OBJECTIVE: To obtain the genetic polymorphism data of two STR loci D2S1399 and D5S2500 in Eastern Chinese Han population. METHODS: Blood samples or buccal swabs of unrelated Han individuals living in eastern China were analyzed using PCR-nature polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis-sliver staining method. RESULTS: 11 alleles of D2S1399 and 9 alleles of D5S2500 were observed in the samples respectively, the observed heterozygosity (Ho) values, the discrimination power (DP) values and the power of exclusion (PE) values of D2S1399 and D5S2500 is 0.745 and 0.807, 0.958 and 0.917, 0.554 and 0.643, respectively. CONCLUSION The result showed that D2S1399 and D5S2500 were highly informative loci and suitable for forensic application.

We have constituted a mouse model for fetal blood transplantation (FBT) to cross over major histocompatibility complex (MHC) without causing serious GVHD. It seems that full matching at the MHC appears not necessary for FBT, while the nucleated cell dose is critical. Two fetal blood units were combined from different donors to increase the stem/progenitor cell dose so as to explore the possibility of MHC-mismatched allogeneic transplantation. 26 out of 40 mice in mixed FBT group survived in the observation period of 60 days after transplantation without obvious GVHD. Double chimerism was demonstrated by PCR and flow cytometric analysis; and skin transplantation test proved the induction of donor specific immune tolerance. Our data suggest that two MHC-mismatched allogeneic donor fetal blood units could simultaneously engraft and reconstitute immune and hematopoietic system in a mouse model. The result may be beneficial for the expansion of cord blood application and enables more patients to share the advantages of cord blood transplantation.

Objective To explore the application effects of health education pathway in pulmonary surgeries on the recovery of lung function after lung operation.Methods Standard education pathway was established according to the needs of health education for peri-operative pulmonary patients.Ninety cases of patients with lung surgeries from November 2009 to September 2011 were chosen and divided into the pathway group with 46 cases and the control group with 44 cases by random number tables.The control group received conventional health education while the pathway group received health education pathway.Two groups' health education knowledge level,compliance of active exercise,postoperative complication,time of drawing drainage tube and lung function recovery was compared.Results There were statistically significant differences between two groups in the health education mastering degree,compliance of active exercise and the incidence of postoperative complications (x2 =5.7,10.7,9.7,respectively ; P ＜ 0.05).Every index of lung function recovery was better in the pathway group than the control group,and the difference was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05).The time of drawing drainage tube was also shortened in the pathway group than in the control group [(3.0 ± 1.67) d vs (6.0 ± 2.82) d],and the difference was statistically significant (t =4.613,P ＜ 0.01).Conclusions Application of health education pathway for peri-operative pulmonary patients can increase their health education knowledge and skills,improve respiratory function training compliance and effects,strengthen their lung function,pull out the chest tube in shorter time,and reduce postoperative complications.

This study was aimed to investigate the characteristics of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells during ex-vivo expansion, MSCs were isolated from human bone marrow. At each passage, the characteristics of proliferation kinetics, osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation potential were analyzed, and cell morphology, surface markers were investigated as well. The karyotype analysis was done in different passage cells. The infection HIV, HCV, HBV and TP were detected by ELISA. Mycoplasma contamination in vitro was detected by PCR method. HLA-SBT was used to reanalyze the results of HLA antigens and alleles. STR genetic loci were detected by PCR in the MSC1, MSC2, MSC3 and MSC4. The results indicated that the proliferative ability and osteogenic potential decreased with the increase of passage number during culture expansion. The multiple differentiation potential of MSCs was maintained during their life span. Karyotype analysis showed that MSCs from 4 groups before passage 8 were normal. The expression of CD29, CD44, CD105, CD166 and CD73 were positive. The expression of CD14, CD34, CD45, CD80, CD86 were all negative. SBT was used to identify HLA-A, B, Cw, DRB1, DRPB1, DQ alleles in the MSC1, MSC2, MSC3, MSC4. The genetype of STR in the MSC1, MSC2, MSC3, MSC4 was different. MSC 3 was examined by TP-ELISA to confirm the infectious disease of TP. MSC2 was contaminated by mycoplasma at passage 5. It is concluded that culture expansion causes MSCs to gradually lose their stem cell properties. During ex-vivo expansion of MSCs, the osteogenic differentiation potential is decreased. MSCs before passage 8 can be a valuable subject for basic research and clinical application.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the correlation between the platelet GP specific antibodies/HLA antibodies and platelet transfusion refractoriness (PTR).

