Abstract
Obesity is associated with dysfunctions in hypothalamic neurons that regulate metabolism, including agouti-related protein (AgRP)-expressing neurons. In a recent article, Zhang et al. demonstrated that either diet- or genetically induced obesity promoted iron accumulation specifically in AgRP neurons. Preventing iron overload in AgRP neurons mitigated diet-induced obesity and related comorbidities in male mice.

Kaur R, Mittal K, Cheema RK, Gupta S, Sood T, Kaur P. Association of blood donor characteristics with in vitro platelet storage properties. Transfus Apher Sci 2023; 62:103746. [PMID: 37286442 DOI: 10.1016/j.transci.2023.103746] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/20/2023] [Revised: 05/17/2023] [Accepted: 05/31/2023] [Indexed: 06/09/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE The study was planned to determine the association of blood donor characteristics with in vitro quality of platelets. MATERIAL AND METHODS In the prospective observational study, a total of 85 male whole blood donors in the age group of 18-30 and 45-65 years were enrolled using purposive sampling method. Serum total cholesterol, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), and LDH levels were performed on donor pre-donation sample. Buffy coat platelet concentrates were prepared from 450 mL quadruple blood bags. Samples from platelets were taken on day one and five of storage and biochemical properties were observed. RESULTS Median MPV was higher in platelets from older blood donors on day five (9.8 vs 9.4, p = 0.037). Median LDH levels were also higher in platelets on day one and five from older donors (Day one: 204.5 vs 147, p = <0.000; day five: 278 vs 224, p = 0.001 respectively). Platelets from donors with high HbA1c levels had lower median pH (Day one: 7.31 vs 7.37, p = 0.024) and higher median glucose levels on day one of storage (Day one: 358 vs 311, p = 0.001). Higher median lactate levels throughout the storage period were also seen in platelets from donors with higher HbA1c levels (Day one: 7 vs 5.7, p = 0.037; Day five: 16 vs 12.2, p = 0.032). Glucose consumption (108 vs 66, p = 0.025) and lactate production (9 vs 6.4, p = 0.019) was higher in platelets from donors with higher HbA1c levels. CONCLUSION In vitro platelet storage properties are affected by blood donor characteristics.

Abstract
Hyperferritinaemia is a common laboratory finding that is often associated with metabolic dysfunction and fatty liver. Metabolic hyperferritinaemia reflects alterations in iron metabolism that facilitate iron accumulation in the body and is associated with an increased risk of cardiometabolic and liver diseases. Genetic variants that modulate iron homeostasis and tissue levels of iron are the main determinants of serum levels of ferritin in individuals with metabolic dysfunction, raising the hypothesis that iron accumulation might be implicated in the pathogenesis of insulin resistance and the related organ damage. However, validated criteria for the non-invasive diagnosis of metabolic hyperferritinaemia and the staging of iron overload are still lacking, and there is no clear evidence of a benefit for iron depletion therapy. Here, we provide an overview of the literature on the relationship between hyperferritinaemia and iron accumulation in individuals with metabolic dysfunction, and on the associated clinical outcomes. We propose an updated definition and a provisional staging system for metabolic hyperferritinaemia, which has been agreed on by a multidisciplinary global panel of expert researchers. The goal is to foster studies into the epidemiology, genetics, pathophysiology, clinical relevance and treatment of metabolic hyperferritinaemia, for which we provide suggestions on the main unmet needs, optimal design and clinically relevant outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To describe the basic demographical characteristics of whole blood donors in Zhejiang Province, China, from 2006 to 2015 and to examine the trends in individual characteristics associated with blood donation and the relationship between weight and donation. DESIGN Cross-sectional study comparing characteristics of blood donors and annual donations for the period 2006 to 2015. SETTING Urban and rural communities in Zhejiang, China (11 cities, 89 districts or counties and 1379 townships). PARTICIPANTS 3 226 571 volunteer blood donors. OUTCOME MEASURES Volume of each whole blood donation and donation frequency. All data were collected by trained staff and entered into a standardised electronic information system. RESULTS The number of blood donations generally trended up in Zhejiang Province from 2006 to 2015. Donors were predominately males aged 18 to 25 years, but this major donor age group shifted to the 26 to 45 year range by 2015. The rate of repeated blood donation was 30.8 per cent. The blood volume per donation concentrated in 200 mL and 400 mL categories has been gradually shifted to 300 mL and 400 mL. Approximately one-third of donors had a college education. The average weight of donors increased over time for both men and women. Both the blood volume of each donation and donation frequency were proportional to weight. CONCLUSIONS The trend of voluntary non-remunerated blood donation in Zhejiang province is positive. However, given the expected growth in demand for whole blood, more research is needed to increase both the donor pool and the rate of repeated donation. The relationship between body weight and blood donation warrants further study because while improving nutritional status is associated with higher average donation volume and more frequent donations, overnutrition may lead to poorer quality of donated blood. Blood donation may present a unique opportunity for health education and body weight management to monitor and improve population health.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate whether regular blood donation decreases cardiovascular risk. METHODS All 159 934 Dutch whole-blood donors with an active donation career of at least 10 years were categorised into sex-specific donation tertiles based on the number of donations during this 10-year qualification period. Cardiovascular endpoints were based on hospital discharge diagnoses and death certificates from Dutch Hospital Data and Statistics Netherlands and occurring after the 10-year qualification period. Cox regression was used to estimate the age-adjusted and starting year-adjusted hazard rate ratio (HRR). RESULTS Female high-frequency blood donors had a reduced cardiovascular morbidity (HRR=0.91, 95% CI 0.85 to 0.98) compared with low-frequency blood donors. No effect was observed in men (HRR=1.00, 95% CI 0.95 to 1.05). To rule out a residual healthy donor effect (HDE), additional sensitivity analyses using a 5-year qualification period were conducted. The results supported the absence of a residual HDE. CONCLUSIONS This study showed a protective effect of long-term, high-frequency blood donation against cardiovascular disease. This effect was only observed in women and not in men.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Blood centers may offer point-based reward systems or cardiovascular disease (CVD) screening to incentivize donors. However, combining these incentives to improve CVD risk and blood donation rates has not been studied. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS Study was a three-arm prospective controlled trial: Group 1, control (routine points, no CVD screening); Group 2, CVD screening with routine points; and Group 3, CVD screening plus incentive double points. The primary objective was to determine if double versus routine incentive points led to improvement or maintenance of CVD risk profile assessed using self-reported changes in 1) reading food labels for calorie and fat content, 2) exercising daily, 3) reduced fat intake, and 4) increase in eating fruits and vegetables. Outcomes were compared at first and final (2-year) follow-up visits. As secondary outcome, median blood donation rates before enrollment and during study were compared. RESULTS A total of 570 donors (290 in Group 1, 134 in Group 2, 146 Group 3) were selected. At first follow-up visit, 71.4% in Group 3 versus 62.0% in Group 2 subjects reported at least one of four positive behavioral changes (p < 0.001). Increase in reading food labels for calorie and fat content was the most common change and higher in Group 3 (Group 3 from 60.9% to 79.1%; Group 2 from 67.6% to 77.5%; p < 0.001). Final evaluation showed significant increase in self-reported exercise in Group 3 only (from baseline 52.9% to 68.3%; p < 0.05). Group 3 reported higher increase in median number of donations/year during study enrollment (6.8 [IQR, 4.3-12] vs. baseline 4.6 [IQR, 3.2-7.1] donations/year) than Group 2 (5.6 [IQR, 4.2-10.5] vs. baseline 4.9 [IQR, 3.5-10.2]) and Group 1 (4.4 [IQR, 2.7-8.0] vs. baseline 4.4 [IQR, 2.5-6.0] donations/year; p < 0.001). CONCLUSION Positive donor reinforcement (double vs. routine points) resulted in better self-reported health maintenance behavior and increased donation rates.

