RESUMO
The impact of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) on hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) necessitates high precision in HLA genotyping. Confirmatory typing for patients and their related or unrelated donors before HSCT is critical. This study seeks to standardize HLA confirmatory typing in laboratories by examining the current state of HLA genotyping in the country, building upon the National Standards and Industrial Standards for HLA, and highlighting the significance of confirmatory typing for patients and potential donors prior to HSCT. A retrospective analysis over a decade reveals initial typing errors, indicating potential issues and critical considerations in pre-analytical, analytical, and post-analytical stages. Problems are attributed to three main causes: (1) random human errors, including technical mistakes, sample mix-up, and transcription inaccuracies; (2) limitations of technical methods, such as the varied sequence ranges between confirmatory and initial typing; (3) patient factors, involving high tumor burden, the influence of certain drugs on HLA genotyping results, and the second transplantation. Solutions are proposed for these problems, along with recommendations to standardize HLA confirmatory typing.

Objective: To establish the threshold value of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) mixed antigen reagent screening test results, and to verify it by HLA single antigen reagent confirmation test results. Methods: The results of 2 255 serum samples tested for HLA antibodies by HLA mixed antigen reagent in the department of HLA Laboratory, the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from October 2017 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 1 139 samples were also tested by single antigen HLA Class-â reagent and 1 116 samples were also tested by single antigen HLA Class-â ¡ reagent. Based on the same antigens coated with both reagents, the Mean Fluorescence Intensity (MFI) and Nomalized Background ratio (NBG ratio) of 12 HLA Class-â beads and 5 HLA Class-â ¡ beads in the HLA mixed antigen reagent and the MFI of 77 anti-HLA class-â antibodies and 35 anti-HLA class-â ¡ antibodies detected by HLA single antigen reagent were recorded. The MFI and NBG ratio of HLA mixed antigen reagent beads in 1 139 or 1 116 samples were segmented according to the positive rate of antibodyies detected by the single antigen reagent corresponding to the antigens coated with each HLA mixed antigen reagent bead, and the results of the HLA mixed antigen screening test were verified by the HLA single antigen reagent confirmation test. Results: The threshold values of MFI and NBG ratio of HLA mixed antigen reagent's 17 beads were established. The MFI of No. 1 to No. 17 beads of HLA mixed antigen reagent ranged from 26.86 to 21 925.58, and the NBG ratio ranged from 0 to 434.65. According to the positive detection rate of HLA single antigen reagent corresponding to the coated antigens, the MFI and NBG ratio of the beads of HLA mixed antigen reagent were divided into positive interval, suspicious positive interval, suspicious negative interval and negative interval. The positive rates of anti-HLA class-â antibodies by HLA mixed antigen reagent and single antigen HLA Class-â reagent were 87.5% (997/1 139) and 66.3% (755/1 139). The positive rates of anti-HLA class-â ¡ antibodies were 63.4% (707/1 116) and 44.9% (501/1 116). In the samples with suspicious negative, suspicious positive and positive results of HLA class-â ãâ ¡ antibodies detected by HLA mixed antigen reagent, the positive detection rates of single antigen HLA Class-â reagent were 14.9% (17/114), 41.3% (145/351) and 91.3% (590/646), respectively. The positive detection rates of single antigen HLA Class-â ¡ reagent were 15.5% (58/375), 26.5% (81/306) and 88.8% (356/401), respectively. Conclusions: In this study, the threshold values of MFI and NBG ratio of HLA mixed antigen reagent screening test are established, and the threshold values are verified by the results of HLA single antigen reagent confirmation test. HLA mixed reagent screening test can be used for screening of HLA antibodies, and if necessary, it should be combined with HLA single antigen confirmatory test for clinical detection of HLA antibodies.

