This study was undertaken to investigate the influence of a homogenous and uniform static magnetic field (SMF) on the main blood cell counts in vitro experiment. Fresh blood samples were collected from albino rats and exposed to SMF (2.4, 6, 25, 50, 75, and 100 mT) versus 15–60 min. Results showed a significant change of blood counts under the low field effects. A 2.4 mT was a trend of white blood cells (WBCs) count increase non-linearly. However, a 6 mT exposure reduced WBCs with about 39%. Other variations fluctuated within 30%. The 25 mT decreased red blood cells (RBCs), hemoglobin, and hematocrit levels with 13% similarly. The lower exposure field, (2.4 and 6) mT, and effects on RBCs were 6% fluctuation. The 6 mT reduced platelet counts with half in comparison to control blood samples. About 20% increase obtained due to 50 mT exposure during all period. None of 75 and 100 mT exposures dominated blood counts alterations. The quiet magnetic field exposure for a certain time can be interesting to control blood cell count-related diseases.

Group 4

In this study, we investigated the effect of the static magnetic field (SMF) on white blood cells (WBCs) for female albino rats using a fabricated exposure system of SMFs. Five main groups of animals exposed to 2.4±0.2 milli-Tesla (mT) for four weeks continuously. Five main groups (each group = 4 subgroups) have exposed to a different time of exposure; 1hr, 2hrs, 4hrs, 6hrs and 8hrs/day, respectively. Collected blood samples examined and compared with control values. The results proved that the time of exposure influences the WBCs significantly. One hour of exposure has increased the WBCs counts tremendously (from 50%-79%) in all weeks. However, the 8hrs of exposure reduced WBCs counts highly (from 71%-51%). The 3 weeks exposure trend was an increase, except the 8hrs/day exposure.

The present work was undertaken in order to investigate the effects of static magnetic field (SMF) on growth rates, hematopoiesis, plasmatic proteins levels, glucose concentration, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and transaminases activities in male rats. Sub-acute exposure of rats during 5 consecutive days to SMF (1h/day at 128mT) induced an increase of plasma LDH activity (+38%, p<0.05), and glucose concentration (+31%, p<0.05), whereas haematological parameters, protein levels, alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) activities remained unchanged. SMF exposure of rats during 30 consecutive days (1hour/day at 128mT) decreased significantly growth rates by the second week and increased significantly the plasmatic total protein levels (+62%, p<0.05), hemoglobin (+10%, p<0.05), red blood cells (+7%, p<0.05), white blood cells (+17%, p<0.05), and platelet number (+10%, p<0.05). Sub-chronic exposure to SMF increased also LDH (+43%, p<0.05), AST (+ 41%, p<0.05) and ALT activities (+95%, p<0.05). In contrast, the glucose concentration was unaffected. These changes suggested that exposure to SMF had a possible effect on the proliferation of blood cells and enzymes release within blood indicating tissue alterations.

The CRISPR/Cas9 system has proved to be a powerful tool for knockout and knock-in in various species. When 2 components—Cas9 and single guide (sg)RNA—are delivered into cells or embryos, the events of gene editing occur. Because Cas9 is essential for gene editing in the CRISPR/Cas9 system, some studies have reported the production of Cas9-expressing animals, such as mice, which could be used to increase gene editing efficiency in subsequent experiments. In previous reports, we successfully produced 4 Cas9-expressing cattle via microinjection (Hahn et al. 2016 Reprod. Fertil. Dev. 29, 211). Primary cells from these calves had Cas9 activity because transfection of only sgRNA resulted in gene deletion. The aim of this study was to analyse the blood of the transgenic cattle to investigate the effect of Cas9 expression on health. Two of 4 transgenic calves died; one had severe ruminant tympany, failed to respond to treatment, and died at 4 months of age, and the other died at 5 months of age due to accidental ingestion of a needle from a feed bunk. Blood samples were obtained from the surviving 2 transgenic cattle (1 male and 1 female) at 7 and 12 months for blood analysis. Five milliliters of whole blood samples was collected from the jugular vein. Portions were used for CBC (Hemavet 950, Drew Scientific, Miami Lakes, FL, USA) and for serum chemistry analysis (BS-400, Mindray, Shenzhen, China). Average values for white blood cells (9600 and 1057/mm3), neutrophils (4590 and 3870/mm3), lymphocytes (4020 and 5910/mm3), red blood cells (732,000 and 798,000/mm3), hemoglobin (9.5 and 10.2 g dL−1), packed cell volume (24.3 and 25.3%), platelet (439,000 and 327,500/mm3), AST (76 and 104 IU), ALP (140 and 133 IU), BUN (7.5 and 10.5 mg dL−1), and creatinine (1.3 and 1.0 mg dL−1) of male and female transgenic calves were within the reference range. Additionally, there was no difference in general health information, including body temperature and feeding. In conclusion, we demonstrated that continuous Cas9 expression in transgenic cattle did not affect health status of the surviving calves in terms of blood analysis. They have grown up without any health issues and are currently 14 (female) and 15 (male) months old. In the near future, we will evaluate their germline transmission by natural breeding or in vitro fertilization.

