Abstract Background We aimed to investigate whether combination of vitamin D and iron supplementation, comparing vitamin D alone, could modify bone turnover, inflammatory, oxidative stress, and metabolic markers. Methods Women with hemoglobin (Hb)≤12.7 g/dL and 25OHD≤29 ng/mL vitamin D deficiency/insufficiency aged 18-45 years (n=100) were recruited into a trial to receive either 1000 IU/d vitamin D3 plus 27 mg/d iron (D-Fe) or vitamin D3 plus placebo supplements (D-P) for 12 weeks. Results In D-Fe group, significant decreases in red blood cells (RBC) (P=0.001), hematocrit (Hct) (P=0.004) and increases in mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC)(P=0.001), 25OHD (P<0.001), osteocalcin (P<0.001), high-density cholesterol (HDL) (P=0.041), and fasting blood sugar (FBS) (P<0.001) were observed. D-P group showed significant decreases of RBC (P<0.001), Hb (P<0.001), Hct (P<0.001), mean corpuscular volume (MCV) (P=0.004), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) (P<0.001), MCHC (P=0.005), serum ferritin (P<0.001), and low-density cholesterol (LDL) (P=0.016) and increases of 25OHD (P<0.001), osteocalcin (P<0.001), C-terminal telopeptide (CTX) (P=0.025), triglyceride (TG) (P=0.004), FBS (P<0.001), and interleukin-6 (IL-6) (P=0.001) at week 12. After the intervention, the D-P group had between-group increases in mean change in the osteocalcin (P=0.007) and IL-6 (P=0.033), and decreases in the RBC (P<0.001), Hb (P<0.001), Hct (P<0.001), MCV (P=0.001), compared to the D-Fe group. There were significant between-group changes in MCH (P<0.001), MCHC (P<0.001), ferritin (P<0.001), and serum iron (P=0.018). Conclusions Iron-vitamin D co-supplementation does not yield added benefits for improvement of bone turnover, inflammatory, oxidative stress, and metabolic markers; whereas, vitamin D alone may have some detrimental effects on inflammatory and metabolic markers.

Abstract In Poland the preterm children, with the birth rate reaching 6.3%, constitute a serious medical problem. The system of specialistic clinics provides them with the multidisciplinary care for the first 3 years of life, including the monitoring of hematologic parameters in relation with anemia and osteopenia. The aim of this study was to assess the vitamin D3 level and morphotic parameters of blood in children who were prematurely born at the time when they are about to start school. The study was carried out in a group of 92 children, aged 6 years ±0.63, including 54 preterm children born at gestational age <32 weeks - and 38 full-term children. A basic anthropometric measures and assessment of morphotic parameters and the vitamin D3 level were assessed. Statistical analyses were carried out using Shapiro-Wilk W-test, Student’s t-test and Mann-Whitney U test. Preterm children had significantly lower the vitamin D3 level than controls. This also refers to some morphotic parameters of blood, such as level of hemoglobin, mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration and platelets. Prematurely born 6–7 year-old children have significantly lower vitamin D3 levels in blood serum than normal and significantly lower hemoglobin levels than full-term children.

Abstract Because we recently observed two patients with severe diabetic hyperglycemia and spuriously elevated electronically determined hematocrit and mean corpuscular volume (MCV), we investigated the effect of hyperglycemia on two popular automated hematology systems, the Coulter S and Ortho ELT-8. Marked hyperglycemia (blood glucose 800-- 2000 mg/dl) caused consistent overestimation of the electronically determined MCV compared to that derived from a simultaneous spun microhematocrit. The resultant overestimation and underestimation, respectively, of the derived values for hematocrit and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration may be clinically misleading. The mechanism of MCV elevation in hyperglycemia appears to be swelling of hyperosmolar glucose “loaded” erythrocytes when diluted into “isotonic” counting medium. This effect is readily circumvented by determination of a spun microhematocrit.

