输血支持在造血干细胞移植中的应用

背景：接受造血干细胞移植的患者经常需要血液制品输注支持,而患者对红细胞和血小板输注的需求差异非常大,这主要依赖于造血干细胞移植的类型和患者本身的疾病性质。 目的：评价中山大学附属中山医院接受造血干细胞移植患者移植期间输血的需求和数量。 方法：收集中山大学附属中山医院2004-01/2010-06接受造血干细胞移植患者的资料,包括移植的适应证、移植的类型、CD34+细胞的数量、红细胞和血小板的输注数量、费用、脱离输注时间以及中性粒细胞和血小板植入时间;红细胞输注的阈值是血红蛋白计数为70 g/L,而血小板的输注阈值是计数为20×10⁹ L^-1。研究分析了患者移植期间红细胞和血小板输注的需求、输注量、输血费用,以及患者的生存情况。 结果与结论：自体造血干细胞移植组中有14例(93%)患者,而异基因造血干细胞移植组中有35例(90%)患者显示了造血细胞植入和脱离输注证据。自体造血干细胞移植组取得脱离红细胞输注天数为14.6 d,明显短于异基因造血干细胞移植组。与异基因造血干细胞移植组比较,自体造血干细胞移植组红细胞输注单位明显减少;而异基因造血干细胞移植组的红细胞输注费用明显高于自体造血干细胞移植组。输血花费昂贵,但却是造血干细胞移植中必不可少的一部分,异基因造血干细胞移植组需要更多的输血支持。脱离输注时间有望成为评估造血干细胞移植成功的指标。     

混合骨髓移植后过继免疫治疗小鼠白血病

背景：急性白血病自体造血干细胞移植后复发率高,异基因造血干细胞移植后移植相关病死率高,混合造血干细胞移植及移植后过继免疫治疗有可能取长补短,提高疗效。 目的：观察自体骨髓混合H-2半相合异体骨髓移植后供体淋巴细胞输注+白细胞介素2治疗对小鼠白血病的疗效。 方法：将Balb/c小鼠经直线加速器照射3 Gy后分为白血病模型组、白血病模型照射组、混合移植组、自体骨髓移植组,均尾静脉注射5×10⁵ K562(GFP+/NeoR+)或K562(GFP-/NeoR-)细胞。7 d后6 Gy照射,自体骨髓移植组移植自体骨髓细胞或联合白细胞介素2治疗;混合移植组移植小鼠自体骨髓细胞混合1/10的H-2半相合异体骨髓细胞后应用白细胞介素2或联合供体淋巴细胞输注治疗。4周后行小鼠外周血及骨髓细胞形态检查,外周血细胞亚群、GFP及NeoR基因测定,肝、脾匀浆细胞GFP和NeoR基因测定。 结果与结论：白血病模型组小鼠因骨髓造血功能衰竭于20 d内全部死亡,白血病模型照射组小鼠因造血功能衰竭于14 d内全部死亡;自体骨髓移植组、混合移植组均有多少不等小鼠无白血病存活超过28 d,且混合骨髓移植后及自体骨髓移植后应用白细胞介素2治疗可提高白血病小鼠长期无病生存率,在此基础上联合供体淋巴细胞输注可更进一步提高白血病小鼠长期无病生存率。

背景：为了解决造血微环境受损导致造血重建延迟或失败这一常见难题,国内外研究开始尝试外周血干细胞移植联合骨髓间充质干细胞治疗。 目的：探讨自体骨髓间充质干细胞联合外周血干细胞移植治疗非霍奇金淋巴瘤的安全性和疗效。 方法：对2例确诊为非霍奇金淋巴瘤的患者,采用R-CHOP方案(利妥昔单抗、环磷酰胺、长春新碱、泼尼松)化疗5或6个周期。在自体外周血干细胞动员前取自体骨髓培养骨髓间充质干细胞。动员方案为环磷酰胺、粒细胞集落刺激因子或利妥昔单抗、环磷酰胺、粒细胞集落刺激因子。预处理方案为利妥昔单抗、环磷酰胺、足叶乙甙或利妥昔单抗、环磷酰胺、脂质体阿霉素、地塞米松。回输单个核细胞2.98×10⁶/kg,3.84×10⁸/kg,骨髓间充质干细胞为3.8×10⁶/kg,3.96×10⁶/kg。 结果与结论：例1移植后10 d白细胞下降至最低值,为0.1×10⁹ L^-1,中性粒细胞为0×10⁹ L^-1,移植后12 d 血小板下降至最低值45×10⁹ L^-1,外周血象恢复正常时间为移植后15 d。例2移植后白细胞和血小板低谷时间为移植后5 d,外周血象恢复正常时间为移植后9 d。移植相关并发症为急性上呼吸道感染,外痔感染,经过相应处理感染控制。结果说明自体骨髓间充质干细胞联合外周血干细胞移植治疗后造血重建快,肿块或肿大淋巴结消失,近期疗效可,长期疗效有待进一步观察。     