Objective: To establish prediction models for human leukocyte antigen (HLA) haplotypes and HLA genotypes, and verify the prediction accuracy. Methods: The prediction models were established based on the characteristic of HLA haplotype inheritance and linkage disequilibrium (LD), as well as the invention patents and software copyrights obtained. The models include algorithm and reference databases such as HLA A-C-B-DRB1-DQB1 high-resolution haplotypes database, B-C and DRB1-DQB1 LD database, G group alleles table, and NMDP Code alleles table. The prediction algorithm involves data processing, comparison with reference data, filtering results, probability calculation and ranking, confidence degree estimation, and output of prediction results. The accuracy of the predictions was verified by comparing them with the correct results, and the relationship between prediction accuracy and the probability distribution and confidence degree of the predicted results was analyzed. Results: The HLA haplotypes and genotypes prediction models were established. The prediction algorithm included the prediction of A-C-B-DRB1-DQB1 haplotypes according to HLA-A, B, DRB1, C, DQB1 genotypes, the prediction of C and DQB1 high-resolution results according to A, B and DRB1 high-resolution results, and the prediction of A, B, DRB1, C and DQB1 high resolution results according to the A, B and DRB1 intermediate or low resolution results. Validation results of "Predicting A-C-B-DRB1-DQB1 haplotypes basing on HLA-A, B, DRB1, C, DQB1 genotypes" model: for 787 data, the accuracy was 94.0% (740/787) with 740 correct predictions, 34 incorrect predictions, and 13 instances with no predicted results. For 847 data, the accuracy was 100% (847/847). The 2 411 and 2 594 haplotype combinations predicted from 787 and 847 data were grouped according to confidence degree, the accuracy was 100% (48/48, 114/114) for a confidence degree of 1, 96.2% (303/315) and 97.8% (409/418) for a confidence degree of 2 respectively. Validation results of "Predicting A, B, DRB1 and C, DQB1 high-resolution genotypes basing on HLA-A, B, DRB1 high, intermediate, or low resolution genotypes" model: when predicting C and DQB1 high resolution genotypes basing on A, B, and DRB1 high resolution genotypes, 89.3% (1 459/1 634) of the predictions were correct. The accuracy for the top 2 predicted probability (GPP) ranking was 79.2% (1 156/1 459), and for the top 10, it was 95.0% (1 386/1 459). Furthermore, when GPP≥90% and GPP 50%-90%, the prediction accuracy was 81.3% (209/257) and 72.8% (447/614) respectively. The accuracy of predicting C and DQB1 high resolution genotypes basing on the results of A, B, and DRB1 high resolution genotypes from the China Marrow Donor Program was 87.0% (20/23). The accuracy of predicting A, B, DRB1, C, and DQB1 high resolution genotypes basing on the results of A, B, and DRB1 intermediate or low-resolution genotypes was 70.0% (7/10) and 52.5% (21/40) respectively. When predicting whether the patient is likely to have a HLA 10/10 matched donor, the accuracy of the top 2 GPP combinations with a proportion of ≥50% was 85.7% (6/7). Conclusions: When using A, B, DRB1, C, DQB1 genotypes to predict A-C-B-DRB1-DQB1 haplotype combinations, the results with a confidence degree of 1 and 2 are reliable. When predicting C and DQB1 genotypes according to A, B and DRB1 genotypes, the top 10 results ranked by GPP are reliable, and the top 2 results with GPP≥50% are more reliable.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the outcomes of the Endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery for patients with pituitary adenomas, analyze the learning curve and provide reference for future surgeries. METHODS: Retrospective analysis was carried out on 124 patients by endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery with a single neurosurgeon over a period spanning from January 2010 to January 2014 at Peking Union Medical College Hospital.The changes of endocrine and tumor imaging before and after surgery were analysed. Operative time and complication rates of one surgeon in the early period of learning curve were compared with that in later period. RESULTS: There were significant differences in Gross total resection (GTR) rate of pituitary adenomas with different sizes and different Knosp classifications (P<0.01, P<0.01). GTR rate of huge adenomas was significantly lower than that of macroadenoma and adenomas (P<0.05). GTR rate of Knosp 4 grade adenoma was significantly lower than that of Knosp 0-3 level (P<0.05). No significant difference in GTR among all types of functional pituitary adenomas and hormone levels after surgery was observed (P>0.05). In addition, no significant difference (P>0.05) in complications among different sizes, Knosp grade and type of pituitary adenomas was observed.GTR of Knosp 4 adenoma in later period of the learning curve was significantly higher than that in early period (P<0.05). Meanwhile the operative time was significantly lower than early period (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Endoscopic transsphenoidal pituitary adenoma resection has the advantages of wider surgical field, higher GTR rate, less trauma, fewer complications and better life quality of patients.Through standardized learning, the GTR rate of the invasive pituitary adenomas can be improved.

