Objective: To compare the plasma components of frozen plasma (FP) and fresh frozen plasma (FFP)., Methods: Twenty samples of FP and 20 samples of FFP from Beijing Red Cross Blood Center were randomly selected. Immediately after plasma melting, 12 plasma components including coagulation factor, fibrinolytic system and anticoagulation protein were detected, including activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), prothrombin time (PT), coagulation factor Ⅷ (FⅧ) activity, coagulation factor Ⅴ (FⅤ) activity, fibrinogen(FIB) level, ADAMTS-13 activity, von Willebrand factor(vWF) activity, D-dimer (D-dimer, DD), fibrin degradation products (FDP), antithrombin (AT), protein C (PC), and protein S (PS). All these coagulation components between the two types of plasma were compared and analyzed., Results: Compared with FFP, APTT in FP was significantly prolonged(t=3.428, P<0.01), and PT was also significantly prolonged(z=-2.140, P<0.05), and FⅧ activity was decreased (t=-3.372, P<0.01), but all in the reference range, and PS activity was decreased(t=-2.458，P＜0.05), there was no statistical difference in the other part between two types of plasma(P>0.05)., Conclusion: FP can substitute FFP in the treatment of some diseases, although it is lack of some coagulation factors and anticoagulation protein.

Objective: To retrospectively analyze the identification results of irregular antibodies, to clarify the distribution features and to explore the relation of alloantibodies and autoantibodies with the immunized history of patients and disease kinds., Methods: 49 820 patients who applied for red blood transfusion during Sep 1st 2017 to Sep 1st 2018 were selected. All the specimens were screened for the antibody by microcolumn gel antiglobulin technique, which then were identified for irregular antibody., Results: Antibodies were found in 861 (1.73%) of all 49 820 transfused samples. The alloimmunization history of the patients with antibodies was significantly different between male and female (χ 2 =18.54，P＜0.01). The alloantibody was the most common, accounting for 59.50% in all of the antibodies. Warm autoantibody, anti-E, anti-M, anti-cE and anti-Ce accounted for 68.5% of the antibodies. The blood group of Rh, MNS and Lewis were responsible for 92.40% of alloantibody, especially anti-E accounted for the largest percentage(38.60%) of alloantibody. Patients with alloantiboies experienced much more the alloimmunization and transfusion history (χ 2 =20.13，P＜0.01；χ 2 =5.40，P＜0.05) . The distribution of auto and alloantibody was very significantly different among the ddifferent isease (χ 2 =51.8，P＜0.01), Hematopathy, solid tumor and osteoarthropathy were often associated with alloantibody, otherwise, autoantibodies often occurred in hematopathy and autoimmune disease., Conclusion: The most important factor that results in antibody-screening positive is alloantibody, in which anti-E antibody from Rh blood group system in most common.

Background: In bone marrow transplant patients, the microenvironment in bone marrow is damaged after chemotherapy or radiotherapy. Subsequent to allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in patients with clinically successful engraftments, the source of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) remains controversial. To further verify the stimulatory effect of the simultaneous transplantation of cells from second donors on engraftment success for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in support of donor MSCs engraftments, the aim of this study is to monitor the dynamics of the engraftment of bone marrow-derived MSCs in patients after transplantation with mismatched-sex hematopoietic stem and third-party cells., Methods: In this study, the hematopoietic stem cells from 32 clinical donors of different sexes that resulted in successful engraftments were selected for transplantation and were classified into three groups for research purposes: group A consisted of 14 cases of transplantation with bone marrow and recruited peripheral hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, group B contained 8 cases of simultaneous re-transfusion of MSCs from the second donor, and group C contained 10 cases of simultaneous re-transfusion of umbilical blood from the second donor. The bone marrow from 32 patients with successful engraftments of hematopoietic transplantation were selected and sub-cultured with MSCs. Flow cytometry (FCM) was used to measure the expression of surface antigens on MSCs. Denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography (DHPLC) in combination with polymerase chain reaction amplification of short tandem repeats (STRPCR) was used to measure the engraftment status of fifth-generation MSCs in patients. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) revealed the sex origin of the fifth-generation MSCs in 32 patients. Dynamic examinations were performed on patients receiving donor transplantations., Results: The progenies of fifth-generation MSCs were successfully cultured in 32 cases. The results of FCM demonstrated that the expression levels of CD14+ and CD45+ cells were lower than 0.04% in the fifth-generation MSCs. The analysis using DHPLC and FISH showed similar results. One patient from group B also received a temporary transplantation of MSCs from the donor. The MSCs in the remaining 31 patients all originated from the patients themselves., Conclusions: After transplantation, the MSCs present in patients originated from the host. In patients transplanted with MSCs from a second donor, the phenomenon of temporary chimerization of MSCs was observed.

The aim of this study was to investigate the role of mesenchymal stem cells in the hematopoietic reconstitution of patients who had received haploidentical allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (hi-allo-HSCT). 15 patients who underwent treatment with both MSCs and HSCs, were selected as study group, while 20 patients receiving only HSCT were taken as control. Bone marrow samples were obtained from iliac crest aspirates at several times after HSCT for the isolation, purification and expansion of MSCs. The confluent ratio and time were measured and compared with those of the control. The peripheral blood samples were obtained from patients, then absolute neutrophil and platelet counts were assayed. From day 4 before transplantation to day 28 after transplantation, serum was obtained every four days from patients of the two groups, and then 3 cytokines as SDF-1alpha, TPO and IL-11 were detected by ELISA. The results indicated that as compared with the control group, the ratio of primary confluent layer formation of MSCs in study group was obviously higher (27.3%) (p < 0.01), and the confluence time in culture was significantly less (p < 0.05). In the study group, the concentration of SDF-1alpha amounted to peak value (2975.19 +/- 681.56 pg/ml) on the 8th day after HSCT, which was obviously higher than that before HSCT (2403.70 +/- 522.39 pg/ml, p < 0.05), whereas in the control, the concentration of highest point of SDF-1alpha reached to peak valve (2280.60 +/- 701.25 pg/ml) on the 16th day after HSCT, which was less than that before HSCT (2701.46 +/- 483.21 pg/ml, p < 0.05). The concentration of TPO and IL-11 was higher in study group compared with the control from day 16 to 28 after HSCT (p < 0.05). It is concluded that the transfusion of MSCs combined with hi-all-HSCT may improve the injured state of the hematopoietic microenvironment in bone marrow of patients during allo-HSCT.
