This study was designed to provide the base of nursing intervention that could help apheresis blood-donors to promote self-efficacy effectively by analyzing critical factors that influence on this. The subjects recruited for the research were 468 persons who participated in platelet donation at a university hospital apheresis unit in Seoul. The data for this study were collected between May and June, 2002 using questionnaires. Data were analyzed by t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe test, and stepwise multiple regression. The results were as follows. 1. The mean self-efficacy score on the questions related to blood donation was $32.9\pm5.1$, indicating that blood donors have above the mean level of self-efficacy related to blood donation. 2. The self-efficacy score was significantly higher for the group of persons who have more than 5 times of experiences in blood donation than others who have only one experience. 3. The critical factors that influence self-efficacy related to donation were the marital status, educational level. and previous experiences of whole blood donation, while the critical factor that influence on general self-efficacy was previous experiences of whole blood donation. Therefore, it is necessary to establish more effective and organized nursing intervention strategies that can promote the self-efficacy of apheresis blood-donors.

Thorough screening of donors medical and social history, extensive serological and bacterial screening combined with developed processing and sterilization methods have improved the safety of the allogeneic tissues in recent decades. The risk of bacterial infection through allogenic tissue transplantation is one of the major problems facing tissue banks. The purpose study is to report the contamination rate in 358 retrieved tissues obtained strictly aseptic conditions, between 2001 and 2002 in Korea Tissue Bank. Samples from 9 donors(total 13 donors) were used in blood culture, and in 7 donors the blood culture were negative. Of the 358 tissues cultured in their entirety, 186(52%) were initially culture negative and 177(48%) were positive. Organism low pathogenicity were cultures from 20.2% of the tissues. To minimize the bacterial load, donors should be obtain in operating rooms, using aseptic techniques with only a few personnel for procurement. The procurement cultures from donors and retrieved tissues with multiple should be carefully interpreted. Blood cultures should be taken account, since these can help to find contamination not detect swab culture. A prospective cohort study is needed to determine which of the varied processing and sterilization methodologies gives the best quality.

This study was designed to provide basic strategies of nursing intervention in order to keep and obtain healthy, responsible and regular donors by investigating and analyzing relationships of health promotion behavior. self-efficacy and self-esteem of blood-donors. The subjects collected for the research were four hundred and sixty-eight individuals who participated in platelet donation at a university hospital apheresis unit in Seoul. The data for this study were collected between May and June, 2002 using questionnaires. The results were as follows. 1. The proportion of subjects who have not had previous experience of whole blood-donation was $13.7\%$, while the proportion of subjects who have had two times previous experiences was $16.2\%$ and over five times was $30.6\%$. 2. Mean score of health promotion behavior was 2.7 (range 1-4), self-efficacy was 3.8 (range 1-5) and self-esteem was 3.3 (range 1-4), which showed higher than middle. 3. There was positive significant relationship between the number of blood-donation and health promotion behavior as well as the number of blood donation and self-efficacy. 4. Positive significant relationship existed between the number of whole blood-donation and the number of apheresis blood-donation. Therefore, to increase recurrence of blood-donation. it is necessary to establish more effective and organized nursing intervention strategies that can promote the health promotion behavior, self-efficacy and self-esteem of blood-donors.

배경: HBsAg 검사에서 양성 또는 grey zone 결과를 보여 헌혈이 보류된 헌혈자가 이후 헌혈을 하기 원할 경우, 헌혈 보류 해제 검사에서 적합한 결과를 얻어야 한다. 그러나 헌혈 보류 해제 검사대상이 된 헌혈자의 약 절반이 해제 불가 결과를 보였다. 본 연구에서는 HBsAg 검사의 S/Co값과 헌혈 보류 해제 검사의 최종 결과의 연관성을 조사하였다. 방법: 대한적십자사 혈액정보관리시스템에 저장된 데이터베이스를 활용하여 2008년 1월부터 2017년 12월까지 3,947명의 헌혈자에 대한 HBsAg의 S/Co 값과 헌혈 보류 해제 검사 최종 결과를 분석하였다. 결과: 3,947명의 헌혈유보군 중 1,764명(44.8%)의 헌혈자가 해제 불가 결과를 보였다. HBsAg S/Co 값이 10 이상의 결과를 보인 1,585명의 헌혈자 중 1,542명(97.3%)은 해제 불가 결과를 보였다. 첫 헌혈 보류 해제 검사에서 해제 불가 결과를 보인 120명의 헌혈자에 대해서는 이후 추가적인 헌혈 보류 해제 검사가 실시되었으며, 98명(81.7%)은 여전히 해제 불가 결과를 보였다. HBsAg 검사에서 grey zone 결과를 보인 헌혈자에서는 4.6%가 해제 불가 결과를 보였다. 결론: HBsAg 선별검사에서 S/Co 값이 10이상을 보인 헌혈유보군에 대해서는 헌혈 보류 해제 검사를 제한하는 것이 효율적일 것으로 판단되었다. HBV 관련 혈액안전성의 강화를 위해 현행 HBsAg 검사에서의 grey zone 포함 적용을 지속할 필요가 있다고 판단되었다.

