OBJECTIVETo investigate the blood test patterns for blood donors after nucleic acid detection in blood center.
METHODSThe collected blood samples after voluntary blood donors first were detected by conventional ELISA, then 31981 negative samples were detected via HBV/HCV/HIV combined nucleic acid test of 6 mixed samples(22716 cases) or single samples(9265 cases) by means of Roche cobas s201 instrument. The combined detection method as follows: the blood samples were assayed by conventional nucleic acid test of 6 mixed samples, at same time, 6 mixed samples were treated with polyethylene glycol precipitation method to concentrate the virus, then the nucleic acid test of blood samples was performed; the single detection method as follows: firstly the conventional nucleic acid test of single sample was performed, then the positive reactive samples after re-examination were 6-fold diluted to simulate the nucleic acid test of 6-mixed samples. The positive rate of positive samples detected by combined nucleic acid test, positive samples detected by nucleic acid test of mixed virus concentration and positive samples detected by single nucleic acid test was statistically analyzed. In addition, for HBVpersons the serological test yet should be performed.
RESULTSIn 22 716 samples detected by nucleic acid test of 6 mixed samples (MP-6-NAT) , 9 cases were HBV(0.40‰, 9/22716); at same time, the detection of same samples by nucleic acid test of mixed sample virus concentration showed 29 cases of HBV(1.28‰, 29/22716). In 9265 samples detected by single nucleic acid test(ID-NAT) 12 cases showed HBV(1.30‰, 12/9265), meanwhile the detection of these 12 samples with HBVby 6-fold dilution for virus concentration found only 4 samples with HBV. In serological qualified samples, ID-NAT unqualified rate was 1.28‰, which was higher than that of MP-6-NAT(0.4‰) (χ=8.11, P<0.05); but there was no statistical difference between unqualified rate of ID-NAT and MP-6-NAT(1.3‰ vs 1.28‰)(χ=0.00, P>0.05). In 41 samples with HBsAgHBV DNAdetected by ELISA, 36 samples were confirmed to be occult HBV infective(OBI) by HBsAb, HBcAb test of ELISA; out of these 41 samples, 33 samples showed HBcAb(91.66% of OBI), 5 might be HBV "window period" infective, moreover the HCV RNA and HIV RNA positive samples were not found.
CONCLUSIONTo avoid the missdiagnosis of donors with low level of virus, the nucleic acid test must be carried out after virus concentration of mixed samples when the blood test pattern of donors is nucleic acid test of mixed samples, otherwise the single nucleic acid test must be performed to obtain more high detected rate of virus nucleic acid. The HBcAb serologic test and physical examination of donors before blood donation must be enhanced on basis of serological test of HBsAg; for high risk people, the persuading no blood donation is simplest pattern.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the surgical treatment of mid-distal humeral shaft fractures associated with radial nerve palsysis with minimal invasive screwed nails osteosynthesis technique.
METHODSThirty-six patients treated mid-distal humeral shaft fractures associated with radial nerve palsysis from January 2004 to January 2008. There were 28 males and 8 females whose age ranged from 20- to 58-years-old with an average of 36.5-years-old. Injury reasons: mechanical injury 18 cases, traffic injury 8 cases, accidents injury 10 cases, all cases were closed fracture. According to AO/ASIF classification, type A1 5 cases, type A2 7 cases, type B1 8 cases, type B2 7 cases, type B3 5 cases, type C3 4 cases. The small lateral incision was performed located to the fracture. After exploration of the radial nerve, the fractures were reduced. By acromion small lateral incision, the deltoid was separated. In the posterior macronodular slotted antegrade reamed bored with medullary cavity drill and selected a suitable screwed nail screwed into the medullary cavity distal. Along the slot, the locking pieces were inserted to complete the fixation. The postoperative complication, fracture healing time, radial nerve function recovery time, the motion of shoulder and elbow were recorded.
