A new type of killer cells, named PHA-?CD3LAK, was induced by means of costimulating the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) with anti-CD3McAb (?CD3) and rIL-2 after PHA-priming for 48 hours. Some biological characteristics of PHA-?CD3LAK, PHA-LAK and CD3AK were compared. The results showed that PHA-?CD3LAK exhibited some advantages over CD3AK and PHA-LAK in proliferation, cytotoxicity, the expression level of mIL-2R, as well as the utilizing of IL-2, suggesting the synergistic enhancing role of PHA, ?CD3 and IL-2. All three groups of effector cells were heterogeneous populations, predominantly CD3 + CD8 + T cells. The CD8 ~(+) cell percentage of PHA-?CD3LAK was higher than that of the other two groups. The application of PHA-?CD3LAK might open a new prospect to clinical therapeutic approach.

Objective To investigate the expression and significance of Th9, Th17 and CD4+CD25+Foxp3+regulatory T (Treg) cells as well as the related cytokines (IL-9, IL-17, TGF-β) in peripheral blood of patients with adult primary immune thrombocytopenia ( ITP) . Methods Peripheral blood samples were collected from 47 patients with ITP and 39 age-and sex-matched healthy subjects. The percentages of Th9, Th17 and CD4+CD25+Foxp3+Treg cells in peripheral blood samples were detected with flow cytometry. The levels of IL-9, IL-17 and TGF-βin serum samples were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay ( ELISA) . Results Compared with healthy subjects, the percentages of Th9 and Thl7 cells and the concen-trations of IL-9 and IL-17 in patients with ITP were significantly increased [(1. 27±0. 31)% vs (0. 71± 0. 26)%, P<0. 05;(2. 01±0. 42)% vs (0. 97±0. 32)%, P<0. 05. (26. 52±7. 48) ng/L vs (16. 16± 5. 27) ng/L, P<0. 05;(10. 97±3. 94) ng/L vs (7. 14±2. 73) ng/L, P<0. 05]. The percentages of CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ Treg cells and the concentrations of TGF-β in patients with ITP were lower than those in healthy subjects [(4. 69±0. 85)% vs (7. 16±1. 92)%, P<0. 05. (3. 76±1. 28) μg/L vs (6. 41±1. 83)μg/L, P<0. 05]. Moreover, the blood platelet counts in patients with ITP were negatively correlated with the percentages of Th9 and Th17 cells and the concentrations of IL-9 and IL-17 (γs=-0. 349, P=0. 037;γs=-0. 392, P=0. 031;γs=-0. 436, P=0. 014;γs=-0. 401, P=0. 027), but were positively correlated with the percentages of CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ Treg cells and the concentrations of TGF-β (γs=0. 411, P=0. 024;γs=0. 407, P=0. 026). Conclusion The imbalanced distribution of Th9, Th17 and Treg cells and the abnormal expression of related cytokines (IL-9, IL-17 and TGF-β) in patients with ITP might be the possible immunological pathogenesis of ITP.

【Objective】 To investigate the voluntary blood donation status across China under COVID-19 epidemic in 2020 and the corresponding countermeasures, so as to provide reference for blood center staff. 【Methods】 A questionnaire of Survey of Blood Collection and Supply under COVID-19 Epidemic in 2020 was issued by Blood Donor Mobilization Committee of Chinese Blood Transfusion Association to conduct the data survey on blood collection and supply institutions nationwide. 【Results】 The valid data of 115 cities were collected, and detailed data of whole blood and platelet collection, clinical blood consumption, and measures taken to ensure clinical blood use under COVID-19 epidemic from 2019 to 2020 were obtained. The total volume of whole blood collection in the 115 blood supply institutions in 2020 (13 262 724.36 U)decreased by 4.83% compared with the same period in 2019(13 935 131.5 U), and the total units of platelet collection(1 582 494.5 U)was basically the same as that in 2019(1 581 139.5 U). The total clinical consumption of RBCs from the 115 blood banks in 2020(14 257 441.67 U)decreased by 3.68% compared with that in 2019(1 4801 404.19 U), and the total clinical consumption of platelets(1 738 546.42 U)was basically the same as that in 2019(1 731 037.70 U). With the support of governments at all levels, blood banks have basically guaranteed the clinical blood supply under the epidemic by organizing group blood donation for emergency, making appointments for blood donation, recruiting regular blood donors by phone and text messages, strengthening media publicity and launching haemovigilance. 【Conclusion】 The government attaches great importance to blood safety in public emergencies and plays a leading role. Making appointments for blood donation, recruiting regular blood donors through telephone and text messages and strengthening media publicity play an important role in emergency blood donation. Blood banks should cooperate closely with hospitals to coordinate emergency management of clinical blood, and took various measures to broaden sources and reduce transfusions, so as to effectively guarantee clinical blood supply during the epidemic.

