RESUMO
Objective Analyze the characteristics of delayed apheresis platelet donors due to health consultation or ex-amination,and the influencing factors of recall in Guangzhou,and to provide evidence for recruitment strategy.Methods 5 960 delayed apheresis platelet donors from January fisrt,2022 to June 30th,2022 were collected in Guangzhou Blood Center and fol-lowed up to August31th,2023.Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the influence of sex,age,times of blood donation and length of blood donation on recall.Results Among the 5 960 delayed platelet donors,164(2.75%)were permanently un-suitable for blood donation.The most common reason was allergy.Among the 5 796(97.25%)delayed blood donors,the most common reason was abnormal blood routine.Analysis of factors associated with delayed donor recall found that male donors were more likely than female donors[OR =1.16,95%CI(1.01,1.34)],blood donors aged 26-35[OR =1.65,95%CI(1.41,1.92)],36-45[OR=1.90,95%CI(1.55,2.31)]or 46-60[OR =2.63,95%CI(1.96,3.53)]compared with those aged 18-25,blood donors who were blocked forless than 14 days[OR =4.22,95%CI(2.73,6.52)]orfor 15-89 days[OR =5.24,95%CI(3.42,8.03)]compared with those who were blocked for more than or equal to 90 days,the recall rate of repeat donors was higher than that of first-time donors[OR=6.78,95%CI(5.62,8.19)].Conclusion In order to improve the recall rate of apheresis platelet donors,we should pay more attention to the education of young donors and first-time donors,also consider a voluntary recall by text message or phone after a donor has been prevented from donating blood.
RESUMO
【Objective】 To study the CD4 T cell epitopes in Core and NS3 protein of genotype 1(GT1) and 6(GT6) of hepatitis C virus(HCV). 【Methods】 A total of 298 overlapping peptides(16-mer) spanning Core and NS3 protein of GT1 and GT6 HCV were synthesized. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells(PBMCs) from 17 HCV+ and 7 healthy blood donors were stimulated by peptide pools, followed by evaluating T cell response by IFN-γ ELISPOT, by which 21 peptides with positive results were found. These peptides were further applied to individually stimulate 20 HCV+ and 18 healthy PBMCs. The differences of responsive frequencies to the 21 positive peptides between the two study groups were compared. 【Results】 Pooled and individual peptide stimulation tests showed that HCV+ PBMCs were responsive to the stimulation of 5 peptides(GT1 NS31273-1288 and NS31315-1330; GT6 NS31033-1048, NS31087-1102 and NS31351-1366), with a responsive frequency ranging 18.9%-27.0%. In contrast, healthy PBMCs were not or low responsive(0%-4.0%) to these five peptides. The responsive frequencies were statistically different between the two groups(P<0.05). No reported epitopes in IEDB were found identical with these 5 peptides via sequence alignment. 【Conclusion】 Our study identified novel CD4 T cell epitopes in NS3 protein of GT1 and GT6 HCV, which has potential application value for the research and development of HCV vaccine.