RESULTSThe incision of all cases healed with stage I . The patients were followed up for 9-36 weeks with an average of 18.5 weeks. The X-ray examination showed fractures healing in 12-16 weeks (average of 15.6 weeks). Radial nerve function recovered fully at 12-36 weeks after operation (average of 17.8 weeks). Shoulder abduction is 150 degrees-170 degrees with an average of 160 degrees; elbow motion of activities was 130 degrees-140 degrees with an average of 135 degrees. The ASES method was used to assess the shoulder joint function, 20 cases gained the excellent result, 12 good and 4 poor. And according to HSS method, 36 cases of elbow joint function gained the excellent result.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with 3D printing guild plate by comparing with conventional TKA. Methods From May 2014 to September 2014, 40 patients suffered primary unilateral TKA were received, in which there were 11 males and 29 females, aged from 57 to 82 years with an average age of 68.5±6.3 years. The subjects were divided into two groups randomly. One group was treated with TKA with 3D printing guild plate while the other group was treated with the conventional TKA. The blood loss, operation time, post?operative Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) score, range of motion (ROM), lower limb mechanical alignment and incidence of complication were compared with insignificant differences. Results The operation time in the 3D printing TKA group (103.4±11.7 min) was lower than that in the conventional TKA group (124.5±21.6 min), which was statistically significant (t=3.838, P=0.000). The blood loss in the 3D printing TKA group (370.2±96.0 ml) was lower than that in the conventional TKA group (510.0±235.9 ml), which was statistically significant (t=2.454, P=0.019). The post?operative ROM of knee in the 3D printing TKA group was 104.3° ± 15.5° and that in the conventional TKA group was 103.5° ± 12.5° (t=0.169, P=0.867). HSS scores in the 3D printing TKA group and in the conventional TKA group were 88.5±5.7 and 89.4±4.8, which was statistically insignificant (t=-0.633,P=0.530). Mechanical alignment in the 3D printing TKA group was 2.9°±1.1° and that in the conventional TKA group was 3.0°±0.9°, which was not statistically significant (t=-0.317, P=0.753). No obvious complication occurred in two groups. Conclusion TKA with 3D printing guild plate has similar results to conventional TKA in HSS score, mechanical alignment and ROM of knee, but it shortens operation time and decreases the blood loss.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the changes of thrombospondin 1(TSP1) level and von Willebrand factor cleaving protease(ADAMTS13) activity in the patients with hematologic malignancies before and after treatment and to evaluate their clinical significance.
METHODSEighty-two patients with hematologic malignancies were enrolled in this study, among them 20 patients were with acute leukemia, 48 patients were with lymphoma and 14 patients were with multiple myeloma. The plasma samples of 82 patients with hematologic malignancies and 45 healthy controls were collected. The activities of ADAMTS13 were evaluated by residue collagen binding assay(R-CBA), the levels of TSP1 and vWF antigen were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).
RESULTSThe activity of plasma ADAMTS13 in patients with hematologic malignancies was lower than that of normal controls(P<0.05). The levels of vWF antigen and TSP1 in the patients with hematologic malignancies were higher than those in normal controls(P<0.05). After standard induction chemotherapy, the ADAMTS13 activity of the patients with hematologic malignancies at the complete remission was higher than that before therapy(P<0.05); the vWF antigen level was significantly lower than that in the patients with hematologic malignancies before therapy(P<0.05), but still higher than that in controls(P<0.05). There were 25 infection patients in 82 cases of hematologic malignancies, and the ADAMTS13 activity in the patients with newly diagnosed hematologic malignancies complicated with infection before therapy was obviously lower than that in the patients with hematologic malignancies without infection(P<0.05), the levels of vWF antigen and TSP1 were significantly lower than that in patients without infection (P<0.05). In the process of treatment, 8 patients have been speculated to suffer from thrombus, and the ADAMTS13 activity in the patients with thrombus was obviously lower than that in the patients without thrombus(P<0.05).
CONCLUSIONLow ADAMTS13 activity and high TSP1 level may participate in the progress of hematologic malignancies, the infection and thrombotic events may lead to further reduction of the ADAMTS13 activity. Assaying the level of ADAMTS13 activity in the patients with malignant tumor may be helpful to prevent the infection and thrombosis in the patients with hematologic malignancies.