Objective: To study and the value of morning plasma adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and urinary free cortisol (24 h UFC) within 3 days after operation in patients with Cushing's disease in predicting the long-term outcome. Methods: The clinical data of 140 patients with Cushing's disease who were treated in Department of Neurosurgery of PUMCH from 2012 to 2014 were analyzed retrospectively.The univariate analysis, multivariate Logistic analysis, ROC curve analysis and other statistical methods were used to study the predicting value of morning plasma ACTH and 24 h UFC in 3 days post operation. Results: Univariate analysis showed that in the two groups of the early remission and no remission, there was significant statistical difference between the preoperative ACTH, preoperative 24 h UFC, postoperative ACTH and postoperative 24 h UFC (P<0.05, <0.01, <0.01). Logistic analysis showed that ACTH and 24 h UFC after operation of two groups had significant difference (P<0.01, <0.05). ROC curve analysis showed that postoperative cutoff values of ACTH and 24 h UFC were 4.11 pmol/L (18.7 pg/ml) and 281.42 nmol (102 µg)/24 h. ROC analysis was performed to evaluate the predicting performance of postoperative ACTH, resulting in an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.917 (95%CI: 0.858-0.957, P<0.01). In comparison, 24 h UFC had an AUC of 0.814 (95%CI: 0.739-0.875, P<0.01). The predicting value of ACTH is significantly better than that of 24 h UFC (P=0.005). Conclusion: Early morning 24 h UFC and ACTH within 3 days after operation both showed considerable accuracy in predicting the long-term outcome of Cushing's disease, and the significance of ACTH was even greater than that of 24 h UFC.

OBJECTIVE: To predict the therapeutic effect of Cushing's disease after transsphenoidal surgery by using morning serum cortisol level. METHODS: The clinical data of 275 cases that had transsphenoidal surgery in Peking Union Medical College Hospital from 2010 to 2014 were analyzed retrospectively.Early morning serum cortisol level less than 140 nmol/L 3 days postoperation was usedto predict endocrinological remission. And long-term efficacy was evaluated by follow-up. RESULTS: Of the 275 patients, there were 49 males and 226 females; average age was 36.5 years old.Remission wasconfirmed in 201 cases, the remission rate was 73.1%, and 8 cases recurrent duringfollow-up.There were 17 macroadenomas, theremission rate was 47.1%; 258 microadenomas and MRI negative adenomas, the remission rate was 74.8%.And 43 recurrent cases had reoperations; the remission rate was 46.5%. CONCLUSION: Early morningserum cortisol 3 days post operation can evaluate the effectof transsphenoidal surgery, but even if the level of cortisol is less than 140 nmol/L, there is still tumor recurrence.Patients should be follow-up for a lifetime.

Objective: To analyze family-based haplotype frequencies of HLA-A, -B, -C, -DRB1 and -DQB1 genes and their clinical significance. Methods: The data of HLA genotyping in 3568 families undergoing related haploidentical transplantation between 2012 and 2017 at the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University were retrospectively evaluated. The HLA genotyping was performed by PCR amplification with sequence-based typing (PCR-SBT) and sequence-specific oligonucleotide probe (PCR-SSOP) methods. The family genetic analysis and haplotype frequencies were also investigated. Results: All the families were divided into 3 groups, including group1 of 1 422 entire families; group2 of 1 310 patients and either of their parents or one of their children; group3 of 836 patients and their HLA≥5/10 matched sibling donors. In the haplotypes with frequencies greater than 0.1% in group1+ group2, the frequency of A*11â¶01-B*40â¶01-C*03â¶04-DRB1*11â¶01-DQB1*03â¶01, A*02â¶07-B*51â¶01-C*14â¶02-DRB1*09:01-DQB1*03â¶03 were significantly different between group1 and group2 (P=0.029, 0.033) . The frequency of A*11â¶01-B*46â¶01-C*01â¶02â¶01G-DRB1*09â¶01-DQB1*03â¶03 was significantly different between group1 and group3 (P=0.035) . The frequency of A*02â¶01-B*40â¶01-C*07â¶02-DRB1*09â¶01-DQB1*03â¶03 was significantly different between group1 and group2 (P=0.034) , or group1 and group3 (P=0.034) . The frequency of A*24â¶02-B*13â¶01-C*03â¶04-DRB1*12â¶02-DQB1*03:01 was significantly different between group2 and group3 (P=0.046) . Conclusion: In this study, we summarize the prevalence of haplotype frequencies in terms of HLA-A, -B, -C, -DRB1 and-DQB1. Based on the database of family haplotype analysis, patients and donor candidates are sorted with matched HLA genotype while unmatched HLA haplotype. Even in patients without entire family information, HLA haplotype analysis assists in choosing the optimal related or unrelated donors.

