| Popis: | Background: Platelet activation is an important factor impeding the clinical effectiveness of platelet transfusions. In this study, platelet concentrates (PCs) were prepared by a novel suspended-bag buffy coat technique that was followed by the addition of a mixture of platelet activation inhibitors to the storage bag. Study Design and Methods: In vitro platelet function was evaluated in PCs prepared by the suspended-bag buffy coat technique and stored at 22 degrees C for 5 days in the presence of (n = 12) or absence (n = 12) of apyrase, ascorbic acid, and aprotinin (AAA). Results: Platelets from AAA- incubated PCs demonstrated mean ATP levels 17 percent (p < 0.004), 13 percent (p < 0.02), and 22 percent (p < 0.003) higher than those measured in parallel control PCs on Days 1, 3, and 5, respectively. Similarly, on Days 3 and 5 of storage, respectively, 45-percent (p < 0.001) and 50-percent (p < 0.001) greater ADP-induced maximum aggregation was observed in AAA-incubated PCs than was seen in control preparations. AAA-incubated PCs demonstrated alpha-granule membrane protein-140 expression 92 percent (p < 0.01), 133 percent (p < 0.003), and 104 percent (p < 0.001) below that in control PCs on Days 1, 3, and 5, respectively. At similar intervals, a significant increase in recovery from hypotonic shock also was observed in AAA-incubated PCs. Further, Day 5 AAA-PCs demonstrated significantly higher morphology scores and O2 consumption than did control preparations. Conclusion: Buffy coat platelets prepared in suspended bags and stored in the presence of AAA demonstrate significantly reduced activation and enhanced functional and metabolic activity. |
