Journal of Preventive Medicine 2023;35(9):786-789
Objective:
To explore the relationship between voluntary blood donation and autonomous motivation based on self-determination theory, so as to provide insights into optimizing voluntary blood donation recruitment.
Methods:
Participants meeting the blood donation criteria were selected from blood stations and medical institutions in Hangzhou City, Jiaxing City and Quzhou City, Zhejiang Province. A self-designed questionnaire based on self-determination theory was used to collect basic information, awareness and source of blood donation knowledge, autonomous motivation and controlled motivation. The correction between autonomous motivation and voluntary blood donation was analyzed using a multivariable logistic regression model.
Results:
A total of 986 participants at ages of 18-55 years were surveyed, including 730 females (74.04%) and 256 males (25.96%). Among them, 705 participants (71.50%) had experience of voluntary blood donation. The mean score for blood donation knowledge was (5.76±1.17) points, and the total motivation score for blood donation was (58.21±8.17) points, with autonomous motivation scoring (40.86±5.46) points and controlled motivation scoring (17.35±3.26) points. Multivariable logistic regression analysis identified gender (female, OR=0.419, 95%CI: 0.273-0.644), occupation (medical profession, OR=4.027, 95%CI: 2.440-6.646), blood donation knowledge (OR=1.307, 95%CI: 1.159-1.475) and autonomous motivation (OR=1.074, 95%CI: 1.033-1.116) as factors affecting voluntary blood donation.
Conclusions
Autonomous motivation may promote voluntary blood donation. In blood donation recruitment efforts, it is vital to enhance autonomous motivation and make appropriate use of controlled motivation.

Objective To determine the effects of different excipients ( amino acids, carbohydrates and nonionic surfactants) on thermal stability of the IgG1 monoclonal antibody, and to examine the interactions between the excipients and the protein.Methods Differential scanning calorimetry ( DSC) was used to study thermal stability of the protein in different solutions and got information on the solubility of the unfolded forms of the protein.Isothermal titration calorimetry ( ITC) was used to examine the binding interactions between the excipients and the protein.ResuIts Negatively charged amino acids could significantly reduce the denaturation temperature (Tm) of IgG1( Tm >9 ℃), and other excipients didn’t have a major effect ( Tm <1℃).Excipients shared different impacts on thermal stability of the IgG1 monoclonal antibody under different pH, and negatively charged amino acids result in a much lower Tm at pH 5 than at pH 7.The ITC binding isotherms of different excipients (including polysorbate 20 and 80) and IgG1 were almost straight lines, while there was strong binding interaction between polysorbate 20 or 80 and Human Serum Albumin (HSA).ConcIusion The results suggest that there is no binding interaction between these studied excipients and the IgG1 monoclonal antibody; instead electrostatic interactions seem to play a leading role between the excipients and the IgG1 monoclonal antibody.

Objective To analyze gene mutations of a Niemann-Pick disease type C (NPC) proband,and carry out prenatal diagnosis for the family.Methods The coding regions of NPC1 gene in the proband (late-infantile form) and white blood cell (WBC) in peripheral blood of its parents were amplified by polymerase chain reaction and direct DNA sequencing in both directions was performed.The sequencing results were compared with human NPC1 gene sequence (NM_000271) in GenBank,and sequences of mutated exons were determined.Direct sequencing was used on 50 normal Chinese individuals' DNA samples (control) to exclude mutation's single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP).An inter-species alignment of homologous NPC1 proteins was performed using ClustalX 1.81 software.During the second pregnancy of the proband's mother,the amniotic fluid was obtained at 18 weeks of gestation and the amniocytes were cultured for gene mutation analysis.Neonate's DNA of WBC in peripheral blood was also extracted for NPC1 gene analysis.Results Mutation analysis of NPC1 gene revealed two novel heterozygous mutations (c.2284-2287 delCTCT and p.V959G) in the proband,which originated from her father and mother,respectively.These two mutations were absent in the control,suggesting that these mutations were not SNP.While comparing with the amino acid in NPC1 protein of human,mouse,rat,rabbit,cat and pig,it revealed that p.V959 belonged to a conservative amino acid region and the missense mutation of p.V959G may perturb the function of NPC protein.Neither mutation was found in DNA from amniotic fluid or from the cultivated amniocytes in the second pregnancy,suggesting a normal fetus.c.2284-2287 delCTCT and p.V959G mutation were not found in NPC1 gene analysis of WBC in peripheral blood of the neonate,which was consistent with the prenatal diagnosis.Conclusions PCR-direct sequencing could be used as genetic diagnosis for NPC proband and prenatal diagnosis for its family.The mutation p.V959G may be correlated to late infantile form of NPC.