Objective: To analyze the distribution and proportion of donor-specific activated killer cell immunoglobulin like receptor (aKIR) genes and their clinical application values in unrelated allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) . Methods: Retrospective analyses of KIR genotyping using polymerase chain reaction with sequence specific primers (PCR-SSP) were performed in 216 pairs of donors and recipients. Results: The frequency of donor-specific KIR genes was 53.7% (116/216) in 216 patients receiving unrelated allo-HSCT, with the frequency of 78.3% (112/143) in the KIR genes mismatched group and 5.5% (4/73) in matched group. Of the 116 patients with detectable donor-specific KIR genes, 99.1% (115/116) patients had various donor-specific aKIR genes. Among 55 pairs of donors' KIR-Bx genotype and patients' KIR-AA genotype group, the most commonly observed genotypes were Bx1, Bx2, Bx3, Bx4, in which the donor-specific KIR genes were respectively KIR 3DS1, 2DL5A, 2DS5, 2DS1; KIR 3DS1, 2DL5A, 2DS3, 2DS1; KIR 2DS2, 2DL2; KIR 2DS2, 2DL2, 3DS1, 2DL5A, 2DS5, 2DS1. Of 44 pairs of donors' KIR-AA genotype and patients' KIR-Bx (AB) genotype group, 36.4% (16/44) recipients had donor-specific KIR2DS4 (FUL) gene. In 143 pairs of KIR mismatched group, the frequencies of donor-specific KIR genes were KIR2DS1 (35.7%) , KIR3DS1 (32.9%) , KIR2DS5 (29.4%) , KIR2DS4 (FUL) (25.9%) , KIR2DL2 (25.2%) , KIR2DS2 (24.5%) , KIR2DS3 (21.7%) and KIR3DL1 (8.4%) , respectively. Conclusion: The donor-specific aKIR genes mainly existed in KIR mismatched group after unrelated allo-HSCT, and the different pairs of donors' and patients' KIR genotypes led to the diverse donor-specific aKIR. But there were higher specific aKIR genes in higher frequency of KIR AA, Bx1, Bx2, Bx3, Bx4 genotypes. All these can provide the experimental basis for studying the role of the donor-specific aKIR genes on the prognosis of HSCT.