多种来源造血干细胞移植治疗重型再生障碍性贫血

背景：造血干细胞移植是年轻重型再生障碍性贫血患者首选方法,但在中国多数重型再生障碍性贫血患者无合适的供者,单倍体相合或非血缘造血干细胞移植国内外目前还处于探索阶段,联合间充质干细胞移植报道少见。 目的：观察不同干细胞来源造血干细胞移植治疗重型再生障碍性贫血的疗效。 方法：10例(3~52岁)重型再生障碍性贫血患者,分别接受了亲缘HLA相合(2例),单倍体相合(5例),非血缘(3例)的外周血和/或骨髓造血干细胞移植,其中5例患者同时联合了间充质干细胞共移植。预处理方案主要为环磷酰胺、氟达拉滨和抗人胸腺球蛋白,以霉酚酸酯、环孢素A加短疗程的甲氨蝶呤预防移植物抗宿主病,单倍体相合移植的患者在此基础上加马利兰和CD25单克隆抗体;同基因的例5患者预处理方案为抗人胸腺球蛋白+甲基泼尼龙。输注间充质干细胞的量为(0.27~1.85)×10⁶/kg。接受和未接受间充质干细胞组的患者回输的造血干细胞有核细胞分别为(7.4~17.38)×10⁸/kg和(6.09~13.68)×10⁸/kg。 结果与结论：除1例单倍体相合患者移植未成功,+36 d死于并发症外,余患者移植后染色体及DNA指纹检测等说明造血干细胞移植完全供者植入。移植后中性粒细胞达到0.5×10⁹ L^-1,血小板计数≥20×10⁹ L^-1中位时间分别为12 d和13 d;其中造血功能恢复快慢的趋势是同基因移植>外周血或/和骨髓+间充质干细胞移植>单纯外周血或/和骨髓干细胞移植,而亲缘HLA全相合的52岁患者造血恢复最慢。非血缘移植例1、6患者发生了Ⅰ度急性移植物抗宿主病,单倍体相合移植的例2和例10患者发生了Ⅱ度急性移植物抗宿主病后出现了局限性的慢性移植物抗宿主病,余下患者移植后生活质量良好,无慢性移植物抗宿主病;除未接受间充质干细胞的例3患者移植后出现严重感染外,其余患者移植后再未出现严重的感染和出血。结果提示造血干细胞是安全,高效治疗重型再生障碍性贫血的方法,联合应用间充质造血干细胞者患者造血恢复快,移植并发症少。     

异基因造血干细胞移植后的相关并发症及危险因素

背景：有效预防和治疗异基因造血干细胞移植后并发症是提高患者存活率的重要因素。 目的：分析异基因造血干细胞移植后相关并发症的发生和危险因素。 方法：应用文献检索的方法获取异基因造血干细胞移植后相关并发症研究的文献,对符合研究标准的文献进行深入的数据分析,文章选取异基因造血干细胞移植后极易发生的并发症进行分析,如肺部并发症、真菌性败血症、巨细胞病毒感染以及中枢神经系统并发症等。 结果与结论：异基因造血干细胞移植后易出现肺部并发症,而且死亡率较高,肺部并发症的发病机制可能与移植物抗宿主病和巨细胞病毒抗原血症相关。异基因造血干细胞移植后真菌性败血症病原菌以假丝酵母菌属为主,死亡率较高,应二级预防性和早期经验性抗真菌治疗。更昔洛韦、膦甲酸钠对异基因造血干细胞移植后巨细胞病毒感染的治疗有效。中枢神经系统并发症在异基因造血干细胞移植后发生率较低,但在治疗过程也不容忽视。异基因造血干细胞移植后相关并发症的发生与多种危险因素有关,在临床治疗过程中要对相关因素采取预防措施,减少并发症的发生,提高患者的存活率。     