Objective To verify the criteria proposed by National Academy of Clinical Biochemistry(NACB)guidelines in investigating the factors that affect serum TSH determination, and to determine the reference range of serum TSH in iodine-sufficient areas of China. Methods In 2007, 5 348 inhabitants were enrolled from 3 iodine-sufficient areas of Liaoning Province, and were asked to fulfill the questionnaire. Serum TSH, thyroid peroxidase antibody(TPOAb), and thyroglobulin antibody(TgAb)were determined, and thyroid ultrasonography was carried out. Results The distribution of TSH levels was skewed in healthy people and closely fit the curve of Gaussian distribution after logarithmic transformation. The levels of TSH in subjects of 12-19 years of age were significantly higher than those of other age groups(P＜0.01), and no significant difference was found among the latter groups. TSH level in females [(1.68±1.90)mIU/L] was higher than in males[(1.45±1.92)mIU/L, P＜0.01]. The reference range of TSH was 0.43-4.74 mIU/L in males, and 0.48-5.39 mIU/L in females. Family history of thyroid disease, abnormal thyroid ultrasonography, and positive thyroid antibodies were the factors that influenced TSH level. Conclusion The reference range of serum TSH in iodine-sufficient areas of China is established.

【Objective】 To investigate the effect of phenotypes of Duffy blood group on chemokine storage and chemokine scavenging function of erythrocytes. 【Methods】 Twenty-four erythrocyte samples were collected and tested Duffy blood phenotype using the anti-human globulin method, and erythrocyte CCL2, CCL5, CXCL8, and CCL11 content and their chemokine scavenging function using ELISA. The expression of Duffy antigens on erythrocytes was detected using a flow analyzer. 【Results】 The difference in CCL2 content(41.1±14.7 pg/mL vs 63.1±20.8 pg/mL)of erythrocyte lysate between Fy(a+b-) and Fy(a+b+) phenotype was statistically significant (P<0.05), however, the difference in the content of CCL5(794.5±320.1 pg/mL vs 846.9±359.4 pg/mL), CXCL8(59.5±34.2 pg/mL vs 49.1± 11.9 pg/mL), and CCL11(109.1±25.1 pg/mL vs 158.6 ±56.0 pg/mL) were not statistically significant (P>0.05).The difference in the scavenging function of CCL2(1471±202.1 pg/mL vs 1860±267.5 pg/mL)and CCL5 (848.5±461.7 pg/mL vs 1797±546.1pg/mL) between Fy(a+b-) and Fy(a+b+) phenotype were statistically significant (P<0.05), however, for CXCL8(1851±180.7 pg/mL vs 1 862± 248.3 pg/mL) and CCL11(691.0±125.7 pg/mL vs 781.7 ±293.8 pg/mL) scavenging function the difference were not statistically significant (P>0.05).The difference in Duffy antigen expression (mean fluorescent intensity:105.3±20.45 vs 111.9±18.30)on erythrocytes between Fy(a+b-) and Fy(a+b+) phenotype was not statistically significant (P>0.05). 【Conclusion】 The Fy(a+b+) and Fy(a+b-) phenotypes of the Duffy blood group can affect the chemokine storage and scavenging function of erythrocytes. Fy(a+b+) phenotypes are able to store more chemokines and have a stronger chemokine scavenging function than Fy(a+b-) phenotypes.
