Abstract
INTRODUCTION The red blood cell (RBC) storage lesion has been well described in mouse and human blood but not in swine. Understanding the porcine RBC storage lesion is necessary prior to evaluating transfusion of stored packed red blood cells (pRBCs) in polytrauma models. We hypothesized that porcine pRBCs would undergo a similar storage lesion severity after 42 d. METHODS Whole blood was collected from female Yorkshire pigs and pRBCs were isolated in additive storage solution 3. Female human whole blood was obtained from our local blood bank and pRBCs prepared. Human and porcine pRBCs were stored for 42 d and sampled weekly and evaluated for markers of the RBC storage lesion including biochemical measurements, eryptotic RBCs, band-3 expression, erythrocyte-derived microvesicles, and free hemoglobin concentrations. RESULTS Porcine pRBCs demonstrated a hematocrit similar to human pRBCs. Both human and porcine pRBC units developed a progressive storage lesion. However, over 42 d of storage, porcine pRBCs maintained their pH and had decreased glucose utilization. Porcine pRBCs also demonstrated decreased levels of eryptosis compared to human samples and generated less erythrocyte-derived microvesicles with lower free hemoglobin concentrations. CONCLUSIONS Porcine pRBCs stored in additive storage solution 3 demonstrate a progressive RBC storage lesion over 42 d of storage but with less severity than human controls. Given the differences in porcine erythrocyte metabolism, further study of the storage lesion in porcine blood is needed in addition to incorporating the use of stored porcine pRBCs in a swine model of hemorrhagic shock to more closely mimic clinical scenarios.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Whole blood resuscitation for hemorrhagic shock in trauma represents an opportunity to correct coagulopathy in trauma while also supplying red blood cells. The production of microvesicles in stored whole blood and their effect on its hemostatic parameters have not been described in previous literature. We hypothesized that microvesicles in aged stored whole blood are procoagulant and increase thrombin production via phosphatidylserine. METHODS Whole blood was obtained from male C57BL/6 male mice and stored in anticoagulant solution for up to 10 days. At intervals, stored whole blood underwent examination with rotational thromboelastography, and platelet-poor plasma was prepared for analysis of thrombin generation. Microvesicles were prepared from 10-day-old whole blood aliquots and added to fresh whole blood or platelet-poor plasma to assess changes in coagulation and thrombin generation. Microvesicles were treated with recombinant mouse lactadherin prior to addition to plasma to inhibit phosphatidylserine's role in thrombin generation. RESULTS Aged murine whole blood had decreased fibrin clot formation compared with fresh samples with decreased plasma fibrinogen levels. Thrombin generation in plasma from aged blood increased over time of storage. The addition of microvesicles to fresh plasma resulted in increased thrombin generation compared with controls. When phosphatidylserine on microvesicles was blocked with lactadherin, there was no difference in the endogenous thrombin potential, but the generation of thrombin was blunted with lower peak thrombin levels. CONCLUSION Cold storage of murine whole blood results in decreased fibrinogen levels and fibrin clot formation. Aged whole blood demonstrates increased thrombin generation, and this is due in part to microvesicle production in stored whole blood. One mechanism by which microvesicles are procoagulant is by phosphatidylserine expression on their membranes.

Abstract
Peroxiredoxin 2 (Prdx2) is the third most abundant erythrocyte protein. It was known previously as calpromotin since its binding to the membrane stimulates the calcium-dependent potassium channel. Prdx2 is present mostly in cytosol in the form of non-covalent dimers but may associate into doughnut-like decamers and other oligomers. Prdx2 reacts rapidly with hydrogen peroxide (k > 107 M-1 s-1). It is the main erythrocyte antioxidant that removes hydrogen peroxide formed endogenously by hemoglobin autoxidation. Prdx2 also reduces other peroxides including lipid, urate, amino acid, and protein hydroperoxides and peroxynitrite. Oxidized Prdx2 can be reduced at the expense of thioredoxin but also of other thiols, especially glutathione. Further reactions of Prdx2 with oxidants lead to hyperoxidation (formation of sulfinyl or sulfonyl derivatives of the peroxidative cysteine). The sulfinyl derivative can be reduced by sulfiredoxin. Circadian oscillations in the level of hyperoxidation of erythrocyte Prdx2 were reported. The protein can be subject to post-translational modifications; some of them, such as phosphorylation, nitration, and acetylation, increase its activity. Prdx2 can also act as a chaperone for hemoglobin and erythrocyte membrane proteins, especially during the maturation of erythrocyte precursors. The extent of Prdx2 oxidation is increased in various diseases and can be an index of oxidative stress.