OBJECTIVETo detect the plasma activity of von Willebrand factor-cleaving protease (ADAMTS13) in the patients with prothrombotic status, and explore the effect and significance of ADAMTS13 in the prothrombotic status. The correlation of ADAMTS13 with von Willebrand factor (vWF), thrombospondin 1 (TSP1), C-reactive protein etc, and blood pressure was simultaneously analyzed.
METHODSThe activity of ADAMTS13 in patient groups (atherosclerosis, diabetes, acute promyelocytic leukemia, cancer and sepsis, a total of 260 cases) and in control group 50 cases were evaluated by residue collagen binding assay(R-CBA), the protein levels of TSP1 and vWF were measured by ELISA kits; the correlation of ADAMTS13 activity with CRP, creatinine, and blood pressure was analyzed with statistical soft ware.
RESULTSThe activity of plasma ADAMTS13 in patient group was significantly lower than that in normal control group(P<0.05). And the protein levels of TSP1 and vWF in the patients with prothrombotic status were higher than those in the normal controls(P<0.05). Analysis of the correlation showed that the ADAMTS13 activity correlated negatively with the levels of TSP1 protein, blood sugar, blood pressure, D-dimer, creatinine,and CRP levels (P<0.05), however, the ADAMTS13 activity did not significantly correlate with the levels of serum lipids, blood type, platelet number and hemoglobin level(P>0.05).
CONCLUSIONThe plasma ADAMTS13 activity is decreased in the patients with prothrombotic status, suggesting that the decreased ADAMTS13 activity may participate in the occurrence of prothrombotic status, and the dectection of plasma ADAMTS13 activity may help the diagnosis of pro-thrombotic disease.

OBJECTIVETo analyze a girl with moderate mental retardation and speech and language disorders with cytogenetics technique and next-generation sequencing (NGS).
METHODSG-banding chromosome analysis was used to ascertain the karyotype of the child and her parents, and NGS was used for determining the size and origin of the abnormal chromosome fragment. Mate-pair and PCR were used to determine its parental origin.
RESULTSThe karyotype of the child was determined to be 46,XX,add(1)(q44)dn, while her parents were both normal. NGS revealed that the child has harbored a partial trisomy of 6q24.3-q27, and the breakpoint was mapped to at 6q24.3q27. In addition, a 2.5 Mb microdeletion at 1q44 was found in the patient.
CONCLUSIONNo recognizable phenotype was associated with 1q44 deletion. The abnormal phenotypes presented by the child may be attributed to the 6q24.3-q27 triplication. Compared with conventional cytogenetic analysis, NGS has a much higher resolution and great accuracy.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effects of obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) and age on sleep architecture and the therapeutic effects of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP).
METHODSWe retrospectively analyzed 222 subjects undergoing polysomnography (PSG) for snoring, who received CPAP under PSG on the next day following the initial PSG. The sleep architecture of the subjects in different age groups and in groups with different severities of OSAHS was analyzed before and after adjustment for apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) or age. The sleep architecture and ventilation function of the patients with OSAHS were also analyzed after CPAP.
RESULTSN3 sleep showed the strongest correlation with AHI (r=-0.361), and REM sleep and wake after sleep onset (WASO) were the most strongly correlated with age (r=-0.211 and 0.216, respectively). The 4 age groups showed significant differences in sleep efficiency (P<0.001), N1 (P=0.015), N2 (P=0.013) and REM (P=0.030) sleeps, and WASO (P=0.001) but not in AHI (P=0.185). REM sleep decreased and WASO increased with an increasing age. The sleep efficiency and architecture were still significant different after adjustment for AHI. In 4 groups with different severity of OSAHS, N1, N2 and N3 sleeps were significant different after adjustment for age (P=0.011, 0.017, 0.001). In patients with moderate or severe OSAHS, N3 sleep increased with the increase of AHI. After CPAP for OSAHS, N1 and N2 sleeps significantly decreased, and N3 and REM sleeps increased (P<0.001).
CONCLUSIONBetween OSAHS and age, REM sleep and WTSO are more importantly affected by age, while OSAHS more strongly affects N3 sleep. CPAP can improve the sleep quality of patients with OSAHS.
