To investigate the relations between morbidity of hemolytic diseases of newborn and ABO antibodies (HDN) in sera of Han and Yao nationality, pregnant women were examined before and after delivery. Antibodies screen, direct antiglobulin test, free antibodies and elution test were all performed. The results indicated that immunologic ABO antibodies of Han people were found in 673 cases out of 1,471 Han pregnant women, and was also found in 28 cases out of 65 Yao pregnant women, and there was no significant difference of incidences between Han and Yao nationality. 31 cases of HDN were found out of 288 newborn in Han and 3 cases of HDN were found out of 25 newborn in Yao, and there was no significant difference between Han and Yao nationalities. The characteristics of HDN in Han nationality were as same as in Yao nationality. In conclusion, the morbidity of HDN in Han and Yao nationalities of Shaoguan area did not showed essential difference, the immunologic ABO antibodies and its titration test, especially, elution test are important for prognosis of HDN.

Objectives: Platelet transfusion refractoriness (PTR) is a frustrating clinical problem, and primary and persistent (P/P) PTR who experienced persistent PTR since the first transfusion was failed to be well recognized. This study aims to investigate the incidence and risk factors for P/P PTR.
Methods: Patients with hematologic disorders who underwent HLA high-resolution genotyping and donor-specific HLA antibody or panel reactive antibody (PRA) testing between January 2019 and March 2023 were reviewed.

Aim: Hypothyroidism is created by disruption of thyroid hormone production, which can destroy the emotional, relational, social, and working life of patients if left untreated. Hypothyroidism has multiple etiologies. We evaluated the relationship of hematological parameters and inflammatory biomarkers with thyroid hormones to find the potential use of these items in patients screening and prognosis.

Naturally occurring human antibodies against glycans recognize and quickly eliminate infectious bacteria, viruses and aberrantly glycosylated neoplastic malignant cells, and they often initiate processes that involve the complement system. Using a printed glycan array (PGA) containing 605 glycoligands (oligo- and polysaccharides, glycopeptides), we examined which of the glycan-binding antibodies are able to activate the complement system. Using this PGA, the specificities of antibodies of the IgM and IgG classes were determined in the blood serum of healthy donors (suggested as mostly natural), and, then, using the same array, it was determined which types of the bound immunoglobulins were also showing C3 deposition.

The Rh blood type has 57 antigens, including D, C, E, c, and e. This blood type is clinically significant, alongside the ABO blood type. The anti-f(ce) antibody is an unexpected antibody that targets an antigen composed of the c and e antigens.

Left untreated, this may lead to stillbirth or neonatal death. HDFN is caused when the pregnant woman's antibodies cross the placenta, enter the baby's circulation, and attach to proteins called antigens (inherited from the father) on the baby's haemoglobin containing red blood cells, and cause them to break apart, causing fetal anaemia.
