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.

BACKGROUND:At present, the common filing materials used to correct secondary unilateral cleft lip nasal deformity include conchae cartilage, costal cartilage, Medpor implants, expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE), alogenic acelular dermal matrix. OBJECTIVE:To analyze the therapeutic effects of comprehensive procedures with alogenic acelular dermal matrix or ePTFE for secondary unilateral cleft lip nasal deformity. METHODS: Thirty-six patients with secondary unilateral cleft lip nasal deformity were enroled, including 19 males and 17 females, aged 15-32 years. Alogenic acelular dermal matrix (n=22) or ePTFE (n=14) was used to correct nasal base colapse deformities. Anthropometry method was employed to make measurements. Fixed-point measurement was performed based on patient's pictures before and after correction. Long-term effects of these two kinds of filing materials were analyzed and assessed objectively and quantitatively. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: After the folow-up of 6 months, al the patients were satisfied with their results, and no infection and no exposure occurred. The treatment effect of the alogenic acelular dermal matrix group was excelent in 16 cases and good in 6 cases; there were 10 cases of excelent and 4 cases of good in the ePTFE group. The objective indicators in the two groups were al improved at 6 months after correction (P < 0.05), but there was no difference between the two groups (P > 0.05). These findings indicate that alogenic acelular dermal matrix or ePTFE is useful to correct secondary unilateral cleft lip nasal deformity.

Objective To study the changes of iodine source and the nutritional status of iodine after termination of iodized salt supply in the areas with different water iodine concentrations in Shanxi province,in order to provide scientific bases for developing strategies on control and prevention of iodine deficiency disorders,and to study the cut-off value of water iodine level where iodized salt supply should be stopped.Methods In 2010 in Shanxi province,6 villages with 100% of non-iodized salt consumption rate were selected as the survey spots based on the iodine concentration in drinking water of 0-,50-,100-,150-,300-,≥500 μg/L.Villages'iodized salt supply was terminated thoroughly.In each village,20 children aged 8 to 10 were selected.At the same time,women of childbearing age 18 to 50 years old and adult men aged 18 to 60 were selected from the same families as the children.Diet surveys were conducted by the method of 3 days recall on all subjects.Drinking water samples,staple foods,supplementary foods and urinary samples of all subjects were collected and the iodine concentration was determined by arsenic-cerium catalytic spectrophotometry.Results ①In the villages of water iodine 25.9,70.6 μg/L,the medians urinary iodine of children,women and men were all ranged from 100 to 199 μg/L,which meant their iodine nutrition levels were appropriate.In the village of water iodine 109.0 μg/L,the medians urinary iodine of children,women and men were all ranged from 200 to 299 μg/L,which meant their iodine nutrition levels were more than appropriate.In the villages of water iodine 225.8,430.0,581.2 μg/L,the medians urinary iodine of children,women and men were all ≥ 300 μg/L,which meant their iodine nutrition levels were too high.②)In all the 6 villages,the intaking amount of iodine met and exceeded the standard recommended intake of dietary iodine by ICCIDD/UNICEF/WHO (8 to 10-year-old children ≥ 120 μg/d,women of childbearing age and adult men ≥ 150 μg/d).But in the village of water iodine 581.2 μg/L,the iodine intake was exceeded the daily maximum safe intake (children aged 8 to 10 ≤800 μg/d,women of childbearing age and adult man ≤ 1000 μg/d).③The amount of iodine ingestion from drinking water was increased with the water content of iodine.When water iodine exceeded 100 μg/L,the amount of iodine ingestion from drinking water was higher than from food intaking,and became a main resource of iodine in the human body.Conclusions In the counties of iodine concentration in drinking water above 100 μg/L in high iodine areas of Shanxi province,the water iodine becomes the most important source of iodine,and iodine nutritional level is more than appropriate or possible excess.It is recommended that in areas of high water iodine of Shanxi province,the standard cut-point of water iodine value is set to 100 μg/L.

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.

Acta Academiae Medicinae Sinicae 2007;29(1):51-54
OBJECTIVETo explore the surgical treatment of Cockett's syndrome in patients with deep vein thrombosis of lower extremity (DVT).
METHODSNinety-five patients were diagnosed as Cockett's syndrome among 160 patients with DVT who received surgeries in our hospital from February 1991 to September 2005. Among these 95 patients, pathological changes included left common iliac vein (LCIV) occlusion (n = 20), > 50% stenosis of the LCIV (n = 53), < 50% stenosis (n = 22). All patients received thrombectomy. In patients with LCIV occlusion, resection and reconstruction were performed in 10 patients, iliocaval bypass for 3 patients, and Palma procedures for 3 patients. In patients with > 50% stenosis of LCIV, 5 patients received stent placement, 8 patients received percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) by dilation balloon catheter, 4 patients received iliac angioplasty, and the other 36 patients received PTA by F8-10 Fogarty thrombectomy catheter. Territorial anticoagulant and lytic therapy were performed through the catheter inserted into the great saphenous vein intraoperatively for 3 days and then venography was performed for all the patients postoperatively. Warfarin was administered for more than 6 months.
RESULTSEighty-two patients (86.3%) were cured. One patient died of myocardial infarction, and the others were improved.
CONCLUSIONSManagement of Cockett's syndrome is essential to increase the cure rate of DVT. Resection and reconstruction is useful for occlusive LCIV, while PTA or stent placement if preferred for severely stenotic vessels.

After 28 foreign species of AM fungi were inoculated in sterilized soil, the effects of the AM mycorrhizal colonization and the medicine quality of Paris polyphylla var. yunnanensis were observed by combination of inoculation test in pot at room temperature and instrumental analysis. The results showed that, compared with control group (CK), the inoculation of foreign AM fungi in the soil influenced the spore density, mycorrhizal infection rate, and colonization intensity of AM fungi in root system of P. polyphylla var. yunnanensis. The inoculation of foreign AM fungi enhanced the mycorrhiza viability of P. polyphylla var. yunnanensis by increasing the activity of succinic dehydrogenase (SDH) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) in intraradical hyphae. The content of single steroid saponin in rhizome of P. polyphylla var. yunnanensis showed variation after P. polyphylla var. yunnanensis was inoculated by different foreign species of AM fungi, which was beneficial for increasing the medicine quality; however, the kinds of steroid saponin showed no difference. In a degree, there was a selectivity of symbiosis between P. polyphylla var. yunnanensis and foreign AM fungi. And we found that the Claroideoglomus claroideum and Racocetra coralloidea were best foreign AM fungi species for cultivating P. polyphylla var. yunnanensis under field condition.
