Objective To study the relationship among iron metabolism indicators in the patients with hepatitis B and to analyze their clinical significance.Methods Serum ferritin,iron and hepcidin were detected in 96 cases of hepatitis B and 58 negative control subjects.The above indicators detected results and their relationship were analyzed.Results Compared with the control group,ser-um ferritin and serum iron concentration in the hepatitis B group were increased,he difference was statistically significant (P <0.05);serum ferritin and serum iron concentration in the hepatitis B group demonstrated the positive correlation (P <0.05);serum ferritin in the patients with hepatitis B was negatively correlated with hepcidin (P =0.018).Conclusion The patient with hepatitis B often have the iron metabolism abnormality,and the iron metabolism indicators is expected to be an assessment indicator of treat-ment and prognosis in the patients with hepatitis B.

Objective To evaluate the application value of denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography (DHPLC) as a rapid gene typing tool for β thalassemia. Methods 226 suspicious samples were screened with MCV, RDW, erythrocytcte agility and hemoglobin electrophoresis. The final diagnosis ofβ thalassemia genotype was made by DHPLC and PCR-reverse dot blot (PCR-RDB). Results Sixty-nine samples (30. 5% ) were eventually diagnosed as βthalassemia by PCR-RDB. The genotyping results for βthalassemia identified by DHPLC were complete agreement with genotyping results by PCR-RDB. We found 37 cases of CD41/CD42 ( - TCTT) frame shift mutation(54% ) ; 12 cases of IVS - Ⅱ - 654 (C→T) insertion mutation( 17% ) ;10 cases of TATA - 28 (A→G) transcription mutation ( 15% ) ;5 cases of CD17 (A→T)nonsense mutation ( 7% ) ; 5 cases of CD71/CD72 ( + A) frame shift mutation (7%). Conclusion The DHPLC is a rapid, sensitive , efficient and highly accurate assay in the diagnosis of β-thalassemia.

Objective To investigate the carrying rate and genotype of thalassemia in the household population of Yantian dis-trict in Shenzhen city so as to provide the scientific basis for Thalassemia genetic counseling,prenatal diagnosis and prevention plan. Methods 3 mL of anticoagulation blood by EDTA-K2 was extract for conducting the whole blood cells analysis.With the mean cor-puscular volume(MCV)<80 fL as the preliminary screening test,then the suspected cases were performed the DNA extraction for conducting the gene test.In theα-thalassemia detection,4 pairs of PCR primer were used to amplify in the same reaction system and the results were analyzed according to the band after the agarose gel electrophoresis.In theβ-thalassemia detection,the PCR product sequencing was adopted.Results After the preliminary screening,4 657 suspected cases all were performed the gene detection.510 carriers with thalassemia gene were detected out with the thalassemia gene carrying rate of 10.95%,including 389 cases carryingα-thalassemia gene with the carrying rate of 8.35%,which was dominated by α-3.7,α-4.2 and α-SEA,and 121 cases carrying βthalassemia gene with the carrying rate of 2.59%,which was dominated by CD41.42,LVS-Ⅱ-654,CD17 and CD71.Conclusion The carrying rate of thalassemia gene in the household population of Yantian district was 10.95%,which is closed to that in other districts within Guangdong province,all of the 8 detected genotypes of thalassemia are the common types.

Objective To explore the correlation between serum vitamin D levels,vitamin D receptor gene polymorphism,and the incidence of chronic urticaria in children,and to provide clinical evidence for screening the genetic susceptibility of chronic urticaria in children.Methods Clinical data and peripheral blood samples were collected from 100 children with chronic urticaria in the test group and 100 healthy children in the control group who were admitted to the Dermatological Department of Pingshan Distinct Maternal and Child Health Hospital from December 2021 to January 2023.Chemiluminescent assays were used to measure the levels of 25(OH)D,IgE and IgG.PCR amplification was performed to amplify the VDR gene polymorphic sites ApaI,BsmI,TaqI,FokI,and Tru9I,followed by sequencing to assess the VDR gene polymorphism and the expression levels of the associated genetic polymorphic sites rs7975232,rs1544410,rs731236,rs2228570,and rs757343.Results The levels of 25(OH)D in the test group were lower than that in the control group,while IgE and IgG levels were higher than those in the control group,and the differences were statistically sig-nificant.Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the T allele of rs757343 was a risk factor for the incidence of chronic urticaria in children(OR=1.45 8,95％CI:1.015-2.153,P=0.047),while the CC geno-type of rs757343 and 25(OH)D were protective factors(OR=0.250,95％CI:0.056-0.786,P=0.031;OR=0.553,95％CI:0.373-0.713,P＜0.001).ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve for 25(OH)D,white blood cell count,neutrophil percentage,lymphocyte percentage,and basophil percentage were 0.928,0.701,0.808,0.797 and 0.753,all＞0.7.Conclusion Vitamin D can assist in the diagnosis of uricaria in children and evaluate the progression of the disease.25(OH)D is a protective factor for the onset of chronic urticaria in children,the T allele of the VDR gene polymorphism rs757343 is a risk factor for chronic urticaria in children,while the CC genotype is a protective factor.
