Objective To evaluate the value of HbA2 level determined by capillary electrophoresis (Hb-CE)in screening and diagnosis of thalassemia.Methods HbA2 level of 249 thalassaemia carriers and 142 healthy controls confirmed by molecular biological detection were determined by Hb-CE method.The thalassaemia carrier subjects were divided into different groups and subgroups according to their results of gene detection.The sensitivity,specificity,accuracy,positive predictive value and negative predictive value for the diagnosis ofα-thalassemia,β-thalassaemia,α,β-thalassaemia were calculated under different HbA2 cut-off value.Results Mean value of HbA2 in healthy controls was (3.03±0.27)%.Mean values of HbA2 inα-thalassemia group and its subgroups of silentα-thalassemia,standardα-thalassemia and hemoglobin H disease were (2.38± 0.55)%,(2.61±0.46)%,(2.47 ± 0.32)% and (1.07 ± 0.17)%,respectively.Mean values of HbA2 inβ-thalassaemia group and itsβ0 subgroup,β+ subgroup were (5.65±0.47)%,(5.71±0.48)% and (5.56±0.43)%.Mean value of HbA2 in compoundαandβ-thalassaemia group was (5.7±0.82)%.Compared with healthy controls,HbA2 level inα-thalassemia group,silentα-thalassemia subgroup,standardα-thalassemia subgroup and hemoglobin H disease group decreased signifi-cantly (t values of 11.73,5.02,12.91 and 33.46,respectively,P<0.01).HbA2 level in hemaglobin H disease was signifi-cantly lower than silent and standardα-thalassemia subgroups (t values of 15.62 and 21.31,respectively,P<0.01),but there were no differences in HbA2 level between silent and standardα-thalassemia subgroups (t=1.50,P>0.05).HbA2 level inβ-thalassaemia group,β0 subgroup,β+ subgroup and compoundαandβ-thalassaemia group increased significantly (t values of 55.12,44.33,38.94 and 9.10,respectively,P<0.01),but there were no differences in HbA2 level betweenβ0 andβ+ subgroups (t=1.79,P>0.05).Of 249 thalassemia carriers,all 124β-thalassaemia carriers were distinguished with ele-vated HbA2 level (>3.5%)determined by Hb-CE and only 57 were distinguished from 117α-thalassemia carriers by Hb-CE.Under the cut-off value of 2.5%,the sensitivity,specificity,positive predictive value,negative predictive value and accu-racy for the diagnosis ofα-thalassemia were 48.72%,97.18%,93.44%,69.70%,75.29%,respectively.Under the cut-off value of 3.5%,they were 100.00%,98.59%,98.41%,100%,and 99.25% for the diagnosis ofβ-thalassaemia,respectively. The analysis of ROC curve showed that the optimal HbA2 cut-off values for diagnosis ofα,β-thalassaemia by capillary elec-trophoresis were 2.8% and 3.7%,respectively.Conclusion When no abnormal bands,the elevated HbA2 (>3.7% in this study)determined by Hb-CE could be used as a marker forβ-thalassaemia diagnosis,but theβ-thalassaemia co-existingα-thalassemia could not be differentiated fromβ-thalassaemia diagnosis.Decreased HbA2 level (<1.5% in this study)and HbH band could be used for the diagnosis of hemoglobin H disease.Only HbA2 determination by Hb-CE has no clinical sig-nificance for the screen and diagnosis ofα-thalassemia.

Objective To detect human metapneumovirus (hMPV)in respiratory intection rapidly and perform molecular analysis of hMPV.Methods Seven respiratory tract virus(11 subtypes)were assessed using multiplex PCR technology and flexible Multi-Analyte Profiling(suspension array).Human metapneumovirus was confirmed by using a real.Time reverse ranscriptase CR(RT-PCR)assay followed by sequencing.The cladogram analysis was performed further.Results The virus were detected in 40.2%(19/47)samples collected from clinicsl respiratory tract infections,including 8(42.1%)HRSV,7(36.8%)influenza virus,1(5.3%)parainfluenza virus,1(5.3%)rhinovirus,1(5.3%) coxsackievirus and 1(5.3%)human etapneumovirus infections.This is the first time that hMPV was deteced from clinical samples in Shenzhen.The sequencing of specific fragment of neucleoprotein of hMPV showed this hMPV shares over 98% homology with Beijing strain.Japan strain and Thailand strain.The cladogram analysis showed that they were in the same cluste.Conclusions Human etapneumovirus is a maior cause of children respiratory tract disease. Multiplex PCR technology and nexible Multi-Analyte Profiling were hish sensitive and high-throughput for detection of human metapneumovirus.They axe very robust and applicable in etiology analysis.

Objective To study human bocavirus (HBoV) induced respiratory tract infection in Guangdong Province in China. Methods HBoV was deteced by using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology and was identified by DNA sequences. Results One strain of HBoV was detected and identified from 50 samples collected from children with acute respiratory tract infections. This was the first clinical case of HBoV infection reported in Guangdong and was named as GD-1 strain. The HBoV capsid protein (VP) gene amplified from the specimen by PCR was identified by sequencing and was compared with gene sequences in GenBank. Phylogenetic trees were constructed for sequence homology analysis. The nucleotides similarities between GD-1 and Beijing strains, France strains and Canada strains were over 98%, while the simlilarity was over 36% compared with Korea KNIH-2K6GJ2713 strain and over 77% compared with US NH4549 strain. Conclusion HBoV infection does exist in Guangdong Province. It is valuable to start systemic study on it.

and adenovirns. The high rate of mixed viral infection brings clinical concern. ELISA combined with PCR improve the diagnostic sensitivity for norovirus, enteric adenovirns and astrovirus.
