ObjectiveTo analyze the distribution characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) constitution and factors associated with hyperuricemia (HUA) in the HUA population, providing a reference for persona-lized prevention and management of HUA. MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted among individuals who had completed both serum uric acid (SUA) testing and TCM constitution identification during health examinations. According to SUA levels, participants were divided into a hyperuricemia group and a normal SUA group; according to the constitution identification results, participants were classified into balanced constitution, single biased constitution, and mixed constitution. The distribution characteristics of TCM constitution were compared between the two groups; participants in the hyperuricemia group were stratified by sex and age (≥18 years and <40 years, ≥40 years), and the distribution characteristics of TCM constitution were compared across different sex and age groups. Logistic regression was used to analyze factors associated with HUA, with further stratified analyses by sex and age. ResultsA total of 10 920 participants were included, comprising 4170 cases (38.19%) in the hyperuricemia group and 6750 cases (61.81%) in the normal serum uric acid group. According to TCM constitution, there were 420 cases (3.85%) with balanced constitution, 6108 cases (55.93%) with single biased constitution, and 4392 cases (40.22%) with mixed constitution. In the hyperuricemia group, there were 80 cases (19.05%) with balanced constitution; 2275 cases (37.25%) with single biased constitution, among which damp-heat constitution (1205 cases, 52.97%), phlegm-dampness constitution (500 cases, 21.98%), and qi-stagnation constitution (181 cases, 7.96%) accounted for relatively high proportions; and 1815 cases (41.33%) with mixed constitution, among which mixed constitution involving phlegm-dampness (51.35%, 932 cases), mixed constitution involving blood stasis (47.00%, 853 cases), and mixed constitution involving damp-heat (41.21%, 748 cases) accounted for relatively high proportions. Logistic regression showed that qi-stagnation constitution (OR=1.68), mixed constitution involving qi-stagnation (OR=1.53), mixed constitution involving phlegm-dampness (OR=1.55), and mixed constitution involving blood stasis (OR=1.50) were independently associated with HUA (P<0.05). Sex-stratified analysis showed that mixed constitution involving phlegm-dampness was positively associated with HUA risk in females; age-stratified analysis showed that, among individuals aged ≥18 and <40 years, qi-stagnation constitution, mixed constitution involving qi stagnation, and mixed constitution involving phlegm-dampness were positively associated with HUA risk (all P<0.05). ConclusionThe prevalence of HUA differs markedly by sex and age. Mixed constitution accounts for a higher proportion of HUA patients. Qi-stagnation constitution, mixed constitution involving qi stagnation, mixed constitution involving phlegm-dampness, and mixed constitution involving blood stasis are associated with HUA. Notably, the specific association of mixed constitution involving phlegm-dampness in females and qi-stagnation constitution in young adults is particularly prominent.

BackgroundAttention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by age-inappropriate inattention, excessive activities incongruous with setting, and emotional impulsivity. Subthreshold ADHD (sADHD) is clinically defined as the presence of ADHD symptoms that do not meet the full diagnostic criteria for ADHD. Children with sADHD exhibit deficits in executive function, demonstrate more conduct, learning, and anxiety-related problems compared to typically developing children, and show even poorer working memory performance than children diagnosed with ADHD. Currently, there is limited epidemiological research on sADHD in China, with few studies simultaneously investigating the prevalence of both ADHD and sADHD in children. ObjectiveTo investigate the prevalence of ADHD and sADHD among children aged 6–13 years in Chongqing, analyzing their distribution characteristics within this population, with the aim of providing references for developing preventive measures against both ADHD and sADHD. MethodsFrom October to November 2023, a total of 3 398 students in grades 1–6 from six primary schools in Jiangbei District, Chongqing were selected using a stratified cluster random sampling method. The occurrence of ADHD and sADHD was evaluated by using the short version (18-item version) of the Swanson, Nolan, and Pelham IV rating scales (SNAP-IV) and the Chinese vision of Schedule for Affective Disorder and Schizophrenia for School-aged Children-Present and Lifetime Version (K-SADS-PL). ResultsThe ADHD detection rate among children in Chongqing was 1.90% (95% CI: 0.014–0.024). Boys showed a significantly higher ADHD detection rate than girls (χ2=7.733, P=0.005). No statistically significant differences were found in ADHD detection rates across different grades or age groups (χ2=7.347, 12.362, P>0.05). The sADHD detection rate was 6.32% (95% CI: 0.054–0.072). Similarly, boys exhibited significantly higher sADHD detection rates than girls (χ2=21.005, P<0.01). Significant differences emerged across different grades (χ2=20.559, P=0.001), while no statistically significant difference was observed in age groups (χ2=12.070, P=0.060). ConclusionThe ADHD detection rates were comparable across all grade levels and age groups from 6–13 years old. Second-grade children demonstrated notably higher sADHD rates compared to other grades, while boys demonstrated higher prevalence rates than girls for both ADHD and sADHD.

