RBCs require high deformability to sustain in-vivo circulation, and impaired deformability leads to several post-transfusion adverse outcomes. Therefore, improved understanding of the interrelation between the morphological and deformability changes and the quality and viability of the stored RBCs is essential to prevent or reduce the transfusion related adverse outcomes. To support this requisite, the influence on RBC deformability due to several aspects of the storage lesion, namely, the changes in cell morphology, surface area and volume, RBC membrane biomechanics, and cytoskeletal structural integrity are explored numerically in this study. Abstract: Storage lesion is a critical issue facing transfusion treatments, and it adversely affects the quality and viability of stored red blood cells (RBCs). -
Cytology of Myeloma Cells

HAYHOE AND ZOFIA NEUMAN1 From the Department of Haematological Medicine, Cambridge University SYNOPSIS A cytological, cytochemical, and cytometric study of plasma cells from 195 cases of multiple myeloma showed that, contrary to earlier reports, flaming cells, thesaurocytes, and intra- nuclear inclusions are not confined to IgA-secreting cases but are common also in IgG and Bence Jones varieties of myeloma. IgA-secreting cells are not larger, nor do they have a lower nuclear- cytoplasmic ratio than other myeloma cells. On average, for a given mass of tumour, Bence-Jones, IgG, and IgA varieties of myeloma produce amounts of paraprotein in the ratio 1 to 1 6 to 2-7. In 1961 Paraskevas et al reported a correlation the results of a larger scale survey carried out some between the morphological features of plasma cells years ago but previously unpublished. in myeloma and the type of immunoglobulin secreted.

Evidence-Based Practice Center Systematic Review Protocol
Evidence-based Practice Center Systematic Review Protocol Project Title: Serum-Free Light Chain Analysis for the Diagnosis, Management, and Prognosis of Plasma Cell Dyscrasias I. Background and Objectives for the Systematic Review Plasma cell dyscrasias (PCDs) are a spectrum of disorders characterized by the expansion of a population of monoclonal bone-marrow plasma cells that produce monoclonal immunoglobulins.1 At the benign end of the spectrum is monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS), where the plasma-cell clone usually does not expand. Multiple myeloma (MM) is a plasma cell disorder at the malignant end of the spectrum and is characterized by the neoplastic proliferation of a clone of plasma cells in the bone marrow with resulting end-organ damage, including skeletal destruction (lytic bone lesions), hypercalcemia, anemia, and renal insufficiency. Whereas monoclonal plasma cells generally secrete intact immunoglobulin, in about 20 percent of patients with MM these cells only produce light-chain monoclonal proteins (i.e., light-chain multiple myeloma [LCMM], formerly known as Bence Jones myeloma) and in 3 percent of patients they secrete neither light- nor heavy-chain monoclonal proteins that are detectable by immunofixation (i.e., nonsecretory multiple myeloma [NSMM]).1 In two-thirds of patients with NSMM, a monoclonal protein can be identified by the serum-free light chain (SFLC) assay. Patients with LCMM develop complications related to tissue deposition of light chains, including amyloidosis. Amyloid light-chain (AL) amyloidosis is the most common form of systemic amyloidosis seen in the United States and is characterized by a relatively stable, slow-growing plasma-cell clone that secretes light-chain proteins that form Table 1: Diagnostic criteria and clinical course of selected plasma cell dyscrasias (PCDs)2 Disorder Disease Definition Clinical Course Monoclonal gammopathy of . -
Canine Multiple Myeloma
Canine Multiple Myeloma Meredith Maczuzak, DVM; Kenneth S. Latimer, DVM, PhD; Paula M. Krimer, DVM, DVSc; and Perry J. Bain, DVM, PhD Class of 2003 (Maczuzak) and Department of Pathology (Latimer, Krimer, Bain), College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Georgia, Athens, GA 30602-7388 Introduction Multiple myeloma or plasma cell myeloma, is a neoplasm of well- differentiated B cell lymphocytes typically originating from the bone marrow. Neoplastic cells can metastasize widely, having a predilection for bone and resulting in osteolysis. The malignant transformation of a single B cell can secrete a homogenous immunoglobulin product known as paraprotein, which will mimic the structure of normal immunoglobulins. Overabundant production of paraprotein, consisting of any of the immunoglobulin classes, will appear as a sharp, well-defined peak or monoclonal gammopathy on serum electrophoresis. The most frequently encountered multiple myelomas secrete IgG or IgA paraproteins, however IgM myelomas (macroglobulinemia) have also been diagnosed in companion animals. Light chain disease is caused by plasma cell overproduction of the light chain segment of the immunoglobulin complex, consisting of either the lambda or kappa light chain. These proteins are referred to as Bence-Jones proteins and are the most commonly observed immunoglobulin fragments in the monoclonal gammopathies.2 There are rare instances where a malignant plasma cell neoplasm will be nonsecretory. These tumors occur in approximately 1% of all cases of multiple myeloma and are referred -

Successful Autologous Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Harvest and Transplantation After Splenectomy in a Patient with Multiple Myeloma with Hereditary Spherocytosis
International Journal of Myeloma 8(3): 11–15, 2018 CASE REPORT ©Japanese Society of Myeloma Successful autologous peripheral blood stem cell harvest and transplantation after splenectomy in a patient with multiple myeloma with hereditary spherocytosis Daisuke FURUYA1,4, Rikio SUZUKI1,4, Jun AMAKI1, Daisuke OGIYA1, Hiromichi MURAYAMA1,2, Hidetsugu KAWAI1, Akifumi ICHIKI1,3, Sawako SHIRAIWA1, Shohei KAWAKAMI1, Kaito HARADA1, Yoshiaki OGAWA1, Hiroshi KAWADA1 and Kiyoshi ANDO1 Hereditary spherocytosis (HS) is the most common inherited red cell membrane disorder worldwide. We herein report a 58-year-old male HS patient with mild splenomegaly who developed symptomatic multiple myeloma (MM). Autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) was considered to be adopted against MM, although there was a possibility of splenic rupture following stem cell mobilization. Therefore, splenectomy was performed prior to stem cell harvest, and he was able to safely mobilize sufficient CD34+ cells with G-CSF and plerixafor and undergo ASCT. This case suggests that stem cell mobilization after splenectomy is safe and effective in HS patients complicated with malignancies.
