 18mPa, and human blood: 9mPa. Cow and sheep blood were not in quasi-stationary state supporting the role of erythrocyte aggregation for the development of elasticity and yielding. However, pig and human erythrocytes feature similar aggregability, but yield stress of porcine blood was double. Murine and ruminant erythrocytes both rarely aggregate, but their blood behavior was fundamentally different. Pig plasma was shear-thinning and murine plasma was platelet-enriched, supporting the role of plasma for triggering collective effects and gel-like properties. CONCLUSIONS Blood behavior near zero shear flow is not based solely on erythrocyte aggregation and hematocrit, but includes the hydrodynamic interaction with plasma. The shear stress required to break down elasticity is not the critical shear stress for dispersing erythrocyte aggregates, but the shear stress required to fracture the entire assembly of blood cells within their intimate embedding.

Abstract
We investigate flow-induced structural organization in a dilute suspension of tumbling red blood cells (RBCs) under confined shear flow. For small Reynolds (Re = 0.1) and capillary numbers (Ca), with fully coupled hydrodynamic interaction (HI) and without interparticle adhesion, we find that HI between the biconcave discoid particles prompts the formation of layered RBC chains and synchronized rotating RBC pairs, referred here as "waltzing doublets." As the volume fraction ϕ increases, more waltzing doublets appear in RBC files. Stronger shear stress disrupts structural arrangements at higher Ca. We find that the flow-induced organization of waltzing doublets changes how the suspension viscosity varies with ϕ qualitatively. The intrinsic viscosity is particularly sensitive to microstructural rearrangement, increasing (decreasing) with ϕ at low (high) Ca that correlates with the change in the fraction of doublets. We verified flow-induced collective motion with comparison to two-cell simulations in which the cell volume fraction is controlled by varying the domain volume.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: Psoriasis is associated with an increased risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Methotrexate (MTX) is often used as a first-line system therapy and there is a need to determine its effect on whole blood viscosity (WBV) and plasma viscosity (PV) in psoriasis. METHODS A prospective, single-center, interventional study with a total of 111 psoriatic patients who received MTX therapy from October 22, 2018, to December 28, 2019, and 111 age- and sex-matched healthy controls. Changes in WBV, PV, blood counts, liver and renal function were evaluated. RESULTS Psoriatic patients had significantly higher levels of WBV and relative viscosity (RV) at low shear rate (LSR), erythrocyte aggregation index (EAI), and PV than sex and age-matched healthy controls. PV was positively correlated with erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), ESR was positively correlated with high sensitive C-reactive protein (hCRP). But only hCRP was positively associated with psoriasis area severity index (PASI) score. MTX significantly decreased the levels of PV, ESR, hCRP, and blood pressure (BP) in male patients, and the level of WBV in female patients. CONCLUSION: Sex-specific downregulation of MTX on WBV, PV, hCRP, and BP, indicating that the effect of MTX on the risk of cardiovascular disease was related with sex.

Abstract
Drag-reducing polymers (DRPs) can significantly improve blood circulation when added to blood at a nanomolar concentration, manifesting great potential for application in the biomedical field. In this work, hyaluronic acid (HA) was selected as a natural DRP, and its effects on blood microcirculation at different concentrations, flow rates, and channel geometry were studied in microchannels. The experimental results show that adding a small dose of HA can increase the velocity and shorten the thickness of the cell-free layer (CFL or cell depletion layer (CDL)) near the wall. After considering efficiency, our experiments determined 50 ppm addition of HA to be the most suitable amount for improving blood circulation. Our results demonstrate that HA has high efficiency in improving the circulation of blood flow and shed light on unveiling the mechanism of using natural DRPs to cure some cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract
Previous studies on red blood cell (RBC) aggregation have elucidated the inverse relationship between shear rate and RBC aggregation under Poiseuille flow. However, the local parabolic rouleaux pattern in the arterial flow observed in ultrasonic imaging cannot be explained by shear rate alone. A quantitative approach is required to analyze the spatiotemporal variation in arterial pulsatile flow and the resulting RBC aggregation. In this work, a 2D RBC model was used to simulate RBC motion driven by interactional and hydrodynamic forces based on the depletion theory of the RBC mechanism. We focused on the interaction between the spatial distribution of shear rate and the dynamic motion of RBC aggregation under sinusoidal pulsatile flow. We introduced two components of shear rate, namely, the radial and axial shear rates, to understand the effect of sinusoidal pulsatile flow on RBC aggregation. The simulation results demonstrated that specific ranges of the axial shear rate and its ratio with radial shear rate strongly affected local RBC aggregation and parabolic rouleaux formation. These findings are important, as they indicate that the spatiotemporal variation in shear rate has a crucial role in the aggregate formation and local parabolic rouleaux under pulsatile flow.

