ABSTRACT

【Objective】 To investigate the feasibility of leucocyte-reduced pooled platelet concentrates from whole blood stored at 4℃, and provide theoretical basis for the components preparation. 【Methods】 The collected 400 mL ACD-B anticoagulant whole blood was randomly divided into two groups, stored at 4℃ and room temperature. The buffy coat was prepared within 6 hours and store at 22℃ until next day to prepare leucocyte-reduced pooled platelet concentrates. Platelet samples on day 1, 3, 5 and 7 were taken for the blood cell count and related parameter detection. The pH, glucose and lactic acid content were determined to reflect the metabolic status, and the thromboelastography, platelet aggregation rate and PAC-1 and CD62P expression were determined to reflect the function and activation of platelets. The difference in platelets between two groups were analyzed. 【Results】 With the extension of storage time, the count of leucocyte-reduced pooled platelet concentrates decreased gradually, but the platelets distribution width (PDW), mean platelet volume (MPV) and platelet-larger cell ratio (P-LCR) increased gradually in two groups, with no statistical significance (P>0.05).The pH and glucose contents in two groups gradually decreased, but the lactic acid content gradually increased, with no significant difference (P>0.05). The thrombelastogram showed MA value that reflecting platelet function has no significant change during the storage, and there was no significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05). The aggregation rates decreased while the expression of PAC-1 and CD62P increased gradually with the prolongation of preservation time, with no significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05). 【Conclusion】 There is no significant difference in platelet count, function and activation between whole blood stored at 4℃ and at room temperature within 6 hours. Whole blood stored at 4℃ within 6 hours can be considered as the raw material for leucocyte-reduced pooled platelet concentrates.

ABSTRACT

There has been a growing amount of evidence that a balanced blood component transfusion with roughly equal ratio of units of packed red blood cells, fresh frozen plasma, and platelets leads to better outcomes in massive transfusion resuscitation of trauma victims. Therefore, the great interest of massive transfusion protocol (MTP) with whole blood was aroused. Low titer group O whole blood (LTOWB) is implemented in routine use for civilian prehospital ambulance services in large trauma centers of most European and American countries nowadays. There is a growing body of evidence to date to support that early use of LTOWB in patients with life-threatening bleeding improve their survival. In view of the current situation of whole blood supply in our country, most trauma resuscitation guidelines still recommend balanced component transfusion for MTPs in the early stage of resuscitation. The research and application of LTOWB abroad will be introduced in this article.

ABSTRACT

Background: The aim of this study was to assess clinico-epidemiological profile, prevalent treatment practices and outcome of snake bite patients in a tertiary care hospital in a hilly North central region of Himachal Pradesh. Methods: A hospital record based retrospective descriptive study was done which included demographic data, clinical profile, prevalent traditional treatment methods of snake bite, treatment given at hospital and outcome among 144 patients. Results: The 123 (83%) patients were young (age group of 17-50 years) and number of female patients was 89 (62%), 29 (38%) more than male patients. Most of snake bite cases recorded, presented in the months of July to September 56 (72.7%). The most frequently bitten sites were the upper limbs particularly left hand. 61 (42%) of patients presented without any features of envenomation. Hematotoxicity was the commonest presentation in 68 (82%) of patients followed by neuroparalysis in 26 (18%) of the symptomatic cases. Green snake (Green pit viper) was the commonest snake seen. Cure rate in our study was more than 80%. Major reason for delayed presentation was consultation of traditional healers. Conclusions: In the tropics and subtropics, snake bite is a life threatening health hazard especially in poor rural people who usually waste precious time by indulging in harmful activities. This needs public as well as health care workers’ awareness and prompt intervention in a health care facility.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Background: Twenty-minute whole blood clotting test (20WBCT) and Modified Lee and White (MLW) method are the most routinely employed bedside tests for detecting coagulopathic snake envenomation. Our study compared the diagnostic utility of MLW and 20WBCT for snakebite victims at a tertiary care hospital in Central Kerala, South India. Methods: This single-center study recruited 267 patients admitted with snake bites. 20WBCT and MLW were performed simultaneously at admission along with the measurement of Prothrombin Time (PT). The diagnostic utility of 20WBCT and MLW was determined by comparing the sensitivity (Sn), specificity (Sp), positive and negative predictive values, likelihood ratios, and accuracy at admission with an INR value > 1.4. Results: Out of 267 patients, 20 (7.5%) patients had VICC. Amongst those who had venom-induced consumption coagulopathy (VICC), MLW was prolonged for 17 patients, (Sn 85% 95% confidence interval [CI]: 61.1-96.0) whereas 20WBCT was abnormal for 11 patients (Sn 55%, 95% CI: 32.04-76.17). MLW and 20WBCT were falsely positive for the same patient (Sp 99.6%, 95% CI: 97.4-99.9%). Conclusion: MLW is more sensitive than 20WBCT to detect coagulopathy at the bedside amongst snakebite victims. However, further studies are necessary for standardizing bedside coagulation tests in snakebite cases.