Abstract
For the past thirty years, hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers (HBOCs) have been under development as a red blood cell substitute. Side-effects such as vasoconstriction, oxidative injury, and cardiac toxicity have prevented clinical approval of HBOCs. Recently, high molecular weight (MW) polymerized human hemoglobin (PolyhHb) has shown positive results in rats. Studies have demonstrated that high MW PolyhHb increased O2 delivery, with minimal effects on blood pressure, without vasoconstriction, and devoid of toxicity. In this study, we used guinea pigs to evaluate the efficacy and safety of high MW PolyhHb, since like humans guinea pigs cannot produce endogenous ascorbic acid, which limits the capacity of both species to deal with oxidative stress. Hence, this study evaluated the efficacy and safety of resuscitation from severe hemorrhagic shock with high MW PolyhHb, fresh blood, and blood stored for 2 weeks. Animals were randomly assigned to each experimental group, and hemorrhage was induced by the withdrawal of 40% of the blood volume (BV, estimated as 7.5% of body weight) from the carotid artery catheter. Hypovolemic shock was maintained for 50 min. Resuscitation was implemented by infusing 25% of the animal's BV with the different treatments. Hemodynamics, blood gases, total hemoglobin, and lactate were not different before hemorrhage and during shock between groups. The hematocrit was lower for the PolyhHb group compared to the fresh and stored blood groups after resuscitation. Resuscitation with stored blood had lower blood pressure compared to fresh blood at 2 h. There was no difference in mean arterial pressure between groups at 24 h. Resuscitation with PolyhHb was not different from fresh blood for most parameters. Resuscitation with PolyhHb did not show any remarkable change in liver injury, inflammation, or cardiac damage. Resuscitation with stored blood showed changes in liver function and inflammation, but no kidney injury or systemic inflammation. Resuscitation with stored blood after 24 h displayed sympathetic hyper-activation and signs of cardiac injury. These results suggest that PolyhHb is an effective resuscitation alternative to blood. The decreased toxicities in terms of cardiac injury markers, vital organ function, and inflammation following PolyhHb resuscitation in guinea pigs indicate a favorable safety profile. These results are promising and support future studies with this new generation of PolyhHb as alternative to blood when blood is unavailable.

Abstract
Red blood cell (RBC) preservation is very important in human health. The RBCs are usually preserved at 4 ± 2 °C without freezing or at a very low temperature (-80 °C or liquid nitrogen) with deep freezing. Herein, non freezable preservation of RBCs at a subzero temperature is reported to prolong the preservation time compared with that at 4 ± 2 °C. By adding glycerol and poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) (average number molecular weight 400, PEG-400) into the preservation solution, the freezing point is decreased and the hemolysis is kept low. The cell metabolism of stored RBCs at -8 °C is reduced, and the shelf life of RBCs extends up to at least 70 days. At the end of preservation, the pH decreases a little bit to demonstrate the low metabolic rate of RBCs stored at subzero temperatures. After quick washing, the RBC survival rate is ca. 95%. The adenosine triphosphate, 2,3-diphosphoglycerate, and cell deformation ability of the washed RBCs are maintained at a high level, while the malondialdehyde is relatively low, which verifies the high quality of RBCs stored at this condition.

Abstract
The state of red blood cells (RBCs) and their functional possibilities depend on the structural organization of the membranes. Cell morphology and membrane nanostructure are compositionally and functionally related to the cytoskeleton network. In this work, the influence of agents (hemin, endogenous oxidation during storage of packed RBCs, ultraviolet (UV) radiation, temperature, and potential of hydrogen (pH) changes) on the relationships between cytoskeleton destruction, membrane nanostructure, and RBC morphology was observed by atomic force microscope. It was shown that the influence of factors of a physical and biochemical nature causes structural rearrangements in RBCs at all levels of organization, forming a unified mechanism of disturbances in relationships “cytoskeleton-membrane nanosurface-cell morphology”. Filament ruptures and, consequently, large cytoskeleton pores appeared. The pores caused membrane topological defects in the form of separate grain domains. Increasing loading doses led to an increase in the number of large cytoskeleton pores and defects and their fusion at the membrane nanosurfaces. This caused the changes in RBC morphology. Our results can be used in molecular cell biology, membrane biophysics, and in fundamental and practical medicine.