Abstract
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease that usually affects older individuals. Owing to the higher incidence of root caries and missing teeth in elderly individuals, the bacteria involved in these dental concerns might potentially deteriorate their cognitive function. Altered microbiota in the oral cavity may induce neuroinflammation through migration from the oral cavity to the brain. However, the correlation between the composition of the oral microbiota and neurodegenerative disease remains unclear. In this study, we evaluated sequence to determine the relative abundance and diversity of bacterial taxa in the dental plaque of elderly patients with AD and controls. Oral samples; the DMFT index; and other clinical examination data were collected from 17 patients with AD and 18 normal elderly individuals as the control group. Patients with AD had significantly more missing teeth and higher dental plaque weight but lower microbial diversity than controls. Significantly increased numbers of Lactobacillales, Streptococcaceae, and Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes and a significantly decreased number of Fusobacterium were observed in patients with AD. In conclusion, using the PacBio single-molecule real-time (SMRT) sequencing platform to survey the microbiota dysbiosis biomarkers in the oral cavity of elderly individuals could serve as a tool to identify patients with AD.

Abstract
Blood cell manipulation in microdevices is an interesting task for the separation of particles, by their size, density, or to remove them from the buffer, in which they are suspended, for further analysis, and more. This study highlights the cell-free area (CFA) widening based on experimental results of red blood cell (RBC) flow, suspended in a microfluidic device, while temperature and flow rate incrementally modify RBC response within the microflow. Studies of human red blood cell flow, at a concentration of 20%, suspended in its autologous plasma and phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) buffer, were carried out at a wide flow rate, varying between 10 and 230 μL/min and a temperature range of 23 °C to 50 °C. The plotted measures show an increment in a CFA near the channel wall due to cell flow inertia after a constricted channel, which becomes more significant as temperature and flow rate increase. The temperature increment widened the CFA up to three times. In comparison, flow rate increment increased the CFA up to 20 times in PBS and 11 times in plasma.

Abstract
Transit-time flow measurement (TTFM) is frequently used to evaluate intraoperative quality control during coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and has the ability to assess graft failure intraoperatively. However, perioperative factors affecting TTFM during CABG remain poorly understood. Patients who underwent CABG at a single institution between July 2016 and May 2018 were prospectively evaluated. TTFM and blood viscosity were measured haemodynamically, while mean flow (mL/min), pulsatility index, and diastolic filling were recorded. Arterial blood gas was analysed immediately after left internal mammary artery to left descending artery anastomosis and before sternal closure. Factors associated with TTFM were assessed using multiple linear regression analysis. We evaluated 57 of the 62 patients who underwent CABG during the study period, including 49 who underwent off-pump and 8 who underwent on-pump surgeries. Blood viscosity was not significantly associated with TTFM (p > 0.05). However, TTFM was significantly associated with body mass index, systolic blood pressure, and cardiac index (p < 0.05 each). In conclusion, maintaining the SBP in the perioperative period and maintaining the CI with inotropic support or fluid resuscitation can be important in improving blood flow of graft vessels after surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND One of the key elements of successful transplantation is effectively rinsing off the blood and preserving organs under controlled hypothermia. The aim of the study was to analyze the physicochemical parameters of Biolasol (Biochefa, Sosnowiec, Poland) and histidine-tryptophan-ketoglutarate (HTK) (Custodiol) solutions, which are recommended for perfusion and preservation of abdominal parenchymal organs. METHODS Biolasol and HTK solution were used for the study. The solutions were subjected to physicochemical analysis involving pH, density, osmolarity, viscosity, refractive index, zeta potential, hydrodynamic diameter, and rheological properties. Rheological parameters were associated with morphologic features of fluids. RESULTS HTK and Biolasol are non-Newtonian systems with pseudoplastic properties and yield stress. The solutions begin to flow under shear stress greater than the ultimate stress. In addition, a nonlinear relationship of their viscosity as a function of velocity gradient (shear rate) was observed. CONCLUSIONS The solutions reproduce blood properties, which leads to the conclusion about their effective filling of the vascular bed and high efficiency in organ rinsing.

