International Journal of Laboratory Medicine 2016;37(8):1079-1080
Objective To investigate the significance of plasma B‐type Natriuretic Peptide(BNP) and D‐dimer test in thrombo‐lytic therapy for patients with acute myocardial infraction(AMI) .Methods Determinated the plasma levels of D‐dimer and BNP in patients diagnosed with AMI in the hospital by using full automatic immune fluorescence analyzer on admission (before treatment) , the 7th ,14the and 21th day during treatment ,respectively .Patients were divided into large ,middle and small infarction group ac‐cording to the infarct size determined by color Doppler .The correlation between BNP ,D‐dimer and infarct size were analysed .Re‐sults BNP levels in small ,medium and large infarction group were (165 .0 ± 26 .3) ,(237 .0 ± 39 .4) ,(413 .0 ± 61 .2)pg/mL ,respec‐tively ,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0 .05) .The D‐dimer plasma concentrations in the three groups were all higher than the normal reference level(P<0 .05) .In the course of thrombolytic therapy displayed a dynamic change process ,the level of D‐dimer increased first ,then maintained at a relatively high level ,and finally decreased and returned to the normal level . Conclusion The area of myocardial infarction has a certain correlation with the level of BNP ,and the dynamic monitoring of D‐di‐mer can be used to evaluate the effect of thrombolytic therapy .

Objective To reduce the risk of blood transfusion ,and discuss the serological characteristic and cross‐match test of those patients who got positive both in autoantibody test and direct coombs test .Methods With absorption‐elution testing ,antibody screening cells and panel cells belong to different manufactures and batch numbers were applied to distinguish autoantibody from al‐loantibody within serum and reagent red cells for absorption test .Appropriate donors were selected to do cross matching test ;the specificity of autoantibody and alloantibody and the relationship between ABO blood type ,diseases ,anemic and the efficacy of blood transfusion were analysed .Results Among the 139 study subjects ,all of them were identified positive both in autoantibody and di‐rect antibody test ,including 20 cases just have autoantibody ,59 cases accompanied with Rh system or MNs system or Kidd system antibody ,47 with autoantibody except for alloantibody ,13 with drug resistant or other system antibody .Within the 221 cases of blood transfusion ,none of them has hemolytic transfusion reaction .We found a positive correlation(P<0 .05)between the intensity of agglutination of autoantibody and direct antibody and anima ,while a negative correlation(P<0 .05)with the efficacy of transfu‐sion .Similarly ,there is a positive correlation(P<0 .05)between the intensity of autoantibody and the sensitization of autologous e‐rythrocyte ,most of which are immunologic diseases ,while has no correlation with ABO blood type(P>0 .05) .Conclusion To those cases which were identified positive both in autoantibody and direct antibody test ,the degree of anaemia ,the numbers of transfusion and the efficacy of transfusion were associated with the intensity of agglutination of autoantibody and direct antibody .In order to de‐crease the risk of blood transfusion and make it highly efficient ,we should affirmed it if there is any autoantibody .In this process , an appropriate procedure and assay must be adopted .Besides ,relative antigen‐negative donors or high frequency local autoantibody need to be matched with corresponding the donors who have the same type of antigen .