CD34+细胞数对单倍体造血干细胞移植治疗恶性血液病的影响

背景：单倍体造血干细胞移植与较高的植入功能不良相关，因此经常要求更高的CD34⁺细胞数量，但现有研究关于异基因造血干细胞移植CD34⁺细胞剂量和研究终点关系的结论是有争议的。目的：探究CD34⁺细胞数对单倍体造血干细胞移植治疗恶性血液疾病临床结果的影响。方法：纳入2019年1月至2021年12月期间于郑州大学第一附属医院造血干细胞移植中心行单倍体造血干细胞移植的恶性血液病患者，总计135例。结合既往研究结果及移植中心经验，以CD34⁺细胞数5.0×10⁶/kg为截止点，将队列分为2组。评估两组的移植物植入情况、复发率及非复发死亡率、总生存期和无进展生存期等相关临床指标。结果与结论：(1)CD34⁺细胞剂量与血小板的植入相关，高剂量组血小板的植入时间早于低剂量组(14 d vs. 16 d,P=0.013)。(2)两组患者3年总生存期无显著差异(67.5%vs. 53.8%,P=0.257)；两组间的无进展生存期也无显著性差异(65.6%vs. 44.2%,...     

HLA全相合异基因造血干细胞移植与免疫抑制剂治疗重型再生障碍性贫血的比较

背景：国外有报道显示异基因造血干细胞移植和免疫抑制疗法治疗急性重型再生障碍性贫血的有效率及总生存期相当,但两种疗法治疗后的生活质量及治疗费用方面的差异报道较少。 目的：回顾性分析同胞HLA全相合异基因造血干细胞移植与免疫抑制疗法治疗急性重型再生障碍性贫血的疗效。 方法：入选2004-07/2010-10在南京鼓楼医院血液科行同胞HLA全相合异基因造血干细胞移植的7例及行免疫抑制疗法的16例急性重型再生障碍性贫血患者,每3个月定期进行随访。 结果与结论：异基因造血干细胞移植组在粒细胞和血小板恢复时间,脱离输血时间,治疗后3个月总有效率及治疗后12个月完全缓解率均优于免疫抑制疗法组,但治疗后12个月总有效率差异无显著性意义。异基因造血干细胞移植组与免疫抑制疗法组的总生存率分别为86%与81.3%,两组比较差异无显著性意义。治疗1年后两组患者总体健康状况及功能健康状况均提示良好,两组住院费用差异无显著性意义。     

单倍体相合造血干细胞移植治疗儿童重型再生障碍性贫血

背景：目前治疗儿童再生障碍性贫血的主要方法为强化免疫抑制治疗或干细胞移植,后者由于供者来源少而受到限制,HLA单倍体相合的异基因造血干细胞在白血病治疗中常见应用,在再生障碍性贫血治疗中较少应用。目的：探讨单倍体相合的造血干细胞移植联合胎盘来源的间充质干细胞移植治疗重型儿童再生障碍性贫血的疗效。方法：患儿,女,7岁,确诊重型再生障碍性贫血1年半,2012-07-09接受HLA单倍体相合的异基因骨髓及外周血单个核细胞联合胎盘来源间充质干细胞移植,供者为母亲。预处理采用氟达拉滨联合环磷酰胺和抗胸腺细胞球蛋白方案。结果与结论：移植后+9 d中性粒细胞>0.5×10⁹ L^-1,+12 d完成造血重建,+100 d查STR提示植入完成。移植后+8个月停用免疫抑制药物,未发生急、慢性移植物抗宿主病。患儿随访18个月,无病生存。结果表明,HLA单倍体相合的造血干细胞联合胎盘来源间充质细胞移植治疗儿童重型再生障碍性贫血是一种安全有效、值得探索的方法。中国组织工程研究杂志出版内容重点：干细胞;骨髓干细胞;造血干细胞;脂肪干细胞;肿瘤干细胞;胚胎干细胞;脐带脐血干细胞;干细胞诱导;干细胞分化;组织工程全文链接：

Secondary failure of platelet recovery after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

