There could be different targeted cells of human for gene therapy of HA. To solve some questions of hepatocyte-targeted gene therapy, platelet-targeted gene therapy with the FⅧ expression restricted in platelets has been developed in recent years. Platelet-targeted gene therapy strategy has been developed, in which FⅧ expression is driven by various platelet-specific promoters such as platelet glycoprotein alpha Ⅱb promoter, glycoprotein Ⅰb promoter and platelet factor-4 promoter. This gene therapy strategy has been proved to have advantages in many ways. Firstly, a substantial amount of FⅧ had potent effects to promote hemostasis and activate coagulation, which were accumulated at the sites of injury or bleeding. Then, FⅧ is stored in the alpha-granules of platelets, which greatly reduces the exposure time of FⅧ in the blood circulation, reduces the production of autoantibodies and the opportunity for FⅧ and autoantibodies.

By retrospective analysis, the clinical data of this patient were collected, and the clinical manifestations, diagnosis and treatment process were analyzed. Induction chemotherapy of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) combined with arsenic trioxide (ATO) was used to treat APL: ATRA 20 mg/time, twice a day, oral, d1-28; ATO 10 mL/d, intravenous injection, d1-14. The RAS treatment regimen was to reduce or discontinue ATRA or ATO, and intravenous injected dexamethasone 10 mg/time, twice a day as soon as possible until hypoxemia is relieved. When patient′s white blood cell count (WBC)>10×109/L and continuously elevated, anthracycline or cytarabine was administrated as appropriate.

Among them, there were 921 male donors and 386 females, aged 18-55 years. Serological testing method was used to confirm RhD negative of 1 307 blood donors with RhD negative of primary screening. Anti-D blood grouping reagents from 3 different manufacturers and direct antiglobulin test were performed for serological tests. Blood donors who were confirmed RhD negative by serological test were classified for Rh blood group phenotype, and the phenotype frequency of each RhCcEe and their haplotype frequencies were calculated. From September 2015 to March 2016, a total of 116 blood donors with RhD negative of primary screening were selected for RHD gene detection. PCR-sequence-specific primer (SSP) method and human erythrocyte RHD genotyping kit were used for RHD gene detection. And the gene polymorphism of RHD gene was analyzed. The frequencies of Rh blood group phenotypes and haplotypes were calculated by square root method. The test for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium of the phenotype frequency distribution of Rh blood group phenotypes were conducted by chi-square test.
