Objective To investigate the distribution of weak D and Del phenotype in unrelated blood donors with negative Rh (D). Methods Four hundred and nineRhD (-) unrelated donors were screened by the saline agglutination method. Type weak D was detected by the indirect antiglobulin test, and type Del was detected by absorb radiation method. Results In 409 RhD (-) samples, 27 cases (6.61%) of type weak D were checked out, and 61 cases (14.91%) were type Del and 321 cases (78.48%) were corroborate for RhD (-), In the confirmed RhD (-) blood donors, phenotype ccee was most (49.14%), followed by Ccee (23.47%), People with phenotype ccEe accounted for 4.16%in type weak D, followed by Ccee (1.71%). Ccee accounted for 10.02%in type Del, and Ccee accounted for 1.71%. Conclusion RhD (-) donors screened by regular testing should adopt a more sensitive test for verifing type weak D or Del. In order to ensure the security of blood transfusion, people with type weak D and Del should be regarded as RhD positive blood donors, and the RhD negative people deemed to be recipients.

Objective To investigate the role of NFIC on the stimulation effects of cAMP-induced differentiation of stem cells from the apical papilla ( SCAPs) in vitro. Methods SCAPs isolated from dental papilla of human imma-ture third molars were cultured by enzyme digestion. SCAPs were transfected with lentivirus that overexpressed NF-IC gene ( ov-NFIC) or an empty vector ( LV-empty) and co-treatment with Forskolin. Mineralized nodule formation of each group was measured by alizarin red staining. Quantitative real-time reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction was performed to test the expressions of RUNX2,ALP,OCN mRNA. Results Forskolin increased the ex-pression of Runx2, ALP, OCN mRNA as well as matrix mineralization in SCAPs, and the stimulation effects of For-skolin were enhanced by overexpressing NFIC gene. Conclusion The results indicate that NFIC can promote cAMP-induced differentiation of SCAPs.

Objective To study perioperative managements and clinical outcome of liver transplantation for hepatocellular carcinoma with thrombosis and cancer emboli in portal vein.Methods From July 2000 to December 2002, 10 cases of hepatocellular carcinoma having thrombosis or cancer emboli in portal vein before operation were subjected to orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) in our hospital. Nine patients underwent anastomosis of low portal vein by end-to-end method after cleaning the thrombosis and emboli, and one underwent cavoportal hemitransposition.Results Nine of the 10 patients recovered without recurrence of portal thrombosis. One died of portal thrombosis recurrence on the 8th postoperative day and one died of infection on the 60th postoperative day. During the follow-up period of 3 to 31 months, hepatocellular cancer recurred in 7, 12, 13 and 25 months after operations in 4 patients. The remaining 4 patients survived without tumor recurrence.Conclusion Portal thrombosis and cancer emboli are not the absolute contraindications in liver transplantation. Appropriate managements can get satisfactory results.