After primary recovery of platelet counts after transplantation, there can be a late persistent decline called secondary failure of platelet recovery (SFPR), which may occur although the counts of other cell lineages remain within the normal range. SFPR was defined as a decline of platelet counts below 20,000/microL for 7 consecutive days or requiring transfusion support after achieving sustained platelet counts > or = 50,000/microL without transfusions for 7 consecutive days after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). The study population consisted of 2871 consecutive patients receiving transplants from January 1990 to March 1997. After primary recovery of platelet counts, SFPR not due to relapse of the underlying disease was observed in 285 of 1401 (20%) patients undergoing allogeneic transplantation and 36 (8%) of 444 patients undergoing autologous transplantation, with a median time of onset after transplantation at day 63 (range, day 21-156) and day 44 (range, day 24-89), respectively. Concomitant neutropenia was seen in 57 (20%) of 285 patients undergoing allogeneic HSCT and 7 (19%) of 36 patients undergoing autologous HSCT with SFPR. By multivariable analysis, the following were factors significantly associated with SFPR after allogeneic HSCT: a transplant from an unrelated donor; a graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis other than methotrexate and cyclosporine; development of grade 2 through 4 acute GVHD; impaired renal or liver function; conditioning with the combination of busulfan, cyclophosphamide, and total body irradiation; stem cell dose; and infections. Cytomegalovirus infection after engraftment and source of stem cells were the only significant risk factors after autologous HSCT. The hazard rate of death was significantly higher in patients who experienced SFPR (hazard ratio = 2.6 for allogeneic HSCT; hazard ratio = 2.2 for autologous HSCT). SFPR was associated with serious complications and poor outcome after transplantation. The identification of the characteristics and risk factors for SFPR could improve patient counseling and management and lead to the design of effective treatment strategies.     

The problem of thrombocytopenia after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation

Thrombocytopenia after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is associated with an increased risk of bleeding and utilization of significant resources. This review presents an analysis of risk factors associated with delayed platelet engraftment. The retrospective analysis included 1,468 recipients of autologous or allogeneic transplants treated between January 1, 1990 and July 1, 1995. Risk factors associated with delayed platelet engraftment after autologous HSCT included use of marrow rather than peripheral blood as the source of stem cells, being transplanted for acute myeloid leukemia rather than other diseases, positive patient serology for cytomegalovirus and the presence of infection post-transplant before engraftment. Risk factors associated with delayed platelet engraftment after allogeneic marrow transplantation included unrelated as opposed to related donor transplants, being transplanted for diseases other than chronic myelogenous leukemia, increased age, onset of acute graft-versus-host disease (AGVHD), male gender, the administration of methotrexate for GVHD prophylaxis and the presence of infection before engraftment. Delayed platelet recovery is associated with decreased survival after both autologous and allogeneic transplants. Management of delayed platelet recovery by transfusion of blood products requires significant medical resources and is of some risk to the patients. Further development of new strategies may safely reduce the need for blood products. These include peripheral blood stem cell transplants (allogeneic and autologous), new algorithms for administering routine platelet transfusions and investigative biological agents for stimulating megakaryocytopoiesis. Further studies may elucidate the cause of increased platelet consumption associated with infection and GVHD.     

Does intraoperative transfusion during total knee arthroplasty reduce the need for transfusion after surgery?: A preliminary retrospective cohort study

ObjectivesAfter total knee arthroplasty (TKA), many patients experience anemia due to blood loss. To prevent postoperative anemia and allogeneic blood transfusion after TKA, we used prophylactic allogeneic or autologous blood transfusion intraoperatively. This study evaluated the effects of prophylactic transfusion during TKA.Materials and methodsThis retrospective cohort study included 579 patients receiving scheduled unilateral TKA. We allocated the patients into three groups, the prophylactic allogeneic transfusion (Group AL), prophylactic autologous transfusion (Group AT), and no prophylactic transfusion with intra-articular tranexamic acid administration (Group C) groups. After propensity score matching, we compared the rate of postoperative allogeneic blood transfusions until three days after TKA, postoperative hemoglobin and hematocrit levels until four days after TKA, and the side effects in each groups.ResultsThe postoperative allogeneic blood transfusion rates were statistically higher in group AL and AT than in group C (18.2% and, 18.9% vs 2.3%, respectively; P < 0.000). The postoperative hemoglobin and hematocrit levels were statistically lower in group Auto than in group C (P < 0.0001), but the levels in group AL were not different from those of group C (P = 0.493 vs. P = 0.384 respectively). In addition, the side effects were statistically higher in group AL and AT than in group C.ConclusionProphylactic intra-operative transfusions did not reduce the rates of allogeneic transfusions and produced more side effects and hypotension after surgery than intra-articular tranexamic acid administration with no prophylactic transfusion in patients undergoing TKAs.     

