Chinese Journal of Immunology 2018;34(2):267-269
Objective:The Rh antigen typing and antibody identification results of the patients whose irregular antibody screening positive were analyzed,to explore the clinical significance of detecting the Rh antigens typing before the first blood transfusion of the patients who require multiple blood transfusions.Methods:The Rh antigenic typing of 128 irregular antibody screening positive patients were tested by test tube method.The monospecific antibody were identified by microcolumn gel method.Results: Of the 128 patients with irregular antibody screening positive,there were 77 cases in Rh system,including 72 cases of anti-E and 5 cases of anti-c. There were 14 cases of MNSs system,including 10 cases of anti-M and 4 cases of anti-Mur.There were 15 cases of anti-Leain Lewis system.There were 4 cases of anti-P1in P system and 18 cases of other nonspecific antibodies.The distribution of Rh antigen detection was DCCee(74 cases)> DCcEe(34 cases)> DCcee(10 cases)> DccEE(5 cases)> DccEe(2 cases)> DCcEE(1 case),dCcee(1 case),dccee(1 case).The majority phenotype of Rh system antibodies in patients were DCCee.The patients were mainly distributed in the wards who require repeated blood transfusions such as the department of blood internal medicine(26 cases),digestive internal medicine(11 cases),ICU(4 cases).Conclusion:Before the first blood transfusion,we detect the Rh antigenic typing and choose the same antigen phenotype of Rh system for the patients who require blood transfusions repeatedly,which can avoid producing the irregular antibodies in this system,and then to ensure the safety and effective of the blood transfusion.

Objective To investigate the MR features of pituitary abscess.Methods The MR features of 14 cases of pituitary abscess proved by surgical pathology and clinical treatments were analyzed retrospectively.Results Pre-contrast MR showed hypointense heterogeneous intensity on T_1 WI in 12 cases and iso-hyperintense on T_1 WI in 2 cases,hyperintense on T_2 WI in all cases.Post-gadolinium MR showed the ring-like enhancement around the uneven edge of abscess and the surrounding enhanced meninges connecting to the focus.The normal pituitary could not be identified in all 14 cases.The MR specific findings include the fluid-fluid level,nodule on the edge and the enhanced patchy shadow.Conclusions The pituitary abscess has specific findings on MR examination,which can be used to combine with clinical symptoms to achieve the diagnosis before operation,so that the cases could be treated with antibiotic without operation.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility of 3-(4-~(18)F-fluorobenzyl)-8,9-dimethoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydrochromeno [3,4-c]pyridin-5-one ( is F-FDTP) as a potential dopamine D4 receptor PET imaging agent.Methods ~(18)F-FDTP solution in ethanol-physiological saline was incubated with calf serum to test its in vitro stability through the determination of radiochemical purity.Normal rats were injected intravenously with ~(18)F-FDTP and then sacrificed at 2,5,10,15,30,60 and 120 min after anesthesia.Blood,organs and brain tissue samples were collected.All samples were weighed and measured for radioactivity.The uptake of samples was expressed as percentage activity of injection dose per gram of tissue ( % ID/g).Results The stability of ~(18)F-FDTP was satisfactory and its radiochemical purity was above 95% after incubation 120 min at 37℃ in calf serum.The biodistribution showed that ~(18)F-FDTP could penetrate through the blood-brain barrier and selectively accumulate in striatum,hypothalamus,frontal certex,hippocampus,cerebellum,where the D_4 receptor was reportedly located.The radioactivities in hippocampus,hypothalamus,striatum,frontal cortex,cerebellum,pons were (0.42±0.03),(0.46±0.05),(0.54±0.04),(0.39±0.04),(0.45±0.06),(0.35±0.04) %ID/g,respectively,2 min post injection.And there was difference between the normal biodistribution results and the blocking experimental results:(0.36 ±0.05),( 0.33±0.05 ),(0.55±0.05 ),(0.30±0.07 ),(0.34±0.07 ) and (0.32±0.04) % ID/g in hippocampus,hypothalamus,striatum,frontal cortex,cerebellum and pons,respectively.Conclusions ~(18)F-FDTP can penetrate through the blood-brain barrier and selectively accumulate in striatum,hypothalamus,frontal cortex,hippocampus,cerebellum,where the D_4 receptor was known to concentrate.These preliminary results suggest that ~(18)F-FDTP is a potential dopamine D_4 receptor imaging agent and further studies are needed.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the efficiency of navigation system for orbital wall reconstruction in unilateral orbital fractures.
METHODSFifteen patients (7 male and 8 female) with unilateral orbital fracture underwent orbital reconstruction with the help of intraoperative navigation system. The average age was 34.3 ± 9.5 years. All patients underwent spiral CT scanning preoperatively, and the CT data was imported to the BrainLab navigation system (Germany, BrainLab company). The orbit of the intact side was mirrored to the opposite side as the reference for pre-operative planning. The titanium mesh was mounted on the resin template made by rapid prototyping machine based on the mirrored CT data. When the injury was limited, the hydroxyapatite sheet was used for the orbital wall reconstruction. During the operation, the real-time navigation helped to ensure precise placement. The re-establishing result was assessed based on the postoperative CT data with the following four variables: the volumetric difference between the bilateral orbit, the volume of the herniated soft tissue, the global projection and the discrepancy between the simulated and the achieved position of the reconstructed orbital wall. The reconstructive discrepancy was measured only in the titanium plate grafting cases.
RESULTSThere were no serious complications such as infection, graft rejection and optic nerve injury in any case. Preoperatively, the average degree of enophthalmos was (3.5 ± 1.6) mm, the average volumetric difference between the injured and the unaffected orbit was (4.5 ± 1.8) ml, and the average volume of the herniated orbital soft tissue was (2.1 ± 0.7) ml. Postoperatively, the three values were respectively reduced to (1.3 ± 0.6) mm, (1.8 ± 0.9) ml and (0.7 ± 0.3) ml. The discrepancy of the medial and inferior wall were (2.5 ± 0.6) mm and (2.1 ± 0.4) mm.
CONCLUSIONSThe intraoperative use of navigation system for the orbital wall reconstruction in unilateral orbital fractures can provide reliable accuracy and achieve satisfactory results.

