Objective To investigate serological blood typing of the ABO locus which contradict to general law of inheritance in parentage,and the underlying reasons for severe hemolytic disease of newborn(HDN).Methods To research the family whose newborn is AB phenotypes,mother is O phenotypes and father is AB phenotypes.The familiy were genotyped by parentage tests, serological tests,PCR-SSP and direct DNA sequencing at exons 6 and 7 of ABO gene.At the salne time,HDN was detected by micro column gel Coombs (MGCT), and the primary fingerposts of the routine blood tests. Biochemical tests were dynamically observed.Results The results of parentage tests showed that three-generation pedigree have parent-child relationship. The red blood cell(RBC)of this AB phenotypes of this family members strongly agglutinated(4+)with diverse monoelonal anti-A and anti-B antibodies,and their serum did not contain anti-A and anti-B antibodies in blood anti-typing.PCR-SSP can not detect their A and B gene,but DNA sequencing at exons6 and 7 of ABO gene revealed that it had the B(A)803C→G mutation.Conclusions The genetm basis of this parentage are B(A)803G blood gene which harbored both A and B difunctionality of glyeosyhransferases.This was the first report that severe HDN resulting from a large number of A and B antigens in RBC of B(A)phenotype of a newborn,which has clinical significance on ABO locus.

OBJECTIVE:
To explore the percutaneous hollow screw internal fixation combined with cementoplasty in the treatment of periacetabular metastasis.
METHODS:
A retrospective study was performed on 16 patients with periacetabular metastasis who were treated with percutaneous hollow screw internal fixation combined with cementoplasty between May 2020 and May 2021. There were 9 males and 7 females. The age ranged from 40 to 73 years, with an average of 53.6 years. The tumor involved around the acetabulum, and 6 cases were located on the left and 10 cases on the right. Operation time, frequency of fluoroscopy, bed rest time, and complications were recorded. Before operation, and at 1 weeks, 3 months after operation, the visual analogue scale (VAS) score was used to evaluate the pain degree, the short-form 36 health survey scale (SF-36) score was used to evaluate the quality of life. At 3 months after operation, the Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS) scoring system was used to evaluate the functional recovery of patients. During follow-up, the loosening of internal fixator and bone cement leakage were observed by X-ray film.
RESULTS:
All patients were performed operation successfully. The operation time ranged from 57 to 82 minutes, with an average of 70.4 minutes. The frequency of intraoperative fluoroscopy was 16-34 times, with an average of 23.1 times. After operation, 1 case of incision hematoma and 1 case of scrotal edema occurred. All patients felt the pain relieved after operation. The patients started walking at 1-3 days after operation, with an average of 1.4 days. All patients were followed up 6-12 months (mean 9.7 months). The VAS and SF-36 scores significantly improved after operation when compared with the preoperative scores, and the scores at 3 months after operation were significant better than those at 1 week after operation ( P<0.05). At 3 months after operation, the MSTS score ranged from 9 to 27, with an average of 19.8. Among them, 3 cases were excellent (18.75%), 8 cases were good (50%), 3 cases were fair (18.75%), and 2 cases were poor (12.5%). The excellent and good rate was 68.75%. And 11 patients returned to normal walking, 3 had mild claudication, and 2 had obvious claudication. Radiological examination showed that there were 2 cases of bone cement leakage after operation, and there was no internal fixator loosening or displacement.
CONCLUSION
Percutaneous hollow screw internal fixation combined with cementoplasty can effectively relieve pain and improve the quality of life of patients with periacetabular metastasis.