Background: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is an important cause of liver cancer in Thailand. The highest prevalence of anti-HCV positive among Thai blood donors is found in the northeastern region. The present analysis of the genotype distribution among anti-HCV positive northeastern-Thai blood donors was conducted to provide a base for the epidemiological pattern of HCV infection in this region. Materials and Methods: A total of 112 HCV seropositive healthy blood donors were randomly selected and tested for the presence of HCV-RNA by RT-PCR. HCV-RNA positive samples were genotyped by direct sequencing at core region genomes and confirmed by phylogenetic analysis. Results: HCV viremia was found in 94.6% (106/112) of HCV seropositive blood donors. There were 3 major genotypes distributed among this population. HCV genotype 3a was the most prevalent (71.7%) followed by genotypes 1a (7.5%), 1b (7.5%), 6i (3.8%), 6f (2.8%) and 6n (1.9%). Conclusions: HCV genotype 3a in asymptomatic infections in northeastern Thailand is significantly higher than other previous reports. Subgenotype 6 prevalence is less than in neighboring countries and distribution patterns differ. The findings are relevant as predictors for using interferon therapy in this population.

This study was designed to provide a base for nursing intervention to help apheresis blood-donors to perform health promotion behavior effectively by surveying their health promotion behavior and by analyzing the critical factors. The study subjects were 468 participants in platelet donation at a university hospital apheresis unit in Seoul. The data for this study were collected between May and June. 2002. by questionnaire. Data were analyzed by t-test, ANOVA. Scheffe test, Pearson correlation coefficient. and stepwise multiple regression. The results were as follows. 1. The degree of performance of health promotion behavior of the subjects was a total average score of $152.9\pm21.5$ points and a mean score of 2.7 points. The highest score was 'I have a good relationship with others' in the factor of self-actualization and interpersonal support. The lowest score was 'I have my blood pressure checked regularly' in the factor of health responsibility. 2. Considering the classification according to the subjects' general characteristics. the health promotion behavior score was significantly higher for soldiers than high school students, for religious believers than atheists. and for high class economic status than mid and low class economic status. Also the health promotion behavior score was higher for those who had made more than five blood donations than those who had made zero or one donation. and for those who had made more than four blood donations than for those who had made less than four blood donations in the previous times of apheresis blood donation. The score was also higher for those not having a relationship with recipient than those having a relationship. 3. The self-efficacy related to donation. general self-efficacy and self-esteem had a significant correlation with the performance in health promotion behavior. 4. The critical factors that influenced the health promotion behavior were explained by $35.6\%$ of the general self-efficacy and by $40.2\%$ of the total of self-efficacy related to donation, and previous times of apheresis blood donation. The health promotion behavior score of apheresis blood-donors differed according to job, religion, economic status, previous times of whole blood donation, previous times of apheresis blood donation, and relationship with recipient. The health promotion behavior and self-efficacy related to donation, general self-efficacy, and self-esteem showed significant positive correlation with one another. The general self-efficacy, self-efficacy related to donation, and previous times of apheresis blood donation appeared to be the significant predictive factors of health promotion behavior. Therefore, from these study results, it is necessary to establish more effective and organized nursing intervention strategies for the health promotion behavior of apheresis blood-donors.

