Objective　 This paper was designed to investigate the feasibility of non-invasive prenetal diagnosis of Duchenne muscular dystrophy(DMD). Methods　 The nucleated red blood cells(NRBC) were separated with percoll using a discontinuous density gradient method. The cells were smeared on microscope slides using a cyto-centrifuge and then stained by Wright-Giemsa. NRBCs were detected and individually retrieved into glass capillary pipettes using a micromanipulator under microscopic observation. The whole genome of a single cell was amplified by improved primer extension preamplification(PEP). The procedures for making prenatal diagnosis of DMD and determining the origin of NRBCs proceeded at the same time using sex determination and linkage analysis of several STR loci of dystrophin. Genotypes were analyzed by amplifying the 9 STR fragments using fluorescence-PCR technique and NRBCs origin was further determined. Results　 A case of DMD in male fetus was diagnosed. Conclusion　 With the use of the method reported, the non-invasive prenatal diagnosis of DMD is possible.

【Objective】 To study the effect of changes in red blood cell parameters and blood donation interval on ferritin level in platelet donors with ferritin deficiency, so as to provide experimental evidence for formulating targeted blood donor care strategies. 【Methods】 100 regular male platelet apheresis donors in April 2020 were selected to test the ferritin and red blood cell parameters. Blood donors were classified according to the annual blood donation numbers: 3~10, 11~15, and 16~24, and the difference of iron deficiency rate among groups was analyzed. They also were classified according to the detection value of ferritin: iron deficiency donors versus SF normal donors, and the changes of Hb, MCV, MCH and MCHC values of them were compared. The iron deficiency donors were stratified by donation time: January to March 2019, April to June 2019, July to September 2019, October to December 2019 and January to April 2020, so as to compare the changes of Hb, MCV and MCH values among each group. The iron deficiency donors, continued the donation afterwards, were divided into interval-extended donors (minimum donation interval of 30 days) and normal ones (minimum donation interval of 14 days), and blood donation from May to December 2020 was intervened and observed. In December 2020, serum ferritin was tested again for iron deficiency donors to analyze the changes in SF between two groups. 【Results】 The incidence of iron deficiency in three groups with different donation frequency was 7.5%, 22.5% and 40.0%, respectively(P<0.05). The Hb(g/L) (144.15±9.37 vs 151.72±8.81), MCV(fl)( 87.21±4.02 vs 89.38±2.96), MCH(pg)(29.91±2.13 vs 31.01± 1.25), and MCHC (g/L)(345.85±9.08 vs 346.48±9.18) of iron deficiency donors were significantly lower than those of SF normal ones(P<0.05). The paired-comparison of Hb of iron deficiency donors was not statistically different by donation periods, except for January-April 2020 versus January-March 2019(P<0.05). MCV mean values were statistically different by donation periods, especially January-April 2020 versus January-March/April-June/July-September 2019 and October-December 2019 versus January-March 2019(P<0.05). MCH mean values were statistically different by donation periods, especially January-April 2020 versus January-March/ April-June and October-December 2019 versus January-March 2019(P<0.05). The pre-collection distribution of Hb, MCV, and MCH in iron deficiency donors and SF normal donors during 2019 and 2020 were 0.030±0.008 vs 0.025±0.004, 0.011±0.006 vs 0.007±0.002, and 0.019±0.008 vs 0.013±0.005, respectively (P<0.05). .The Hb, MCV, and MCH values of high-frequency blood donors with Hb less than 130g/L decreased significantly. The original SF (μg/L) of iron-deficiency donors without extended interval was 13.89±4.66, and the current 12.27±5.17(P>0.05), and original 13.89±4.66 vs current 35.92±5.20 in the extended ones(P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 The incidence of iron deficiency in apheresis platelet donors increased as blood donation frequency elevated. The Hb, MCV, MCH and MCHC value of iron deficiency donors decreased while the dispersion of pre-collection Hb, MCV and MCH decreased. MCV and MCH are superior to Hb in early-reflection of metabolism status of red blood cell. It is recommended that iron deficiency donors with Hb less than 130 g/L should reduce the frequency of donation. Extending the donation interval can increase the SF level of iron deficiency donors.Dynamic monitoring of ferritin and related red blood cell parameters should be carried out by blood banks to customize the donation interval.

Objective To analyze the mortality characteristics and trends and the cause-eliminated life expectancy of gastric cancer in Harbin City from 1987 to 2019. Methods Mortality data of residents with gastric cancer from 1987 to 2019 in Harbin was analyzed to describe the mortality characteristics and trends of gastric cancer. Abridged life table and cause-eliminated life table were applied to calculate life expectancy and cause-eliminated life expectancy. Average annual percentage change (AAPC) was calculated with Joinpoint 4.2 software to evaluate the trends of mortality and cause-eliminated life expectancy of gastric cancer. Results From 1987 to 2019, the crude mortality, ASMRC and ASMRW and the truncated rate (35-64) were 14.3/10⁵, 10.9/10⁵, 10.9/10⁵, and 13.5/10⁵, respectively. The ASMRC showed an obvious decreasing trend at an average annual rate of 2.9% from 1987 to 2019 (95%CI: -4.4%--1.4%). Significant decreasing trends were observed for males (AAPC=-3.0%, 95%CI: -4.4%--1.7%) and females (AAPC=-3.1%, 95%CI: -5.3%--0.9%). An obvious decreasing trend in the ASMRW was also observed. The truncated rate (35-64) showed a downward trend (AAPC=-2.8%, 95%CI: -3.1%--2.5%). The average life expectancy of residents from 1987 to 2019 in Harbin were 76.78 years (male: 74.41 years, female: 79.33 years). After eliminating the causes of death of gastric cancer, the life expectancy increased by 0.25 years (male: 0.31 years, female: 0.18 years). Significant decreasing trends were found in the proportion of gastric cancer in all malignant cancer cases (AAPC=-0.18%, 95%CI: -2.0%--1.7%). Conclusion The mortality of gastric cancer decreases gradually from 1987 to 2019 in Harbin. After eliminating the causes of death of gastric cancer, the life expectancy increases by 0.25 years. Therefore, prevention and control should be strengthened.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the feasibility of using immunohistochemical technique to detect the presence of fetal erythroblasts in the maternal circulation for prenatal diagnosis.

METHODSMaternal blood was obtained from 30 pregnant women at 8 to 26 weeks of gestation. Nucleated red blood cells (NRBCs) were separated with Percoll using a discontinuous density gradient method, and then smeared on microscope slides using cytocentrifugation. Slides were stained with antibody against the gamma-chain of fetal hemoglobin (HbF). All positive NRBCs were collected by micromanipulator under microscopic observation, and then amplified by improved primer extension preamplification(PEP). Sex and Duchenne's musclar dystrophy (DMD) genetic diagnosis were determined from a small aliquot of the PEP reaction.

RESULTSNRBCs stained with HbF were found in all of the blood from the 30 pregnant women at 8 to 26 weeks of gestation. 17 male fetuses and 13 female fetuses were detected in the 30 cases. These results coincided with those of induced labor or amniotic fluid control, and 8 fetuses at the risk of DMD were diagnosed.

CONCLUSIONThis diagnostic method using immunohistochemical technique to mark fetal NRBC shows good application prospects.
