OBJECTIVETo study the difference and similarity between Hans and Uighurs in regard to Rhesus box and its significance.
METHODSThe sequence specific primers of upstream, downstream and hybrid Rhesus boxes were designed on the basis of RHD gene sequence. The upstream, downstream and hybrid Rhesus boxes were determined by polymerase chain reaction-sequence specific primer(PCP-SSP) and mismatched PCR.
RESULTSThe percentage of RHD-/RHD-, RHD+/RHD- and RHD+/RHD+ genotypes ascertained in the unrelated Hans with RhD(-) were 61.40%, 34.21% and 4.39% respectively, while those in the unrelated Chinese Uighurs with RhD(-) were 94.44%, 2.78% and 2.78% respectively. Furthermore, all 6 cases of some other minorities were RHD-/RHD- types. The percentage of RHD-/RHD- and RHD+/RHD- genotypes ascertained in the unrelated Chinese Uighurs were significantly higher than those in Chinese Hans (P < 0.01), whereas no statistically significant difference in the percentage of RHD+/RDH+ genotype between the two groups was observed (P > 0.05).
CONCLUSIONThe Rh blood group of Uighurs in Xingjiang possesses both Oriental and Caucasian characteristics, which embodies a special ethnical aspect of the Chinese nation and is in accord with the anthropologic research results.

To study the method for Rhesus box test and its significance, the sequence specific primers of upstream, downstream and hybrid Rhesus boxes were designed according to RhD gene sequence; the upstream, downstream and hybrid Rhesus boxes were determined by PCP-SSP and mismatched PCR. The results showed that this method was confirmed by DNA Standard test. It was shown that in unrelative RhD positive individuals RHD(+)/RHD(-), RHD(+)/RHD(+) genotype accounted for 9.00%, 91.00% respectively, and in RhD negative individuals RHD(+)/RHD(-), RHD(+)/RHD(+), RHD(-)/RHD(-) genotype were 26.14%, 3.92%, 69.94% respectively. It is concluded that the method of Rhesus box test was confirmed to be reliable and can be used for the identification of RhD haplotype gene structure, as well as for study on inheritance, clinical transfusion and neonatal hemolytic diseases.

Umbilical cord blood stem cell transplantation (CBSCT) has made significant progress in treatment of lethal congenital or malignant disorders. Both the incidence and severity of GVHD from CBSCT were lower than that from bone marrow and peripheral blood stem cell transplantation, particularly for adult patients, but these advantages were also associated with higher rates of relapse. The immune-mediated effect of natural killer and cytotoxic T cells against residual tumor cells were shown to prevent relapse and to induce remission after bone marrow transplantation. To explore possibility of ex vivo expansion of T, NK and CD34(+) cells from umbilical cord blood, cord blood was expanded ex vivo with different combinations of cytokines, T and NK cells proliferation and differentiation were observed. CB MNCs were separated in Ficoll-Isopaque column and cultured in IMDM for 14 days with different recombinant cytokines. Cultured cells were collected and analyzed for progenitor/stem cell immunophenotyping at day 0, 3, 7, and 14 by using flow cytometry. The results indicated that all test groups cultured with different combinations of SCF, IL-3, IL-6, IL-7, IL-2 showed significant expansion of UCB MNC, compared with the group without cytokines. All test groups showed expansion effects on CD34(+) cells, CD34(+) percentage went up from 1.6% in fresh CB to the highest 11.9% in group D (SCF + IL-3, IL-6, IL-2). The CD34(+) cells peak displayed at day 7 of culture in group A and D, while in other two groups B and C appeared at day 14 of culture. The expansion multiple of CD34(+) cells in all test groups at day 7 of culture were from 10 to 50. The average value of CD3(+) T cell in fresh UCB was 18.7 +/- 4.3%, the CD3(+) T cells decreased sharply in the medium without any interleukin, while obvious increase were observed in the other test groups containing different combinations of cytokines. The maximal expansion multiple of CD3(+) T cells reached 2 times of the fresh UCB level. CD56(+) cells amounted to 3.6 +/- 1.9% of fresh UCB, CD56(+) cell number increased significantly only in medium containing IL-2. It is concluded that T cells, NK cells as well as stem/progenitor cells can be expanded in the same time from CB-MNC with the combinations of cytokines.