ABSTRACT

La transfusión masiva plantea desafíos clínicos, organizacionales y logísticos para el personal de la salud en general y los servicios de Medicina Transfusional en particular. No existe una definición universalmente aceptada de transfusión masiva, las definiciones más comúnmente utilizadas se basan en el número de unidades de sangre administradas dentro de un cierto período de tiempo. La mayoría de los eventos de transfusión masiva ocurren en el contexto de hemorragias graves en pacientes quirúrgicos, politraumatizados, con hemorragia gastrointestinal u obstétrica. La reanimación de control de daños y los protocolos de transfusión masiva son las estrategias más utilizadas actualmente para el tratamiento inicial, seguidas de un tratamiento personalizado, dirigido por objetivos, mediante la monitorización de la coagulación en tiempo real mediante estudios viscoelásticos. Existen una serie de controversias alrededor del tratamiento óptimo, incluyendo el uso de sangre total, la relación de hemocomponentes a utilizar, el uso de concentrados de factores de la coagulación, y la indicación óptima del ácido tranexámico. El estudio de los productos ideales para el tratamiento de los pacientes con sangrado masivo se ha convertido en un área de gran interés de la investigación científica. El contexto clínico en el que ocurrió el evento hemorrágico, el número de hemocomponentes transfundidos, la edad del paciente y las comorbilidades son los predictores más importantes de la sobrevida a corto y largo plazo. Esta revisión narrativa explora el estado actual del conocimiento sobre la transfusión masiva, así como los avances que podemos esperar en el futuro cercano.


Massive transfusion poses clinical, organizational and logistic challenges for the health staff in general, and the Transfusion Medicine Services in particular. There is no universally accepted definition for massive transfusion, the most widely used being based on the number of blood units administered in a certain period of time. Most massive transfusion events occur in the context of severe hemorrhage on surgical or multiple-trauma patients or patients with gastrointestinal or obstetric bleeding. Today, damage control resuscitation and massive transfusion protocols are the most common strategies for initial treatment, followed by personalized therapy, goal-directed, my means of monitoring coagulation in real time with viscoelastic studies. There are disputes as to the best surgical treatment, including using whole blood, the relation of blood components to be used, the use of coagulation factor concentrates and the optimal indication of tranexamic acid. The study of ideal products to treat patients with massive hemorrhage has become an area of great interest for scientific research. The clinical context of the hemorrhagic event, the number of blood components transfused, patient's age and comorbilities are the most important predictors for survival in the short and long term. This narrative review explores the current state of affairs on knowledge about massive transfusion, as well as progress to be expected in the near future.

