一 | 七夕已至，亚特大陆的浪漫氛围也拉到了最满。 Breakthrough new research could significantly increase supply of organs for people with rarer blood types waiting for a transplant, reported The Guardian.,A team of scientists from the University of Cambridge have successfully altered the blood type of three donor kidneys. By flushing blood infused with a special enzyme through a human kidney the scientists removed the blood type markers lining the blood vessels of the organ.,The procedure required using a device that is connected with a donor’s kidney to pass oxygenated blood through it - a normothermic perfusion machine. As a result, the organ was converted to type O, considered the universal donor.,Blood Group Compatible,As the blood type of a donor must be compatible with the recipient’s, the new development could increase the supply of kidneys available for transplant.,A kidney from someone with blood type A cannot be transplanted to someone with blood type B, or visa versa. In such a case, the receiving body’s immune system would reject the new organ, interpreting the different blood type as foreign.,So changing the blood type to the universal O would mean the donor organ could be used for people with any blood type.,“Our confidence was really boosted after we applied the enzyme to a piece of human kidney tissue and saw very quickly that the antigens were removed. After this, we knew that the process is feasible, and we just had to scale up the project to apply the enzyme to full-size human kidneys,” Serena MacMillan, a PhD student at the University of Cambridge, said.,Scientists involved in the research, funded by charity Kidney Research UK and due to be published in the British Journal of Surgery, clarified that the outcome might have particular implications for minority ethnic groups.,Science & TechGood News for ABs: Scientists Can Now Change People's Blood Type21 February, 16:34 GMT,Some blood groups such as O Rh positive and B Rh positive are more prevalent among black, Asian and minority ethnic communities. To complicate matters further, some rare blood types are only found within the black, Asian and minority ethnic communities,This typically places them at a disadvantage, as they struggle to find a match. With low donation rates from these populations, stressed the researchers, sometimes such patients wait for as long as over a year for a compatible donor. They cited figures from 2020-21 showing that just over 9% of total organ donations in the UK came from black and minority ethnic donors. On the other hand, black and minority ethnic patients make up 33% of the kidney transplant waiting list.,“It’s very exciting to think about how this could potentially impact so many lives,” added Serena MacMillan.,The “potentially gamechanging” research was applauded by Dr Aisling McMahon, the executive director of research at Kidney Research UK.,The scientists will now test the reintroduction of other blood types and observe how the novel approach in clinical settings.。而在七夕活动之外，今天（8月21日）还有一件大事——《魔域口袋版》全新启世服已于今日10:00正式火爆开启！创角即享“破解级”毕业福利，首日冲击千战，开服即巅峰。加上七夕多重活动同步上线，福利多到让人眼花缭乱。今天这篇就来帮大家把启世服免费福利和七夕必做任务一次捋清楚，千万别让到手的奖励溜走！启世服：创角即毕业，免费福利拿到手软玩新服最怕什么？等级落后、追不上大部队、刷主线刷到吐。启世服直接把这些痛点一刀切掉。等级直升：创建角色即可一键直升135级+神等级30级，主线、支线、引导任务全部可跳过。选择跳过主线后，所有任务奖励都会通过“主线直升箱”完整保留，福利一分不少。幻兽全送：创角即送本职业本源（60星）+双蛇年兽主宠「小青」「小白」（各70星，140级，神25级）+辅助宠「竹林行者滚滚」（60星，130级，神25级）。据官方测评数据，将原有年兽替换为蛇年兽后，打桩伤害整整提升50%。双蛇主宠加熊猫辅助，战力直接起飞。装备神火一步到位：本职业4阶神器武器、衣服自选各一件，自带2洞；神火套装造物之烬一套（1~8号位），全部+30；赠送神兽合精，使用后可直接获得出征第二只幻兽的能力。
