Cross-sectional distributions of normal and abnormal red blood cells in capillary tubes determined by a new technique.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:In the microcirculation, red blood cells (RBCs) were observed to be confined to an axial stream surrounded by a marginal RBC depleted layer. This axial accumulation of RBCs is considered to arise from the RBC deformability. OBJECTIVE:To quantitatively evaluate the effect of RBC deformability on their axial accumulation at a flow condition comparable to that in arterioles by developing a new observation system for accurate measurements of radial RBC positions in the cross section of capillary tubes. METHODS:The cross-sectional distributions of normal and hardened RBCs as well as softened RBCs suspended in capillary tube flows were measured with high spatial resolution. A new observation system was developed in which enface views of the cross-section of the tube were obtained at small distances upstream of the outlet at various longitudinal positions in the tube. RESULTS:The radial positions of individual RBCs were detected within 1 μm accuracy. It was found that normal and softened RBCs rapidly migrated away from the wall towards the tube axis, whereas glutaraldehyde-hardened RBCs were dispersed widely over the tube cross-section, depending on the concentration of glutaraldehyde solution. CONCLUSIONS:The newly devised observation system revealed quantitatively the essential role of RBC deformability in their axial accumulation.
