Radiotherapy is an important auxiliary treatment for glioma. Although comprehensive treatment of glioma has made some progress in recent years, the prognosis is still poor. How to improve the radiosensitivity of glioma is one of the hot spots in current glioma research. The changes of energy metabolism in gliomas promote malignant progression and resistance to chemoradiotherapy, but the exact mechanism is still unclear. This paper reviews the research progress of energy metabolism in gliomas and its relation with radiosensitivity of gliomas, in order to lay a foundation for further exploration of improving radiosensitivity of gliomas.

【Objective】 To investigate the family inheritance of α-Thalassemla gene and the risk of severe anemia in neonates caused by cold IgG anti-M. 【Methods】 ABO, Rh, MN blood groups and the specificity of unexpected antibody were identified by blood group serology. The IgG subtype and antibody titer of anti-M antibody were detected. The etiology of neonatal hemolytic disease was identified by three tests and α-Thalassemla gene diagnosis. 【Results】 Family investigation showed that father was B, CCDee, MN with no α-Thalassemla gene detected; Mother B, CcDee, NN, carrying α-Thalassemla gene; both the proband and his brother were B, CCDee, MN, carrying α-Thalassemla gene. Cold IgG anti-M was present in plasma of both the mother and the proband. The titer of the mother was 128 and that of the proband was 64. The subtype of IgG anti-M was IgG1 and IgG3. The direct anti-globulin test, release test and free test of the proband and his brother were negative, and the diagnosis was severe anemia and hemolysis caused by α-Thalassemla combined with cold IgG anti-M. 【Conclusion】 The direct antiglobulin test of neonatal hemolytic disease caused by IgG anti-M can be negative or weakly positive, and α-Thalassemla gene could be hereditary in families. The presence of α-Thalassemla gene can cause anemia, hemolysis and splenomegalysis in neonates, which could be aggravated when accompanied by cold-type IgG anti-M. In the presence of high-valency IgG antibody in plasma, blood exchange combined with transfusion can improve the curative effect.

【Objective】 To study the concordance of identifying the presence or absence of KIR genes using flow reverse sequence-specific oligonucleotide probe (Flow-rSSO) hybridization and sequencing based typing-PCR (PCR-SBT) methods. 【Methods】 A total number of 131 cases of DNA samples from Han population were subjected to identify the presence or absence of all 16 KIR genes by Flow-rSSO method, and then sequenced at coding sequence for all 14 functional KIR genes using our in-house KIR PCR-SBT assay. The concordance of identifying the presence or absence of all functional KIR genes by Flow-rSSO and PCR-SBT was analyzed. Samples with inconsistent initial results were re-tested using the Flow-rSSO commercial kits with different Lot number, and further tested using the PCR-SSP commercial kit. 【Results】 The presence or absence of 14 functional KIR genes for 129 of 131 samples were completely in accordance via the PCR-SBT and Flow-rSSO methods. Two samples, one with 3DL1 negative, the other with both 2DS3 and 2DS5 negative initially-identified by Flow-rSSO, were actually all positive tested by PCR-SBT. Further retest by Flow-rSSO commercial kits with different Lot number and PCR-SSP commercial kit indicated that the two samples were all positive, which agreed well with PCR-SBT results. 【Conclusion】 In this paper, the initial test results of the presence or absence of KIR genes identified by Flow-rSSO for 2 samples were wrong, which indicated the importance of carrying out the quality control for reagents in KIR gene testing.
