Removal oftumor cells from blood by leukocyte filter / 中国输血杂志

【Objective】 To investigate the effect of leukocyte filter in removal of tumor cells in blood and the viability of using leukocyte filter in intraoperative cell salvage in tumor patients. 【Methods】 The leucocyte-depleted suspended RBCs prepared from 200 mL human whole blood were spiked with HCT116 cells cultured in vitro to simulate the autologous blood recovered from tumor patients during operation. Conventional filter (group A, n=6), filter with small pore size (group B, n=6) and filter with thicker membrane and small pore size (group C, n=6)) were used. The CD45-EpCAM+ tumor cells were detected by anti-CD45-PE and anti-CD326 (EpCAM)-FITC flow cytometry, and the absolute count of tumor cells were calculated using Flow Count fluorescence microspheres. The activity of tumor cells was detected by cell culture and trypan blue staining. Furthermore, blood biochemical indexes (LDH, K+ ) and red cell recovery rate were detected. 【Results】 Tumor cell counts before and after the application of leukocyte filter A, B, C were(1.52±0.48)×107/mL vs(2.73±1.74)×104/mL, (1.48±0.55)×107/ml vs(2.96±1.85)×104/mL and (1.44±0.46)×107/mL vs(3.08±2.33)×104/mL, respectively (P >0.05), which was significantly reduced after filtration (P < 0.01). No viable cells were found in the filtered blood cultured for 7 days. There were no significant differences in K+ and LDH value before and after filtration among the three groups(P >0.05). The blood recovery rates of group A, B, C were 85.22%, 84.97% and 82.86%, respectively. 【Conclusion】 The conventional filter can significantly reduce the number of circulating tumor cells, and it is feasible for intraoperative cell salvage in tumor patients.

Application of case mix index on the performance evaluation of hospital department bed size / 中华医院管理杂志

Objective To explore the relationship between case mix index ( CMI ) and the bed allocation in clinical departments, and to evaluate the performance of bed scale of departments at tertiary hospitals based on CMI. Methods Based on the HIS system of a tertiary hospital, the authors collected the disease treatment information and bed allocation information of each clinical department in 2015. The CMI value was calculated by means of diagnosis-related group( DRG) , while the proportion of cases and average daily beds occupancy corresponding to the quartile of the CMI value of each department was also counted. Then the bed occupancy and distribution of various patients were analyzed. Results The hospital′s overall CMI value, DRG groups, DRG cases at the departments, days of stay, DRGs, CMI values and its quartiles were calculated. It was found that the medical and surgical CMIs had a linear relationship with the critical proportion (r=0. 998, 0. 996, P<0. 001). The main influencing factors of average daily bed occupancy were ranged from high to low as followed: the number of cases that were allocated in the group, employee numbers and CMI (F=87. 656, P<0. 001). Conclusions CMI is an ideal indicator for the difficulty of medical services at different departments and for evaluating the bed scale performance. Hence it can be used as an important reference for bed number adjustment in hospitals.

Classification criteria of systemic lupus erythematosus: a commentary / 中国医师杂志

At the present,systemic lupus erythematosus is a heterogeneous disease in which diagnosis,especially early diagnosis,is always rather difficult.Because of this,the systems of classification criteria for clinical diagnosis,which include recommendations of the American college of rheumatology and the systemic lupus international collaborating clinics,have been utilized since 1971.However,there is still no single biomarker that is pathognomonic for the disease.Currently,the diagnosis still requiresold-fashioned clinical acumen with the assistance of standardized clinical and laboratory criteria.In the light of the commentary,future research may lead us to define subtypes of lupus from a genomic and proteomic standpoint.

Reducing the risk of ABO incompatibility by two specimen policy / 中国输血杂志

Objective:To evaluate the effectiveness of using two specimens for ABO grouping on the prevention of ABO-incompatible transfusions caused by sample errors. Methods A two specimen policy for blood samples of pre-transfusion testing was implemented from July 2007. This policy was defined as that for patients requiring transfusion or likely to require transfusion,ABO group was determined twice on 2 separate-samples. The rate of mislabeled samples and miscollected samples prior to blood transfusion were recorded and analyzed.Results From Jul 2007 to Jun 2009,79 115 samples for pre-transfusion compatibility testing were accepted. A total of 273 samples were identified as mislabeled. The rate of mislabeled samples was 1 in 290. The rate of miscollected samples with correction for silent errors was 1 in 1485 (23 miscollected samples of 47 507 repeat samples,with a correction factor of 1.391 2). Of the 23 miscollected samples detected by double-step typing policy,9 cases (39%) could have caused ABO-incompatible transfusions.Conclusion The risk of ABO-incompatible transfusions caused by mislabeled and miscollected samples can be reduced by two specimen policy.

The mechanism of tetragametic chimerism in a true hermaphroditism with 46, XX/46 ,XY / 中华男科学杂志

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To report a true hermaphroditism due to a teragametic chimerism and to discuss the pathogenesis of tetragametic chimerism.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Chromosomal analysis and fluorescence in situ hybridization(FISH) were carried out on the lymphocytes from the blood and on the fibroblasts from the cultured skin and on fibroblasts from two different kinds of gonadal tissues of the patient with ambiguous genitalia respectively. Blood groups, human leukocyte antigen (HLA) haplotyping and 77 short tandem repeat (STR) microsatellite markers were tested. The two kinds of tissues in the gonad were detected by histopathological examination. Blood groups, HLA haplotying and 77 STR microsatellite markers parents of the patient's were also analyzed.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Either 46,XX or 46,XY karyotype was found in the lymphocytes of the blood and in the fibroblasts of the cultured skin and of the two different kinds of gonadal tissues. Two X chromosome-specific signals or one X and one Y signal were detected in each interphase nucleus by FISH from the lymphocytes of the blood and the fibroblasts of three different tissue cultures. The karyotype of the 46,XY cell line predominated in all cultures except the cultured-fibroblasts from yellow gonadal tissues. STR marker analysis, ABO grouping and HLA study from the patient were identified a single haplotype in the patient from the mother and two different haplotypes from the father. Two kinds of tissues in the gonad were observed by histopathological examination. The yellow tissue was ovary and the white one was testis.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Histopathological examination and chromosomal analysis combined with FISH are very useful methods for the diagnosis of true hermaphroditism. Blood typing, HLA and short tandem repeat microsatellite markers afford strong evidence for confirming tetragametic chimerism. The mechanism of tetragametic chimerism in true hermaphroditism can be explained by a parthenogenetic division of a haploid nucleu into two identical gametes, followed by fertilization with both X and Y spermatozoa and then developed into an organism.</p>

Role of sperm DNA integrity in male infertility / 中华男科学杂志

The sperm DNA integrity is important for the success of natural or assisted fertilization, as well as normal development of the embryo, fetus and child. Some investigations have demonstrated that when the damaged spermatozoa DNA of the husband exceeds than 30%, the couple has very low potential of natural fertility. Several methods are available for the assessment of sperm DNA integrity, which is considered to be a better marker of male fertility potential than conventional semen parameters. Furthermore, monitering sperm DNA integrity may become an important part of the evaluation for couples seeking assisted reproductive techniques such as intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). Finally, the effects of cryopreservation and preparation techniques on sperm DNA integrity are summarized.
