Primary blood components iaclude plasma, red blood cells (erythrocytes), white blood cells (leukocytes), platelets (thrombocytes), and stem cells. Plasma consists of water dissolved proteias, ie, fibrinogen, albumins, and globulins coagulation factors and nutrients. The principal plasma-derived blood products are siagle-donor plasma (SDP), produced by sedimentation from whole blood donations fresh frozen plasma (FFP), collected both by apheresis and from whole blood collections cryoprecipitate, produced by cryoprecipitation of FFP albumin, collected through apheresis and coagulation factors, produced by fractionation from FFP and by apheresis (see Fractionation, blood-plasma fractionation). 

Medical Uses. Citric acid and citrate salts are used to buffer a wide range of pharmaceuticals at their optimum pH for stabiUty and effectiveness (65—74). Effervescent formulations use citric acid and bicarbonate to provide rapid dissolution of active ingredients and improve palatabiUty. Citrates are used to chelate trace metal ions, preventing degradation of ingredients. Citrates are used to prevent the coagulation of both human and animal blood in plasma and blood fractionation. Calcium and ferric ammonium citrates are used in mineral supplements. 

At present, the activation of the extrinsic coagulation system is considered to be of more importance in the initiation of DIC than the activation of the contact system (LI2, Cl 3). The activation of the extrinsic system starts with the release of tissue factor (TF) from endothelial cells. TF is a macromolecule, composed of a protein and a lipid fraction, that is synthesized by endothelial cells and monocytes. TF... 

It has been found that the activity which is conventionally referred to as the "unattached" fraction is actually an ultrafine particle aerosol with a size range of 0.5 to 3 nm. The hydroxyl radical from water molecule radiolysis is a key element to the particle formation mechanism. By injecting different concentrations of S02 into the test chamber, a possible particle formation mechanism has been suggested as follows Oxidizable species such as S02 reacts promptly with hydroxyl radicals and form a condensed phase. These molecules coagulate and become ultrafine particles.