Cytomegalovirus infection in paediatric haemopoietic stem cell transplantation

A retrospective audit of CMV infection was undertaken to determine prevalence and outcome in the national paediatric Haemopoietic Stem Cell Transplant (HSCT) unit, with particular reference to surveillance and treatment. All patients undergoing HSCT (125 allogeneic, 50 autologous) from January 1994 to December 2004 were included. Nine underwent a second transplant for graft failure or disease recurrence. Of 134 allogeneic transplants performed, 62 were unrelated. Shell vial cultures of throat swabs and urine, and blood samples for pp65 antigenemia +/- PCR were tested weekly for a mean of 147 days post transplant. CMV negative blood products and filters were used in all. 11 rec+/donor-, 12rec-/donor+ and 10rec+/donor+ transplants were performed. All received prophylactic acyclovir, IVIG was prescribed for all but CMV -/- transplants. Initial detection of CMV was urine in 5 cases, four of whom developed antigenemia. Of ten patients who developed antigenemia, nine were treated with ganciclovir +/- foscarnet and two of these patients developed CMV pneumonitis and died. The current policy of strict surveillance, matching donor and recipient CMV status, use of CMV negative blood products and filters and pre-emptive therapy appears to be effective in controlling CMV disease/infection in the peritransplant period.     

Autologous blood predonation in cardiac surgery

The risk of transfusion of allogeneic blood products on outcome is well documented. Autologous blood donation prior to elective cardiac surgery has repeatedly shown to be an effective practice to reduce the exposure to allogeneic blood, but was criticized because of the alleged high costs. We analyzed the data of 4878 patients undergoing elective open-heart surgery, in whom 18% underwent autologous donation. Overall, autologous blood donation reduced the incidence of allogeneic blood transfusion from 48 to 13% during hospitalization. Additionally, it is shown that diagnosis adjusted autologous blood donation is cost-effective. The higher the probability of transfusion the better is efficacy and cost-effectiveness of predonation. Cardiac surgery is a high-transfusion area, thus, it offers ideal conditions for autologous donation. Autologous blood donation still remains a promising and cost-effective alternative to reduce allogeneic blood transfusion in elective cardiac surgery.     

A prospective randomized trial of prophylactic platelet transfusion and bleeding incidence in hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients: 10,000/L versus 20,000/microL trigger.

An optimal platelet-count threshold for prophylactic platelet transfusion in hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) recipients has yet to be determined. Between July 1997 and December 1999, we performed the first prospective randomized clinical trial addressing this issue in 159 HSCT recipients who received a prophylactic platelet transfusion when the morning platelet count fell below a 10,000/microL (10K) or 20,000/microL (20K) threshold. Subsequent prophylactic transfusions were administered according to a predetermined algorithm. The number of prophylactic and therapeutic transfusions and the incidence of minor and major bleeding were compared between the 2 groups. The groups were matched according to patient and transplantation characteristics. There were no significant differences in bleeding incidence or severity. Fourteen percent of patients in the 10K arm compared to 17% in the 20K arm had major bleeding events. Only 3 central nervous system bleeds occurred, 2 in the 10K group and 1 in the 20K group. No deaths were attributed to bleeding. An average of 11.4 days of bleeding occurred in both groups. An average of 10.4 platelet transfusions per patient were administered in the 10K group compared to 10.2 in the 20K group (P = .94). More transfusions were given above the assigned transfusion threshold in the 10K group than in the 20K group (4.3/patient versus 1.9/patient, respectively, P = .05). Safety measures incorporated into our study may have precluded demonstration of significant differences in platelet use between the groups. In conclusion, a platelet transfusion trigger of 10K was found to be safe; however, a decrease in platelet use was not achieved because of safety measures incorporated into our study design.     

Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant for Pediatric Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia

The optimal form of treatment for children with relapsed or refractory acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is unclear. We retrospectively analyzed the results of 32 (11 autologous, 21 allogeneic) hematopoietic stem cell transplants (HSCT) performed for children originally treated on either the Eastern Cooperative Group E2491 Trial or the Cancer and Leukemia Group B C9710 Trial and subsequently diagnosed with relapsed or refractory APL. For autologous HSCT, the incidence of treatment-related mortality (TRM) and relapse was 0% (95% confidence interval [CI], 0%-30%) and 27% (95% CI, 9%-57%), respectively. The 5-year event-free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS) following autologous HSCT was 73% (95% CI, 43%-91%) and 82% (95% CI, 51%-96%), respectively. For allogeneic HSCT, the incidence of TRM and relapse was 19% (95% CI, 7%-41%) and 10% (95% CI, 2%-30%), respectively. The 5-year EFS and OS following allogeneic HSCT was 71% (95% CI, 50%-86%) and 76% (95% CI, 55%-90%), respectively. There was no significant difference in EFS or OS between autologous and allogeneic HSCT. This data demonstrates that autologous and allogeneic HSCT are both effective therapies for treatment of children with relapsed or refractory APL. Autologous HSCT is associated with a low incidence of TRM, whereas allogeneic HSCT is associated with a low incidence of relapse, suggesting a strong GVL effect against residual APL.     

