Osteoarthritis ( OA) is a chronic joint disease characterized by degeneration of articular cartilage and changes of subchondral bone play an important role in the occurrence and development of OA .Recent studies have found that change in the struc-ture and mechanical properties of subchondral bone is one of the main pathological processes in OA .To confirm the role of subchondral bone in OA process can provide not only more details about the pathogenesis of OA , but also new targets for treatment .Early diagnosis and treatment of OA may be possible by detecting radiographic and genomics of subchondral bone .We review subchondral bone chan-ges andits role in OA process in aspects of biomechanics , biology, radiological and genomics .

Objective To investigate the molecular basis for Jk(a b ) phenotype.Methods Routine serologic testing for phenotype.Genomic DNA covering 4～11 exons and partial introns of JK gene was amplified by ploymerase chain reaction.The PCR products were excised and purified from agarose gels with a kit,then fragments were directly sequenced.Results G mutated to A in the 3'acceptor splice site of intron 5;A to G at 78 site from the 3'end of intron 3;C to T at 84 site from the 5'end of intron 8; A to G at 588 site of exons ( exon 7); G to A at 838 site of exons (exon 9).The splice site mutation (G→A) of intron 5 may cause the skipping of exon 6.Conclusion G to A mutation in the 3'acceptor splice site of intron 5 maybe one of the molecular basis for Jk(a-b-) phenotype

Direct sequencing was performed and family study was done. Results Proband was typed as rare para-Bombay phenotype AB h mand anti-H was detected in his serum. Family study suggested that the inheritance was autosomal recessive. Conclusion Rare AB h m phenotype was identified and anti-H has been detected in his serum.

AIM:To study the effects of lipopolysaccharide(LPS), interleukin-6(IL-6)and tumor necrosis factor ? (TNF?) on tissue factor(TF) expression of astrocytes. METHODS:Astrocytes were identified with anti-glial fibrillary acidic protein antibody. The TF activity of cell lysate was measured with one stage clotting assay. RESULTS:TF activity of astrocytes of LPS,IL-6,TNF? groups were obviously higher than that of the control group( P

Objective : To investigate the prevalence of hepatitis B virus ( HBV ) infection among volunteer blood donors in Hangzhou City, and to evaluate the residual risk of transfusion-transmitted HBV infections. Methods : Data pertaining to volunteer blood donors in Hangzhou City from 2016 to 2019 were retrieved from the blood donor management system. Hepatitis B surface antigen ( HBsAg ) was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay ( ELISA ) and HBV DNA was detected using nucleic acid testing. The incidence/window period model was employed to assess the residual risk of HBV transmitted through transfusion from donors. Results : The prevalence of HBV infections was 0.56% among the 320 755 first-time donors and 0.13% among the 279 816 repeat donors in Hangzhou City from 2016 to 2019, and a higher prevalence of HBV infection was detected among first-time donors than among repeat donors ( P<0.05 ). The residual risks of transfusion-transmitted HBV infection were 296.38 per million person-times ( 95%CI: 277.57 to 315.19 per million person-times ) and 98.79 per million person-times ( 95%CI: 87.15 to 110.43 per million person-times ) among first-time and repeat donors with positive HBsAg, and were 86.79 per million person-times ( 95%CI: 76.60 to 96.98 per million person-times ) and 28.93 per million person-times ( 95%CI: 22.63 to 35.23 per million person-times ) among first-time and repeat donors tested positive for HBV DNA, respectively. Conclusions There is still a residual risk of HBV infection transmitted through transfusion from blood donors in Hangzhou City. Nucleic acid testing may remarkably reduce the residual risk of transfusion-transmitted HBV infection in blood donors.

Objective To assess the activity of Crohn’s disease (CD)by using the quantitative parameter of dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI).Methods 50 CD patients with ileocecal solitary lesion were recruited in this study.All of patients underwent con-ventional and DCE-MRI.The quantitative parameter of volume transfer constant (Ktrans )and the clinical data including Harvey-Brad-show index (HBI)and C-reactive protein (CRP)were recorded.(1)the reliability and repeatability of Ktrans measurement were analyzed. (2)the correlation between Ktrans value and clinical data was analyzed by using Pearson analysis.(3)according to HBI,all of the CD patients were divided into severe group,mild-moderate group,and static group.The differences of Ktrans values among the three groups were compared by using Mann-Whitney U test.Results (1)the reliability of Ktrans measurement was high (Cronbach’s Alpha=0.993).(2)there was positive correlation between HBI and Ktrans(r=0.635,P<0.001),and between CRP and Ktrans(r= 0.764,P<0.001).(3)there was significant difference of Ktrans value between the static group and the mild-moderate group (P<0.001),be-tween the static group and the severe group (P<0.001),and.between the mild-moderate group and the severe group (P<0.001). Conclusion Quantitative parameter of DCE-MRI (Ktrans )had a high reliability and can be used to assess the inflammation activity of CD.

Objective Visceral pain in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) may be associated with the abnormal processing of pain in the central nervous system.The aim of the study is to investigate the characteristic changes of brain functions in the IBD patients using resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) with the amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (ALFF) algorithm.Methods This study included 27 cases of IBD treated in our hospital from December 2015 to August of 2016 and 21 healthy volunteers as normal controls.We recorded the high-resolution structure imaging and rs-fMRI data, compared the brain activities of the two groups patients by ALFF analysis, and evaluated the correlation of the ALFF values with the clinical parameters of the IBD patients.Results Compared with the normal control group, the IBD patients showed significantly decreased ALFF values in the medial frontal gyrus, right putamen, right insula, left middle cingulate gyrus (MCC), and bilateral supplementary motor region (P<0.05), increased ALFF values in the middle frontal gyrus, left superior frontal gyrus, and medial prefrontal lobe region (P<0.05).The ALFF values in the inferior parietal lobule, precuneus and MCC of the IBD patients were correlated negatively with the blood sedimentation rate (r=-0.537,-0.588, and-0.588, P<0.05), disease course (P<0.05), and C-reactive protein (CRP) level (P<0.05), while that in the medial frontal gyrus positively with the CRP level (r=-0.623, P<0.001).Conclusion IBD patients have abnormal ALFF values in various brain regions, mainly in those involved in the processing of visceral pain and emotion.