OBJECTIVETo research comparatively on the RHD gene structures in unrelated RhD negative individuals of Chinese Uigur and Han population.
METHODSThe upstream, downstream, hybrid box and 10 exons of RHD gene were detected with sequence specific primer-PCR technique.
RESULTSThe results showed the genotypes of RhD negative individuals to have the significant difference between Chinese Uigur and Han population, that 94.44% Uigur individuals were with RHD(-)/RHD(-) genotype but just 61.40% Han population were with this genotype(94.44% versus 61.40%, P<0.01); 2.78% Uigur individuals were with RHD(+)/RHD(-) genotype but 34.21% Han population were with this genotype(2.78% versus 34.21%, P<0.01). However, there was significantly no RHD(+)/RHD(+) genotype difference between Chinese Uigur and Han population(2.78% versus 4.39%, P>0.05). In 78 cases of RhD negative Chinese Hans with single RHD gene, of which the RHD gene structure showed that 53(67.95%) cases were RHD(1-10) allele(of 53 RHD(1-10) alleles, 14 alleles were unexpressed); 15(19.23%) were RHD-CE(2-9)-D(2) allele; 5(6.41%) cases were RHD-CE(2-7)-D(2) allele; 2(2.56%) were similar to RHD-CE(3-6)D allele; 1(1.28%) case was RHD-CE(5-6)-D allele; and 2(2.56%) were RHD-CE(6)-D or point mutation respectively. Of 2 RhD negative Chinese Uigurs with RhD(-)/RHD(+) genotype, one carried RHD(1-10) allele, another carried RHD-CE(2-9)-D(2) allele.
CONCLUSIONThe most frequently unexpressed RHD alleles were RHD-CE(2-9)-D(2), RHD(1-10) and RHD-CE(2-7)-D(2) respectively in Chinese Han population who carried single RHD allele with RHD(-) phenotype and RHD(+) genotype. It showed the confluent character of RH gene in Chinese Han and Uigur population that there existed unexpressed RHD-CE(2-9)-D(2) allele in Chinese Uigur nationality, which was infrequent in Chinese Uigur population but frequent in Chinese Han population.

To observe the gene polymorphism of Rh blood group in unrelated random individuals and families for Chinese Han nationality, polymerase chain reaction-sequence specific primer (PCR-SSP) was used to amplify the Rh C/E gene, RhD gene, exons, intron 2 and 10, insert and Rh Box in 160 blood samples of RhD positive unrelated individuals and 71 samples of RhD negative unrelated individuals and 7 samples of families whose probands were RhD-negative. The results showed that RhD genes of RhD-negative individuals with C antigens were polymorphism, three forms were found for D exon including intact, partial deletion and complete deletion exons. Insert fragments and Rh Box were found in most cases of families whose probands were RhD-negative and its inheritance accorded with the Mendel's Law, and it did not affect the expression of RhD gene. "Normal" RhD exon 4 amplifying product was not found in all of the samples. It was concluded that gene structure of the RhD-negative in Chinese was polymorphism, intact, partial deletion and complete deletion exons were found in the individuals with C antigen and probably existed specific D (nf) Ce haplotype. The function of insert was uncertain. The Rh gene sequences of Chinese Han nationality are different from those of Caucasian and the Rh gene library based on Han nationality should be established.

