Objective To investigate the functional role of mur in e hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) in inducing in vitro the mouse embryonic st em cells (ESC) to differentiate unidirectionally into hepatocyte. Method s Both spontaneous and HGF induced differentiations of the primordial c ell elusters formed by suspended culture in vitro of ESC were daily observed with microscope for 5-7 days. After 4 weeks of culture, the cells were stained with HE and glycogen staining, their morphology were observed, The synthesis of urea nitrogen and triglycerides in the culture medium, the expression of myocard ial MHC, albumin, AFP and CK18, and the indocyanine green (ICG) staining were a lso detected. Results It was hard to control the spontaneous di fferentiation of ESC. HGF could promote the differentiation of ESC into endoderm , and more likely into myocardium. HGF could also induce the expression o f albumin, AFP and CK18, and positive staining of ICG and FDA. Conclusio ns HGF may induce the differentiation of ESC into hepatocyte, but the f unctional role is limited. It implies that a comprehensive effort of multiple fa ctors might be needed in inducing the hepatocyte differentiation.

Objective To evaluate the influence of the storing time of venous blood samples on the differential count of WBC by Sysmex XE-2100 hematology analyzer. Methods At room temperature, the precision of the differential count of WBC by Sysmex XE-2100 hematology analyzer were tested. 38 samples were taken the differential count of WBC by Sysmex XE-2100 hematology analyzer after stored for 0, 2, 4, 8, 24 and 48 h. Differential count of WBC was also taken under microscope for comparison. Results The precision of differential count of WBC by Sysmex XE-2100for all the samples was in the allowable range. The correlation coefficient of the differential count of WBC by two methods for neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils and basophils were 0.9859, 0.9775, 0.8053, 0.8695and 0.5243 (P<0.01). There was insignificant difference in the test at 8h, very significant difference of MONO and EOS at 48 h. Differences of EOS, MONO between two methods were significant increased at 8 h. Conclusion At room temperature, the differential count of WBC of venous blood samples by Sysmex XE-2100 hematology analyzer should finish within 8 h.

【Objective】 To research the genetic polymorphism of HPA 1-6/10/15/21 in platelet donors in Zhongshan area, and establish a gene bank of platelet donors with HPA locus. 【Methods】 The HPA 1-6/10/15/21 system genotyping was performed by Real time fluorescent PCR combined with TaqMan probe technology on 192 platelet donors in Zhongshan area, and the genotype frequency and gene frequency were calculated. 【Results】 Only HPA-aa genotype was found within HPA-4/10, and no allele HPA-b had been detected. The majority of HPA-1, 2, 5, 6 and 21 genotypes were aa. HPA-3 and HPA-15 showed high heterozygosity, with genotype frequency of 0.307 3, 0.494 8 and 0.197 9 for HPA- 3aa, HPA-3ab and HPA-3bb, while 0.270 8, 0.505 2 and, 0.224 0 for HPA -15aa, HPA-15ab and HPA-15bb, respectively. 【Conclusion】 The distribution characteristics of HPA 1-6 /10/15/21 of platelet donors in Zhongshan shows regional differences compared with similar researches from other regions. The establishment of HPA gene bank is helpful to avoid alloimmunization caused by incompatible platelet transfusion.