Objective To investigate the serological and molecular characteristics of twenty blood samples carrying ABO?AW.37 allele and to analyze ABO allelic enhancement.Methods The ABO phenotype of the twenty samples was de-termined by serological methods and the genotype of 1-7 ABO exons was analyzed by Sanger sequencing.Results Sequen-cing analysis showed that all twenty samples contained a c.940A>G(p.Lys314Glu)mutation of A allele,which was defined as ABO?AW.37.When ABO?AW.37 and B alleles were inherited simultaneously in 9 cases,in forward typing anti-A anti-bodies all agglutinated and the serological phenotype was Aw B.Among the 11 cases with ABO?AW.37 and O alleles inherited simultaneously,there was no agglutination of anti-A in forward typing.For absorption and elution tests,5 cases were weakly positive and the serological phenotype was Ael,while 6 cases were negative for absorption and elution tests and the serologi-cal phenotype was O type.Conclusion Allelic enhancement occured when both ABO?AW.37 allele and B allele were in-herited simultaneously.When ABO? AW.37 was inherited simultaneously with O allele,the serological phenotype was Aelor O type and attention should be paid to blood type identification.

Proband 1, female, 51 years old, with no history of blood transfusion and history of pregnancy, was in acute phase of chronic myelogenous leukemia; Proband 2, male, 53 years old, with no history of blood transfusion, was a patient with liver cancer. Probands 1 and 2 showed mixed appearance with forward typing in routine ABO blood group identification, and the hospital sent samples to our blood center for further identification. The experiment found that proband 1' s forward type was A with mixed appearance, while its reverse type was A, and proband 2' s foward type was B with mixed appearance, while its reverse type was B. Two probands were tested with short tandem repeat (STR) to exclude the mixed appearance image caused by chimera. ABO blood group identification was performed on Proband 1's parents. Subsequently, exon 1-7 of ABO gene was sequenced in two probands, and the results showed that probands 1 and 2 were O01/O01, which was inconsistent with the serological results. Primers were designed for ABO blood group gene A102 specific site 467 and B101 specific site 526, and the A102 and B101 alleles damaged by diseases were detected in proband 1 and proband 2. It is speculated that the reason for the inconsistency between ABO blood group serology and gene sequencing results may be the loss of heterozygosity (LOH) of ABO blood group genes caused by diseases.

Objective:To analyze the mutation types and distribution characteristics of thalassemia gene among high-risk populations in Sanya City, and to evaluate the effectiveness of blood routine screening, in order to provide scientific basis for formulating measures for prevention and control of thalassemia in Sanya City.Methods:Retrospective analysis was used to collect detection results and clinical data from high-risk individuals who completed genetic screening for thalassemia at Sanya Materal and Child Health Hospital from January 2019 to August 2021. Mutation types and distribution characteristics of thalassemia gene were analyzed, and the missed detection rate and sensitivity of blood routine indicators [mean corpuscular volume (MCV) and mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH)] were evaluated based on the results of genetic screening for thalassemia.Results:A total of 5 760 high-risk individuals were included in the screening results of thalassemia genes, and 3 868 samples of thalassemia gene mutations were detected, with a detection rate of 67.15%. Among them, there were 2 979 samples with α-thalassemia genetic mutations, with a detection rate of 51.72%; including 2 966 common genotype samples (99.56%), the main genotype was αα/-α 3.7 (20.14%, 600/2 979); 13 rare genotype samples (0.44%), 4 cases of αα/-- THAI, 3 cases of α CD40(AAG>AA-)α/αα, 2 cases of α PPα/αα, and 1 case of Fusion gene/αα, Fusion gene/α WSα, α WSα/α PPα, and α CD40(AAG>AA-)α/α WSα each. There were 340 samples with β-thalassemia gene mutations, with a detection rate of 5.90%; including 336 common genotype samples (98.82%). The β CD41/42/β N genotype was dominant (57.65%, 196/340); 4 rare genotype samples (1.18%), β CD5(-CT)/β N, β IVS-Ⅱ-2(-T)/β N, β IVS-Ⅱ-761(-T)/β N and β Initiation(ATG>AGG)/β N 1 case each. There were 549 samples of αβ-compound type thalassemia, with a detection rate of 9.53%. The α missing recombination β CD41/42 genotype was dominant (61.02%, 335/549). There were a total of 4 226 samples that could be traced back to MCV and MCH. Among them, 3 007 samples were found to have mutations in thalassemia genes through screening, 2 584 cases were found to have abnormalities in the combination of MCV and MCH indicators, and 423 samples were missed in blood routine screening, with a missed detection rate of 14.07% (423/3 007). The missed samples were mainly α static type, accounting for 89.13% (377/423) of the total missed samples. The screening sensitivity of MCV combined with MCH for α-, β- and αβ-compound type thalassemia was 82.65%, 98.07% and 98.15%, respectively. Conclusion:The types of genetic mutations in thalassemia in Sanya City are complex and diverse, and there are certain omissions in the blood routine screening of MCV combined with MCH.