ABSTRACT

Objective@#The study aimed to determine the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on local blood supply management in the Davao Region, Philippines from 2019 to 2021 through the analysis of trends in blood supply in Davao Region, Philippines.@*Methodology@#Secondary data from two blood centers in the Davao Region for the years 2019 to 2021 were used to determine the trends on blood donation supply. To evaluate trends, the overall number of blood donors and the quantities of various types of blood components in whole blood, packed red blood cells (PRBCs), fresh frozen plasma (FFPs) and platelet concentrate have been compared between pre-pandemic, pandemic periods and as restrictions eased.@*Results@#A substantial decrease of 51.6% in the number of blood donors was seen during 2021 in comparison with 2019. The trend in collection by blood components also showed a significant trend from 2019 to 2021, whole blood (200.8%), packed RBCs (37.1%), fresh frozen plasma (113.6%). While the platelet concentrate supply declined by 34.9% from 2019 to 2020, an increase of 10.7% was noted onwards to 2021.@*Conclusion@#The results demonstrate that during the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a major reduction in donation and supply of blood. The challenges faced by blood banks in ensuring a stable and sufficient blood supply are highlighted by the decrease in the number of donors and by the different trends in the supply of blood components. The targeted efforts to promote blood donation and enhance the resilience of the blood supply during and after the pandemic is important.

ABSTRACT

【Objective】 To explore the difference of demographics and influencing factors of motivations between whole blood donors and plasmapheresis donors, so as to provide scientific reference for effective recruitment strategy. 【Methods】 A total of 200 whole blood donors from Guangyuan Blood Center and 200 plasmapheresis donors from Jiange Plasmapheresis Station were selected in August 2021 for on-site questionnaire survey using the method of cross-sectional survey. Statistical analysis was performed by chi-square test, univariate and multivariate logistic regression. 【Results】 There were significant differences in gender, age, occupation, education level and annual family income between whole blood donors and plasmapheresis donors (P<0.05). Males accounted for a large proportion of whole blood donors(124/196, 63.3%), whereas females accounted for a large proportion of plasmapheresis donors(117/198, 59.1%). There was little difference in the number of whole blood donors in different age groups, while the age of plasmapheresis donors was concentrated in 40~59 years old (167/198, 84.3%). In terms of occupation, civil servants (including public institutions) accounted the highest proportion in whole blood donors (41/196, 20.9%), and farmers accounted the highest proportion (152/198, 76.8%) in plasmapheresis donors. The number of whole blood donors increased with the education level, and donors with college/university and above degree accounted the largest proportion (80/196, 40.8%). Plasmapheresis donors with junior middle school education and college/university and above accounted the largest and smallest proportion (49.5% vs 4.5%). The annual family income of whole blood donors ranged from 30 000 to 80 000 yuan accounted the largest proportion (109/196, 55.6%), and the annual family income of plasmapheresis donors less than 30 000 yuan accounted the largest proportion (132/198, 66.7%). 【Conclusion】 There were significant statistical differences in gender, age, education level, occupation and annual family income between whole blood and plasmapheresis donors. Therefore, targeted recruitment strategies should be formulated.