Objective To identify the gene mutations of platelet membrane glycoprotein Ⅱ b,Ⅲa(GPⅡb/Ⅲa)in three Chinese pedigrees with Glanzmann thrombastIlenia.Methods All exons and exonintron boundaries of GP Ⅱ b/Ⅲ a gene were amplified by PCR analysis followed by DNA sequencing.DNA sequencing was used to exclude gene polymorphisms.Results The probands in the three pedigrees had a normal platelet count,coagulation profiles,scattered platelets on the blood film,a prolonged cutaneous bleeding time,and impaired or minimal ex vivo platelet aggregation in response to ADP,thrombin,collagen,adrenaline and arachidonic acid,but normal platelet aggregation in response to ristoeetin.Both FACS and Western blotting demonstrated trace content of αⅡb in the platelets from proband 1 and proband 3,who were classified as type Ⅰ GT,and a small amount of αⅡb in the platelets from proband 2,who was classified as type Ⅱ GT.Compound heterozygous mutations,T2255G(Leu721Arg)and C2671T(Gln860Stop)were identified in proband 1.The proband 2 had homozygous A2334C(Gln747Pro)missense mutation.Nonsense mutations C1750T (Arg584Stop)and 69-79 deletion mutation were identified in proband 3. Conclusions Compound heterozygous mutations T2255G and C2671T of αⅡb gene lead to type Ⅰ Glanzmann thrombasthenia for proband 1. Homozygous mutation A2334C of αⅡb gene leads to type Ⅱ Glanzmann thrombasthenia for proband 2. Compound heterozygous mutations C1750T and 69-79del αⅡb gene lead to type Ⅰ Glanzmann thrombasthenia for proband 3. T2255G,C1671T and 69-79del aye novel mutations for αⅡb gene.

Objective To analyze the phenotype and genotype of three patients with yon Willebrand disease (vWD),and to explore its molecular pathogenesis.Methods Bleeding time (BT),APTT,ristocetin induced platelet aggregation (RIPA),von Willebrand factor (vWF):ristocetin cofactor (Rco)(vWF∶ Rco),vWF antigen (vWF∶ Ag),vWF activity (vWF∶ A) test,vWF collagen binding assay (vWF∶ CB) and multimer analysis were detected for phenotype diagnosis.The dynamic process of blood coagulation was evaluated by using the thrombelastography.Genomic DNA was extracted from the peripheral blood.The vWF gene mutation was detected by sequencing.Results APTT,BT were prolonged in the three probands.Plasma vWF∶ Rco,vWF∶ Ag,vWF∶ A and vWF∶ CB were decreased in different degrees.RIPA was reduced in probands B and C.vWF multimer analysis found the lost of the large molecular weight multimers in proband B,while basically normal in probands A and C.The dynamic process of blood coagulation of proband C presented obvious hypocoagulability by using the thrombelastography.Heterozygous missense mutation g.106782G ＞ T resulting in Cys1130Phe in exon 26,g.110988G ＞ A resulting in Gly1579Arg in exon 28 and g.110373C ＞T resulting in Arg1374Cys in exon 28 were found in the probands A,B and C,respectively.Conclusion Three probands were diagnosed as type 1,type 2A or type 2MvWD by phenotype detection.Heterozygous missense mutation Cys1130Phe,Gly1579Arg and Arg1374Cys induced vWD of three probands,respectively.

Objective To analyze the phenotype and genotype of a Chinese family with inherited hypofibrinogenemia,and to investigate its molecular mechanism.Methods Peripheral blood was collected from seven people of this family and then plasma was separated.Activated partial thromboplastin time ( APTT),prothrombin time ( PT),thrombin time ( TT),reptilase time ( RT),the activities of antithrombin( AT∶ A ),protein C ( PC ∶ A ) and protein S ( PS ∶ A ) were tested.The activity and antigen of plasma fibrinogen were analyzed by Clauss method and immunoturbidimetry method,respectively.The fibrinogen peptide chain of the proband was semiquantitatively assessed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis(SDS-PAGE).Thrombin generation test was performed by calibrated automated thromhogram.The dynamic process of blood coagulation was evaluated by the thrombelastography (TEG).Genomic DNA was extracted from the peripheral blood.The sequences of all the exons and exon-intron boundaries of the three fibrinogen genes FGA,FGB and FGG were amplified by polymerase chain reaction ( PCR ) and analyzed by direct sequen(c)ing.Results The activity and the antigen levels of the proband' s plasma fibrinogen were reduced to 0.48 g/L and 0.68 g/L,respectively.TT prolonged to 29.2 s and RT prolonged to 75.8 s.The assays of SDS-PAGE showed no abnormal molecular weight of fibrinogen.Peak height of thrombin generation was reduced to 249.93 nmol/L and endogenous thrombin potential was reduced to 1007.0 nmol · L-1 · min.Hypocoagulability state of the whole blood was found by TEG test.The coagulation index was - 8.6.The proband was diagnosed as inherited hypofibrinogenemia by phenotype analysis.Two mutations (Gln143Pro and g.4642delC) were found in the proband's fibrinogen Aa-chain gene,Gln143Pro came from her mother and g.4642delC came form her father.Conclusion Compound Heterozygous Mutations (Gln143Pro and g.4642delC ) of fibrinogen Aa-chain causes the proband congenital hypofibrinogenemia.