Aim of this study was to develop the detection method of soluble human leukocyte antigens I (sHLA-I) and to explore sHLA-I level alteration in storage blood and its significance. sHLA-I level in sera of 60 Guangdong normal individuals and sHLA-I concentration in blood components from 20 donors quantitatively were detected by sandwich ELISA. The results showed that sensitivity of this assay was 2.84 ng/ml. Coefficients of variation were 5.80% within assays and 9.00% between assays respectively. The recovery rate was >/= 98.57%. The sHLA-I level of normal individuals in Guangdong was (699.54 +/- 360.10) ng/ml. sHLA-I in red blood cells stored for 28 days and in random-donor platelets were significantly higher than that in other blood components and their amount was proportionate to the number of residual donor leukocytes and to the length of storage. In conclusion, sandwich ELISA assay for detection of sHLA-I is a sensitive, specific and stable technique. Blood components with different concentration of sHLA-I may be chosen for clinical transfusion.

OBJECTIVETo genotype the RHCE gene of Hans, Xinjiang's Uigurs and Kazakstans in China, and to compare the results of RHCE genotyping with that of RhCc/Ee phenotyping.
METHODSRHCE genes of 98 Hans with RhD positive and 230 Hans, 72 Uigurs and 18 Kazakstans with RhD/RHD negative were genotyped with PCR-sequence specific primer (SSP) technique.
RESULTSThe results of RHE/RHe genotyping from samples with RhD positive and negative were in accord with that of phenotyping. It would result in 4.44% error using C-->G polymorphism at nt48 of RHCE gene to genotype RHCE, and 4.05% failure of detection using the 109 bp insertion to detectRHCE gene in Chinese Hans. The results of RHE/RHe genotyping in unrelated 72 Uigurs and 18 Kazakstans with RhD phenotype were consistent with that of phenotyping, and false positive and false negative were not found in genotyping in Uigurs and Kazakstans tested.
CONCLUSIONThe results of RHE/RHe and RHc genotyping were correct with PCR-SSP and accordant with that of phenotyping. Using the C48G polymorphism in exon 1 of RHCE to genotype RHC gene would result in false positive resulting from RHc mutation at this locus, and using the 109 bp insertion to genotype RHC gene would result in false negative because of the absence of the 109 bp. Therefore it is necessary to genotype RHC gene using more than two polymorphic loci.

Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) has a high incidence of cervical micrometastases and sometimes metastasizes contralaterally because of the rich lymphatic intercommunications relative to submucosal plexus of oral cavity that freely communicate across the midline, and it can facilitate the spread of neoplastic cells to any area of the neck consequently. Clinical and histopathologic factors continue to provide predictive information to contralateral neck metastases (CLNM) in OSCC, which determine prophylactic and adjuvant treatments for an individual patient. This review describes the predictive value of clinical-histopathologic factors, which relate to primary tumor and cervical lymph nodes, and surgical dissection and adjuvant treatments. In addition, the indications for elective contralateral neck dissection and adjuvant radiotherapy (aRT) and strategies for follow-up are offered, which is strongly focused by clinicians to prevent later CLNM and poor prognosis subsequently.

An ultra performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometric (UPLC-MS/MS) method was developed for the determination of 11 kinds of aminoglycosides (AGs), including paromomycin, spectinomycin, tobramycin, gentamycin, kanamycin, hygromycin B, apramycin, streptomycin, dihydrostreptomycin,amikacin and neomycin in aquatic products. Samples were extracted by phosphate buffer solution, and purified on molecularly imprinted polymers (MIP) solid phase extraction column. After separated by Obelisc R chromatographic column, AGs were detected by UPLC-MS/MS. It showed a good linearity relationship in the AGs concentration range of 1.0-1000 ng/mL with the correlation coefficient R2>0.994. The limit of detection (LOD,S/N≥3) was ranged from 1.0 μg/kg to 10.0 μg/kg,and the limit of quantitation (LOQ,S/N≥10) was ranged from 2.0 μg/kg to 20.0 μg/kg. Besides, the average recoveries presented 78.4%-109.6% with the relative standard deviation (RSD, n=6) of 2.3%-14.9%. This method was successfully applied to the simultaneous determination of 11 kinds of AGs with high sensitivity in aquatic products.