Abstract Developments of pulmonary diseases, often accompanied by infections of bacteria, severely affect the meat production and welfare of pigs. This study investigated 307 pigs at age of 240 d from an eight-breed cross reared under standardized housing conditions for associations among the extent of lung lesions, bacteria load inferred from 16S rRNA sequencing of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, as well as 57 immune cells and 25 hematological traits. We showed that the pigs under study suffered substantial and varied lung lesions, and the Mycoplasma is the most associated bacteria genera. At a false discovery rate of 0.05 (FDR &lt; 0.05), the severity of lung lesions were significantly associated with greater CD8+ to CD3+ cell ratio, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and standard deviation of red blood cell volume distribution width (RDW-SD), and lower CD4−CD8−/CD3+, CD3+CD4−CD8−/PBMCs (peripheral blood mononuclear cells) and CD14−CD16−/PBMCs cell ratios, mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration, lymphocyte count, and lymphocyte count percentage, reflecting an status of inflammation, immune suppression, and hypoxia of the pigs accompanying the progression of the lung lesions. The Mycoplasma abundance showed positive correlations with neutrophil count, neutrophil count percentage, NLR, monocyte count, coefficient of variation in red blood cell volume distribution width , and RDW-SD, and negative correlations with mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration, lymphocyte count, and lymphocyte count percentage; these correlations are largely consistent with those of lung lesions, supporting the comorbidity of lung lesions and Mycoplasma infection. We also observed nonlinear associations that sharp increases in neutrophil count and neutrophil count percentage occurred only when Mycoplasma abundance raised above the population-average level. The results provide helpful insights into the changes of host immune status in response to Mycoplasma relevant lung diseases in pigs.

Thalassemia is common inherited disorder among humans, and they represent a major public health problem in many areas of the world. The study aimed to the measurement of hematological characterization of beta-thalassemia in Sudanese patients. Blood samples from 61 beta-thalassemic patients were collected after written consent form obtained from all participants. The frequency of adults (>18 years) was 45 (73.8%) and children’s (<18 years) was 16 (26.2%); the frequency of male was 27 (44.3%) and 34 were female (55.7%). Hemoglobin estimation and red cell indices were carried out using the automatic blood cell counter Sysmex K × 21N. The results showed that Hb and RBCs indices were varied between mild to moderate and severe decreasing, hemoglobin concentration (Hb) with the mean value of 9.6 g/dL, with minimum value of 6.1 g/dl and maximum of 11.9 g/dl, while RBCs were increased in all patients, mean value 5.2 c/l, mean corpuscular volume mean was 58.9 fl, hematocrit was 30.4, mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) 18.8 pg, mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) was 31.7pg, and RDW was 18.8%. The method used for hemoglobin electrophoresis was capillary electrophoresis, Hb pattern shows increased HbA2 and HbF, the mean of HbA is 78.3%, HbF is 2.3%, and HbA2 is 6.5% with the min. value of 3.6% and max. of 12.2%. While the mean of serum iron was 82.75 μg/dl, 7 patients showed low level, 19 high level, and 35 were normal level. Comparison of hematological analysis (HbA2) in thalassemic patients coexisted with iron deficiency and without result was insignificant difference (p=0.645), this result disagrees with references that say iron deficiency masking HbA2. Nevertheless, the association between HbA2 and HbF revealed a statistically significant difference (p<0.013) and HbA2 with Hb was insignificant (p=0.260).

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of heat stress on quail hematological parameters two published papers on quails in 2013 were studied, analyzed and compared. Broiler Japanese quails (Coturnix coturnix japonica) were exposed to high ambient temperature (340C, 8hr/d, 0900-1700hr) in both papers. An increase in values of red blood cells count, white blood cells count, lymphocytes, heterophils and lymphocytes (H/L) ratio, Monocytes, packed cell volume, mean corpuscular hemoglobin, mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration were recorded while a lower values of heterophils, basophils, eosinophils, mean corpuscular volume and hemoglobin concentration than normal were recorded in groups exposed to heat stress (340C) on day 42 in Japanese quails (Coturnix coturnix japonica). Hemoglobin concentration was least affected. The obtained results indicated that, rearing quail birds under high environmental conditions during the fattening period has a great adverse effect on blood parameters. To help maintain Japanese quail as an essential animal model further heat stress related research on modern ways is needed.

ABSTRACT Objective: The objective was to determine the basic hematological parameters of remunerated blood donors in Benin City and to compare them with those of voluntary donors. Materials and Methods: This is a prospective study conducted in a tertiary health facility in Benin City. Pretransfusion samples were obtained from blood bags after gentle mixing and analyzed for hematological parameters. Samples were analyzed using the hematology autoanalyzer MODEL SYSMEX KN21. Result: A total of 215 samples were obtained comprising 160 remunerated (paid) and 55 voluntary donor samples. In the paid donors, the mean hemoglobin concentration (Hb) and hematocrit (HCT) 7.7±2.9 and 28.8±8.5 respectively. This was significantly lower than those of voluntary donors who had 13.9±1.2 and 42.2±3.3 with P < 0.001. The mean values of the red cell counts (RBC), white cell counts (WBC), mean cell volume (MCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) were significantly lower in paid donors as P-values were <0.001. MCV was significantly low but not compared to the other parameters as P=0.04. There was no significant difference in the platelet count. Conclusion: Paid donors in Benin City have significantly lower hematological parameters than controls.
