Abstract
Transfusion of healthy red blood cells (RBCs) is a lifesaving process. However, upon storing RBCs, a wide range of damage-associate molecular patterns (DAMPs), such as cell-free DNA, nucleosomes, free-hemoglobin, and poly-unsaturated-fatty-acids are generated. DAMPs can further damage RBCs; thus, the quality of stored RBCs declines during the storage and limits their shelf-life. Since these DAMPs consist of either positive or negative charged species, we developed taurine and acridine containing electrospun-nanofibrous-sheets (Tau-AcrNFS), featuring anionic, cationic charges and an DNA intercalating group on their surfaces. We show that Tau-AcrNFS are efficient in scavenging DAMPs from stored human and mice RBCs ex vivo. We find that intermittent scavenging of DAMPs by Tau-AcrNFS during the storage reduces the loss of RBC membrane integrity and reduces discocytes-to-spheroechinocytes transformation in stored-old-RBCs. We perform RBC-transfusion studies in mice to reveal that intermittent removal of DAMPs enhances the quality of stored-old-RBCs equivalent to freshly collected RBCs, and increases their shelf-life by ~22%. Such prophylactic technology may lead to the development of novel blood bags or medical device, and may therefore impact healthcare by reducing transfusion-related adverse effects.

Abstract
Red blood cells (RBCs) stored in blood bags develop a storage lesion that include structural, metabolic, and morphologic transformations resulting in a progressive loss of RBC deformability. The speed of RBC deformability loss is donor-dependent, which if properly characterized, could be used as a biomarker to select high-quality RBC units for sensitive recipients or to provide customized storage timelines depending on the donor. We used the microfluidic ratchet device to measure the deformability of red blood cells stored in blood bags every 14 days over a span of 56 days. We observed that storage in blood bags generally prevented RBC deformability loss over the current standard 42-day storage window. However, between 42 and 56 days, the deformability loss profile varied dramatically between donors. In particular, we observed accelerated RBC deformability loss for a majority of male donors, but for none of the female donors. Together, our results suggest that RBC deformability loss could be used to screen for donors who can provide stable RBCs for sensitive transfusion recipients or to identify donors capable of providing RBCs that could be stored for longer than the current 42-day expiration window.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We aimed to investigate the real impact of allogeneic red blood cell transfusion (ABT) on postoperative outcomes in resectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) patients. METHODS Of 128 patients undergoing resectable PDAC surgery at our facility, 24 (18.8%) received ABT. Recurrence-free survival (RFS) and disease-specific survival (DSS), before and after propensity score matching (PSM), were compared among patients who did and did not receive ABT. RESULTS In the entire cohort, ABT was significantly associated with decreased RFS (P = 0.002) and DSS (P = 0.014) before PSM. Cox regression analysis identified ABT (risk ratio, 1.884; 95% confidence interval, 1.015-3.497; P = 0.045) as an independent prognostic factor for RFS. Univariate and multivariate analysis identified preoperative hemoglobin value, preoperative total bilirubin value, and intraoperative blood loss as significant independent risk factors for ABT. Using these 3 variables, PSM analysis created 16 pairs of patients. After PSM, the ABT group had significantly poorer RFS rates than the non-ABT group (median, 9.8 vs 15.8 months, P = 0.022). Similar tendencies were found in DSS rates (median, 19.4 vs 40.0 months, P = 0.071). CONCLUSIONS This study revealed certain negative effects of intraoperative ABT on postoperative survival outcomes in patients with resectable PDAC.

