Research topics from publications: Evaluation of the advantages of platelet concentrates stored at 4°C versus 22°C. Representative work: BACKGROUND: Platelet (PLT) storage at cold temperatures (4°C) can reduce bacterial contamination and lower the risk of transfusion-related complications. We compared the effects of 22 and 4°C storage conditions for PLTs to further explore the efficiency of hemostasis in acute bleeding and extended PLT shelf life. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: Manually prepared PLTs (PLT concentrates in plasma, not PLT additive solution) were stored at 4 and 22°C. The PLT counts, scanning electronic microscope observations, blood gas indices, biochemical indices, PLT aggregative function, and surface CD62P expression were monitored and compared between the groups. RESULTS: There was no obvious change in PLT count
