Objective To identify para-Bombay phenotype AB h m. Method ABO and H phenotype were typed. Absorption and elution were performed. Saliva was tested by inhibitory reaction. Direct sequencing was performed and family study was done. Results Proband was typed as rare para-Bombay phenotype AB h mand anti-H was detected in his serum. Family study suggested that the inheritance was autosomal recessive. Conclusion Rare AB h m phenotype was identified and anti-H has been detected in his serum.

Osteoarthritis ( OA) is a chronic joint disease characterized by degeneration of articular cartilage and changes of subchondral bone play an important role in the occurrence and development of OA .Recent studies have found that change in the struc-ture and mechanical properties of subchondral bone is one of the main pathological processes in OA .To confirm the role of subchondral bone in OA process can provide not only more details about the pathogenesis of OA , but also new targets for treatment .Early diagnosis and treatment of OA may be possible by detecting radiographic and genomics of subchondral bone .We review subchondral bone chan-ges andits role in OA process in aspects of biomechanics , biology, radiological and genomics .

Objective To investigate the molecular basis for Jk(a b ) phenotype.Methods Routine serologic testing for phenotype.Genomic DNA covering 4～11 exons and partial introns of JK gene was amplified by ploymerase chain reaction.The PCR products were excised and purified from agarose gels with a kit,then fragments were directly sequenced.Results G mutated to A in the 3'acceptor splice site of intron 5;A to G at 78 site from the 3'end of intron 3;C to T at 84 site from the 5'end of intron 8; A to G at 588 site of exons ( exon 7); G to A at 838 site of exons (exon 9).The splice site mutation (G→A) of intron 5 may cause the skipping of exon 6.Conclusion G to A mutation in the 3'acceptor splice site of intron 5 maybe one of the molecular basis for Jk(a-b-) phenotype

Objective : To investigate the prevalence of hepatitis B virus ( HBV ) infection among volunteer blood donors in Hangzhou City, and to evaluate the residual risk of transfusion-transmitted HBV infections. Methods : Data pertaining to volunteer blood donors in Hangzhou City from 2016 to 2019 were retrieved from the blood donor management system. Hepatitis B surface antigen ( HBsAg ) was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay ( ELISA ) and HBV DNA was detected using nucleic acid testing. The incidence/window period model was employed to assess the residual risk of HBV transmitted through transfusion from donors. Results : The prevalence of HBV infections was 0.56% among the 320 755 first-time donors and 0.13% among the 279 816 repeat donors in Hangzhou City from 2016 to 2019, and a higher prevalence of HBV infection was detected among first-time donors than among repeat donors ( P<0.05 ). The residual risks of transfusion-transmitted HBV infection were 296.38 per million person-times ( 95%CI: 277.57 to 315.19 per million person-times ) and 98.79 per million person-times ( 95%CI: 87.15 to 110.43 per million person-times ) among first-time and repeat donors with positive HBsAg, and were 86.79 per million person-times ( 95%CI: 76.60 to 96.98 per million person-times ) and 28.93 per million person-times ( 95%CI: 22.63 to 35.23 per million person-times ) among first-time and repeat donors tested positive for HBV DNA, respectively. Conclusions There is still a residual risk of HBV infection transmitted through transfusion from blood donors in Hangzhou City. Nucleic acid testing may remarkably reduce the residual risk of transfusion-transmitted HBV infection in blood donors.