Objective: To investigate the immune reconstruct regularity profile of KIR2DL1 and KIR3DL1 in unrelated-donor allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) with KIR-AA genotype. Method: 75 donor-recipient pairs were performed by KIR genotying using PCR-SSP, and all donors were identified with KIR-AA genotype. Dynamic detections (including unrelated-donor on the day of transplantation and the recipient each month post allo-HSCT) of the expression of KIR2DL1/3DL1 on NK cell and mRNA level were performed in 291 cases using flow cytometry (FCM) and real-time fluorescent quantitation PCR (RT-qPCR) . Result: â The median expression of KIR2DL1 in unrelated-donor on transplant's day was 21.60%, the median expression of KIR2DL1 in recipient 1M, 2M, 3M and 3-6M after transplantation were 7.40%, 12.00%, 16.92%, 17.64% respectively. The median expression of KIR2DL1 in unrelated-donor on transplant's day was 265.14 copies/10 000abl copies, the median expression of KIR2DL1 in recipient 1M, 2M, 3M, 3-6M, 6-9M, 9-12M after transplantation were 332.17, 438.31, 723.25, 414.17, 180.76 and 234.67 copies/10 000abl copies respectively. The median expression of KIR2DL1 on NK cells and mRNA level gradually increased at all time points after transplantation, and reached the highest expression at 3 months after transplantation. But mRNA expression levels increased earlier than NK cell membrane proteins. â¡The median expression of KIR3DL1 in unrelated-donors on transplant's day was 18.56%, the median expression of KIR3DL1 in recipient 1M, 2M, 3M, 3-6M after transplantation were 23.83%, 22.57%, 23.02%, 21.60% respectively. The median expression of KIR3DL1 in unrelated-donor on transplant's day was 572.29 copies/10 000abl copies, the median expression of KIR3DL1 in recipient 1M, 2M, 3M, 3-6M, 6-9M, 9-12M after transplantation were 1 233.74, 1 140.42, 876.73, 1 057.07, 739.02 and 514.43 copies/10 000abl copies respectively. The median expression of KIR3DL1 on NK cells and mRNA level were higher than donors at 1 month after transplantation, and stable expression at all time points after transplantation, so mRNA and NK cell membrane proteins expression increased at the same time. Conclusion: The immune reconstruct regularity of KIR2DL1 and KIR3DL1 gene were different, which provided an experimental basis for selecting the best time to detect the expressions of KIR2DL1 and 3DL1 after transplantation.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze allele mismatches of HLA- A, - B, - C, - DRB1, - DQB1 and haplotype mismatch of donor- recipient pairs on the outcome of haploidentical transplantation combined with a third part cord blood unit. METHODS: 230 pairs of donor-recipient were performed HLA-A, B, C, DRB1, DQB1 typing using SBT and SSOP methods from January 2012 to December 2014. RESULTS: Pairs were divided into HLA- 5/10ã6/10ã7/10 and ≥8/10 groups according to HLA- A, B, C and DRB1 highresolution typing and matched degrees, the 3-year probability of overall survival (OS) for each group were 48.7%, 59.3%, 71.1%, 38.3% (P=0.068) respectively. HLA-6/10 matched group associated with significant favorable effect on OS compared with HLA- 5/10 matched one (P=0.041).When the HLA class I antigen matched on the recipient and donor, improved OS and event free survival (EFS) in HLA- 6/10 matched group than in HLA-5/10 matched one (P=0.017,P=0.088), especially in single HLA-A loci allele matched one (P=0.013,P=0.013), were observed. As to the third part cord blood unit, sharing the same haplotype with the recipient-donor pairs produced better platelet recovery than the misfit one (95.3%vs 86.2%,P= 0.007), similar result was found in terms of neutrophil recovery (98.8%vs 96.1% ,P=0.022). CONCLUSIONS: HLA locus mismatch and haplotype mismatch of the donor and recipient should be useful for selection of the most optimum donor. Co- infused of an unrelated cord blood unit sharing the same haplotype with the recipient-donor pairs could improve hematopoietic recovery.

In the 18-year period from 1973 to 1991, 502 cases with gastric cancer were treated surgically at the Peking Union Medical College Hospital. A unified international classification for staging of gastric cancer had been applied to these patients in this study. The pathologic staging classification is based on the extent of the disease at the time of surgical exploration of the abdomen and/or histopathologic study of the excised surgical specimens. According to the new TNM staging classification, the 5-year cumulative survival rates of all surgically treated patients Ia, Ib, II, IIIa, IIIb and IV were 96.25%, 87.34%, 66.11%, 43.70%, 30.33% and 9.36% respectively. It was showed that there is a decreasing tendency in the 5-year survival rates for the depth of invasion of the gastric cancer. The histological types of the gastric cancer had the same prognostic significance as depth of invasion. The 5-year cumulative survival rate of patients with curative surgery was better in the group with chemotherapy (55.6%) than in that without chemotherapy (43%).

