Objective Study on fetomaternal immuno state and RHD type of a pregnant woman of weak D phenotype.MethodsThrough polymerase chain reaction (PCR)、direct genomic DNA sequencing and flow cytometry.ResultsIn both sequence specific promer (SSP) PCR and the sequencing PCR tests, the sample was detected negative in exons 3 6 of the RHD gene, whereas all other exons (exons 1 2,7 10) were tested positive. And the sequence of detected exons (exons 1 2,7 10) are the same with normal RHD in GenBank (accession no. AJ299020 1 and AJ299026 9). Serologically and genetically, the sample can be designated as D category VI type Ⅲ. Through a duce tube PCR method, the RhD zygosity of this individual was typed CD VI e/cde。In flow cytometry, a few fetal erythrocytes were detected in peripheral blood of the mother. However there were no anti D detected in sera and hemolytic disease of the newborn(HDN) observed at all.ConclusionSevere cases of HDN have occurred in D positive babies born to partial D mother with anti D, although HDN don't take place in this case. We may still consider D VI phenotype individuals as D positive donors and D negative receiptions in our transfusion practice and in clinical anti D allo immune prophylaxis and monitoring.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the correlation between four serum fibrosis markers and liver function in patients with infantile hepatitis syndrome (IHS), and to explore the clinical significance of these markers in the diagnosis of IHS and the assessment of disease severity.

METHODSA retrospective study was performed on 60 patients with IHS who were divided into hepatic fibrosis and normal groups based on ultrasound diagnosis. Levels of four liver fibrosis markers, i.e., hyaluronic acid (HA), type III procollagen (PC-III), type IV collagen (IV.C), and laminin (LN), were compared between the two groups, and the correlation between these markers and liver function was analyzed.

RESULTSLevels of liver function markers (alanine aminotransferase (ALT), glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT), total bilirubin (TBil), direct bilirubin (DBil), indirect bilirubin (IBil), and total bile acid (TBA)) in the hepatic fibrosis group were significantly higher than those in the normal group (P<0.05). Levels of HA and IV.C in the hepatic fibrosis group were significantly higher compared with those in the normal group (P<0.05). Furthermore, HA, IV.C, and PC-III levels were positively correlated with those of ALT, TBil, GGT, DBil, IBil, and TBA (r=0.25-0.49), and the strongest correlation existed between HA/IV.C and ALT/jaundice markers.

CONCLUSIONSAssay measuring serum fibrosis markers (HA, IV.C, and PC-III) in combination with liver function tests and ultrasound examination has an important clinical value in the early diagnosis of IHS and evaluation of disease severity.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of routinely used pattern for schistosomiasis diagnosis in lake and marshland regions. Methods A historically heavy endemic village of schistosomiasis named Jinggan Village from Jiangling County was se?lected for field survey. The residents aged 6?65 years were screened by indirect hemagglutination assay(IHA)and dipstick dye immunoassay(DDIA)in parallel. The serological positives were examined by Kato?Katz technique and miracidium hatching technique to determine the infection of schistosome. The consistency of the two serological methods was evaluated. In addition , the schistosome infection rates were estimated according to the 3 detection patterns namely IHA,DDIA,IHA+DDIA combined with the etiologic examination. Results A total of 530 individuals were examined by the serological tests. The positive rate of DDIA was 46.98%(249/530),significantly higher than that of IHA(28.49%,151/530)(χ2=59.55,P<0.01). Totally 279 in?dividuals were serological positives determined by IHA or DDIA,while 252 of them were detected by stool examination,and 22 cases were determined as parasitological positives,while 7 and 3 cases were diagnosed as antibody negatives by IHA and DDIA,respectively. The estimated infection rates determined by IHA,DDIA,IHA plus DDIA combined with stool examination were 3.14%,3.97%、4.60%,respectively. Conclusions Under the condition of endemic situation becoming more and more waning,the current routinely used pattern for schistosomiasis detection may lead to missed diagnosis. So,more sensitive and ef?fective diagnostic tools or appropriate detection patterns need to be explored.

Special designed group I intron ribozymes can specifically splice objective RNA, repair the mutant gene in RNA level. The specificity of ribozyme is determined by nucleotides specific internal guide sequence (IGS) introduced to the enzyme. In this study, fragment sequence containing Tetrahymena thermophilia intron I of 26S rRNA gene was cloned and cis-splicing activity of this ribozyme was confirmed by in vitro transcription. For evaluating the trans-splicing activity of this ribozyme, a truncated mutant Green Fluorescence Protein (GFP) vector, XYQ5/XYQ10- pEGFP-C2, was constructed. This vector deleted the 3' end 564bp fragment of EGFP coding sequence, led to the lost the activity of emitting green fluorescence. Trans-splicing ribozyme plasmids ptrans-rib-CMV2 for remedy of the truncated mutant EGFP was constructed by PCR and molecular cloning techniques. This vector utilizing cloned 26S rRNA intron 1 as core enzyme; selecting T-G site at 194bp of EGFP coding sequence as splicing receptor, designed an IGS which is inversely complement to the 188-193nt of EGFP mRNA; the 195-890bp fragment of EGFP coding sequence was ligated to the 3'-end of ribozyme core. The fragment containing these components was inserted to a eukayotic expression vector pRC-CMV2. Using linearized XYQ5/XYQ10- pEGFP-C2 and ptrans-rib-CMV2 as templates, truncated EGFP mRNA and the constructed ribozyme vector were transcribed and mixed to evaluate the trans-splicing activity. Analysis of in vitro transcription products mix by RT-PCR verified the existence of wild type EGFP mRNA molecule. Co-transfection of XYQ5/XYQ10- pEGFP-C2 with ptrans-rib-CMV2 to Hela cells proved this ribozyme restored green fluorescence within cell, but the efficiency was low.
