【Objective】 To screen the distribution frequency of Mur blood group among voluntary blood donors in Hezhou, Guangxi, and further analyze the molecular basis of of Mur antigen positive samples. 【Methods】 The Mur phenotype of voluntary blood donors in Hezhou was serologically screened using microplate method, and the distribution frequency of Mur antigens in different ethnic groups was analyzed. Genetic typing was performed on these positive samples with PCR-SSP method to verify the accuracy of the serological method, and the genetic background was sequenced and analyzed. 【Results】 Among 3 298 samples from voluntary blood donors in Hezhou, 432(13.10%, 432/3 298) were screened positive for Mur antigen, and PCR-SSP genotyping validation showed that all 432 samples were electrophoretic positive. Among them, the proportion of Han blood donors with positive Mur antigen was 12.79%(331/2 587), Yao ethnic group was 13.25%(64/483), Zhuang ethnic group was 16.51%(36/218), and no statistically significant difference was found in the three groups(P>0.05). Further sequencing results showed that 428 samples were GYP(B-A-B) Mur, also known as GYP. Mur type(12.98%, 428/3 298), the other 4 samples were GYP(B-A-B) Bun, also known as GYP. Bun type(0.12%, 4/3 298). 【Conclusion】 The Mur blood type frequency is high in the voluntary blood donors in Hezhou, Guangxi, and is predominant characterized by GYP. Mur genotype. Due to ethnic integration, no significant difference was noticed in the frequency of Mur blood type distribution between Han, Zhuang and Yao population. Therefore, conducting extensive Mur blood group antigen and antibody testing in Hezhou is of great significance for ensuring clinical blood transfusion safety.

Objective:To explore prenatal ultrasound diagnostic clues of congenital dislocation of the knee(CDK).Methods:The prenatal ultrasonographic features of 13 CDK fetuses diagnosed from January 2013 to December 2018 in the Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University were retrospectively analyzed, combined with the results of gene detections and pathological findings.Results:Thirteen fetuses were diagnosed by prenatal ultrasound during the second trimester. Two-dimensional and three-dimensional ultrasound showed dislocation of the knee(unilateral in 3 cases and bilateral in 10 cases). All cases were accompanied with multiple abnormalities, including talipes(5 cases), overlapping fingers(2 cases), short nasal bone(1 case), thicken nuchal fold(1 case), narrow thorax(1 case), abnormal vertebral development(1 case), etc. Ultrasound diagnosis included Larsen syndrome in 2 cases, arthrogryosis multiplex congenital in 3 cases, asphyxiating thoracic dysplasia in 1 case, and congenital dislocation of the knee in 7 cases. CDK was confirmed in all fetuses after termination of pregnancy. Three of them were known to undergo chromosome examinations with normal chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA). One case was confirmed to be Larsen syndrome by further second-generation sequencing combined with first-generation sequencing screening, suggesting there was FLNB gene mutation.Conclusions:CDK can exist isolated, and it can also be a common manifestation of various diseases. Therefore, attention should be paid to other associated abnormalities in the prenatal detection of knee flexion, and further detection of related genes can provide valuable information for genetic counseling.

