Objectives Inborn errors of metabolism (IEM) has a diverse spectrum and different incidence in different countries, the early diagnosis at presymptomatic stage is imperative to benefic patient from sequelae. Phenylke-tonuria (PKU) / hyperphenylalaninemia (HPA) is the most common metabolism disorder in Shanghai as well as in other regions. The study is to further clarify the incidence of inborn errors of metabolism among newborn in Shanghai. Methods The dried blood spot specimens were collected from near 90 local maternity and children's hospitals or general hospitals in Shanghai. PKU/HPA screening was carried out by fluorometric method. Neonatal screening using tandem mass spectrometry was performed in one of the study centers, Xinhua neonatal screening center. Results A total of 815 160 cases were screened from 2001 - 2007 in Shanghai, the incidence of PKU/HPA was 1 : 12 351. The tetrahydrobiopterin deficiency was 12.9% among hyperphenylalaninemia patients. According to the 116 000 neonatal samples data detected by tandem mass spectrometry, 20 cases were confirmed diagnosis, including 6 kinds diseases, it was PKU/HPA, maple syrup urine disease, methylmalonicacidemia, propionic acidemia, 3-methylcrotonyl-CoA carboxylase defection, and short chain aeyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency. Conclusions The pilot study shown that inborn errors of metabolism neonatal screen-ing using tandem mass was 1 : 5 800 in Shanghai, PKU/HPA was the most common disease. It is expected that the expansion of newborn screening using tandem mass spectrometry could be further considered and further improving inborn errors of metabolism preventive services in Shanghai.

Objective To identify a suspected Klebsiella variicola strain isolated from a patient with severe septic shock. Methods Sequences of rpoB, gyrA, mdh, infB, phoE and nifH genes were obtained from the clinical isolated suspected Klebsiella variicola strain, and used for constructing phylogenectic trees. Characteristics of phylogenetic trees were used to distinguish Klebsiella variicola from Klebsiella pneumoniae. Results All target gene sequences from this clinical isolated strain constantly formed a cluster with their counterparts from other Klebsiella variicola strains. These clusters were readily differentiated from Klebsiella pneumoniae clusters. Conclusions The clinical isolated strain belongs to Klebsiella variicola class and can cause septic shock. From genetic perspective, Klebsiella variicola is distinctly different from Klebsiella pneumoniae, most of which can be isolated from normal healthy people.

Objective Sphingolipidoses are a group of rare genetic disorders caused by catabolism defect of sphingolipids by lysosomal hydrolases with diverse presentations,and represent an important health problem to almost all ethnic populations. To date,there is no epidemiologic study on the prevalence of sphinglipidoses,individually,or as a group,in China. We set up a series of enzymatic assays that could make definite diagnoses with the aim to collect data for an epidemiologic investigation of sphingolipidoses and also pave the way to prenatal diagnosis to decrease the rate of inborn error of metabolism. Methods Patients with suspected sphingolipidosis were recruited from pediatric endocrinology and inherited metabolism outpatient clinics of Xinhua Hospital. Leukocytes were isolated with dextran from peripheral bloods. Activities of leukocyte acid β-glucosidase,acid sphingomyelinase,arylsulphatase A,galacto-cerebrosidase,beta-galactosidase were measured using their specific artificial fluorescent substrates,while arylsulfatase A was determined by a colorimetric assay with dipotassium 2-hydroxy-5-nitrophenyl sulfate as the substrate. Results In one year,we identified 17 patients with 5 different kinds of sphingolipidoses,including 3 patients with Gaucher disease,9 patients with Niemann-Pick type A/B,2 patients with metachromatic leukodystrophy,2 patients with Krabbe disease,and 1 patient with GM1 gangliosidosis. We made brief descriptions of disease characters of each different kind disease and compared our results with findings of other ethnic groups. Conclusions Sphinglipidoses was markedly under-diagnosed in China and general pediatricians should be alerted to sphinglipidoses.
