Objective: To investigate the role of multiple serological methods in the identification of complex antibodies.

Methods: The blood group antigens were detected by saline and microcolumn agglutination methods. The saline method was used to screen and identify IgM-type antibodies in the patient's serum, while the polybrene, anti-globulin, microcolumn agglutination, enzymic and absorption-elution methods were used to screen and identify IgG-type antibodies.

Background: The goal was to simply and efficiently predict the indicators of disease severity in knee osteoarthritis (KOA) patients.

Methods: One hundred eighty-four patients with KOA and 126 healthy subjects were included. WOMAC (Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index) was used as a reference index for disease severity in KOA patients, in which WOMAC < 80 was classified as mild and WOMAC ≥ 80 as moderate and severe.

Article Synopsis
  • Stress fractures of the femoral neck are rare, especially when they occur simultaneously with proximal femur fractures in the same leg; the case discussed involves a 62-year-old woman with such dual fractures.
  • The patient presented with hip and thigh pain, and imaging revealed tension fractures; she had a prior history of surgery for a different femur fracture.
  • Total hip arthroplasty was performed due to the patient's age and the complexity of the fractures, with follow-up showing healing of the proximal femur fracture in three months.

The present study analyzed the current Chinese medicinal health products and Chinese patent medicines effective in boosting memory,aiming at providing references for the formulation and development of memory-boosting health products. The information on memory-boosting health products published by the Department of Special Food Safety Supervision and Management,the State Administration for Market Regulation( SAMR) was collected and the Chinese patent medicines on DRUGDATAEXPY were searched. Microsoft Excel and the TCMISS were used to statistically analyze the characteristics of formulations.

Objective: To study the serological characteristics and molecular biological basis of 8 individuals with Para-Bombay phenotypes in Guangxi area.

Methods: Serological tests were used to identify the blood groups of red cells. Molecular biological methods, including PCR-SSP for ABO genotyping and DNA sequencing for FUT1, were used to detect the genotypes of ABO and FUT1 which determined the expression of H antigen.

Background: High red cell distribution width (RDW) is correlated with poor prognosis in acute coronary syndromes (ACS), including ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). However, the association of red cell distribution width to erythrocyte count ratio (RER) with STEMI undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) during hospitalization has not been investigated. Therefore, we performed a retrospective study to investigate whether RER is associated with STEMI patients after PCI during hospitalization.

Noni is a dry and mature fruit of Morinda citrifolia, which is widely distributed in the islands in the southern Pacific Ocean and the Indochina Peninsula in Asia. It is edible and has been used as a natural medicine for thousands of years. At present, Noni has been legally introduced into China, but there is no clear standard of traditional Chinese medicine properties and clinical application of traditional Chinese medicine, which greatly limits the application of compatibility with traditional Chinese medicine in China.

Background: The treatment options of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients in active and inactive phases are very different clinically, and the prognosis of patients with active SLE is much worse than inactive patients. However, the present indicators for diagnosis of SLE in activity are limited and inefficient.

Methods: Three hundred thirty patients with SLE were included.

Objective: To analyse the cases of platelet transfusion refractoriness after received HLA-matched unrelated donor hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, to analyze and identify the phenotype and genotype of CD36 in both the patient and stem cell donor, as well as the characteristic of antibody induced platelet transfusion refractoriness, and to analyse the efficacy of matched CD36-deficiency platelets transfusions.

Methods: The CD36 expression on platelet and monocyte was analyzed by flow cytometry (FCM) in both patient and donor. Polymerase chain reaction sequence-based typing (PCR-SBT) was used to analyze the exons sequence of CD36 and HPA.

Objective: To study the inhibitory effect of paeoniflorin (PAE) on TNF-α-induced TNF receptor type I (TNFR1)-mediated signaling pathway in mouse renal arterial endothelial cells (AECs) and to explore its underlying molecular mechanisms.

Methods: Mouse AECs were cultured in vitro and then they were treated by different concentrations PAE or TNF-α for various time periods. Expression levels of intercellular cell adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) were detected in the normal group (cultured by serum-free culture media), the TNF-α group (cultured by 2-h serum-free culture media plus 6-h TNF-α 30 ng/mL), the low dose PAE group (cultured by 2-h PAE 0.

Background: Both total astragalus saponins (AST) and it's main component astragaloside IV (ASIV) have been used in China as cardiovascular protective medicines. However, the anti-inflammatory activities that are beneficial for cardiovascular health have never been compared directly and the molecular mechanisms remain unresolved. This study was conducted to compare the inhibitory effects of these drugs on TNFα-induced cell responses, related signaling pathways, and the underlying mechanisms in mouse arterial endothelial cells.

Objective: To explore the diagnosis and treatment of a case of neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia purpura (NAITP) caused by anti HPA-3a antibody.

Methods: The platelet counts and purpuric symptom in the newborn were clinical examined. The HPA-1-21bw genotypes of the newborn and his parents were detected by multiple DNA-PCR, gene sequencing and genotyping.