【Objective】 To understand the frequency and significance of anti-" Mi^a" (anti-" Mi^a" mixtures of antibodies) in local population in Zhongshan, and the influence of different experimental conditions on the activity of human anti-" Mi^a" . 【Methods】 The microplate-based agglutination assay and polybrene method were used to screen anti-" Mi^a" in 3 587 blood samples from voluntary blood donors and patients using O type red blood cells with positive Mi^a antigen, then.rechecked by tube method and microcolumn gel card method. 【Results】 The frequency of anti-" Mi^a" was 1.06% (38/3 587), among which 60.5% (23/38) were IgM and 39.5% (15/38) were mixture of IgM and IgG; 0.61% (13/2 135) in local blood donors and 1.72% (25/1 452) in patients(P<0.01). 65.8% (25/38) of the population carrying anti-" Mi^a" had a history of immunity. 57.9% (22/38) were identified to be anti-" Mur" and 42.1% (16/38) anti-" Mi^a" using GP.Vw erythrocyte. The appropriate incubation time for anti-" Mi^a" test was 10 min. 【Conclusion】 The frequency of anti-" Mi^a" was relatively high among blood donors and patients in Zhongshan, and most of the anti-" Mi^a" carriers had a history of immunity. Most anti-Mi^a antibodies were active in saline, and some of them were mixture of IgM and IgG. It may be helpful to include Mi^a positive red blood cells in the irregular antibody screening cell panel to improve the safety of blood transfusion.

【Objective】 To investigate the frequency of CD36 deletion and gene mutation in voluntary blood donors of Zhongshan city, and to explore the possibility of establishing local CD36 negative platelet donor bank. 【Methods】 Platelet CD36 antigen was detected by ELISA in 1 654 voluntary blood donors.Some of the negative samples were confirmed by flow cytometry, and genotyping was also performed. 【Results】 Platelet CD36 antigen was negative in 27 cases, accounting for 1.6% (27/1654), among which 1.6% (18/1149) were males and 1.8% (9/505) were females.No significant difference was noticed between males and females in CD36 antigen deletion cases (P>0.05). Fifteen CD36 negative samples were randomly selected, genotyped and sequenced, with type I deletion in 1 case[ 6.7% (1/15)], type Ⅱ deletion in 14 cases[ 93.3% (14/15)], and gene mutation in exon 3-14 detected in 8 cases. 【Conclusion】 The frequency of platelet CD36 antigen deletion in Zhongshan is comparable to that in other southern regions of China.The establishment of CD36 negative platelet donor bank is conductive to improve the effectiveness of platelet transfusion.

【Objective】 To investigate the frequency of platelet antibodies in voluntary blood donors and patients in Zhongshan, Guangdong Province, and to study the specificity and cross-matching of platelet antibodies. 【Methods】 Platelet antibodies of blood donors and patients were screened by solid-phase immunoadsorption (SPIA), rechecked by flow cytometry (FCM), and antibody specificity was identified by PakPlus enzyme immunoassay, and platelet cross-matching was simulated by SPIA. 【Results】 A total of 1 049 blood donor samples and 598 patient samples were tested, with 6 (0.57%) and 49 (8.19%) samples positive for SPIA,respectively(P<0.05); In SPIA positive samples, the positive concordance rate of FCM in blood donors and patients was 100% vs 95%, and that of enzyme immunoassay was 100% vs 88%. Among the initial screening positive samples of blood donors, 5 were anti-HLA Ⅰ antibodies, accounting for 83%, and 1 was anti CD36 antibody, accounting for 17%, with an incidence rate of 0.10%. Among the 14 samples of enzyme immunoassay positive patients, 2 were anti-GP Ⅱb/Ⅲa, 1 was anti-GP Ⅱa/Ⅱa, 8 were anti HLA Ⅰ, and 3 were mixed antibodies (HLA Ⅰ, GP Ⅱb/Ⅲa, GP Ⅰa/Ⅱa). According to the types of antibodies, HLA Ⅰ antibodies were the most common, accounting for 65% (11/17), followed by HPA related anti GP, accounting for 35% (6/17). The majority of patients had a platelet antibody positive typing rate below 30%, accounting for 71.4% (10/14). 【Conclusions】 The positive rate of platelet antibody of patients in Zhongshan area is significantly higher than that of voluntary blood donors, and most of them are anti-HLA Ⅰ and anti-GP, and the incidence of anti-CD36 is extremely low. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a known platelet antigen donor bank, and at the same time, carry out platelet antibody testing and matching of patients, which is helpful to solve the issue of platelet transfusion refractoriness.
