Objective For the second children diagnosed as ABO hemolytic disease of the newborn(ABO-HDN),we made a comprehensive analysis of the related indicators of prenatal and postpartum,so as to achieve early prevention,early diagnosis and early treatment.Methods Prenatal microcolumn gel assay was used to detect the father and mother's blood type and mother's irregular antibody,mother serum IgG anti A(B)anti-body titer.Microcolumn gel assay was used to detect hemolysis three tests after the production of pregnant women.The results were divided into five groups according to the results of hemolysis three tests:group A[di-rect antiglobulin test(+),free antibodies test(+)and antibody releasing test(+)],group B[direct antiglobu-lin test(-),free antibodies test(+)and antibody releasing test(+)],group C[direct antiglobulin test(+), free antibodies test(-)and antibody releasing test(+)],group D[direct antiglobulin test(-),free antibod-ies test(-)and antibody releasing test(+)]and group E[direct antiglobulin test(+),free antibodies test (-)and antibody releasing test(-)].Total bilirubin,unbound bilirubin,hemoglobin,reticulocyte percentage and lactate dehydrogenase were detected by automatic analyzer.Results ABO-HDN children hemolysis three tests,in the 5 groups,the higher the titer of the mother's IgG anti A(B)antibody,the more serious the child' s condition was,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Reticulocyte percentage and lactate de-hydrogenase in the five groups,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion A combina-tion of antenatal and postnatal multiple laboratory test parameters is more accurate in predicting the second child ABO-HDN.At the same time,it helps to master the state of the disease and reduce the occurrence of complications and sequelae.

OBJECTIVETo find out the distributive features of some metabolic genes polymorphisms in Han population of south area of China.

METHODSStudy population was obtained from the controls of a community based case-control study, which included 290 blood relatives (inner control) and 404 non-blood relatives (outer control).

RESULTSFrequencies of CYP1A1, GSTM1 and GSTT1 polymorphisms had no significant difference among confounding factors, such as sex, living areas, stomach cancer family history and history of tobacco smoking etc. Some controls showed significant difference in age group and alcohol drinking which would be adjusted in analysis of the relationship between polymorphisms and cancers. CYP1A1 Ile/Val and Val/Val genotypes were 33.43% and 5.62% respectively, which were similar to other results from Chinese and Japanese, but higher than those from Caucasians in American, Europe and African-Americans. GSTM1 null allele frequency was 53.48% in our population, which showed difference even among Chinese in different areas. GSTT1 null allele frequency was 45.78%, which was significantly higher than that in Caucasians and African-American.

CONCLUSIONThe frequencies of CYP1A1 Ile/Val, Val/Val and GSTT1 null in Han population in south area of China are significantly higher than those in other races, while the ethnic difference of frequency of GSTM1 null is less.

OBJECTIVETo study the relationship between polymorphism of inducible Nitric Oxide Synthase (iNOS) gene and the susceptibility of intestinal type stomach cancer and stomach cardia cancer in Chinese people.

METHODSA community-based case-control study was designed. Ninety-three intestinal type of stomach cancer and 50 stomach cardia cancer patients with endoscopy and pathology diagnosis were identified as cases. Two hundred and forty-six controls served as controls.

RESULTSC-->T polymorphism was found in exon 16 of iNOS gene, which changed the coding amino acid from serine to leucine, and formed a recognition site identified by Tsp 509 I restriction enzyme (we called it C-->T polymorphism). The T allele gene frequency in the control group was 13.21%. No statistically significant difference was found between C-->T polymorphism alone and the increased susceptibility to intestinal stomach cancer or stomach cardia cancer. A significant type 2 multiplicative interaction was found in increasing both the risk of intestinal stomach cancer and stomach cardia cancer when both C-->T polymorphism and tobacco smoking exposure existed. An additive interaction model, which showed statistically significant difference, was found to increase only the risk of stomach cardia cancer when CagA antibody shared negative but C-->T polymorphism occurred.

CONCLUSIONC-->T polymorphism of iNOS gene was considered as one of the possible susceptible genes, which specifically increased the risk of tobacco-related but CagA negative types of intestinal stomach cancer and stomach cardia cancer.

【Objective】 To explore the correlation between the severity of jaundice in ABO hemolytic disease of fetus and newborn (HDFN) and multiple indicators, in order to achieve accurate diagnosis, timely treatment, and prevent complications in ABO HDFN. 【Methods】 From March 2020 to February 2023, a total of 283 ABO HDFN in our hospital were classified into mild, moderate and severe groups based on total bilirubin levels. The differences in basic data, relevant laboratory indicators and the agglutination intensity of the three hemolysis tests were analyzed and compared. 【Results】 In the severe group, 75% (12/16) were male infants, which was significantly higher compared to 37.5% (57/152) in the moderate group (P<0.05). The values (mg/dL) of transcutaneous jaundice in the mild, moderate and severe groups were:forehead 9.88±1.93 vs 12.34±2.01 vs 15.56±2.69, face 10.25±2.27 vs 13.28±2.32 vs 15.99±2.86, chest 9.67±2.16 vs 12.51±2.11 vs 15.33±2.36, respectively. The values(µmol/L) of direct bilirubin (DBIL) and indirect bilirubin (IBIL) were 9.87±2.06 vs 11.90±2.59 vs 16.12±4.73, and 159.36±37.55 vs 252.98±30.52 vs 353.76±55.68, respectively, and the differences between the mild, moderate and severe groups were statistically significant (all P<0.05) . The creatine kinase (CK) values(unit/L) of mild, moderate and severe groups were 664.15±498.26 vs 500.51 ±451.63 vs 402.63±224.27, and the difference between the mild group and the other two groups was statistically significant (P<0.05) . There was no statistically significant difference in the agglutination intensity of the three hemolysis tests among HDFN with different severity of jaundice. 【Conclusion】 Clinicians can predict the severity of jaundice in light of gender, transcutaneous jaundice, DBIL, IBIL and CK of ABO HDFN, for further and graded treatment, so as to avoid the sequelae or even life-threatening consequences caused by ABO HDFN.
