During storage of CPD-A1 preserved whole blood factors of the complement cascade become activated, as evidenced by a rapid increase in the concentrations of C3a-desArg and C4a-desArg. After 10 to 14 days of whole blood storage, the elevations of C3a and C4a levels were highly significant. This increase was paralleled by an increase in the concentration of the lysosomal proteinase elastase from polymorphonuclear (PMN) granulocytes. By contrast, the concentration of the C3 activator complex C4b2b remained unchanged even after 3 weeks of storage. The supplementation of the anticoagulant CPD-A1 with the polyvalent-proteinase-inhibitor aprotinin and the specific elastase- inhibitor eglin C failed to inhibit complement activation, whereas leukocyte depletion could partially abolish the increase of the concentration of C4a, but had no effect on C3a concentrations. These observations support the notion that cleavage of C4 during storage of whole blood is partially leukocyte dependent, whereas the activation of C3 is possibly caused by the activation of the alternate pathway of the complement system by contact of plasma with plastic surfaces.

Abstract Abstract 4189 Objective To determine the efficacy between apheresis platelet concentrates(APCs) and platelets (PLTs) derived from whole blood(WBD) transfusion in acute leukemia patients receiving chemotherapy without remission. Methods All patients received same ABO group and leukocyte depletion PLTs. According to the platelet count before and after transfusion, we used percent platelet recovery(PPR) and corrected count increment(CCI) at 24 hours post-transfusion to analysis the outcomes. Results A total of 130 patients between the ages of 14 and 80 received 771 times PLTs transfusion. 85 patients were males, and 45 were females. There were 596 times APCs and 175 times WBD. In APCs, the platelet counts were 11.97±10.43×109/L and 24.68±18.63×109/L pre- and post-transfusion(P<0.001). In WBD, the platelet counts were 11.06±7.58×109/L and 22.88±18.00×109/L pre- and post-transfusion(P<0.001). But there was no significant difference in the platelet count between the two types of platelet produces transfusion. According to PPR, if PPR<20% is considered platelet transfusion refractoriness(PTR), the incidence rates of PTR in APCs and WBD were 46.98% and 49.71%, respectively. According to CCI, if CCI<4.5×109/L is considered PTR, the incidence rates of PTR were 42.95% and 46.86%, respectively. The incidence rate of PTR was no significant difference in PPR and CCI between the two PLTs products. Conclusion For the patients of acute leukemia without remission, the incidence rate of PTR was high, even if they received same ABO group and leukocyte depletion products. The efficacy was not significant difference between APCs and WBD transfusions. Disclosures: No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.
