1.Diagnosis and treatment of primary intraocular lymphoma
Recent Advances in Ophthalmology 2017;37(6):597-600
Primary intraocular lymphoma (PIOL) is mostly composed by diffuse large B-cell lymphoma with a high degree of malignancy and often masquerades as uveitis.Moreover,it has a poor prognosis,therefore the early diagnosis and treatment are very important.Cytology,cytokine analysis,immunohistochemistry and genetic testing are often used in combination to improve the diagnosis rate of PIOL,however,eye tissue biopsy is the gold standard for diagnosis of PIOL.Currently,since there is no unified treatment program,the main treatment is given priority to local chemotherapy and orbital radiotherapy,and the use of multiple therapies can improve the efficacy of refractory PIOL.Base on these,this article reviews the current diagnosis and treatment for providing certain reference.

Objective To investigate the effect of pre - washing without heparin on adequacy of hemodialysis. Methods Using self-control method, fifty hemodialysis patients received pre-washing with heparin in normal saline and normal saline. Then we tested Kt/v by online clearance monitoring and observed clotting condition of dialyzer and hemodialysis tubes. Results There were no difference of Kt/v between two methods. After hemodialysis, no clotting phenomenon was found in dialyzer. There was a little pot of coagulation in artery and vein pot, but no significant difference between two methods. Conclusions Pre-washing with normal saline alone can not only ensure the adequacy of hemodialysis, but also reduce the risk of cross infection and reduce the amount of heparin, simplify operational procedures, so it should be promoted.

Applying scientific literature in the teaching of nutrition and food hygiene is neces-sary. It can not only deepen students' understanding of the course and improve students' English level and scientific research ability, but also can improve teachers' professional skill. To improve the effi-ciency of teaching, teachers should choose literature close to the course and pay attention to selecting review literature and English literature. Textbook should be principal line of study during the teach-ing. Teachers should control the number and timing of explaining literature and grasp the complexity of literature. In order to facilitate students' understanding, teachers should make full use of related figures and tables.

Neurogenesis is a process in which the neuronal stem cells differentiate into functional neurons including the cell proliferation,differentiation and migration.Previously,it was believed that neurogenesis is a prenatal process and the adult ependymal cells are incapable of regeneration.Now it is clear that mammalian brain retains the ability to generate new ceils in specific regions.One of the regions is subventricular zone of the lateral ventricles,new generated neurons and glial cells later migrate to olfactory and repair dysosmia through the RMS road.Here we will review the advances in adult neurogenesis in mammal subventficular zone.

OBJECTIVETo explore the molecular basis for a novel B(A) phenotype.
METHODSGenomic DNA was abstracted from peripheral blood sample from the proband. ABO genotyping were carried out with sequence specific primer PCR (PCR-SSP). Exons 6 and 7 of the ABO gene were amplified with PCR and sequenced.
RESULTSAnti-A serum could not be adsorbed or eluted by the donor's red blood cells, and no irregular antibodies were found in the plasma. PCR-SSP showed that the ABO genotype of the donor was ABO *B/O. Sequencing results showed that one of the alleles was ABO *O02, while the other could not be defined but contained the following mutation points, 297A>G, 526C>G, 657C>T, 701C>T, 703G>A, 796C>A, 803G>C, and 930G>A. The data was accepted by the GenBank (the loading code was KM974887) and the Blood Group Antigen Mutation Database, and was confirmed to be a novel allele of B(A).
CONCLUSIONA novel allele ABO *B(A)07 with 701C>T has been identified, which may facilitate further study on blood antigen variants and typing of the blood groups.

OBJECTIVETo report a rare case of hemolytic disease of the newborn (HDN) with kernicterus caused by anti-Di(a) diagnosed using high-throughput genotyping multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA).
METHODSConventional serological methods were used to detect the antibodies related with HDN. The genotypes of more than 40 red blood cell antigens for the newborn and her parents were obtained using the high-throughput MLPA assay. The antibody titers were tested using a standard serological method.
RESULTSThe unknown antibody against the low-frequency antigens was predicted based on the primary serological tests. The genotyping results for more than 40 red blood cell antigens of the newborn and her parents showed incompatible antigens of MNS and Diego blood group system, indicating the existence of anti-N or anti-Di(a). Further serological tests confirmed anti-Di(a) existence in the plasma of the newborn and her mother. The titer of anti-Di(a) in the mother's plasma was 1:32.
CONCLUSIONSevere HDN including kernicterus can result from anti-Di(a). High-throughput genotyping MLPA assay can help type some rare antigens in complicated cases. The reagent red cell panels including Di(a)-positive cells are necessary in routine antibody screening test in Chinese population.