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To study the profile of microRNAs (miRNAs) in the peripheral blood of children with drug-resistant epilepsy, and to find diagnostic biomarkers for early identification of drug-resistant epilepsy in children.Methods:Retrospective study.Five peripheral blood samples were collected from children in drug-resistant epilepsy group (group R), drug-responsive epilepsy group (group F) composed of the children with epilepsy in pediatric neurology clinic of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2018 to June 2019 and healthy control group (group J) composed of healthy children who underwent physical examination in the children′s health care clinic at the same time for analyzing miRNA profiles by high-throughput sequencing.In addition, peripheral blood samples were collected from children in R′ group (5 cases), F′ group (7 cases) and J′ group (6 cases) similarly for validating expression levels of 11 candidate miRNAs by quantificational real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). Receiver operating characteristic curves (ROC) were plotted to analyze the diagnostic potential of 7 targeted miRNAs in distinguishing children with drug-resistant epilepsy from drug-responsive epilepsy.Target genes of the 7 validated miRNAs were predicted using online databases, which were then analyzed by Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) and gene ontology (GO). Kruskal-Wallis rank sum test was used for comparison among the three groups.Results:High-throughput sequencing found that compared with group F, there were 68 differentially expressed miRNAs in group R, involving 22 up-regulated and 46 down-regulated miRNAs.qPCR results showed that, expression trends of 7 miRNAs (let-7f, miR-99a-5p, miR-99b-5p, and miR-125a-5p, miR-125b-5p, miR-142-5p, miR-100) were consistent with high-throughput sequencing results among the 11 selected miRNAs.ROC analysis found that when the cut-off values of miR-99a-5p, miR-99b-5p, miR-125a-5p, miR-125b-5p, miR-142-5p and miR-100 were greater than 0.56, 1.00, 3.17, 2.24, 2.09 and 0.59, respectively, their area under curve (AUC) (≥0.871), sensitivity (≥80.0%) and specificity (≥85.7%) were relatively high, which were expected to be diagnostic marker for drug-resistant epilepsy in children.Among them, the diagnostic potential of miR-125b-5p was the best.Bioinformatics analysis found that miR-125b-5p was enriched in the regulation of hypoxia inducible factor-1 signaling pathway, insulin signaling pathway, pluripotent stem cell signaling pathway, mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling pathway, sphingomyelin signaling pathway, neurotrophic protein signaling pathway and mammalian target of rapamycin signaling pathway.Conclusions:The miRNA profile in the whole blood of children with drug-resistant epilepsy is significantly different from that in children with drug-responsive epilepsy.miR-125b-5p is expected to be a potential biomarker of drug-resistant epilepsy in children.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To prepare the control materials of point-of-care(POC) glucose testing and evaluate their homogeneity, stability and matrix effects.Methods:The high, medium and low concentration control materials were prepared from patient leftover whole blood, which was centrifuged, fixed, washed, filtered, and aliquoted. The homogeneity and stability of the control materials were evaluated according to CNAS (China National Accreditation Service for Conformity Assessment, CNAS) GL29:2010"Reference materials-General and statistical principles for certification". The control materials were used to evaluate the matrix effects in POC glucose detection systems by Deming regression, according to the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) EP14-A3. Meanwhile, these control materials were used as the internal quality control, and their coefficients of variation ( CV) were calculated. One-way ANOVA and t-Test were used to analyze the results. Results:The homemade materials at three concentrations showed good homogeneity[ F< F0.05(9, 20)]. When the control materials were stored at 2-8 ℃, the stable phases for the opened and closed bottles were 10 days and 15 days, respectively, and there was no statistically significant difference between the results of the first day( P>0.05). The control materials at three concentrations also showed good applicability and there were no matrix effects in 10 POC glucose systems. When the control materials were detected in the internal quality control, the CVs of the high, medium and low concentrations were 0.63%, 0.66% and 1.65%, respectively, which were all below 7.5%. Conclusions:The homemade human control materials of POC glucose testing showed good homogeneity, stability and applicability. They met the requirements of quality control in hospital settings, which provided a good application prospect of the quality management of POC glucose testing.