Abstract
Background The red blood cell (RBC) storage lesion is a series of morphological, functional, and metabolic changes that RBCs undergo following collection, processing, and refrigerated storage for clinical use. Since the biochemical attributes of the RBC unit shifts with time, transfusion of older blood products may contribute to cardiac complications, including hyperkalemia and cardiac arrest. We measured the direct effect of storage age on cardiac electrophysiology and compared it with hyperkalemia, a prominent biomarker of storage lesion severity. Methods and Results Donor RBCs were processed using standard blood-banking techniques. The supernatant was collected from RBC units, 7 to 50 days after donor collection, for evaluation using Langendorff-heart preparations (rat) or human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes. Cardiac parameters remained stable following exposure to "fresh" supernatant from red blood cell units (day 7: 5.8±0.2 mM K+), but older blood products (day 40: 9.3±0.3 mM K+) caused bradycardia (baseline: 279±5 versus day 40: 216±18 beats per minute), delayed sinus node recovery (baseline: 243±8 versus day 40: 354±23 ms), and increased the effective refractory period of the atrioventricular node (baseline: 77±2 versus day 40: 93±7 ms) and ventricle (baseline: 50±3 versus day 40: 98±10 ms) in perfused hearts. Beating rate was also slowed in human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes after exposure to older supernatant from red blood cell units (-75±9%, day 40 versus control). Similar effects on automaticity and electrical conduction were observed with hyperkalemia (10-12 mM K+). Conclusions This is the first study to demonstrate that "older" blood products directly impact cardiac electrophysiology, using experimental models. These effects are likely caused by biochemical alterations in the supernatant from red blood cell units that occur over time, including, but not limited to hyperkalemia. Patients receiving large volume and/or rapid transfusions may be sensitive to these effects.

Abstract
Bovine serum albumin (BSA)-coated haemoglobin (Hb)-microcapsules prepared by co-precipitation of Hb and MnCO3 may present an alternative type of artificial blood substitute. Prepared microcapsules were analysed by Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Respirometry, cytotoxicity was evaluated by addition of microcapsules to murine fibroblast-derived cell line L929 (American Type Culture Collection, NCTC clone 929 of strain L). The capsules come along with a mean diameter of approximately 0.6 μm and a mean volume of 1.13 × 10-19 L, thus an average human red blood cell with a volume of 9 × 10-14 L is about 800,000 times bigger. Hb-microcapsules are fully regenerable by ascorbic acid and maintain oxygen affinity because oxygen is able to pass the BSA wall of the capsules and thereby binding to the ferrous iron of the haemoglobin entity. Therefore, these microcapsules present a suitable type of potential artificial haemoglobin-based oxygen carrier (HbOC).

Abstract
Storage lesions in red blood cells (RBCs) hinder efficient circulation and tissue oxygenation. The absence of flow mechanics and gas exchange may contribute to this problem. To test if in vitro compensation of flow mechanics and gas exchange helps RBC recovery, three-dimensional polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) porous structures were fabricated with a sugar mould, simulating lung alveoli. RBC suspensions were passed through the porous structure cyclically, simulating in vivo blood circulation. Acid-base indices, partial gas pressures, ions, glucose and RBC indices were analyzed. An atomic force microscope was used to investigate local mechanical properties of intact RBCs. RBCs suspensions that passed through the porous structures had a higher pH and oxygen partial pressure, and a lower potassium concentration and carbon dioxide partial pressure. Meantime they had better biochemical properties relative to static samples, namely, they exhibited a more homogenous distribution of Young's Modulus. RBCs that passed through a PDMS porous structure were healthier than static ones, giving hints to prevent RBC storage lesions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intact red blood cells (RBCs) appear to support thrombin generation in in vitro models of blood coagulation. During storage of RBC units, biochemical, structural, and physiological changes occur including alterations to RBC membranes and release of microparticles, which are collectively known as storage lesion. The clinical consequences of microparticle formation in RBC units are unclear. This study was performed to assess thrombin generation via the prothrombinase complex by washed RBCs and RBC-derived microparticles as a function of RBC unit age. METHODS Well-characterized kinetic and flow cytometric assays were used to quantify and characterize microparticles isolated from leukocyte-reduced RBC units during storage for 42 days under standard blood banking conditions. RESULTS Stored RBCs exhibited known features of storage lesion including decreasing pH, cell lysis, and release of microparticles demonstrated by scanning electron microscopy. The rate of thrombin formation by RBC units linearly increased during storage, with the microparticle fraction accounting for approximately 70% of the prothrombinase activity after 35 days. High-resolution flow cytometric analyses of microparticle isolates identified phosphatidylserine-positive RBC-derived microparticles; however, their numbers over time did not correlate with thrombin formation in that fraction. CONCLUSION Red blood cell-derived microparticles capable of supporting prothrombinase function accumulate during storage, suggesting an increased potential of transfused units as they age to interact in unplanned ways with ongoing hemostatic processes in injured individuals, especially given the standard blood bank practice of using the oldest units available.

