Objective: To determine the efficacy of antibody typing and treatment on live birth rate in Chinese patients with antiphospholipid syndrome (APS)-related recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA).
Methods: A retrospective study analyzed 4542 Chinese patients who experienced spontaneous abortion, of whom 314 had APS (272 primary and 42 secondary). Type of antibodies was tested. Anticoagulant and anti-inflammatory treatments were adopted according to the titer and type of antibodies. The incidence of repeated abortion and placental dysfunction, gestational age, and mean weight of the fetuses were recorded.
Results: Among the patients with APS-related RSA, primary APS accounted for the largest proportion. The proportion of antibody classification was as follows: β2-glycoprotein 1 (β2GP1)-IgM (151, 48.08%), lupus anticoagulant (LAC) (36, 11.46%), anticardiolipin (aCL)-IgM (32, 10.19%), β2GP1-IgM and aCL-IgM (29, 9.23%), and aCL-IgG (16, 5.09%). After treatment, the negative conversion of antibody, including β2GP1-IgM and LAC, significantly improved pregnancy outcomes. There was no significant difference in pregnancy outcomes between the other antibody titers.
Conclusion: The combination of anticoagulant and anti-inflammatory treatment led to a higher live birth rate in the treatment of APS-related RSA, highlighting the potential of antibody typing in providing clinical guidance for the treatment of APS-related RSA.

Background and objective RhD variants show altered D antigen expression, affecting their serological detection. Proper identification is crucial due to potential anti-D antibody formation. This study aimed to retrospectively analyze the frequency and characteristics of D variant cases encountered during RhD typing in both blood donors and recipients and the transfusion implications.

Objective: To investigate the cause of the production of anti-D and anti-E mixed antibody in an RhD positive patient.
Methods: The ABO/Rh blood group typing and irregular antibody specificity were identified by conventional serological methods, the gene exon 1-10 and heterozygous analysis were performed by sequence-specific primer polymerase chain reaction (PCR-SSP), and the whole exon sequence was analyzed by first-generation sequencing.
Results: The patient's Rh blood group was weak D Type33, with the allele was , the patients was found to be heterozygous, with an Rh typing of Ccee, and the patient had developed anti-D combined with anti-E mixed antibodies.

A previously healthy 32-year-old male patient was admitted to hospital with malaise, dyspnea, anemia, thrombocytopenia, and leukopenia. Anemia and thrombocytopenia worsened during the third week. Considering the possible need for transfusion, routine ABO and D typing and an antibody detection test were performed.
