Objective To explore the distribution and types of platelet antibodies in children with positive platelet anti-body in initial screening.Methods Blood samples of 80 pediatric patients who applied for platelet transfusion in our hospi-tal from September 2021 to May 2022 and tested positive for platelet antibodies were identified using the PAKPLUS kit for antibody identification,and the distribution of HLA and HPA antibodies were analyzed.Results Among the 80 reactive samples in initial screening,9 were negative,71 were positive.Among the 71 positive cases,1 was HLA-Ⅰantibody positive(1.41%,1/71),21 were HPA antibody positive(29.58%,21/71),and 49 were both HLA-Ⅰantibody and HPA antibody positive(69.01%,49/71).Among the70 HPA positive cases,23.95%(17/71)had a single HPA antibody,with18.31%(13/71)of anti GP Ⅱb/Ⅲa,2.82%(2/71)of anti GP Ⅰa/Ⅱa,2.82%(2/71)of anti GP Ⅳ and 0%(0/71)of anti GP Ⅰb/Ⅸ,while74.65%(53/71)presented multiple HPA antibodies.No statistically significant difference was found in antibody distribution among age,gender,transfusion history and disease types.Conclusion HLA-Ⅰ antibody combined with HPA antibody are the main types of platelet antibodies among children with positive platelet antibodies.Anti-GPⅡb/Ⅲa accounted for the largest proportion of HPA antibodies.Antibody distribution is not releted to age,gender,history of blood transfusion and disease types.

Blood stasis is an important pathological factor throughout the whole course of radiation-induced pulmonary fibrosis, which could evolve from new into long stagnation, and the methods of dispelling stasis to promote regeneration should throughout the whole disease progress. It is believed that the basis of the radiation-induced pulmonary fibrosis is heat toxin dispersing qi and yin, and deficiency of healthy qi promoting blood stasis. The process of the disease showed latent fire burning pulmonary collaterals, and the binding of phlegm and stasis. The key factors of the disease were the damage of ying-wei (营卫) qi in channels and collaterals, as well as the blood stasis evolving into dried blood. It is suggested that during radiotherapy, we should pay more attention to relieve heat, moisten dryness, supplement qi and yin, nourish and harmonize blood, and remove blood stasis, so as to prevent disease before it arises. If there is radiation pneumonia, we could focus on dissolving phlegm, removing blood stasis, clearing latent fire, and unblocking the collaterals and veins, in order to "control the development of existing disease". If it develops into radiation-induced pulmonary fibrosis, we could relive the center and supplement deficiency, tonify original qi, dispel stasis to promote regeneration, and clear dried blood, for the purpose of slowing the progression of disease. These ideas might provide reference for clinical treatment.

Objective: To evaluate the platelet transfusion requirements in children with high-risk stage Ⅳ neuroblastoma undergoing autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (ASCT), and to identify risk factors for increased transfusion needs and prolonged time to platelet transfusion independence. Methods: This single-center retrospective clinical study included 96 children with high-risk stage Ⅳ neuroblastoma who underwent ASCT from January 2019 to May 2024 in our hospital. Relevant clinical data were collected and analyzed, including age, gender, body surface area, platelet count (PLT) on stem cell infusion day (day 0), conditioning regimen, CD34
stem cell dose, platelet transfusion requirements during transplantation, and time to platelet transfusion independence post-transplant. Results: All 96 (100%) children received transfusion after ASCT. From day 0 to transfusion independence, the median number of platelet transfusion was 3 (2, 4.50), and the median volume of platelet transfused was 3 (2, 4.25) units. Platelet transfusion was required in almost all children in pseudo-healing stage (day 4 to day 6) and polar stage (day 7 to day 14), with transfusion rates as high as 83.33%(n=80) and 100%(n=96), respectively. The median time to platelet transfusion independence post-transplant was 13(11,17) days. Multivariate analysis showed that PLT<100×10
/L on day 0, platelet transfusion within one week before ASCT, the use of “busulfan+ melphalan” conditioning regimen, and CD34
stem cell dose<4.0×10
/kg were associated with significantly increased platelet requirements and numbers of transfusion (P<0.05). PLT<100×10
/L on day 0, platelet transfusion within one week before ASCT, and CD34
stem cell dose<4.0×10
/kg were associated with significantly delayed platelet transfusion independence (P<0.05). Age, sex, and blood type showed no statistically significant association (P>0.05) with post-transplant platelet transfusion requirements or time to transfusion independence in neuroblastoma patients. Conclusion: This study provided quantitative data for platelet transfusion after ASCT in children with high-risk stage Ⅳ neuroblastoma, and identified PLT<100×10
/L on day 0, platelet transfusion within one week before ASCT, CD34
stem cell dose<4.0×10
/kg were risk factors for increased platelet transfusions and delayed transfusion independence. Furthermore, the use of the BuMel (busulfan-melphalan) conditioning regimen was also found to contribute to increased transfusion requirements.
