A microscopic theoretical study is performed to predict the rheological properties of human blood in the low concentration limit. The shear thinning behavior of blood in the low shear limit is studied by considering the aggregate formation of red blood cells, which is called the rouleaux formation. Then the constitutive equations of blood in the high shear limit are derived for various flow situations by considering the unique features of deformation of blood cells. Specifically, the effects of the surface-area-preserving constraint and the lank-treading motion of blood cells on the rheological properties are studied.

Detailed knowledge on the motion of blood cells flowing in micro-channels under simple shear flow and the influence of blood flow is essential to provide a better understanding on the blood rheological properties and blood cell aggregation. The microscopic behavior of red blood cell (RBCs) is numerically investigated using a fluid-structure interaction (FSI) method based on the Arbitrary-Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) approach and the dynamic mesh method (smoothing and remeshing) in FLUENT (ANSYS Inc., USA). The employed FSI method could be applied to the motions and deformations of a single blood cell and multiple blood cells, and the primary thrombogenesis caused by platelet aggregation. It is expected that, combined with a sophisticated large-scale computational technique, the simulation method will be useful for understanding the overall properties of blood flow from blood cellular level (microscopic) to the resulting rheological properties of blood as a mass (macroscopic).

The drying of duck blood provides safety and commercial benefits, but each drying method has its own characteristics. Moreover, information on the effects of diverse drying methods on the quality of duck blood is limited. This study aimed to investigate the effects of various drying methods on the chemical and functional properties of duck blood. The physicochemical characteristics and functional properties of duck blood subjected to spray drying (SD), freeze drying (FD), vacuum drying (VD), and hot air drying (HD) were examined. The carbonyl content of FD duck blood powder was the lowest and the thermal stability was higher than that of the other treatments (p<0.05). The gel obtained from spray-dried blood displayed the lowest malondialdehyde content. The hardness, gumminess, and chewiness were the highest in the heat-induced gel prepared from FD duck blood powder (p<0.05). The gel obtained from FD duck blood displayed a denser structure than the other gel samples. Taken together, the FD duck blood exhibited excellent chemical properties and processing suitability.

This paper presents the characterization of a continuous magnetophoretic microseparator for separating white and red blood cells from peripheral whole blood cells based on their native magnetic properties. The magnetophoretic microseparator separated the blood cells using a high gradient magnetic separation (HGMS) method without the use of additives such as magnetic beads or probing materials. Experimental results show that the paramagnetic capture mode microseparator can continuously separate out 93.5% of red blood cells and 97.4% of white blood cells from diluted whole blood, and the diamagnetic capture mode microseparator can continuously separate out 89.7% of red blood cells and 72.7 % of white blood cells by using applying an external magnetic flux of 0.2 T using a permanent magnet.

Hematological, chemical and functional characteristics of porcine, chicken and duck blood were evaluated. A porcine blood sample showed the most abundant red blood cell, hemoglobin concentration, packed cell volume and plasma protein content as well as its freeze-dried blood possessed the highest contents of protein, fat, Cu and Cr with the highest percentage of heme iron (p<0.05). Unlike porcine blood, chicken blood showed a well balance in some essential amino acids, specifically for a higher isoleucine content (p<0.05). Furthermore, it possessed the highest contents of carbohydrate, Zn and non-heme iron (p<0.05). The most rapid response to form a strong gel, especially at $70^{\circ}C$ and $80^{\circ}C$, was found in chicken blood, followed by duck and porcine blood, respectively. The result of emulsion activity index (EAI) and emulsion stability index (ESI) at the low protein concentration indicated that chicken blood had the most superior emulsion properties (p<0.05). Regarding duck blood, it exhibited the highest content of Mg and Mn (p<0.05). Moreover, duck blood had similar foaming properties to porcine blood in which they showed higher values than chicken blood (p<0.05). Specific characteristics of blood were therefore diminished by animal species in which this information could be used as food supplementation or product development based on their potential applications.

Extended use of porcine blood in food ingredients depends on the decolorization of red blood cell concentrates and the modification of its functional properties. The purpose of this study is to compare the relative effect of cation ion exchanger for decolorization of porcine red blood globin. The globin extract is freeze-dried for determination of various functional properties, such as solubility, emulsion capability and foaming ability. Since the isoelectric point of blood globin is located at pH 6.8, which is the neutral pH ranges (6-8), so its functionalities are inferior around these pHs. This weakness has been the main reason, which limit the extended use of blood globin in food industry. Acetylation and succinylation of blood globin can be an alternative way to improve its functionalities. These results may provide new information to understand the decolorization mode by cation ion exchanger for the blood globin. With chemical, the functionalities of blood globin could be obviously improved. The above findings could enable food industry to extend the use of blood globin as a food ingredient.

