【medical-news】Blood type switch
O-type blood can be transfused safely into humans of any blood-type without medical risk - the problem is that it's not always readily available for those who desperately need blood. Now an international team of scientists believe they have found a way to convert A, B and AB blood types into O-type, making it safe to use in transfusions. Professor Martin Olsson of Lund University Hospital in Sweden is one of the report's authors.
PROFESSOR OLSSON: That's what we're looking at - to get a unified blood supply that is not fragmented due to the different groups. The dream scenario as I see it is that all those blood units drawn from blood donors would be converted if they're not group-O from the start, so to speak. That is approximately half of all blood units.
Professor Olssen says the conversion technique would be cost-effective and would take about an hour at room temperatures. The process promises not only to increase the stock of blood available for transfusions but could also prevent the accidental transfusion of the wrong blood group into patients. Early-stage clinical trials are now underway. 本人认领此文。如在48小时内未能提交译文，其他战友可自由认领。 Scientists have discovered a way by which they can convert A, B and AB-type blood groups into O-type blood. The technique could lead to a dramatic increase in the worldwide stocks of blood available for transfusion. This report from Neil Bowdler:
科学家已经发现一个方法，以此他们能够将A型、B型以及AB型血转化成O型血。该技术可能导致全球范围内输血用库存血液的急剧增加。Neil Bowdler报道。

O型血能够被安全的输入到任何血型的病人而没有医疗危险——问题在于它对那些急需输血的病人未必有立即可用的。现在一个国际的科学家团队认为他们已经找到了一个将A型、B型以及AB型血转化成O型血的方法，使它能够安全的应用到输血中。瑞典隆德大学医学院的Martin Olsson教授是该报道的作者之一。

Olssen 教授：这正是我们将看到的——得到一个统一的血液供应，并不由群体的不同而出现割裂。梦想的情节正像我看到的，所有这些来自血液捐献者的血液单位将被转变，如果他们不是来自O型捐献者。这是大约一半的血液单位。

Olssen教授说这种转换技术是划算的，将在室温下花费大约一小时。这种处理前途不仅增加了输血用血液的储存量，而且同样避免了为病人输错血型的事故的发生。早期临床试验正在同时进行。
