Arterial stiffness and stroke in sickle cell disease

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Large vessels are also affected in sickle cell disease. The aim of this study was to assess several parameters in adult patients with sickle cell disease compared with control subjects and in patients with sickle cell disease with stroke. METHODS: Carotid arterial stiffness, intima-media thickness, and transcranial Doppler ultrasonography were measured. RESULTS: Arterial stiffness and transcranial Doppler velocity were significantly increased in 49 patients with sickle cell disease compared with 47 control subjects (P<0.05) and especially in patients with stroke (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: These data suggest that transcranial Doppler and arterial stiffness might be associated to stroke in adult patients with sickle cell disease

Hb Mont Saint Aignan [beta 128(H6)Ala -> Pro]: A new unstable variant leading to chronic microcytic anemia

Hb Mont Saint-Aignan [beta 128(H6)Ala –> Pro] is a mildly unstable variant, associated with hemolytic anemia, marked microcytosis and increased alp biosynthetic ratio (1.55 versus 1.1 +/-0.1 in the control). The abnormal chain was isolated by selective precipitation with isopropanol and the structural modification determined by protein chemistry methods (reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry). Possible mechanisms underlying the beta (+)-thalassemia-like expression of this variant are discussed