METHODSSixty-five patients with PTR were selected in this study and were genotyped for HLA-A and HLA-B as well as HPA systems by standard PCR-SSP assays. The platelet GP specific antibodies and HLA antibodies in serum and platelet elution were tested with a solid phase ELISA.

RESULTSThe HLA-A/B antigens and the frequencies of HPA-1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 9, 15 antigens in PTR patients had no difference from those in healthy donors. The freguencies of HPA-3a and 3b were 0.65 and 0.35, respectively. There was statistical difference between the 65 PTR patients and the healthy donors in HPA-3 freguencies (P < 0.05). Twenty-four patients (36.9 %) only expressed HLA antibodies, and 14 (21.5%) expressed HLA and platelet GP specific antibodies. The highest expression of anti-HLA-A/B specific antibodies was -A*9(46.2 %)/-B*40(33.6%), respectively. In serum, GPIIb/IIIa was expressed (26.2%), followed by GPIa/IIa (21.5 %). In platelet elution, GPIIb/IIIa was expressed of 41.5% and GPIb/IX 41.5%. Pedigree study was carried out for 2 patients. The results showed that the platelet GP specific antibody/HLA antibody developed in PTR patients was highly related to the mismatch with the platelet antigen/HLA antigen in their parents.

CONCLUSIONThe expressions of the HLA and platelet GP specific antibodies are the most important reason in PTR, it's meaningful to explore the correlation between PTR and HLA and HLA-A/B antigen in guiding platelet transfusion.

In order to investigate the expression of the anti-platelet glycoprotein specific antibodies and anti-HLA antibodies in idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), 45 patients with ITP were selected in this study. An easy PCR-SSP assay was used to detect single-nucleotide polymorphisms or deletion in HPA and HLA systems. The anti-platelet glycoprotein specific antibodies and anti-HLA antibodies in plasma or platelet eluate were tested with a solid phase ELISA. The results indicated that the anti-platelet glycoprotein specific antibodies were detected in plasma or platelet eluate of 45 patients, among which anti-GPIIb/IIIa/and anti-GpIb/IX were most common. Both the anti-platelet glycoprotein specific antibodies and anti-HLA antibodies were found in plasma of 11 patients. Pedigree investigation in 2 patients (case 37 and case 40) was carried out, the results showed that anti-platelet glycoprotein specific antibodies and anti-HLA antibodies detected in 2 patients closely related to incompatibility with platelet antigens and HLA antigens in parents. In conclusion, the results suggested that detection of the anti-platelet glycoprotein specific antibodies and anti-HLA antibodies in plasma or platelet eluate in combination with investigation of clinical manifestation of patients is important for diagnosis of idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura.

Objective To investigate the epidemiology,diagnosis and treatment of an imported falciparum malaria patient in Xilin County,Baise City,so as to provide the reference for improving the diagnosis and treatment of falciparum malaria pa-tients in the future. Methods The epidemiological and clinical data were collected and analyzed. Results The patient had lived in Africa where the malaria was epidemic. The disease attacked him after his coming back home from abroad. The blood test for Plasmodium falciparum was positive. In Xilin County,no local Plasmodium infection was found from 2004 to 2016,and therefore,we concluded that this case was overseas imported. Conclusion The monitoring of overseas returnees in Xilin Coun-ty should be strengthened to timely diagnose and treat the imported cases of malaria.
