Objective: To identify the mimicking autoantibodies using papain-enhanced erythrocyte agglutination in a case of repeated red blood cell transfusion refractoriness, aiming to explore the immune hematological methods for identifying mimicking alloantibodies, autoantibodies and alloantibodies, and to develop a safe and effective blood transfusion strategy based on the results. Methods: ABO, RhD and RhEeCc blood groups were detected using routine blood group serological method. The unexpected antibodies in plasma were screened and identified, followed by identification using a two-step papain-treated indirect antiglobulin test (enzyme-IAT). The cause of transfusion refractoriness of red blood cells was analyzed and summarized, and the prognosis was followed up. Results: The patient's blood type was type A, CCDee. The direct antiglobulin test (DAT) was positive. Unexpected antibody screening and identification using saline tube method, polybrene method, IAT were negative, and the release fluid (acid release) IAT identification was negative. Mimicking anti-e antibodies in plasma was identified by enzyme-ITA. The cause of red blood cell transfusion refractoriness in patients was autoimmune hemolysis caused by mimicking anti-e antibodies. After choosing to avoid antibodies corresponding to antigen-positive red blood cells, the patient's hemoglobin (Hb) increase value is in line with theoretical expectations, indicating effective red blood cell transfusion. Conclusion: Mimicking antibodies can cause immune destruction of red blood cells by non-specific binding to their own red blood cells and specific binding to red blood cells, resulting in red blood cell transfusion refractoriness.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of vitamin D as an adjunct to low-dose aspirin on patients with early-onset severe preeclampsia.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 102 patients with early-onset severe preeclampsia admitted to Zhoushan Women and Children's Hospital from January 2020 to January 2024. Fifty patients admitted for treatment from January 2020 to January 2022 were included in the control group and received low-dose aspirin treatment. Fifty-two patients admitted between February 2022 and January 2024 were included in the observation group and received vitamin D as an adjunct to low-dose aspirin treatment. Both groups were treated for 7 days. Blood pressure, homocysteine, serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D 3, renal function indicators (glomerular filtration rate, 24-hour urine protein quantification), coagulation function indicators (prothrombin time, thrombin time, D-dimer, activated partial thromboplastin time), and pregnancy outcomes were compared between the two groups. Results:After treatment, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, homocysteine, 24-hour urine protein quantification, and D-dimer in the observation group were (134.33 ± 6.28) mmHg (1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa), (88.57 ± 5.76) mmHg, (10.65 ± 3.15) μmol/L, (0.59 ± 0.31) g/24 hours, and (0.51 ± 0.32) mg/L, respectively. These values were significantly lower than those in the control group [(142.28 ± 6.04) mmHg, (93.85 ± 5.38) mmHg, (13.15 ± 2.89) μmol/L, (1.28 ± 0.47) g/24 hours, and (0.73 ± 0.49) mg/L, t = 4.17, -10.37, 4.17, 8.79, 2.69, all P < 0.05]. In the observation group, serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D 3 level and glomerular filtration rate were (27.94 ± 6.43) μg/L and (98.65 ± 14.72) mL·min?1·1.73 m?2, respectively. These values were significantly higher than those in the control group [(15.24 ± 5.92) μg/L, (90.19 ± 12.07) mL·min?1·1.73 m?2 ( t = -10.37, -3.18, both P < 0.05). Additionally, in the observation group, prothrombin time, thrombin time, and activated partial thromboplastin time were (12.19 ± 0.53) seconds, (12.19 ± 0.53) seconds, and (0.51 ± 0.32) seconds, respectively. These times were significantly shorter than those in the control group [(13.22 ± 1.15) seconds, (16.94 ± 2.07) seconds, and (34.21 ± 3.93) seconds ( t = 5.85, 4.27, 3.81, all P < 0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in incidence of pregnancy outcomes between the two groups ( P > 0.05). Conclusions:Vitamin D as an adjunct to low-dose aspirin for the treatment of early-onset severe preeclampsia significantly reduces blood pressure, enhances blood circulation, promotes metabolism, improves coagulation function, and aids in the recovery of renal function in patients.