Objective To study the gene expression profiles of megakaryocytes(MKs) from human cord blood CD34+ cells in vitro expanded and to understand megakaryopoiesis at the molecular level. Methods CD34+ cells were isolated using density gradient centrifugation and magnetic activated cell sorting. The cells were cultured and stimulated with recombinant human TPO ( 100 ng/ml). After 12 days, the MKs fraction was separated using an anti-CD41 monoclonal antibody by immunomagnetic sorting. The gene expression profiles of MKs, non-MKs as well as meg-01 cells were studied by gene chip assay. THBSI, HOX A9,β-actin, lL-8,Annexin A6, FGF-8 were selected to validate the gene chip results by RT-PCR. Results A total of 116 genes between MKs and non-MKs cells were significantly different, 52 genes were up-regulated and 64 genes were down-regulated. In addition, 158 genes between MKs and meg-01 cells were significantly different, 71 genes were up-regulated and 87 genes were down-regulated. THBSI showed higher expression in MKs than in non-MKs. HOXA9 showed lower expression in MKs than in non-MKs. The expression of β-actin did not show any significant difference in MKs and non-MKs. IL-8 showed higher expression in MKs than in meg-01 cells, while ANXA6 showed lower expression in MKs than in meg-01 cells. The expression of FGF-8 did not show any significant difference between MKs and meg-01 cells. Conclusions MKs, non-MKs and meg-01 cells show different gene expression profiles. The regulatory genes include stress response genes,immune related genes, DNA synthesis and repair genes, metabolism genes, pro-onco genes and tumor suppressor genes.

Objective To analyze the molecular genetic basis of novel allele HLA-B * 9534 and establish the allele group specific primer PCR method. Methods Genomic DNA was extracted from whole blood by commercial DNA extraction kit. The HLA-B exons 1 to 8 coding sequences of the proband were am-plified by PCR and the amplification product was purified with double enzymes digestion and both strands of exons 2, 3 and 4 were sequenced. The exon 2-4 amplification of the HLA-B * 9534 was performed with al-lele group specific primers PCR and the PCR product was directly sequenced for exon 2 to 4. Results The proband has two HLA-B alleles. The result was assigned for HLA-B * 1518 and B * 4601 combination with a mismatch in 593A/G heterozygote by DNA sequencing of exon 2 to 4 with loci primers. After separating the two alleles of the proband with allele group specific primers polymerase chain reaction method, HLA-B * 4601 and HLA-B * 9534 alleles were identified after sequencing. The HLA-B * 9534 is identical to HLA-B * 1518 except for one nucleotide substitutions in exon 3 at position 593 A→G, this results in amino acid substitution at cedon 174 from Asn to Ser. The sequences of the novel allele have been submitted to GenBank (EU046491) and the allele has been officially nominated by the WHO Nomenclature Committee. Conclusion Identification of a novel HLA-B * 9534 allele and allele group specific primer PCR for HLA-B * 9534 was re-liable.

Objective To investigate the serological characteristics and molecular basis of the B (A)phenotype in ABO blood group and provide the data for clinical transfusion of individuals with B(A) phenotype.Methods The ABO group antigens on red cells of the proband,family members and donors were identified by monoclonal antibodies and the ABO antibodies in sera were detected by the standard A,B,O cells.The compatibility testing for the proband and donors was detected by salted test,polybrene test and antiglobulin test.The coding region of exon 6 to exon 7 in ABO gene was amplified by polymerase chain reaction(PCR) and the PCR products were sequenced.The haplotypes of proband were analyzed by cloning and sequencing.Results It was showed that both A and B antigens were detected on red cells of the proband and her two family members,and there was anti-A_1 antibody in their sera.The serological phenotype of the samples are identified as the A_2B.DNA sequencing showed 261 G/del,297A/G,526C/G,657C/T,700C/G,703G/A,796C/A,803G/C,930G/A heterozygotes in exon 6 to exon 7.It can be deduced that genotype in the proband is B(A)_(02)/O_(01).The genotypes of her mother and grandmother-in-law were B(A)_(02)/B_(101) and B(A)_(02)/O_(01),respectively.After cloning and sequencing,two alleles B(A)_(02) and O_(01) in proband was showed.B(A)_(02) has snigle nucleotide change(700 C>G),which resets replacement of proline with alanine at position 234.Two donors with phenotype A_2B were identified as genotype B(A)_(02)/O_(01) and A_(208)/B_(101),respectively.The results of crossmatch testing is in accordane between the proband and two donors and there was no clinical adverse reaction after transfusion.Conclusions 700C>G in α-1,3galactosyltransferase allele(B allde)can result in B(A)phenotype in individuals with the phenotype of A_2B.The donors in the transfusion for the individuals with B(A) phenotype should include individuals with A_2B phenotype.
