Filter by:Research group: the research will be conducted in a homogeneous group of professional rowers (N=30), all competitors qualified for the Polish Youth Rowing Team: - aged 18 - 24, because the age group must be homogeneous, - the size of the group is about thirty people, which in the case of a homogeneous group will enable statistical analyzes to be conducted. Rowing performance test: at the beginning and at the end of the training camp, participants will perform a test on a rowing ergometer (Concept II, USA), each subject will have to cover a distance of 2000 m in the shortest possible time, which is the distance starting in rowing competitions. The results of both tests will be considered in the selection for the championship team; therefore, athletes will be well motivated to perform both tests with maximum effort. The investigators set a research hypothesis that supplementation with krill oil may have a beneficial effect on athletes by limiting lipid peroxidation and inhibiting ferroptosis which in consequence may lead to red blood cell membrane protection.
An immediate perioperative parameter that assess the integrity of the Erythrocytes Membrane and therefore their structural quality isn't available in clinical practice and medical diagnostics except through indirect clinical biochemical tests or through the scanning electron microscope. The red blood cell (RBC) membrane contains proteins and glycoproteins embedded in a fluid lipid bilayer that confers viscoelastic behavior. Sialylated glycoproteins of the RBC membrane are responsible for a negatively charged surface which creates a repulsive electric zeta potential (ΞΆ) between cells. These charges help prevent the interaction between RBCs and the other cells and especially between each other. The zeta potential is a physical property which is exhibited by all particles in suspension. The development of a net charge on any particle affects the distribution of ions in the surrounding interfacial region resulting in an increased concentration of counter ions of opposite charge to that of the particle, close to the surface. In this context we present a new parameter that studies the interactions of the Erythrocytes membrane treated with positive ions and their maintenance of the charge. We compared the measured polarization values with the Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR), expression of speed with which RBCs tend to settle inside a particular graduated capillary called Westergren's tube and Plasma Free Hemoglobin (pFHb).
To evaluate the effects of blood preservation solution III (sodium citrate, sodium dihydrogen phosphate, sodium citrate, glucose and adenine) in autologous blood recovery and storage bags on the metabolic morphological functions and characteristics of red blood cells in patients undergoing cardiac surgery supported by cardiopulmonary bypass
GR-Ex is a program labelled by Labex (Laboratory of Excellence) by the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research. This program aims to develop the means to improve knowledge in the physiology and pathologies of erythropoiesis, red blood cells and iron metabolism, and to develop new therapeutic protocols capable of providing added value in terms of innovation.
The aim of this study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a nonmyeloablative conditioning regimen for allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in pediatric patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) who have a matched related major ABO-incompatible donor. The nonmyeloablative regimen will use alemtuzumab, total body irradiation (TBI) and sirolimus for immune suppression. This study will expand the access of HSCT for patients with SCD who are currently not eligible because of donor restrictions.