Risk Factors and Predictive Scoring System For Post-Transplant Lymphoproliferative Disorder after Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation

We analyzed data from 64,539 consecutive patients in the Japanese national transplant registry, including 40,195 after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), 24,215 after autologous HSCT and 129 after syngeneic HSCT, of whom 299 developed Epstein-Barr virus-positive post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD). The probability of developing PTLD at 2 years post-HSCT was .79% after allogeneic transplantation, .78% after syngeneic transplantation, and .11% after autologous transplantation. The following variables were identified as risk factors after allogeneic HSCT in multivariate analysis: antithymocyte globulin (ATG) use in a conditioning regimen, ATG use for acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) treatment, donor other than an HLA-matched related donor, aplastic anemia, second or subsequent allogeneic HSCT, the most recent year of transplantation, and acute GVHD. The probability at 2 years increased particularly after 2009 (1.24%) than before 2009 (.45%). To stratify the risk of PTLD before allogeneic HSCT, we developed a novel 5-point scoring system based on 3 pretransplant risk factors: ATG use in a conditioning regimen (high dose, 2 points; low dose, 1 point), donor type (HLA-mismatched related donor, 1 point; unrelated donor, 1 point; cord blood, 2 points), and aplastic anemia (1 point). Patients were classified into 4 risk groups according to the summed points: low risk (0 or 1 point), intermediate risk (2 points), high risk (3 points), and very high risk (4 or 5 points) groups, with probabilities at 2 years of .3%, 1.3%, 4.6%, and 11.5%, respectively. Our scoring system is useful for predicting patients at high risk for PTLD. Careful observation and close monitoring of Epstein-Barr virus reactivation are warranted for these high-risk patients.     

人工全髋关节置换后自体血回输的安全及有效性评价

BACKGROUND: Autologous blood transfusion device has been widely used in the clinic, reduces allogeneic blood transfusion, and avoids the occurrence of blood transfusion complications, and effectively improves the patient’s blood safety, but the application of autologous blood transfusion after total hip arthroplasty has been seldom reported. OBJECTIVE: To discuss the safety and effectiveness of autologous blood transfusion after total hip arthroplasty. METHODS: 200 patients were treated by primary unilateral total hip arthroplasty from March 2013 to March 2015. They were randomly divided into two groups. 127 patients in the autologous blood transfusion group received  autologous blood transfusion by a drainage tube. 73 patients in the negative pressure drainage ball group received a negative pressure drainage tube. The standard for allogeneic blood transfusion after replacement was hemoglobin < 80 g/L. The changes in hemoglobin were compared before and 1 and 7 days after replacement between the two groups. Total drainage volume and allogeneic blood transfusion were compared within 6 hours after replacement between the two groups.  RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: There were no statistical differences in hemoglobin levels at 7 days before and after replacement, in drainage volume within 6 hours and the total drainage volume between the two groups (P > 0.05). Hemoglobin levels were significantly higher in the autologous blood transfusion group than in the negative pressure drainage ball group at 1 day after replacement (P < 0.05). In the autologous blood transfusion group, autologous blood transfusion volume was averagely 324.2 mL. Allogeneic blood transfusion volume was averagely 146.7 mL in 31 patients. No reaction was found after autologous blood transfusion. In the negative pressure drainage ball group, 49 patients received allogeneic blood transfusion (averagely 261 mL). The volume and proportion of allogeneic blood transfusion were significantly lower in the autologous blood transfusion group than in the negative pressure drainage ball group (P < 0.05). Among patients receiving allogeneic blood transfusion, seven patients affected pyrogenetic reaction during blood transfusion. These findings suggested that autologous blood transfusion is simple and effective, can effectively reduce the volume and reaction of allogeneic blood transfusion after total hip arthroplasty and avoid blood-borne diseases, with good prospects.