Magnetic fluid seals are used in a wide variety of gas and dust sealing applications. However, it is difficult to seal for liquid because of its characteristic. This study will be a basic guide for a magnetic fluid seal for liquid, especially for blood to be practically used in medical instruments such as rotary blood pumps by clarifying its seal properties. Sealing pressure test, durability test, and hemolysis test have been conducted for this seal. In this study, magnetic fluid, sealing fluid, eccentricity ratio, revolution speed were selected as parameters. As results of the tests, it has been found that the properties of magnetic fluid seal depend on the solvent and the saturation magnetization of magnetic fluid. Therefore, the selection of magnetic fluid is important for this seal. It also has been found that eccentricity ratio of the shaft caused harmful effect for seal properties. In conclusion, it has been showed that magnetic fluid seals could be possibly used in medical instruments such as blood pumps when blood come in contact with magnetic fluids.

Blood products from slaughterhouses that are not hygienically prepared for disposal or food consumption pose a human health hazard. Gamma irradiation is an effective method for sterilization of blood products, but may introduce changes in the molecular characteristics of proteins. This study evaluated the effects of irradiation on animal plasma proteins. Bovine and porcine blood was obtained from a slaughterhouse and the plasma proteins purified and lyophilized. The secondary structure and molecular weight distribution of the plasma protein solutions and powders were examined after ${\gamma}$-irradiation at 1, 5, 7 and 10 kGy. Gamma-irradiation affected the molecular properties of the protein solutions, but not the protein powders. Circular dichroism and sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis studies showed that increased doses of ${\gamma}$-irradiation decrease the ordered structure of plasma proteins in solution, and cause initial fragmentation of the polypeptide chains and subsequent aggregation.

순환계는 혈액의 흐름이 원활하게 되도록 그 해부학적 구조와 혈류의 물리학적 특성이 연결되어있다. 혈액의 흐름에 영향을 주는 혈액의 물리학적 특성을 혈유변학적 인자(Hemorheologic factors)라 하며, 혈액의 점도(blood viscosity) 및 적혈구 응집도(erythrocyte aggregation)와 같은 혈유변학적 특성은 헤마토크리트(hematocrit; Hct)와 밀접한 관계를 가진다. 헤마토크리트가 높을수록 혈액 점도가 증가하고 적혈구 응집도는 증가하며 순환을 저해하고 조직에 산소 전달 능력을 방해한다. 혈청 페리틴은 과도하게 있을 경우 산화유리기(oxygen free radial)를 통하여 혈관 내피세포(vascular endothelial cell)와 혈구 세포(blood cell)에 산화 손상을 유발하여 심혈관계 손상을 유발한다. 이러한 기전을 근거로 사혈 혹은 헌혈을 심혈관계 질환의 예방 및 치료에 응용하려는 시도가 오랫동안 있었다. 사혈은 의학에 있어 오랜 역사를 가지면서 특히 한방의 치료적 개념으로 최근까지도 사용되고 있으나 그 과학적 근거가 불충분하고 아직까지 논란의 여지도 있어 근거 중심의 의학을 근간으로 하는 의학에서는 도외시되어왔다. 하지만 혈액량이 증가하면 혈유변학적 인자들(hemorheological factors) 역시 악화되면서 대 순환에서 동맥경화의 발생 및 진행에 영향을 주고, 모세순환(microcirculation)을 악화시키는 것으로 알려져 있으며 심뇌혈관 사건에 영향을 주는 것으로 보고되고 있다. 정기적인 헌혈자(regular blood donors)에게 혈유변학적 인자들을 저명하게 호전시키고 과도한 철분의 함량을 줄여서 산화유리기에 의한 혈구 및 내피세포의 산화 손상을 줄임으로써, 순환계내에서 혈액순환을 촉진시킬 수 있다는 증거들이 보고되고 있다. 헌혈의 효과가 심혈관계 질환에 이익이 된다는 확고한 장기적 코호트 연구결과가 도출된다면 절대적으로 헌혈 혈액량이 부족한 현실과 심혈관계 질환의 예후를 호전시킬 수 있다는 측면에서 중요한 역할을 할 수 있다고 생각된다.
