Abstract
Red blood cells (RBCs) possess intact cyto-architectures while haemoglobin (Hb) is a cell-free, homogeneous solution. Both RBCs and Hb are generalized oxygen carriers. In this paper, kinetic studies on oxygen-releasing of high concentration of Hb and RBCs under various conditions were carried out regarding Hb and RBCs as fluids. Among them, Hb under specific conditions was seen as the simplest Hb-based oxygen carrier (HBOC), Also, factors affecting the oxygen releasing of Hb and RBCs, including osmotic pressure, viscosity and allosteric agent, have been well studied. Analysis of the results from the measurement above showed that kinetics of oxygen releasing of either pure Hb or the simplest HBOCs was obviously different from that of RBCs. The oxygen-releasing time of Hb was shorter and the oxygen-releasing rates of Hb were quicker than those of RBCs under various conditions. Therefore, as fluids, only by changing the milieus it exists in, Hb could not achieve the expected oxygen-releasing effect on the microcirculation so well as RBCs do in the same system, irrespective of the interaction between the fluids and blood vessels. Furthermore, kinetic properties of HBOCs must be considered and matched with those of RBCs in the study of HBOCs.

Comp Biochem Physiol A Mol Integr Physiol 2013; 168:76-81.

Abstract
Venous blood gas-carrying properties were compared in the three captive species of penguins (king, gentoo and rockhopper) at Océanopolis (France). Captivity permitted to control environmental influences. Given their different ecology and diving behaviour in the wild, it was wondered whether milder conditions and dive privation have repercussions on parameters determining oxygen storage and acid-base status of these birds. In addition, this work provided the opportunity to study the effects of moulting in king penguins. This annual event that imposes deep metabolic adjustments is liable to affect blood gas levels. Because of the regular food supply and probably also of the blood sampling conditions, the blood pH of captive penguins was low. This effect was increased in moulting penguins and supposedly due to both the decreased energetic metabolism and the production of uric acid resulting from new feather synthesis. The decrease in the anion gap also revealed the use of plasmatic albumin for this synthesis. The elevated venous PO2 in all birds is not likely due to stress caused by sampling conditions. The other data, in accordance with those in the literature, show neither major influence of captivity nor fundamental interspecific differences, despite potential diving aptitude.

Abstract
The encapsulation of live cells with polymeric coat-ings is a versatile approach to modulate or control the response cells to their environment. The layer-by-layer (LbL) self-assembly of nonimmunogenic polyelectrolytes is employed here to attenuate or suppress the binding of antibodies to live red blood cells (RBCs) and, consequently, decrease their inherent immunogenicity toward foreign RBCs. The optimized shell was composed of four bilayers of alginate (AL) and chitosan-graft-phosphorylcholine (CH-PC) surrounded by two bilayers of AL and poly-l-lysine-graft-polyethylene glycol (PLL-PEG). Experimental parameters, including the polyelectrolytes and RBCs concentrations and the cell handling and purification protocols, were optimized to achieve effective encapsulation of live and functional RBCs in suspension. The viability and functionality of coated RBCs were confirmed by a hemolysis assay and by their ability to take up oxygen. The successful immunocamouflage of RBCs was confirmed by observing that the recognition of the ABO/D (Rh) blood group antigens present on the surface of RBCs by their respective antibodies was muted in the case of coated RBCs. The results of this studies mark an important step toward the production of universal RBCs.

Abstract
The ability of some bird species to fly at extreme altitude has fascinated comparative respiratory physiologists for decades, yet there is still no consensus about what adaptations enable high altitude flight. Using a theoretical model of O(2) transport, we performed a sensitivity analysis of the factors that might limit exercise performance in birds. We found that the influence of individual physiological traits on oxygen consumption (Vo2) during exercise differed between sea level, moderate altitude, and extreme altitude. At extreme altitude, haemoglobin (Hb) O(2) affinity, total ventilation, and tissue diffusion capacity for O(2) (D(To2)) had the greatest influences on Vo2; increasing these variables should therefore have the greatest adaptive benefit for high altitude flight. There was a beneficial interaction between D(To2) and the P(50) of Hb, such that increasing D(To2) had a greater influence on Vo2 when P(50) was low. Increases in the temperature effect on P(50) could also be beneficial for high flying birds, provided that cold inspired air at extreme altitude causes a substantial difference in temperature between blood in the lungs and in the tissues. Changes in lung diffusion capacity for O(2), cardiac output, blood Hb concentration, the Bohr coefficient, or the Hill coefficient likely have less adaptive significance at high altitude. Our sensitivity analysis provides theoretical suggestions of the adaptations most likely to promote high altitude flight in birds and provides direction for future in vivo studies.