AIM:To investigate the efficacy of Shenxiankang(SXK)in mitigating renal fibrosis in unilateral ureteral obstruction(UUO)mice,and elucidate its regulatory mechanism targeting the differentiation antagonizing non-protein coding RNA(DANCR)/TGF-β1/Smad3 signaling axis.METHODS:Mice were randomly assigned to:normal group(NC),model group(UUO),low,medium and high doses(1 500,3 000 and 4 500 mg·kg-1·d-1)of SXK group,and benazepril(10 mg·kg-1·d-1)group.Chronic kidney disease was modeled via unilateral ureteral ligation.Renal DAN-CR overexpression was induced using tail vein injection coupled with ultrasound microbubble technology.In vitro,human renal tubular epithelial cells(HK-2)were stimulated with TGF-β1;DANCR was either knocked down or overexpressed,followed by SXK intervention in both in vivo and in vitro models.Renal tissues were harvested for pathological assessment.DANCR expression and localization were analyzed using fluorescence in situ hybridization.Fibrosis deposition was evaluat-ed by immunohistochemistry(IHC).Western blot quantified the expression of fibrosis markers(α-SMA,FN)and key components of the TGF-β1/Smad3 signaling axis(p-Smad3,Smad3,TGF-β1).RESULTS:UUO mice exhibited signifi-cant renal tubular dilation.SXK intervention ameliorated renal lesions and reduced fibrosis.In UUO mice with DANCR overexpression,levels of renal fibrosis markers(α-SMA,FN)and TGF-β1/Smad3 signaling axis proteins(p-Smad3,Smad3,TGF-β1)were increased;these effects were reversed by SXK.In vitro,DANCR knockdown decreased the expres-sion of fibrotic proteins/mRNA and TGF-β1/Smad3 signaling axis components.SXK treatment effectively counteracted the fibrotic injury and TGF-β1/Smad3 signaling axis activation induced by DANCR overexpression.CONCLUSION:SXK ef-fectively mitigates renal fibrosis in UUO mice,potentially through regulation of the DANCR/TGF-β1/Smad3 signaling axis.

Direct antiglobulin test (DAT), also known as Coomb's test, is a method used in blood immunology to detect whether the surface of red blood cells is sensitized by immunoglobulin or complement. It is mainly used in the diagnosis of autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA), neonatal hemolytic anemia, hemolytic transfusion reaction and blood matching during blood transfusion. DAT positive has always been the focus of researchers, because it has an important impact on the efficacy of blood transfusion. In recent years, there has been extensive research on the identification of DAT positivity types and the distribution characteristics of diseases in clinical patients, and the study on hemolytic disease of the newborn has also been popular. However, the transfusion safety of DAT-positive blood donors has been a hot topic in the field of blood transfusion for many years. Moreover, there is no clear requirement from the state on the handling of DAT-positive blood and whether DAT-positive blood donors should be deferred from donation. Therefore, this article reviews the serological studies on DAT immunotyping and IgG subtype typing of voluntary blood donors, as well as the impact of DAT-positive blood on blood transfusion safety, in order to provide references for the blood issuance strategy of DAT-positive blood and whether DAT-positive blood donors should be deferred.