ABSTRACT

Background Zinc is a trace element essential for normal fetal heart development, and excess zinc can be toxic. The relationship between maternal and fetal zinc levels and the development of congenital heart disease (CHD) in the offspring is unclear. Objective To study the effects of maternal and neonatal zinc exposure levels on the risk of developing CHD in the offspring. Methods The data and biological samples of the study subjects were derived from the birth cohort established by Gansu Provincial Maternity and Child Care Hospital in Lanzhou from 2010 to 2012. Questionnaire surveys were conducted at baseline in the first trimester and at follow-up visits in the second trimester, the third trimester, and 42 d after delivery. Maternal venous blood during the third trimester and neonatal umbilical venous blood at delivery were collected, and information on their birth outcomes was extracted from medical records. Ninety-seven children with CHD diagnosed by echocardiography at birth and confirmed at the follow-up after 42 d were selected as the case group, and 194 healthy full-term infants were selected as the control group, 1∶2 matched for maternal age and geographical location from the database. The zinc concentrations in whole blood of pregnant mothers and umbilical cord blood of fetuses in both groups were measured by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. According to the quartiles P25 and P75 of zinc levels in the whole blood of pregnant mothers and neonatal cord blood in the control group, zinc exposure was divided into three groups: low, medium, and high. After adjusting for maternal vaginal bleeding in early pregnancy, pre-pregnancy folic acid and vitamin supplementation, birth weight, and umbilical cerclage confounders, a multiple conditional logistic regression model was applied to analyze the associations between maternal whole blood and fetal umbilical cord blood zinc levels and the risk of CHD in the offspring, and a further subgroup analysis was performed by disease classification. Results The medians (P25, P75) of maternal whole blood zinc levels in the case group and the control group were 5.034 (3.456, 6.644) and 4.693 (3.411, 5.646) mg·L−1, respectively, with significant differences between the two groups (P=0.029). The medians (P25, P75) of neonatal cord blood zinc level was 2.153 (1.479, 2.405) mg·L−1 in the case group and 1.636 (1.304, 1.979) mg·L−1 in the control group, with significant differences between the two groups (P<0.001). The zinc levels of maternal whole blood and neonatal cord blood in the simple CHD group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P<0.05). The multiple conditional logistic regression model showed that compared with the maternal medium zinc exposure level group (3.41-5.65 mg·L−1), the risk of offspring CHD was 2.225 times of the high exposure level group (>5.65 mg·L−1) (OR=2.225, 95%CI: 1.017-4.868). Compared with the neonatal medium zinc exposure level group (1.30-1.98 mg·L−1), the neonatal high exposure level group (>1.98 mg·L−1) also had an increased risk of CHD (OR=4.132, 95%CI: 1.801-9.480). The subgroup analysis results showed that compared with corresponding medium exposure level groups, the risk of simple CHD in the offspring of the maternal high zinc exposure level group was increased (OR=4.081, 95%CI: 1.427-11.669), and the risks of simple CHD (OR=7.122, 95%CI: 2.126-23.854) and complex CHD (OR=5.165, 95%CI: 1.859-14.346) of neonates of the neonatal high zinc exposure level group were increased. Conclusion Under the exposure levels of the study population, high concentrations of zinc exposure in pregnant mothers and neonates may be associated with the incidence of CHD.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE To intr oduce multidisciplinary collaborative blood glucose management mode (hereinafter referred as to blood glucose management mode of the whole hospital )of the whole hospital with the participation of clinical pharmacists ,and to evaluation it effects on the blood glucose management of perioperative diabetes patients. METHODS The process of blood glucose management mode of the whole hospital in Drum Tower Hospital Affiliated to Medical School of Nanjing University and the work content of clinical pharmacists were introduced. Three hundred patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who underwent elective surgery were included and randomly divided into general consultation group (control group )and hospital-wide glucose management group (intervention group ). The effect of glucose management and indicators such as preoperative waiting time and total length of stay were compared between 2 groups. RESULTS In the blood glucose management team of the whole hospital ,the physicians,clinical pharmacists and nurses of blood glucose management in endocrinology department were the core members ,and the management process was divided into initial management ,daily management ,discharge management and follow-up. As the team secretary ,the clinical pharmacists were mainly responsible for daily summarizing and managing the blood glucose level and special conditions of patients ,regularly evaluating the management effect ,carrying out pharmaceutical ward rounds ,medical order review, pharmaceutical care , timely assessing the blood glucose of patients and guiding the rational use of drugs. Compared with before intervention , after 3 days ofintervention,the levels of fasting plasma glucose (FPG)and postprandial blood glucose (PBG) were decreased significantly in 2 groups(P<0.05);intervention group was significantly lower than control group (P<0.05). Compared with control group , the fluctuation of blood glucose in intervention group was significantly reduced (P<0.05),standard deviation of blood glucose had reached the targeted control level , and the postprandial glucose excursion and the largest amplitude of glycemic excursion were close to the targeted control level ;the rate of bl ood glucose reaching the standard before operation and at discharge were significantly increased (P<0.05);the preoperative waiting time and hospitalization days were significantly shortened (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS The multidisciplinary collaborative blood glucose management mode of the whole hospital with the participation of clinical pharmacists can control the blood glucose level of diabetic patients in the perioperative period more stably and effectively ,and has practical significance for the disease treatment and prognosis of patients.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To analyze the differences in whole blood selenium (Se), zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), and iron (Fe) levels of rural older adults among areas with different soil selenium levels, and explore the main factors associated with the six nutrient elements status, so as to provide a basis for further evaluating the health risks of people in areas with different soil selenium levels.Methods:Four administrative villages were randomly selected from the Se-deficient (soil Se content < 0.175 mg/kg), Se-sufficient (soil Se content 0.175 - < 0.400 mg/kg), Se-rich (soil Se content 0.400 - < 3.000 mg/kg) and Se-excessive (soil Se content ≥3.000 mg/kg) areas, respectively, in Enshi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture (Enshi Prefecture) of Hubei Province in 2017 - 2018. And 100 elderly people aged 60 years or older (half male and half female) were randomly selected as the survey subjects in each servey site. The basic information such as general demography and lifestyle was collected through face-to-face questionnaires. Physical examination was performed and fasting venous blood was collected in the morning. The contents of blood Se, Zn, Cu, Mg, Ca, and Fe were determined by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. The main factors associated with the six nutrient elements status were analyzed.Results:A total of 416 subjects were included, including 208 males and 208 females, whose average age was (72.43 ± 5.25) years, and body mass index (BMI) was (22.67 ± 3.49) kg/m 2. There were significant differences of blood Se, Zn, Cu, Mg, Ca and Fe levels between the areas with different Se levels ( Z/F = 288.30, 3.24, 14.81, 29.14, 131.28, 3.37, P < 0.05). Compared with Se-deficient and Se-sufficient areas, blood Se level was higher in Se-rich and Se-excessive areas and blood Zn level was lower in Se-excessive area ( P < 0.05); compared with Se-sufficient area, blood Cu level was lower in Se-deficient, Se-rich and Se-excessive areas, but blood Mg and Ca levels were higher ( P < 0.05), and the blood Fe level was lower in Se-excessive area ( P < 0.05). There were significant differences in the deficiency rates of Se, Zn, Cu, Mg, Ca and Fe among the elderly in different Se level areas (χ 2 = 140.83, 15.39, 31.90, 17.49, 157.60, 30.33, P < 0.01). There were significant differences in blood Zn, Cu, Ca and Fe levels between two gender groups ( P < 0.05); the blood Zn and Fe levels of the smokers were higher than those of the non-smokers, and the blood Cu level was lower than that of the non-smokers ( P < 0.05); the blood Zn and Fe levels of the drinkers were higher than those of the non-drinkers ( P < 0.05). Conclusions:The levels of six nutrient elements in the whole blood of the elderly in areas with different soil Se levels are different. To assess the health risks of the population in areas with different soil Se levels, it is necessary to consider the levels of multiple nutrient elements at the same time.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Syphilis is caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum. The diagnosis is based on clinical data and serological analysis; however, the sensitivity and specificity of such tests may vary depending on the type of test and stage of the infection. In order to overcome this premise, this study utilized the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for the detection of T. pallidum DNA in whole blood samples of patients with syphilis. The blood samples from patients with or without symptoms of syphilis, but with positive results in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), were included in this study. A venereal disease research laboratory (VDRL) test was performed for all collected sera samples. For PCR, the T. pallidum DNA was extracted from the collected blood samples and a specific primer set was designed to amplify 131 nucleotides of polA (Tp0105). The specificity of the primers was evaluated with the DNA of 17 different pathogens. From a total of 314 blood samples reactive in ELISA, 58.2% (183/314) of the samples were reactive in the VDRL test. In the PCR, 54% (168/314) of the ELISA-reactive samples were positive. In both tests (VDRL and PCR) 104 samples were positive. Of 104 positive samples for both tests, 71 were at the latent stage. Based on these results, it can be concluded that PCR with the designed set of primers can be utilized as a diagnostic method for T. pallidum detection in blood samples of patients with syphilis, especially those with latent infection. In addition, it can be utilized as a supplement for serological methods to improve the diagnosis of syphilis.