Abstract
The small highly aerobic avian species have morphometrically superior lungs while the large flightless ones have less well-refined lungs. Two parabronchial systems, i.e. the paleopulmo and neopulmo, occur in the lungs of relatively advanced birds. Although their evolution and development are not clear, understanding their presence is physiologically important particularly since the air- and blood flow patterns in them are different. Geometrically, the bulk air flow in the parabronchial lumen, i.e. in the longitudinal direction, and the flow of deoxygenated blood from the periphery, i.e. in a centripetal direction, are perpendicularly arranged to produce a cross-current relationship. Functionally, the blood capillaries in the avian lung constitute a multicapillary serial arterialization system. The amount of oxygen and carbon dioxide exchanged arises from many modest transactions that occur where air- and blood capillaries interface along the parabronchial lengths, an additive process that greatly enhances the respiratory efficiency. In some species of birds, an epithelial tumescence occurs at the terminal part of the extrapulmonary primary bronchi (EPPB). The swelling narrows the EPPB, conceivably allowing the shunting of inspired air across the openings of the medioventral secondary bronchi, i.e. inspiratory aerodynamic valving. The defence stratagems in the avian lung differ from those of mammals: fewer surface (free) macrophages (SMs) occur, the epithelial cells that line the atria and infundibula are phagocytic, a large population of subepithelial macrophages is present and pulmonary intravascular macrophages exist. This complex defence inventory may explain the paucity of SMs in the avian lung.

Abstract
The kinetics of O2 uptake into, and release from, the red blood cells (RBC) of the turtle Pseudemys scripta elegans were determined with a stopped-flow technique at varied temperature (10-30 degrees C) and pH (7.5-7.9). The results were compared to those obtained for RBC of other vertebrates and related to morphometric and physiological data on gas/blood diffusion in turtle lungs. The O2 transfer conductance of RBC, G, for O2 release into high concentrations of dithionite, considered to represent the best estimate of true RBC transfer conductance for O2 uptake and release, averaged 0.17 +/- 0.01 at 30 degrees C, 0.13 +/- 0.01 at 20 degrees C, 0.09 +/- 0.01 at 10 degrees C (mean +/- SD, in mmol.min-1.Torr-1.(mlRBC)-1). These values are about one half the corresponding value for human RBC, and this difference may be due to the larger size of turtle RBC (volume, 327 microns 3) compared to human RBC (90 microns 3). The temperature dependence of G, Q10 = 1.3 indicates that, as in human RBC, diffusion through aqueous media is the main limiting factor for O2 exchange. Morphometric data on the lungs of Pseudemys scripta suggest that the resistance to O2 transfer by RBC is lower than that offered by the gas-blood barrier. The total apparent transfer resistance to CO, obtained from previous measurements of pulmonary diffusing capacity for CO in the same species, is much higher than that predicted from the combination of RBC O2 kinetics and morphometric data on gas-blood barrier.

Abstract
1. We studied the haematology of the little penguin, Eudyptula minor, and measured red cell enzymes, and the rate of O2 and glucose consumption and CO2 and lactate production of whole penguin blood. 2. Little penguins have a very low RBC count (1.66 x 10(12) l-1) and very large red cells (MCV = 229 microns 3), resulting in a normal haemoglobin and haematocrit. 3. Despite the lower body temperature of penguins, the rate of O2 consumption by whole blood is close to that predicted from studies on other birds.

Abstract
To estimate the significance of the dimensions of RBC on O2 transfer, the kinetics of O2 release from RBC into medium containing dithionite (40 mmol/l) was measured, by a stopped-flow technique, for nine different species with varying RBC size (man, llama, vicuna, alpaca, dromedary camel, pygmy goat, domestic hen, muscovy duck and turtle). The observed O2 transfer kinetics were found to be size-dependent, i.e. the O2 transfer conductance of the single RBC, gst, was lower, whereas the specific O2 transfer conductance of packed RBC, Gst, or of whole blood, theta st, was higher for smaller RBC. The ratio of surface area to effective diffusion path length which was found to be about one fourth of the mean cell thickness irrespective of cell size and cell shape, may be considered as the essential morphological factor determining O2 transfer efficiency of the single RBC.
