Objective To study the relationship between the IgG antibody titer, the concentration of IgG subclasses in group O maternal sera and hemolytic disease of newborn. Methods By means of blood group serology assay, IgG antibody titers in 317 pregnant women who had incompatible blood group with their husbands was measured. The concentration of IgG subclasses were measured in HDN infants and their mothers, healthy pregnant women and healthy infants by ELISA. Results 1) Among 317 maternal sera, 153 cases (48.3%) were found to have IgG antibody titers higher than 1∶64, with anti-A and anti-B in 89 and 64 cases, respectively. Seventy-one (22.4%) newborns suffered from ABO-HDN, with 46 anti-A and 25 anti-B; 2) With increased numbers of pregnancy, the proportions women with greater than 1∶64 IgG antibody increased, and there was significant difference between those with one pregnancy and those with more than one pregnancies; 3) The levels of IgG antibody in HDN infants and their mothers were higher than those in control group, and IgG1 was the predominant subclass. Meanwhile, the proportion of IgG1 in infants was higher than in pregnant women. Conclusion To some couples of ABO incompatibility, IgG antibody titer and IgG subclasses should be tested in pregnant women. The incidence of HDN increases with increased antibody titers. The severity of HDN correlates positively with the concentration of IgG1 in maternal sera.

Objective:To perform harmonization based on the ComBat method for PET brain imaging scanned by different types of scanners from the same manufacturer and explored its effect on center effect.Methods:The three-dimensional (3D) Hoffman brain model was scanned by two different PET/CT instruments (Siemens Biograph64 TruePoint and Biograph128 mCT). Fourteen healthy subjects (8 males, 6 females, age: (57.7±9.5) years) underwent 18F-FDG PET/CT on Siemens Biograph64 TruePoint and 12 healthy subjects (9 males, 3 females, age: (55.8±10.5) years) underwent 18F-FDG PET/CT on Siemens Biograph128 mCT (all from Huashan Hospital, Fudan University; from November 2020 to March 2023). The whole brain was divided into 116 brain regions based on the anatomical automatic labeling (AAL) brain template. The ComBat method was applied to harmonized the PET data from brain model and healthy subjects. Mann-Whitney U test was performed on the radioactive counts and SUV ratios (SUVR) before and after homogenization acquired by both PET/CT instruments. Voxel-based statistical parametric mapping (SPM) independent-sample t test was also performed on data of healthy subjects. Results:In 3D Hoffman brain model, radioactivity counts (5 590.33(4 961.67, 6 102.95) vs 6 116.03(5 420.97, 6 660.66); z=-9.35, P<0.001) and SUVR (1.35(1.19, 1.47) vs 1.37(1.21, 1.49); z=-3.63, P<0.001) were significantly different between the two PET/CT scanners before harmonization and not after harmonization (radioactivity counts: 5 845.95(5 192.68, 6 378.63) vs 5 859.17(5 193.84, 6 380.52); SUVR: 1.35(1.20, 1.48) vs 1.36(1.20, 1.49); both z=-0.68, both P=0.498). In the healthy subjects, radioactive counts in 19 brain regions (12 422.78(11 181.60, 13 424.28)-18 166.40(15 882.80, 18 666.27); z values: from -3.24 to -2.06, all P<0.05) and SUVR in 40 brain regions (1.46(1.41, 1.52)-2.28(2.16, 2.36); z values: from -3.65 to -1.70, all P<0.05) were significantly different between the two scanners before harmonization, while after homogenization there were no statistical differences for all 116 brain regions (radioactivity counts: 9 243.55(8 502.38, 9 854.87)-20 419.60(19 931.51, 21 179.43); z values: from -0.72 to 0, all P>0.05; SUVR: 1.04(1.01, 1.09)-2.32(2.24, 2.40); z values: from -0.82 to 0, all P>0.05). SPM showed that significant differences of glucose metabolism in the cerebral cortex, basal ganglia, midbrain and cerebellum were found in healthy subjects between the two PET/CT scanners before homogenization, and brain regions with obvious differences reduced after homogenization. Conclusion:ComBat harmonization method is efficient at removing the center effect among different types of PET/CT scanners from the same manufacturer and may provide a simple and easy-to-implement homogenization for multicenter brain imaging studies.
