ABSTRACT
【Objective】 To establish a rare blood group information supply platform in Shaanxi Province. 【Methods】 The rare blood group information supply platform consists of sample registration, result registration, donor files and inventory blood. The blood donation codes of voluntary blood donors were recorded for blood typing, and the antigen identification results of each blood group system were registered, all stored in the rare blood type information supply platform. When receiving an application for unusual or rare blood type missing multiple conventional antigens or a certain high-frequency antigen, the corresponding antigen negative blood donors and their blood status (in stock or not) were queried from the donor profile module of the platform, and the inventory of blood of rare blood type was monitored dynamically. 【Results】 The results showed that 5.060% (273/5 398) of rare Rh phenotype donors, 1.540‰ (51/33 010) of donors lacking multiple regular antigens, and 13 O-type donors lacking high-frequency antigens were recorded in the rare blood type information supply platform. Among them, 0.019‰ (3/158 484) of Jk(a-b-) phenotype, 0.436‰ (2/4 586) of Di(a+b-) phenotype, and 4.030‰ (8/1 983) of Fy (a-b+) phenotype were stored in the blood bank for rare blood type. 【Conclusion】 The establishment of rare blood group information supply platform can meet the urgent demand for blood of rare blood types in clinical practice and ensure the safety of blood transfusion.
ABSTRACT
【Objective】 To screen individuals with rare blood type of Kidd, Diego, Duffy blood group system among the voluntary blood donor in Shaanxi province and to establish on-line and physical database of rare blood type. 【Methods】 Jk(a-b-)phenotype donors were screened by 2 mol/L urea hemolysis test. Blood donors with Di(a+ b-) phenotype were screened by genotyping; Fy(a-) and D-- phenotype donors were screened by modified antiglobulin assay. 【Results】 Three cases of Jk(a-b-) phenotype were detected out of 158 484 voluntary blood donors. The distribution frequency of Jk(a-b-) phenotype was 0.019‰. Di(a+ b-) phenotype was detected in 2(0.436‰) cases out of 4 586 voluntary blood donor. Fy(a-) phenotype was detected in 8(4.034‰) cases out of 1 983 voluntary blood donors. D-- phenotype was not detected in 29 430 voluntary blood donors. 【Conclusion】 The on-line database of Kidd, Diego, Duffy blood group system had been established by large-size screening of blood donor samples, which can conclude the region′s population distribution and genetic characteristics of RBC blood group. And physical database could further be established using the technology of red blood cells cryopreservation when the conditionspermit, so as to provide the most compatible blood for the clinical effectively improve blood transfusion safety, and provide data support for blood early warning.
ABSTRACT
【Objective】 To identify the antibody specificity in a pregnant women who had no history of blood transfusion but presented the antibodies against high-frequency antigens. 【Methods】 ABO, RhD blood group antigens were identified by saline. Antibody screening and identification were performed by saline and indirect Coomb’s technique. Further antibody identification tests were conducted using papain, trypsin and chymotrypsin-treated cells. Antibody titer in serum was tested. PCR amplification and sequencing analysis of 16 exons of ABCG2 gene were conducted. 【Results】 The blood type of the patient were B, RhD positive. The serum reacted with antibody screening/identified cells by indirect antiglobin test(both 2+ ) but not by saline. The agglutination was enhanced after papain treatment (4+ ), but remained unchanged after trypsin and chymotrypsin treatment (2+ ). The IgG titer was 1∶2. The sequencing analysis of ABCG2 gene revealed a homozygous nonsense mutation(c.376C>T, p. Gln126X) in exon 4 of the women. 【Conclusion】 In this case, the development of anti-Jra in Jr(a-) mother was stimulated by mother-child serology incompatibility during pregnancy.