Objective:To evaluate the value of mitral annulus displacement(TMAD) measured by two-dimensional speckle tracking imaging in evaluating left ventricular(LV) systolic function before and after immunoglobulin(IVIG) treatment in children with Kawasaki disease(KD).Methods:Thirty-five hospitalized children with acute KD(KD group) and 40 healthy volunteers(control group)were enrolled from September 2020 to March 2021 in the Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University. All participants underwent echocardiography.Left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF) and left ventricular short axis shortening(LVFS) were calculated from M-mode echocardiography. All children had their apical four-chamber and two-chamber view recorded and stored in real time, and the images of the KD group were recorded in the acute, subacute and convalescent stages, respectively. The data was analyzed by QLab 13.0 offline quantitative analysis software. The TMAD parameters between the KD group and the control group were compared. And the TMAD parameters at different periods in the KD group were compared. Pearson correlation analysis was conducted to evaluate associations between TMAD parameters and LVEF and N-terminal B-type natriuretic peptide(NT-proBNP) in children with acute KD.Results:①The parameters of TMAD AP4 MV1, TMAD AP4 MV2, TMAD AP2 MV1, TMAD AP2 MV2, TMAD AP4 Midpt, TMAD AP4 Midpt%, TMAD AP2 Midpt and TMAD AP2 Midpt% were decreased in patients with KD at different periods than those of the control group(all P<0.05), while there was no significant difference in LVEF between the two groups( P>0.05). ②After IVIG treatment, the values of TMAD AP4 MV1, TMAD AP4 MV2, TMAD AP2 MV1, TMAD AP2 MV2, TMAD AP4 Midpt, TMAD AP4 Midpt%, TMAD AP2 Midpt and TMAD AP2 Midpt% in subacute stage of KD were higher than those in acute stage(all P<0.05), the values of TMAD AP4 Midpt% and TMAD AP2 Midpt% in the convalescent stage of KD were higher than those in the subacute stage(all P<0.05). ③The parameters of TMAD were positively correlated with LVEF( r=0.36, 0.40, 0.32, 0.28, 0.42, 0.46, 0.35, 0.37; all P<0.05) and negatively correlated with NT-proBNP( r=-0.61, -0.57, -0.40, -0.60, -0.63, -0.47, -0.61, -0.36; all P<0.05). Conclusions:TMAD measured by two-dimensional speckle tracking imaging can quickly and accurately evaluate left ventricular systolic function in children with KD before and after IVIG treatment, and TMAD combined with NT-proBNP can provide a new method for clinical management of KD.

Objective To explore the ultrasonographic features ,diagnostic clues and methods of fetal aortic arch anomalies ,and to improve the diagnosis rate of prenatal ultrasonography for fetal aortic arch anomalies . Methods Fetuses with aortic arch anomalies diagnosed by prenatal ultrasound were selected as the study objects . The prenatal ultrasonographic features of the three views of the aortic arch were carefully observed . The three views included the followings :the transverse view ( the view of three vessels and trachea) ,the sagittal view ( the longitudinal view of the aortic arch) ,and the coronal view ( the coronal view of the descending aorta) . The prenatal diagnostic clues and diagnostic techniques of aortic arch anomalies were summarized and analyzed . Results Eighty-one cases with aortic arch anomalies were followed up . Fifteen cases were left-sided aortic arch and left-sided ductus arteriosus with aberrant right subclavian artery ,22 cases with right aortic arch and left-sided ductus arteriosus with aberrant left subclavian artery ,4 cases were mirror right aortic arch and left-sided ductus arteriosus ,2 cases were mirror right aortic arch and right-sided ductus arteriosus ,11 cases were double aortic arch ,23 cases were coarctation of the aorta ,and 4 cases were interruption of aortic arch . Among them ,27 cases were complicated with other cardiac and extra-cardiac malformations and 13 cases with chromosomal abnormalities . Prenatal ultrasonographic clues for diagnosis of coarctation of the aorta included the three vessels and trachea view showing small diameter and disproportion to the diameter of the ductus arteriosus . And the longitudinal view of the aortic arch was helpful for showing the position and the extent of coarctation of the aorta . Prenatal ultrasonographic clues for diagnosis of interruption of aortic arch were that the three vessels and trachea view and the longitudinal view of the aortic arch showed the interruption between aortic arch and descending aorta . And the abnormal combination cases of the aortic arch segments also had their corresponding diagnostic clues . These clues included that the three vessels and trachea view showed abnormal position ,arrangement and running of the branches of the aortic arch . And the coronal view of the descending aorta also showed abnormal changes in the branches of aortic arch . Conclusions Various types of congenital aortic arch anomalies have characteristic ultrasonography and their corresponding diagnostic clues and methods . The combined use of the three views of the aortic arch is effective in prenatal diagnosis for aortic arch anomalies .