Abstract
Understanding cell-nanoparticle interactions is critical to developing effective nanosized drug delivery systems. Nanoparticles have already advanced the treatment of several challenging conditions including cancer and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), yet still hold the potential to improve drug delivery to elusive target sites. Even though most nanoparticles will encounter blood at a certain stage of their transport through the body, the interactions between nanoparticles and blood cells is still poorly understood and the importance of evaluating nanoparticle hemocompatibility is vastly understated. In contrast to most review articles that look at the interference of nanoparticles with the intricate coagulation cascade, this review will explore nanoparticle hemocompatibility from a cellular angle. The most important functions of the three cellular components of blood, namely erythrocytes, platelets and leukocytes, in hemostasis are highlighted. The potential deleterious effects that nanoparticles can have on these cells are discussed and insight is provided into some of the complex mechanisms involved in nanoparticle-blood cell interactions. Throughout the review, emphasis is placed on the importance of undertaking thorough, all-inclusive hemocompatibility studies on newly engineered nanoparticles to facilitate their translation into clinical application.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Blood-stasis syndrome (BSS) is a specific ZHENG type of coronary heart disease (CHD) in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). The Xue-Fu-Zhu-Yu (XFZY) decoction is a common herbal formula that has been used for several centuries to treat BSS, but its mechanism has not been thoroughly elucidated to date. AIM OF THE STUDY In this study, serum lipid, blood haemorheology and metabolomics analyses were performed to depict a complete profile of XFZY capsules for the treatment of CHD with BSS and to reveal the potential mechanism of the XFZY capsules. MATERIALS AND METHODS A rat model of CHD with BSS was generated by combining a high-fat diet (HFD) with a left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) ligation. After four weeks of treatment with XFZY capsules or simvastatin pills, an echocardiography was performed for a therapeutic evaluation. Blood samples and heart tissues were then collected for further analyses. A UPLC-QTOF/MS-based metabolomics analysis of the plasma was performed, and all metabolic features were fit by PCA and OPLS-DA pattern for the biomarker screen. The identified biomarkers were later implemented into a metabolic pathway analysis. Furthermore, we used qRT-PCR and Western blot analyses to verify the treatment effects of the XFZY capsules. RESULTS A total of 49 metabolites (VIP>1.0, p < 0.05, RSD%<20%) were identified in the Model rats, and 27 metabolites (VIP>1.0, p < 0.05, RSD%<20%) were identified in the XFZY-H rats. The results of the pathway analysis indicated that the XFZY capsules treated CHD primarily by regulating cardiac energy, phospholipid, polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) and amino acid metabolism. In addition, blood viscosity and serum lipid assays suggested that XFZY capsules could decrease serum triglycerides, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and whole blood viscosity at a low shear rate. CONCLUSION This study demonstrated that the XFZY capsule effectively decreases serum lipids and whole blood viscosity in CHD with BSS. The underlying metabolic mechanism mainly included improving cardiac energy supply, reducing phospholipid peroxide, maintaining the PUFA metabolic balance and regulating amino acid metabolism.