Abstract Complete blood cell counts have been used as a diagnostic tool across many animal species including swine. To investigate the factors that cause variation in complete blood cell count results, a total of 2,284 whole blood samples were collected from 2012 to 2019 in preweaning piglets (n = 518), nursery pigs (n = 1,704), and grower pigs (n = 60). Whole blood was collected into K2EDTA blood collection tubes and assayed using an automatic hematologic analyzer within 6 hours of collection. Data were analyzed by Mixed procedure of SAS with gender, parity group, and farrowing season as fixed effects. Body weight and age of pigs served as covariances. Farrowing season was grouped into summer (born during May to October) or winter (or November to April). Pigs that were born from first, second, and third parity, and four and above parity sows were assorted into parity group 1, 2 to 3, and 4+, respectively. Barrows had a greater concentration of total white blood cells (P &lt; 0.01), lymphocytes (P &lt; 0.01), and neutrophils (P &lt; 0.01) compared to gilts. Barrows had lower mean corpuscular volume (P = 0.03), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (P &lt; 0.01), and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (P = 0.02) compared to gilts. Pigs that were farrowed in the winter season had a greater concentration of white blood cells (P = 0.01), neutrophils (P = 0.01), and the percentage of neutrophils (P = 0.03), but were lower in the percentage of lymphocytes (P = 0.03) compared to pigs farrowed during summer. Pigs born to parity four and above sows obtained a greater lymphocyte count (P = 0.01), percentage of neutrophils (P = 0.02), and percentage of lymphocytes (P = 0.01). We concluded that peripheral complete blood cells count results were affected by gender, farrowing season, and sow parity.

Abstract Background Chronic inflammation, which can be modulated by diet, is linked to high white blood cell counts and correlates with higher cardiometabolic risk and risk of more severe infections, as in the case of COVID-19. Methods Here, we assessed the association between white blood cell profile (lymphocytes, basophils, eosinophils, neutrophils, monocytes and total white blood cells) as markers of chronic inflammation, habitual diet and gut microbiome composition (determined by sequencing of the 16S RNA) in 986 healthy individuals from the PREDICT-1 nutritional intervention study. We then investigated whether the gut microbiome mediates part of the benefits of vegetable intake on lymphocyte counts. Results Higher levels of white blood cells, lymphocytes and basophils were all significantly correlated with lower habitual intake of vegetables, with vegetable intake explaining between 3.59 and 6.58% of variation in white blood cells after adjusting for covariates and multiple testing using false discovery rate (q < 0.1). No such association was seen with fruit intake. A mediation analysis found that 20.00% of the effect of vegetable intake on lymphocyte counts was mediated by one bacterial genus, Collinsella, known to increase with the intake of processed foods and previously associated with fatty liver disease. We further correlated white blood cells to other inflammatory markers including IL6 and GlycA, fasting and post-prandial glucose levels and found a significant relationship between inflammation and diet. Conclusion A habitual diet high in vegetables, but not fruits, is linked to a lower inflammatory profile for white blood cells, and a fifth of the effect is mediated by the genus Collinsella. Trial registration The ClinicalTrials.gov registration identifier is NCT03479866.
