Objective To study Ax subgroup’s molecular characteristics in Chinese Han population. Methods Eight samples suspected as Ax subgroup were analyzed and duplex PCR RFLP test was used to determine the primary ABO genotypes. These samples were then analyzed by another PCR RFLP test to identify whether there was an nt646 “T” to “A” mutation within the exon 7 of ABO gene, which was a known mutation related to most Ax phenotypes. Samples with discrepancy between serological and gene typing were chosen for further T A cloning and sequence analysis. Results Four out of all tested samples had the known nt646 “T” to “A” mutation. An A *weak01 allele including nt407 and nt467 “C” to “T” mis sense mutation was detected in this study. Moreover, a novel Ax allele with a new single nucleotide C to T mutation was detected at nt745. Another 2 unrelated samples were suspected as AxB through serological test, both of which contained higher quantities of anti A and showed strong agglutination with anti H. And their initial genotypes were BO, and sequence analysis clarified that both had normal O gene and novel nt640 “A” to “G” mutation in their B alleles. Conclusion The novel Ax alleles, one kind of novel B(A) allele and one A *weak01 allele in Chinese Han individuals,have been detected. B(A) phenotypes should have their molecular biology bases as well as other ABO subgroups.

Objective To find the rule of the distribution of H antigens on AB subgrouperythrocytes.Methods ABO subgroups were confirmed by using serological and molecular biology (PCR-RFLP) methods. AB subgroup with strong H was defined as red cell agglutination by anti-H of 2 scores or more higher than that of B cells.Results Strong H was only found in certain AB subgroups ,CisAB(100%),B(A)(100%), AxB(46.2%) and A2B(43.6%), but seldom in others among Chinese population.Conclusion The fact that H type-3, which comes from A type-2, can hardly be transferred by B and weak A glycosyltransferase can help to explain why some ‘strong’ H combines with ‘weak’ A in AB erythrocytes. Why only little H can be found in 53.8% AxB, 56.4% A2B and all A3B, AmB subgroup samples still cannot been explained.

Objective:
Adolescents are at a special stage of physical and mental development, which is a susceptible period for mental disorders. Since the outbreak of coronavirus pneumonia in December 2019, long term stress may have negative effects on the mental health of the adolescents. In the context of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), the study was designed to investigate the mental and psychological health of adolescents in China and its possible related factors.
Methods:
A cross-sectional study design was adopted using a structured questionnaire which were distributed through the Internet to measure depression, anxiety, life events and stress related factors. Descriptive statistics and multiple regression analyses were conducted to process the data.
Results:
The final sample comprised 795 adolescents. The total detection rate of depression was 76.48% and the total detection rate of anxiety was 33.08%. ANOVA showed that there were significant differences in depression scores in terms of gender, anxiety scores, history of mental disorders, COVID-19 knowledge reserve, family and social contradictions (p<0.05). And there were significant differences in anxiety scores in terms of gender, depression scores, mental health knowledge reserves, family and social contradictions (p<0.05). Multiple regression analysis showed that anxiety score, health status and COVID-19 knowledge reserve were positively associated with depression score (p<0.01), and history of psychosocial disorders was negatively associated with depression score (p<0.05); depression score, family and social contradictions were significantly positively correlated with anxiety score (p<0.01), and history of mental disorders was significantly negatively correlated with SDS score (p<0.01).
Conclusion
During the outbreak of COVID-19, adolescent students with better understanding of the pandemic, more complete knowledge of mental health, and better family and social relationship had less impact on their mental health. Therefore, to ensure a sound social support system, elaborate health instruction, and family communication and mutual understanding are conducive to alleviating the psychological stress caused by the epidemic, and it is positive for adolescent students to maintain a good mental health.

OBJECTIVETo study the frequency of rare blood group Lu(a-b-) phenotype in a population from Shanghai region, and to explore the molecular basis of Lu(a-b-) by detecting the Lu and Lu relative mediator gene EKLF/KLF1.
METHODSDonors from Shanghai region were screened for Lutheran blood group by monoclonal anti-Lub using serological methods. Individuals with Lu(b-) were determined Lua, P1 and i antigens. Fifteen exons of the LU gene and 3 exons of the EKLF/KLF1 gene for the identified Lu(a-b-) samples were amplified and sequenced.
RESULTSTen Lu(a-b-) donors were obtained from 44 331 donors from Shanghai region. No homozygous or heterozygous mutations were found in the LU gene, whilst 7 mutations in EKLF/KLF1 gene were identified in the 10 samples.
CONCLUSIONThe frequency of rare Lu(a-b-) blood group in Shanghai was approximately 0.02%, and all the individuals had an In(Lu) phenotype. The molecular basis of such samples may be related to mutations in the EKLF/KLF1 gene.