Abstract
This is the fifth in the series of reviews developed as part of the Biomarkers of Nutrition for Development (BOND) program. The BOND Iron Expert Panel (I-EP) reviewed the extant knowledge regarding iron biology, public health implications, and the relative usefulness of currently available biomarkers of iron status from deficiency to overload. Approaches to assessing intake, including bioavailability, are also covered. The report also covers technical and laboratory considerations for the use of available biomarkers of iron status, and concludes with a description of research priorities along with a brief discussion of new biomarkers with potential for use across the spectrum of activities related to the study of iron in human health.The I-EP concluded that current iron biomarkers are reliable for accurately assessing many aspects of iron nutrition. However, a clear distinction is made between the relative strengths of biomarkers to assess hematological consequences of iron deficiency versus other putative functional outcomes, particularly the relationship between maternal and fetal iron status during pregnancy, birth outcomes, and infant cognitive, motor and emotional development. The I-EP also highlighted the importance of considering the confounding effects of inflammation and infection on the interpretation of iron biomarker results, as well as the impact of life stage. Finally, alternative approaches to the evaluation of the risk for nutritional iron overload at the population level are presented, because the currently designated upper limits for the biomarker generally employed (serum ferritin) may not differentiate between true iron overload and the effects of subclinical inflammation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In retrospective studies, it has been shown that differences in storage variables of platelet (PLT) concentrates (PCs) are partially donor dependent. It was our aim to prospectively determine the donor effect on PLT quality. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS Based on quality control data of outdated apheresis PCs, male donors were selected with at least one PC with a pH value of more than 7.0 ("good," n = 6) or one PC with a pH value of less than 6.7 ("poor," n = 6) on Day 8. These donors donated a PC (Trima Accel, Terumo) and completed a short questionnaire about their health and lifestyle. PCs were stored for 12 days and analyzed at regular intervals for in vitro quality. RESULTS Donor characteristics were comparable, except that zero of six good and four of six poor donors reported high blood pressure and/or high cholesterol/fat and/or use of medicines. Lactate production in good PCs was lower than that in poor PCs (0.09 ± 0.03 mmol/day/1011 PLTs vs. 0.13 ± 0.04 mmol/day/1011 PLTs, p < 0.05) resulting in a higher pH from Day 5 onward. At the end of storage, the good PCs showed lower CD62P expression, lower phosphatidylserine exposure, and higher mitochondrial membrane potential. PLT functional properties were only slightly different. Despite having lower pH, the poor PCs also fulfilled European Guidelines during 7-day storage. CONCLUSION Platelet storage performance is consistent when donors are dichotomized as having good or poor storing PLTs. Metabolic differences are perhaps due to different functionality of the mitochondria. More research is needed to establish the underlying causes and the implications for donors and blood products.
