1.Progress on mechanism of airway mucus hypersecretion induced by mycoplasma pneumoniae infection
International Journal of Pediatrics 2022;49(7):461-464
The incidence rate of chronic airway inflammatory diseases caused by airway mucus hypersecretion caused by mycoplasma pneumoniae(MP) infection is increasing year by year.In this paper, the damage of MP on airway mucosa through its adhesion, migration, community acquired respiratory distress syndrome toxin(CARDS Tx)and other virulence factors is described, which directly damages the structure and function of airway epithelium and affects the metabolism of ciated cells.It can also cause the increase of airway pro-inflammatory cytokines and the up regulation of toll-like receptor, resulting in the increase of airway mucus secretion.In addition, when MP infects airway epithelial cells, it will increase mucin(MUC)production through signal transduction pathway, which will increase the secretion of MUC5AC and lead to airway mucus hypersecretion.Controling airway mucus hypersecretion caused by MP infection can reduce the occurrence of chronic airway inflammation and helpful to the treatment of refractory MP infection.

【Objective】 To investigate and analyze the polymorphism of RHD gene in RhD-negative population in Jiayuguan using molecular biological technique, so as to accurately identify RhD-negative individuals, and formulate individualized transfusion strategies. 【Methods】 The RhD negative voluntary blood donors and patients (mainly pregnant women) were recruited. After informed consent, history of blood transfusion and pregnancy of them were investigated, and samples were collected for negative D confirmation, gene sequencing as well as antibody screening and identification. 【Results】 Among the 96 samples, 73 cases were RHD gene deletion, 18 RHD*01EL.01(17 RHD1227A homozygous type and 1 RHD1227A heterozygous type), 2 weak RHD*15 type (845G/A), 1 partial D type, i. e. RHD-CE(7) -D heterozygous allele, and 2 RHD*01N.16 variant. Antibody was detected out in 4 cases, among which 2 were positive for anti-D, 1 anti-D plus anti-E, and 1 anti-Dia. 【Conclusion】 The proportion of DEL gene in RhD negative Chinese Han population in Jiayuguan is slightly lower than that in general Chinese Han population. No anti-D or RHD-HDN was observed in DEL type women due to multiple pregnancy or delivery of D positive newborns.