To investigate the common causes and differential diagnosis of malignant jaundice, we reviewed 903 cases with obstructive jaundice in PUMC hospital in recent 16 years. 383 of them were malignant jaundice (42.4%). The most common origin of malignant jaundice was carcinoma of the pancreatic head with 198 patients (51.7%), and carcinoma of the ampulla Vater with 94 cases (24.5%) and carcinoma of the extrahepatic bile duct with 71 cases (5.2%). The clinical symptoms and signs were not much helpful to the differentiation of malignant jaundice. No specific early signs were found to the malignant jaundice, but most of the patients felt epigastric distension and distress, anorexia, loss of body weight and fatigue before jaundice appeared. More than one third patients had discontinuous fever. The imaging investigation had decisive roles in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of the malignant jaundice. The positive rate of diagnosis in sonography was 95.5%, but the correct rate only 85.0% (P < 0.05). We regard that sonography might be the first imaging examination for the malignant jaundice and clue for further investigation. ERCP can clearly reveal the papilla, biliary and pancreatic ducts with high positive rate (97.7%) and correct rate (95.1%). PTC was only used in those patients who had the contraindications to ERCP or the cannulation of ERCP was not successful. The positive rate of PTC was 95.8% in the cases with extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. The combination of ERCP and PTC could determine the position and extent of extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of ceftriaxone for treatment of uncomplicated gonorrhoea compared with four other antibiotics. Thirteen randomized controlled trials (RCTs) totalling treatment of 2557 patients with uncomplicated gonorrhoea were included. Statistically significant differences were observed in side-effects, which were increased after ceftriaxone 250 mg versus cefotaxime 500 mg (odds ratio [OR] 1.87; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.14-3.08). Cure rates of ceftriaxone 250 mg were significantly better than cefixime 400 mg (OR 1.77; 95% CI 1.11-2.80) as was ceftriaxone 125 mg versus spectinomycin 2 g (OR 3.44; 95% CI 1.08-10.90). There was no statistically significant difference between ceftriaxone 250 mg and cefixime 800 mg in cure rates (OR 1.39; 95% CI 0.92-2.10) or adverse effects (OR 1.29, 95% CI 0.58-2.84) for treating uncomplicated gonorrhoea. The cure rate after ceftriaxone 250 mg was not significantly different from that after spectinomycin 2 g (OR 1.96; 95% CI 1.00-3.87). In conclusion, this meta-analysis revealed that 250 mg ceftriaxone had a higher efficacy than 400 mg cefixime for uncomplicated gonorrhoea. Also, ceftriaxone 125 mg is a better choice than spectinomycin 2 g for patients with uncomplicated gonorrhoea, but ceftriaxone had higher side-effect rates than cefotaxime. In the current era further randomized controlled clinical trials of ceftriaxone for uncomplicated gonorrhoea are warranted.

The role of killer Ig-like receptors (KIR) in SCT was analyzed. A total of 75 Chinese patients were transplanted with T-depleted hematopoietic stem cells from unrelated donors. Among the 75 donor-recipient pairs, 60 were HLA 10/10 matched and 15 had some mismatches at HLA-C. Transplants from KIR haplotype B/x group donors showed significantly higher overall survival rates compared with those from KIR haplotype A/A donors (relative risk (RR) 3.1 (95% confidence interval (CI) 1.1-8.6), P=0.007). In the haplotype A/A group, a higher risk of acute GVHD (aGVHD) (RR 9.0 (95% CI 1.2-66.9), P=0.01), especially grade III-IV aGVHD (P=0.006), was observed when the donor was homozygous for the full-length expressed KIR2DS4*00101 allele. Real-time PCR showed that a high expression of inhibitory KIR (2DL1 and 3DL1) in the early stages (<90 days) after transplantation correlated with the development of aGVHD (z=2.558, P=0.011). Our findings indicated a significant association of full-length KIR2DS4 or KIR2DL1/3DL1 expression with the occurrence of aGVHD. In aggregate these results suggested that combining KIR and HLA genotyping could help in the selection of transplant donors and improve the outcome of transplantation. Dynamic detection of KIR2DL1/3DL1 expression would be beneficial for prediction of aGVHD after transplantation.
