RESUMO
【Objective】 To study the genotypes of ABO ambiguous blood group samples(n=20) and identify their molecular biological characteristics. 【Methods】 The serological phenotype of the samples was analyzed by serological techniques. Seven exons of ABO gene were amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and the PCR products were directly sequenced; the genotypes and sequences of ABO subtypes were analyzed. 【Results】 The serological phenotypes of 20 samples presenting ABO ambiguous blood group were as follows: weak A antigen (n=5), weak A antigen combined with anti-A1 antibody (n=5), normal A antigen combined with anti-A1 antibody (n=2), weak B antigen (n=8). The genotypes of them were as follows: Ax02/O01 (n=3), Ael07/O01 (n=2), B313/O01 (n=2), A204/O02 (n=1), A220/O01 (n=1), Ael07/O02 (n=1), Ael02/O01 (n=1), Ael02/O02 (n=1), Ax03/O01 (n=1), Ax03/O02 (n=1), B313/O02 (n=1), B302/O01 (n=1), B302/O02 (n=1), Bw19/O02 (n=1), A102/B313 (n=1) and A101/Bw37 (n=1). 【Conclusion】 ABO genotyping technology can accurately identify the ambiguous blood group of samples, provide definite genetic information of blood group and ensure the safety of clinical transfusion.
RESUMO
With continuous discovery of tumor immune targets and continuous changes in antibody research and development technology, antibody drugs are becoming more and more widely used in clinical practice. However, some targets are not only expressed on tumor cells, but also on red blood cells. Therefore, the clinical application of antibodies against the corresponding targets may interfere with the detection of blood transfusion compatibility, resulting in difficulty in blood matching or delay of blood transfusion. This consensus summarizes the current solutions for the interference of CD38 monoclonal antibody (CD38 mAb) in transfusion compatibility testing. After analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of different methods, polybrene and sulfhydryl reducing agents [dithiothreitol (DTT) or 2-mercaptoethanol (2-Me)], as a solution for CD38 mAb interference in blood compatibility testing, are recommended for Chinese patients, so as to eliminate blood transfusion interference produce by CD38 mAb and further provide a pre-transfusion workflow for clinicians and technicians in Department of Blood Transfusion.
RESUMO
Objective To determine the utility of single energy CT value and spectrum energy curve in identifying different cause of diffuse spleen enlargement.Methods 43 patients confirmed by either surgical pathology,aspiration biopsy or clinical comprehensive diagnosis and follow-up were assessed,including lymphoma with spleen infiltration(lymphoma group,n=18) and cirrhotic splenomegaly(liver cirrhosis group,n=25).All patients underwent upper abdomen CT scans in GSI mode and the GSI data were transferred to the Workstation AW 4.6 to acquire single energy CT value(40-140 keV,10 keV's interval) and spectrum energy curve of the spleen on the venous phase.All single energy CT values and the slope of curves were comparatively analyzed through independent-samples t test.The diagnostic efficiency were evaluated by ROC analysis.Results Under 40-140 keV energy range,single energy CT values were significantly lower in the lymphoma group than in the liver cirrhosis group(all P＜0.05).The spectrum energy curve were both types of decreasing.Under 40-90 keV,100-140 keV energy range,the slop of curves in the lymphoma group(2.42 ± 0.70,0.27± 0.08) were also significantly lower than in the liver cirrhosis group (3.11 ± 0.62,0.34± 0.07),respectively(all P ＜0.05).When the slope of curve under 40-90 keV energy range was selected as a diagnostic indicator,the area under the curve(AUC) would reach 0.77.If threshold value of 1.39 was taken,the sensitivity and specificity would be equal to 86 ％ and 64 ％,respectively.Conclusion Single energy CT value and spectrum energy curve are helpful for differentiation of lymphoma with spleen infiltration from cirrhotic splenomegaly.
