ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE To compare two different procedures of blood donation in volunteer donors,which lead to different discard rates of blood,different donation reaction rates and the satisfaction of the donor agency,so as to seek the better procedure bringing less discard of blood and more convenience for the military donor agency and blood center. METHODS In group A,3 667 donors blood was collected before the tests and retests for transfusion transmitted diseases(TTD) were done.While in group B,4 185 donors were taken blood samples for pre-donation test.The blood collection was performed 4 hours later. RESULTS In group A,3 652 units of blood were collected,of which 69 units were discarded on account of positive results in test and retest.Meanwhile,in group B 3 718 units of blood were collected from the donors who passed the pre-donation test for TTD.As a result,34 units of blood were discarded because of the positive results in retest.The discard rates of blood were 1.89% and 0.91% while the donation reaction rates were 2.22% and 3.98%,respectively.in two procedures.The discard rates of blood in group A were higher than those in group B.But the donation reaction rate in group B was higher than that in group A. CONCLUSIONS The discard rate of blood in the procedure collecting before test is higher than that in the procedure testing before collection.But the donation reaction rate is low and the waiting period for donation is short in the former procedure,which is suitable for low TTD infections population of military agencies.
ABSTRACT
Objective To compare the specificity, sensitivity, titers, and rapidity of four methods including papain technique, anti-globulin technique, polybrene test, and micro-column gel test for determination of IgG red blood cell antibodies. Methods Twelve kinds of IgG red blood cell antibodies such as anti-D, anti-E, anti-C, anti-c, anti-e, anti-Jk a, anti-Jk b, anti-Fy a, anti-Fy b, anti-k, anti-S, and anti-s were checked by the four methods. Results Seven kinds of IgG red blood cell antibodies including anti-D, anti-E, anti-C, anti-c, anti-e, anti-Jk a, and anti-Jk b were detected using papain technique (7/12). All of the 12 kinds of IgG antibodies were detected by anti-globulin technique (12/12). Eleven kinds of IgG red blood cell antibodies except anti-k were examined with polybrene test (11/12) and all the antibodies were also determinated by micro-column gel test (12/12). The titers of the antibodies determination suggested that papain technique was less sensitive than other three methods, while the micro-column gel test was more sensitive than other three methods in examination of all the antibodies. The lasting time of four techniques were: papain technique 45 min, anti-human globulin technique 60 min, polybrene test 5 min, and micro-column gel test 30 min. Conclusion Papain technique has some limitation in determination of IgG antibodies and anti-globulin technique is complicated because of long period incubation and multiple wash of red blood cells. Polybrene test is the most simple and convenient technique for determination of IgG antibodies. Micro-column gel test is the most sensitive method in determination of IgG antibodies.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the factors affecting insufficient blood collection from volunteer donors. Methods Volunteer blood donors in our hospital were divided into two groups: group A (volunteer donors from January 2001 to December 2003) and group B (volunteer donors from January to June in 2004) after improving the environment of blood collection and service quality. The cases and main affecting factors of insufficient blood collection were analysed. Results The percentage of cases with insufficient blood collection in group A and group B was 0.95% and 0.53%, respectively, which had a significant difference between the two groups (P
ABSTRACT
In this study, cryopreservated platelets were transfused to 1560 patients. of them, 536 were patients with acute leukaemia, 285 with anemia, 253 with thrombocytopenia due to chemical or radicalized treat, 438 in perioperation, and 48 with DIC or hemorrhage of rupture esophagus varix. The storage time of cryopreserved platelets ranged from one week to thirteen months. Most of the cryopreserved platelets had not been washed before application and no obvious adverse-effects were observed except for garlic smell in patients' exhalation after transfusing cryopreserved platelets. The results showed that transfusion of cryopreserved platelets has a remarkable on effect hemostasis and can enhance the platelet count in peripheral blood. Compared with liquid-preserved platelets, cryopreserved platelets for clinic use have the following advantages:1) the potentiality of large stock, 2) much longer shelf life, 3) higher safety, 4) superior hemostasis effect, and 5) capacity to meet emergent massive clinic demand.