Cytokines such as erythropoietin (EPO) and thrombopoitein (TPO) and so on, which stimulate hematopoiesis, can regulate self-renewal, proliferation, differentiation, maturation and programmed cell death of hematopoietic cells through specifically binding to surface receptors. Recently random phage display peptide libraries and other screening methods have been used to isolate mimetic including small peptides and non-peptides molecules, which can mimic the same effects as cytokines, such as EPO and TPO, and demonstrate the similar potency and activity as EPO and TPO in a panel of in vitro biological assays and in animal experiments. These approaches are critical to further research of interactive mechanisms between cytokine and receptor, receptor activation and rational design of other desired cytokine mimetic. This review concisely introduced recent advances in research on mimetic of EPO, TPO and other cytokines and future directions.

OBJECTIVETo study the expression of recombinant human SCF-TPO fusion protein and its biological function.
METHODSFour primers were designed according to known sequences of TPO and SCF. The functional amino acid domains of TPO and SCF were amplified by RT-PCR from fetus hepatocytes, respectively. The expression plasmid pET32a/SCF-TPO was constructed by VOE gene fusion technique and expressed in E. coli BL21(DE3) plysS as inclusion body after isopropyl-beta-D-1-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG) induction. The fusion protein was tested by SDS-PAGE and Western blot. The biological functions of SCF-TPO fusion protein in MO7e cells was investigated by MTT method after purification with metal chelating chromatography.
RESULTSThe high expression SCF-TPO fusion protein was obtained, reaching up to 30% of the total cellular protein. Western blot verified the correct fusion expression and MTT results showed the growth promoting effect of the SCF-TPO fusion protein on MO7e cells, with a higher promoting activity at 100 ng/ml.
CONCLUSIONSExpressed SCF-TPO fusion protein after renaturation has biological activity in promoting the proliferation of MO7e cells.
