A study on simultaneous measurement method for both platelets and fragmented red cells using flow-cytometric immunoplatelet count
Journal Title: Journal of Analytical Bio-Science - Year 2013, Vol 36, Issue 5
Abstract
Simultaneous measurement of both platelets and fragmented red cells (FRCs) using the flow-cytometric immunoplatelet (CD41/CD61) count was attempted. FRCs were prepared artificially by heating. The ICSH/ISLH immunoplatelet count obtained by flow cytometry was extended to count FRCs, and the finding was compared to that obtained with the visual microscope-dependent method using the Miller ocular disk. A new region was established to enumerate the FRCs on the scattergram for immunoplatelet counting by flow cytometry. A favorable correlation and regression were obtained between FRC% by flow-cytometric immunoplatelet counting and that by counting on microscopic observation. Simultaneous measurement of both platelets and FRCs was possible up to a 3.8% FRC concentration.

Clinical state of acute myocardial infarction with increased phosphoglucomutase activity: The relationship between phosphoglucomutase activity and acute thrombosis
Phosphoglucomutase (PGM) is a key enzyme in cellular glucose utilization and energy homeostasis. We previously found that patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) showed high PGM activity, especially those with ST...
Effect on Quality of Life of a Lentinus edodes mycelia-enriched diet (L･E･M®) in patients with terminal cancer
Purpose: It is important to offer the highest possible quality of life (QOL) for terminal cancer patients in palliative medicine. It was examined whether Lentinus edodes mycelia (L･E･M®) -containing diet (CORELEM®) was e...