ABSTRACT
【Objective】 To investigate the gene frequency and polymorphism of 12 RBC blood group systems, including RHCE, Lw, Duffy, Kidd, MNS, Scianna, Colton, Dombrock, Kell, Diego, Yt, and Lutheran blood group systems in Mongolian in Inner Mongolia, so as to provide data for the establishment of rare blood group registry in this region. 【Methods】 Twelve blood groups of 220 Mongolian people in Inner Mongolia were genotyped and analyzed by Fluo-PCR. 【Results】 The genes frequency of the 12 rare blood group was as follows: 1)RhCE, C=0.613 6, c=0.386 4, E=0.265 9, e=0.734 1; MNS, M=0.609 1, N=0.390 9, S=0.063 6, s=0.931 8, Mur=0; Duffy, Fya=0.856 8, Fyb=0.143 2; Kidd, Jka=0.522 7, Jkb=0.477 3; Diego, Dia=0.027 3, Dib=0.972 7, Wra=0, Wrb=1; Dombrock, Doa=0.163 6, Dob=0.836 4. 2) Kell, K=0.002 3, k=0.997 7, Kpa=0.009 1, Kpb=0.990 9; Yt, Yta=0.986 4, Ytb=0.013 6. 3) Lw, Lwa=1, Lwb=0; Sc2=0; Colton, Coa=1, Cob=0; Lutheran, Lua=0, Lub=1. The 220 Mongolian people with Lw, Scianna, Colton and Lutheran were all homozygous, and their genotypes were Lwa/Lwa, Sc1/Sc1, Lub/Lub and Coa/Coa, respectively. 【Conclusion】 The RHCE, MNS, Duffy, Kidd, Diego and Dombrock blood types of Mongolian population in Inner Mongolia are polymorphic with certain distribution characteristics. The MNS blood group system does not conform to the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium(P<0.05), which may be related to the sample size or genetic changes. Kell, Lw, Scianna, Colton, Yt and Lutheran showed a monomorphic distribution.
ABSTRACT
Objective Preoperative autologous blood donation ( PABD) may reduce the need for allogeneic blood , but it may also cause a short massive blood loss in pregnant women , and its fetal and maternal safety has to be adequately assessed .This study was to evaluate the feasibility and safety of PABD for pregnant women and their fetuses . Methods A prospective observational study was conducted among the women who met the inclusion criteria and gave birth in Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital between January and December 2013 .According to the clinical validation of risk stratification criteria for peripartum hemorrhage of California 2013 , the ca-ses were classified into a low-, a medium-, and a high-risk group.Data on blood donation procedures , obstetric outcomes, and blood transfusions were collected after delivery for analysis . Results Totally, 92 pregnant women accomplished 115 blood donations .The median volumes of the donated blood were 300, 300, and 400 mL in the low-, medium-, and high-risk groups, respectively ( P>0.001).There were no significant changes in HR , SBP and SpO2 during the blood donation procedures (P>0.05) except for the fall of diastolic blood pressure by an average of 3.4 mmHg (P0.05), which were similar to those in the cases who donated twice , with no significant differences before and after the donation (P>0.05). Homologous blood transfusion was performed for 5 cases (17.9%) in the high-risk group, with the volume of blood loss >2000 mL in all the cases.All the newborns survived without asphyxia and there was no perinatal death . Conclusion PABD can provide timely autologous whole blood donation for pregnant women .Under strict management , PABD is feasible and safe for pregnant patients who are at a high risk for massive blood loss during delivery or have a rare type of blood no readily available .
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: To find compatible rare bloods, the Korean Red Cross (KRC) blood center is currently testing many units randomly selected from the units in storage. Since this procedure is usually very time-consuming, it is necessary to establish a new donor management system for the rare blood types. METHODS: We evaluated 261 units of red blood cells (RBCs), which were supplied as compatible bloods to the requests of hospitals in 2003. RESULTS: A total of 14 hospitals requested 248 units of compatible RBCs for their 39 patients through 64 occasions and 261 units were supplied. The blood types of 35 patients were identified using the medical records of the hospitals. A total of 19 kinds of specific antigens were negative and, among them, 10 kinds of single specific antigens were negative and 9 kinds of multiple antigens were negative. The frequencies of the negative antigens were C+e(17.9%), E+c(10.3%) and Jka(10.3%), respectively. The number of tested blood units was 1,894 and the rate of compatibility was 13.8%. The mean age of 257 blood donors was 22.5 and, among them, 220 donors (85.6%) were multiple donors with 7.5 collections on average. CONCLUSION: We conclude that the rare blood type donor registration system is necessary and suggest the following preconditions. First, the results of compatible blood test and irregular antibody screening test for the blood donor need to be registered automatically by the blood information management system(BIMS). Second, the test system should be improved to enhance the irregular antibody detection rate. Third, establishment of a frozen-thawing system for RBCs is needed. Fourth, the donors need to be informed of the results of their rare blood type, if any, including irregular antibody. Fifth, a new organization should be established to manage the rare blood type donor registration system. Finally, well cooperation with hospitals and KRC blood center is needed to ensure the stability of blood service for rare blood type RBCs.