OBJECTIVE To explore the clinical effect of concurrent chemoradiotherapy combined with nituzumab in the treatment of locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma in Guangxi,Yunnan and Guizhou.METHODS A total of 80 patients with locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma who were pathologically confirmed and admitted to Affiliated Hospital of Youjiang Ethnomedicine from July 2021 to July 2022 from ethnic minority areas near the border of Guangxi,Yunnan and Guizhou were selected as the subjects of this study.They were randomly divided into control group(standard concurrent chemoradiotherapy)and observation group(combined treatment with nituzumab on the basis of control group),with 40 cases in each group.The levels of tumor markers,oxidative stress indicators,adverse reactions,complications,and recent clinical efficacy of the two groups were compared.RESULTS After treatment,the levels of superoxide dismutase(SOD),cytokeratin 19 fragment antigen21-1(CYFRA21-1),squamous cell carcinoma associated antigen(SCCAg)and serum ferritin(SF)were significantly decreased in both groups,while nitric oxide(NO)and malondialdehyde(MDA)were significantly increased.The levels of SCCAg,SF,CYFRA21-1,NO and MDA in observation group were lower than those in control group,and the level of SOD was higher than those in control group(P<0.05).Compared with the control group,the objective response rate(ORR)in the observation group was increased(P<0.05).There was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups(P>0.05).There was no significant difference in the incidence of complications between the two groups(P>0.05).CONCLUSION Concurrent chemoradiotherapy combined with nituzumab can effectively improve the short-term survival rate and clinical efficacy of patients with locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma,regulate tumor markers and oxidative stress levels,and alleviate the disease.

Objective To investigate human papillomavirus(HPV)infection in Jiading District of Shang-hai,and to explore the relationship between different HPV subtypes and cervical lesions.Methods A retro-spective analysis was conducted for HPV subtype results and pathological results during the same period of time from 19 030 patients who visited Maternity and Children Health Care Hospital of Jiading District from March 13th,2023 to March 31,2024,and underwent the HPV subtype detection.The relationship between HPV infection and age and cervical lesions were analyzed.Results Out of 19 030 samples,3 506 were HPV positive,and the infection rate was 18.42%.There were 2 185 cases of single infection and 1 321 cases of mul-tiple infection.The HPV infection rate in each age group were as below:the infection rates were 30.34%in≤20-year-old group,18.46%in 20-30 year-old group,16.46%in>30-40 year-old group,14.83%in>40-50 year-old group,21.29%in>50-60 year-old group and 32.74%in>60 year-old group,and there was a statistically significant difference in HPV infection rates among different age groups(P<0.001).The top 5 subtypes were type 52(21.50%),53(10.84%),58(10.02%),33(8.33%)and 59(6.85%).The proportions of the who progressed to higher-level cervical lesions in individuals with HPV subtypes of the top 5 infection rates,as well as those with HPV16 and 18 positive,were significantly higher than that in HPV negative indi-viduals,among which the individuals with HPV16,18,58,and 33 were more likely to progress to severe cervi-cal lesions[atypical squamous cells:cannot exclude high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion(ASC-H)+low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion(LSIL)+high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion(HSIL)+squamous cell carcinoma(SCC)](P<0.05).Compared to HPV 52 positive individuals with the highest infection rate,HPV 16,18,58,and 33 positive individuals were more likely to progress to higher-level cervical lesions(P<0.05).Conclusion HPV infection rates in≤20 year-old group and>60 year-old group are relatively high in Jiading District of Shanghai.The risk of progression to cervical lesions varies among different HPV subtypes.In addition to HPV 16 and 18,HPV 58 and HPV 33 are also closely related to higher levels of cervical lesions and should be given sufficient attention.

Domestic and foreign literatures related to the persistence of SARS-CoV-2 and the re-positive cases infected with SARS-CoV-2 were reviewed, and the characteristics and infectivity of the re-positive cases were analyzed to provide scientific evidence for the improvement of case management and the development of measures to stop the spread of SARS-CoV-2. Existing studies have shown that re-positive rate of SARS-CoV-2 ranged from 2.4% to 19.8%, the median of interval between re-positive detection and discharge was 4-15 days. Following the second course of the disease, the anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgM, IgG and IgA positive rates of the cases were 11.11%-86.08%, 52.00%-100.00% and 61.54%-100.00% respectively, the total antibody and neutralizing antibody positive rates were 98.72% and 88.46%. The viral load of the re-positive cases was lower than that in the initial infection. At least 3 380 re-positive cases have been reported globally. SARS-CoV-2 strains were isolated from the samples of 3 re-positive cases (1 immunodeficiency case and 2 cases with abnormal pulmonary imaging). There were close contacts that were infected by an asymptomatic case taking immunosuppressive agents. In conclusion, the infectivity of re-positive cases infected with SARS-CoV-2 is generally very low. Rare re-positive cases infected with SARS-CoV-2 might cause further transmission. The management approach for the re-positive cases can be based on the assessment of the individual transmission risk according to the pathogen detection results.