Objective:To observe the effects of moxibustion at Shenshu(BL23)and Zusanli(ST36)on Toll-like receptor 4(TLR4)-myeloid differentiation factor 88(Myd88)signaling pathway-mediated inflammatory factors in the synovial tissue of ankle joints of rats with rheumatoid arthritis(RA),and to explore the molecular and biological mechanisms underlying the anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects.Methods:A total of 24 male Sprague-Dawley(SD)rats were randomly divided into a normal group,a model group,and a moxibustion group,with 8 rats in each group.The RA model was established with exposure to wind,cold,and damp environmental factors,along with Freund's complete adjuvant.After three days of modeling,mild moxibustion was applied to bilateral Shenshu(BL23)and Zusanli(ST36)in the moxibustion group using moxa sticks of 0.9 cm in diameter for 30 min each time,once a day for 14 d.Structural changes in the synovial tissue and cells were then observed using hematoxylin-eosin staining and transmission electron microscopy,while immunohistochemistry analysis was used to detect tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-α,interleukin(IL)-17,IL-1β,and IL-6 levels.Moreover,the protein expression levels of Myd88,TLR4,and transient potential receptor vanilloid type 1(TRPV1)in the synovial tissue were detected using Western blotting,while their mRNA expression levels were detected using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction.Finally,the levels of IL-1β,IL-2,IL-6,IL-17A,and TNF-α in rat serum were detected using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Results:Compared to the normal group,the model group exhibited notable pathological synovial tissue damage,along with significantly higher IL-1β,IL-6,and TNF-α levels(P<0.01)and a slightly higher IL-17 content(P>0.05).Furthermore,the Myd88,TLR4,and TRPV1 protein and mRNA expression levels and serum IL-1β,IL-2,IL-6,IL-17A,and TNF-α levels were all significantly higher in the model group than in the normal group(P<0.01).Compared to the model group,the moxibustion group exhibited a lower degree of synovial tissue pathological damage,along with significantly lower IL-1β,IL-6,and TNF-α levels(P<0.05 or P<0.01)and a lower IL-17 content without statistical significance(P>0.05).Moreover,the Myd88,TLR4,and TRPV1 protein and mRNA expression levels,and serum IL-1β,IL-2,IL-6,IL-17A,and TNF-α levels were all significantly lower in the moxibustion group than in the model group(P<0.01 or P<0.05).Conclusion:Mild moxibustion at Shenshu(BL23)and Zusanli(ST36)can effectively inhibit TLR4-MyD88 signaling pathway-mediated inflammatory factor expression in the synovial tissue of ankle joints of RA rats.Furthermore,the effect of moxibustion on synovial tissue inflammation in RA rats may be attributed to TRPV1 channel activation.

This study investigates the feasibility of the VP8*protein as a subunit vaccine target for porcine rotavirus A(PoRVA),a major causative agent of diarrhea in piglets.The VP8* genes of PoRVA P[13]and P[23]genotype strains were amplified by RT-PCR.These genes were then liga-ted into the pET-28a(+)vector,yielding recombinant plasmids pET-28a-XJWF1-VP8*-P[23]and pET-28a-ShXYW13-VP8*-P[13].These plasmids were subsequently transformed into BL21(DE3)competent cells.The VP8*protein,induced by IPTG,was purified using affinity chroma-tography,and its expression and purification were verified by SDS-PAGE and Western blot.The purified VP8* protein was used to immunize mice,and serum samples were collected after three immunizations.Cross-neutralization assays were conducted to evaluate the ability of the VP8*protein immune serum to neutralize different genotype strains.The results demonstrated the ex-pression of soluble VP8*protein,with SDS-PAGE and Western blot analyses showing that the purified VP8*protein existed in both monomeric(27 kDa)and homodimeric(54 kDa)forms.ELISA results indicated that high levels of antibodies were produced in mice immunized with VP 8*-P[13]and VP8*-P[23]after three immunizations.Serum cross-neutralization assays revealed that the neutralizing titers of PoRVA VP8*-P[13]and VP8*-P[23]immune sera against homol-ogous genotype strains ranged from 1∶4 800 to 1∶19 200,significantly higher than those against heterologous genotype strains(1∶1 200).This suggests that the VP8*protein of different geno-type strains exhibits both antigenic conservation and distinct variability.The data obtained in this study provide a solid foundation for further exploration of the antigenic structure of the PoRVA VP8* protein and the development of novel subunit vaccines.