Abstract
Background The “Age of Blood in Children in Pediatric Intensive Care Unit” (ABC PICU) study is a randomized controlled trial (RCT) that aims to determine if red blood cell (RBC) unit storage age affects outcomes in critically ill children. While RBCs can be stored for up to 42 days in additive solutions, their efficacy and safety after long-term storage have been challenged. Preclinical and clinical observational evidence suggests loss of efficacy and lack of safety of older RBC units, especially in more vulnerable populations such as critically ill children. Because there is a belief that shorter storage will improve outcomes, some physicians and institutions systematically transfuse fresh RBCs to children. Conversely, the standard practice of blood banks is to deliver the oldest available RBC unit (first-in, first-out policy) in order to decrease wastage. Methods/design The ABC PICU study, is a double-blind superiority trial comparing the development of “New or Progressive Multiple Organ Dysfunction Syndrome” (NPMODS) in 1538 critically ill children randomized to either transfusion with RBCs stored for ≤ 7 days or to standard-issue RBCs (oldest in inventory). Patients are being recruited from 52 centers in the US, Canada, France, Italy, and Israel. Discussion The ABC PICU study should have significant implications for blood procurement services. A relative risk reduction of 33% is postulated in the short-storage arm. If a difference is found, this will indicate that fresher RBCs do improve outcomes in the pediatric intensive care unit population and would justify that use in critically ill children. If no difference is found, this will reassure clinicians and transfusion medicine specialists regarding the safety of the current system of allocating the oldest RBC unit in inventory and will discourage clinicians from preferentially requesting fresher blood for critically ill children.

Abstract
Red blood cell (RBC) transfusion is common in critically ill, postsurgical, and posttrauma patients in whom both systemic inflammation and immune suppression are associated with adverse outcomes. RBC products contain a multitude of immunomodulatory mediators that interact with and alter immune cell function. These interactions can lead to both proinflammatory and immunosuppressive effects. Defining clinical outcomes related to immunomodulatory effects of RBCs in transfused patients remains a challenge, likely due to complex interactions between individual blood product characteristics and patient-specific risk factors. Unpacking these complexities requires an in-depth understanding of the mechanisms of immunomodulatory effects of RBC products. In this review, we outline and classify potential mediators of RBC transfusion-related immunomodulation and provide suggestions for future research directions.

Red blood cell storage time and transfusion: current practice, concerns and future perspectives. BLOOD TRANSFUSION = TRASFUSIONE DEL SANGUE 2017; 15:222-231.

Abstract
Red blood cells (RBCs) units are the most requested transfusion product worldwide. Indications for transfusion include symptomatic anaemia, acute sickle cell crisis, and acute blood loss of more than 30% of the blood volume, with the aim of restoring tissue oxygen delivery. However, stored RBCs from donors are not a qualitative equal product, and, in many ways, this is a matter of concern in the transfusion practice. Besides donor-to-donor variation, the storage time influences the RBC unit at the qualitative level, as RBCs age in the storage bag and are exposed to the so-called storage lesion. Several studies have shown that the storage lesion leads to post-transfusion enhanced clearance, plasma transferrin saturation, nitric oxide scavenging and/or immunomodulation with potential unwanted transfusion-related clinical outcomes, such as acute lung injury or higher mortality rate. While, to date, several studies have claimed the risk or deleterious effects of "old" vs "young" RBC transfusion regimes, it is still a matter of debate, and consideration should be taken of the clinical context. Transfusion-dependent patients may benefit from transfusion with "young" RBC units, as it assures longer inter-transfusion periods, while transfusion with "old" RBC units is not itself harmful. Unbiased Omics approaches are being applied to the characterisation of RBC through storage, to better understand the (patho)physiological role of microparticles (MPs) that are found naturally, and also on stored RBC units. Perhaps RBC storage time is not an accurate surrogate for RBC quality and there is a need to establish which parameters do indeed reflect optimal efficacy and safety. A better Omics characterisation of components of "young" and "old" RBC units, including MPs, donor and recipient, might lead to the development of new therapies, including the use of engineered RBCs or MPs as cell-based drug delivering tools, or cost-effective personalised transfusion strategies.
