Objective To study the relationship of different ABO blood types with the risk of cardiovascular events and the severity of CHD.Methods A total of coronary arteriography-confirmed 3823 Chinese Han CHD patients were divided into O blood type group (n=1140) and non-O blood type group (n=2683).A total of 3654 patients who were followed up by telephone for a median period of 24.6 months were divided into cardiovascular events group (n=348) and cardiovascular events-free group (n =3306).The risk of cardiovascular events in CHD patients with different ABO blood types was assessed according to the Cox proportional hazards model.Results The incidence of left main branch lesion or 3-branch lesions was significantly higher in cardiovascular events group than in cardiovascular events-free group (15.2％ vs 8.1％,47.7％ vs 30.5％,P＜0.01).The Gensini score was significantly higher in non-O blood type group than in O blood type group (20 vs 18,P＜0.05).The incidence of cardiovascular events was higher in non-O blood type group than in O blood type group (10.3％ vs 7.8％,P=0.019).Cox proportional hazards model showed that non-O blood type was an risk factor for cardiovascular events (HR =1.318,95 ％CI:1.030-1.685).The risk of cardiovascular events was still higher in non-O blood type group than in O blood type group after adjustment for confounders (HR=1.291,95％CI:1.008-1.657,P=0.046).Conclusion Non-O blood type is closely related with cardiovascular events in Chinese Han CHD patients.

Objective To study the value of endothelin-1 (ET-1) in predicting the outcome of stable coronary artery disease (SCAD) patients.Methods A total of 3154 SCAD patients who were followed up for 24 months were divided into cardiocerebral vascular events group (n=189) and cardiocerebral vascular events-free group (n =2965).Their serum ET-1 level was measured by ELISA.The patients were further divided into ET-1 ＜0.3 pmol/L group (n=1588) and ET-1≥0.3 pmol/L group (n=1566).The value of ET-1 in predicting the end events was assessed by Cox regression analysis.The survival curve was plotted by Kaplan-Meier analysis.Results The serum ET-1 level was signify-cantly higher in cardiocerebral vascular events group than in cardiocerebral vascular events-free group (0.33 pmol/L vs 0.30 pmol/L,P=0.004).The incidence of clinical end events was significantly lower in ET-1 ≥0.3 pmol/L group than in ET-1 ＜0.3 pmol/L group (7.02％ vs 4.97％,P=0.015).Multivariable Cox regression analysis showed that ET-1 was a predictor of clinical end events (HR=1.656,95％CI:1.099-2.496,P=0.016).Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the events-free survival rate was lower in patients with a higher serum ET-1 level than in those with a lower serum ET-1 level (P=0.016).Conclusion ET-1 is an important risk factor for the outcome of SCAD patients.Further studies are needed to confirm its long-term value in predicting the outcome of SCAD patients.

【Objective】 To compare the current standards and explore the influencing factors for hemolysis rate of leukocyte-reduced red blood cells at the end of the preservation period, in order to formulate reasonable internal control indicators. 【Methods】 A retrospective analysis was performed on hemolysis rate of 427 samples of leukocyte-reduced red blood cells at the end of the preservation period in Nanning Blood Center from 2015 to 2022. Compared with the current standard for hemolysis rate at the end of the preservation period (GB 18469-2012 Quality Requirements for Whole Blood and Component Blood), the differences were analyzed, and the factors influncing the hemolysis rate were analyzed in terms of different blood donor groups. 【Results】 1) Among the 427 samples, the hemolysis rate of 418 (97.89%) did not exceed 0.4%, all lower than 0.8%; 2)the hemolysis rate of the male group was higher than that of the female group; 3) the hemolysis rate of the 18-29 years old group was lower than that of the 30-39 year old group and the 40-60 year old group, with statistically significant difference; 4) in terms of occupation, the hemolysis rate of students was the lowest, and the differences between groups were statistically significant; 5) no statistical significance was found in ethnicity and blood type. 【Conclusion】 Statistics indicated that gender, age, blood donation volume and occupation of blood donors were the influencing factors of hemolysis rate. The current standard is obviously higher in the qualified range of blood quality control in Nanning. It is advisable to formulate a reasonable quality control strategy with internal control index of hemolysis rate set <0.4%, which is conducive to making accurate evaluation of internal quality control and ensuring blood safety.