One of the goals of tumor immunotherapy is to generate immune cells with potent anti-tumor activity through in vitro techniques using peripheral blood collected from patients. However, cancer patients generally have poor immunological function. Thus using patient T cells, which have reduced in vitro proliferative capabilities and less tumor cell killing activity to generate lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) cells, fails to achieve optimal clinical efficacy. Interleukin-2 (IL-2) is a potent activating cytokine for both T cells and natural killer cells. Thus, this study aimed to identify optimal donors for allogeneic LAK cell immunotherapy based on single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in the IL-2 and IL-2R genes. IL-2 and IL-2R SNPs were analyzed using HRM-PCR. LAK cells were derived from peripheral blood mononuclear cells by culturing with IL-2. The frequency and tumor-killing activity of LAK cells in each group were analyzed by flow cytometry and tumor cell killing assays, respectively. Regarding polymorphisms at IL-2-330 (rs2069762) T/G, LAK cells from GG donors had significantly greater proliferation, tumor-killing activity, and IFN-${\gamma}$ production than LAK cells from TT donors (P<0.05). Regarding polymorphisms at IL-2R rs2104286 A/G, LAK cell proliferation and tumor cell killing were significantly greater in LAK cells from AA donors than GG donors (P<0.05). These data suggest that either IL-2-330(rs2069762)T/G GG donors or IL-2R rs2104286 A/G AA donors are excellent candidates for allogeneic LAK cell immunotherapy.

Hepatitis C is an ailment of liver caused by hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. About 3% of the world population is infected by this virus. HCV infection is a leading reason for liver cirrhosis and therefore a major source of hepatocellular carcinoma. The study focused on the incidence of active HCV infection in blood donors of Mardan district of KPK, Pakistan. A total of 5318 blood donors were inspected for the presence of anti-HCV antibodies and HCV-RNA using ICT (immune-chromatographic test), ELISA and RT-PCR at Mardan Medical Complex (MMC), Mardan. Out of these, 157 (2.95%) were positive by ICT, 60 (1.12%) by ELISA and 56 (1.05%) for HCV-RNA. The frequency of active HCV infectivity amongst the blood donors from district Mardan, KPK Pakistan was 1.05 %. Application of strict measures during blood donor selection and use of proper screening assays such as ELISA in place of ICT devices can give a more accurate picture so that the incidence of this viral infection in HCV negative blood recipients can be reduced.

순환계는 혈액의 흐름이 원활하게 되도록 그 해부학적 구조와 혈류의 물리학적 특성이 연결되어있다. 혈액의 흐름에 영향을 주는 혈액의 물리학적 특성을 혈유변학적 인자(Hemorheologic factors)라 하며, 혈액의 점도(blood viscosity) 및 적혈구 응집도(erythrocyte aggregation)와 같은 혈유변학적 특성은 헤마토크리트(hematocrit; Hct)와 밀접한 관계를 가진다. 헤마토크리트가 높을수록 혈액 점도가 증가하고 적혈구 응집도는 증가하며 순환을 저해하고 조직에 산소 전달 능력을 방해한다. 혈청 페리틴은 과도하게 있을 경우 산화유리기(oxygen free radial)를 통하여 혈관 내피세포(vascular endothelial cell)와 혈구 세포(blood cell)에 산화 손상을 유발하여 심혈관계 손상을 유발한다. 이러한 기전을 근거로 사혈 혹은 헌혈을 심혈관계 질환의 예방 및 치료에 응용하려는 시도가 오랫동안 있었다. 사혈은 의학에 있어 오랜 역사를 가지면서 특히 한방의 치료적 개념으로 최근까지도 사용되고 있으나 그 과학적 근거가 불충분하고 아직까지 논란의 여지도 있어 근거 중심의 의학을 근간으로 하는 의학에서는 도외시되어왔다. 하지만 혈액량이 증가하면 혈유변학적 인자들(hemorheological factors) 역시 악화되면서 대 순환에서 동맥경화의 발생 및 진행에 영향을 주고, 모세순환(microcirculation)을 악화시키는 것으로 알려져 있으며 심뇌혈관 사건에 영향을 주는 것으로 보고되고 있다. 정기적인 헌혈자(regular blood donors)에게 혈유변학적 인자들을 저명하게 호전시키고 과도한 철분의 함량을 줄여서 산화유리기에 의한 혈구 및 내피세포의 산화 손상을 줄임으로써, 순환계내에서 혈액순환을 촉진시킬 수 있다는 증거들이 보고되고 있다. 헌혈의 효과가 심혈관계 질환에 이익이 된다는 확고한 장기적 코호트 연구결과가 도출된다면 절대적으로 헌혈 혈액량이 부족한 현실과 심혈관계 질환의 예후를 호전시킬 수 있다는 측면에서 중요한 역할을 할 수 있다고 생각된다.
