ABSTRACT
【Objective】 To investigate the relationship between ABO blood types and the risk of malignant tumors in Chaoshan area, Guangdong. 【Methods】 Chi-square test was used to analyze the distribution of ABO blood types between 45 890 patients with malignant tumors from the Cancer Hospital of Shantou University Medical College and 42 465 healthy blood donors from Shantou Central Blood Bank. 【Results】 Among the main types of malignant tumors, the distributions of ABO blood types in patients with esophageal cancer or head and neck cancer were significantly different from that in the normal population (χ2=11.16, P<0.05; χ2=74.36, P<0.05; respectively). People with type B were identified with high risk of esophageal cancer and head and neck cancer (OR=1.09, 95% CI=1.03-1.15, P<0.05; OR=1.46, 95% CI=1.34-1.60, P<0.05), whereas those with type A or O were identified with low risk of head and neck cancer (OR=0.87, 95% CI=0.79-0.96, P<0.05; OR=0.83, 95% CI=0.76-0.90, P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 ABO blood type distribution in patients with esophageal cancer or head and neck cancer in Chaoshan area may be different from that in normal population, suggesting that different ABO blood types may be associated with the risk of esophageal cancer and head and neck cancer.
ABSTRACT
【Objective】 To compare the transfusion effects of ABO homotype leukocyte depleted suspended RBC and washed RBC in patients, who present major and minor cross-match incompatibility, DAT+, IAT+ and autoantibody+ . 【Methods】 The hemoglobin and total bilirubin of patients before and after transfusion were detected, and statistical analysis was conducted by IBM SPSS Statistics 22.0 software. 【Results】 34 transfusions were performed in 17 patients with major and minor cross-match incompatibility. Both leukocyte depleted suspended RBC and washed RBC significantly increased Hb level(P0.05), with similar transfusion efficacy(P>0.05). After t, Hb levels(g/L) increased by 11.35±8.07 and 13.94±9.017, and TBIL(μmol/L) decreased by 25.76±88.63 and 6.91±9.39, respectively, after the transfusion of leukocyte depleted suspended RBC and washed RBC per unit. 【Conclusion】 For blood recipients with major and minor cross-match incompatibility, both ABO homotype leukocyte depleted suspended RBC and washed RBC, given in time, were effective. However, washed RBC is secondary choice due to long preparation time and short storage time.
ABSTRACT
【Objective】 To investigate the positive rate of platelet antibody in pregnant women and analyze the related factors. 【Methods】 A total of 620 pregnant women who underwent antenatal examination from March 2017 to July 2018 were screened for platelet antibodies by solid phase agglutination method. The relationship between platelet antibody positive rate and blood transfusion history, reproductive history and ABO blood group were analyzed, and the profile of disease were alsodiscussed. 【Results】 55 out of 620 pregnant women presented positive platelet antibody, with a positive rate of 8.87%.The platelet antibody positive rate of pregnant women with ahistory of blood transfusion (14.13%) was higher than those never transfused before(6.65%), and the platelet antibody positive rate of pregnant women with a childbirth history (10.46%) was higher than those didn′t bear before(3.52%), showing statistically significant differences (P0.05). Pregnant women with positive platelet antibodies mainly suffered from diseases such as placenta pravia, scarred uterus, placental implantation and thrombocytopenia. 【Conclusion】 Blood transfusion history, reproductive history and disease type have certain effects on the positive rate of platelet antibody in pregnant women.Screening platelet antibody in pregnant women is of great significance to prevente and reduce miscarriage during pregnancy and the occurrence of neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenic purpura(NAITP).

ABSTRACT
Objective: To study the relationship between ABO blood type and spontaneous re-canalization (SR) in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Methods: A total of 1209 consecutive AMI patients were enrolled. Based on TIMI grade, the patients were divided into 2 groups: Non-SR group, the patients with TIMI grade 0-1,n=442 and SR group, the patients with TIMI grade 2-3,n=767. The relationship between ABO blood type and SR was investigated. Results: Compared with Non-SR group, SR group had more patients with blood type O (32.3% vs 24.7%) and less blood type A (31.7% vs 24.9%). Meanwhile, we found that a lower cholesterol level was related to patients with O blood type and SR occurrence, bothP<0.05. Multi regression analysis indicated that with adjusted age, gender, BMI, hypertension, diabetes, smoking, LDL-C and C-reactive protein, ESR, fibrinogen, D-dimmer, endothelial cardiac function, blood type O may independently predict SR occurrence in AMI patients (OR=1.49, 95% CI 1.10-2.05), while blood type A may have disadvantage for SR (OR=0.65, 95% CI 0.48-0.80). Conclusion: ABO blood type has been related to SR in AMI patients, blood type O is in favor of SR, while blood type A has disadvantage for SR occurrence.

ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:During the research of ABO blood type antigen, the overwhelming majority samples of same ABO gene express a normal and same ABH antigen. But a certain amount samples with the same ABO genetic background show different antigen intensity expression as for different family or individuals. The ABO blood type has complex expression regulation mechanism. Analysis of ABO blood group serology and genetic background of these rare bi-specific AB phenotype specimens, and further studying on epigenetics may partly revealed ABO gene expression mechanism. OBJECTIVE:To study methylation of CpG island and explore the relationship between ABO gene promoter coding glycosyltransferase with dual donor specificity and ABH antigen expression. METHODS:Six samples detected as CisAB or B(A) phenotype were studied in this paper. The whole code sequences and promoter sequence of ABO gene were amplified respectively. The level of CpG methylation in promoter of ABO gene was further detected with bisulfite treatment method. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Among the six bi-specific AB phenotype samples, two previously-identified CisAB05/B(A)06 al eles with nt803C>G on the basis of B101 al ele sequence could be seen, and three additional methylated sites nt-33(30%), nt+27(50%) and nt+49(50%) were found between the two regions of CpG island in promoter of ABO gene. Two CisAB01 al eles with nt803C>G mutation on the basis of A101 sequence were found at nt-26C(10%). Other two B(A)04 al eles contained nt640A>G mutation on the basis of B101 sequence were found in the whole code sequences regions, and six additional methylated sites nt-33(10%), nt+16(50%), nt+57(60%), nt+59(60%), nt+68(60%) and nt+74(60%) were found between the two samples. No abnormity was identified in the promoter region of ABO gene. Our results indicated that the differential methylation levels in the CpG island of ABO gene promoter region may affect ABH antigens expression on the red cel membrane even if the samples had the same ABO genetic background.

ABSTRACT
Objective To study the relationship between the antigenic titer of anti-A(B) IgG in pregnant women with blood-type O and the incidence of hyperbilirubinemia in newborns with blood-type A or B.Methods The antigenic titer of anti-A(B) IgG were determined in pregnant women with blood-type O whose blood type were incompatible with their mates'.Serological tests for the umbilical blood were analyzed in the neonates with blood-type A or B.The incidence and the pathogenic time of hyperbilirubinemia in newborns were studied by gravidity and test results.Results (1) There was no significant difference in the antigenic titer of anti-A(B) IgG,test results of umbilical blood and the incidence of hyperbilirubinemia between the first and the second pregnancy (P>0.05).(2) With the antigenic titer of anti-A(B) IgG increased,there was significant difference in the positive rate of antibody releasing test to newborns,positive rate of free antibody and the incidence of hyperbilirubinemia (P<0.01).(3) The incidence of hyperbilirubinemia in neonates whose results of antibody releasing test were positive and the antigenic titer of anti-A(B) IgG≤1∶64 were much higher than control group(P<0.01).(4)There was no significant difference in the incidence of hyperbilirubinemia in 3 days after birth (P>0.05).Conclusion The gravidity is not correlative with the antigenic titer of anti-A(B) IgG and the incidence of hyperbilirubinemia in neonates.The risk of hyperbilirubinemia in neonates increases as the antigenic titer of anti-A(B) IgG in gravida ≥1∶32.The incidence of hyperbilirubinemia in neonates become higher as the antigenic titer of anti-A(B) IgG in their mother increasing,however,it has no influence on the onset time of hyperbilirubinemia in newborns.
ABSTRACT
Chimerism in humans is a rare phenomenon often initially identified in the resolution of an ABO blood type discrepancy. We report a dispermic chimera who presented with mixed field in his B antigen typing that might have been mistaken for the B3 subtype. The propositus is a healthy Korean male blood donor. Neither his clinical history nor initial molecular investigation of his ABO gene explained his mixed field agglutination with murine anti-B. Chimerism was suspected, and 9 short tandem repeat (STR) loci were analyzed on DNA extracted from blood, buccal swabs, and hair from this donor and on DNA isolated from peripheral blood lymphocytes from his parents. The propositus' red blood cells demonstrated mixed field agglutination with anti-B. Exon 6 and 7 and flanking intronic regions of his ABO gene were sequenced and revealed an O01/O02 genotype. B allele haplotype-specific PCR, along with exon 6 and 7 cloning and sequencing demonstrated a third ABO allele, B101. Four STR loci demonstrated a pattern consistent with a double paternal chromosome contribution in the propositus, thus confirming chimerism. His karyotype revealed a mosaic pattern: 32/50 metaphases were 46,XY and 18/50 metaphases demonstrated 47,XYY.

BACKGROUND: Improvement of coagulation function by acute normovolemic hemodilution (ANH) is well evidenced in modern medical practice. It has been reported that there are fixed differences in the plasma concentrations of von Willebrand factor and factor VIII according to ABO blood types. Therefore, the changes of coagulation state among ABO blood types during ANH are expected but have not yet been studied. This study was designed to establish the changes of coagulation state among ABO blood types during ANH by intraoperative thrombelastography (TEG). METHODS: Fifty one healthy adult patients scheduled for spine surgery were enrolled in this study. All patients were grouped by ABO blood types and underwent ANH after the induction of general anesthesia. While autologous blood (25% of EBV) was procured, warmed 0.9% saline, 3 times the blood volume deficit, was infused to maintain normovolemia. Platelet count, prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), factor VIII activity and TEG were performed to evaluate coagulation state before and after ANH. Statistical analysis was conducted to determine the dilutional effects and intergroup differences. RESULTS: Improvement of coagulation function after ANH was visible only by TEG, and not by PT, APTT or factor VIII activity. Fourteen of fifteen patients with type O blood showed decreased factor VIII activity to under the normal limit after ANH. In patients with blood type O, changes of APTT (P = 0.093, P = 0.086) and factor VIII activity (P = 0.001, P = 0.004) during ANH were remarkable in comparison with blood type B and AB. CONCLUSIONS: ANH enhances coagulation function evaluated by means of TEG. No difference was observed in terms of the changes of coagulation state among ABO blood types during ANH. However, ANH should be instituted cautiously in patients with type O blood because there is a possibility of impairing factor VIII activity.
