[Objective] To conduct serological identification and molecular mechanism study on a ambiguous ABO blood group. [Methods] Standard serological techniques were used for the forward and reverse typing of ABO blood type. ABO gene coding and regulatory regions were analyzed by PCR after DNA extraction. Monoclonal sequencing was used to detect the haplotypes of the DNA sequence, and bioinformatics analysis was applied to predict the possible translation outcomes of the mutated DNA sequence. [Results] The sample’s red blood cells showed mixed field agglutination with anti-A, and the serum agglutinated with B cells, exhibiting serological characteristics of subtype A. Direct sequencing and monoclonal sequencing analysis of the ABO gene confirmed one allele as O02, the other had a c.27delC mutation compared with A102, which could cause the translation sequence to terminate prematurely at the 19th amino acids. Analysis and prediction suggested that the mutation might affect the function of the transferase through mechanisms such as shifting the initiation codon, altering the reading frame and affecting the splice sites. [Conclusion] This case is a rare A subtype caused by the c.27delC variation, and the impact on the glycosyltransferase may involve multiple mechanisms, which require further research and exploration.

Objective: To establish a "regular blood donor red blood cell gene database"(hereafter referred to as the "database") by applying molecular biology techniques for red blood cell antigens genotyping and utilizing information technology software, and to determine the significance and application value of this "database" in precise red blood cell transfusion. Methods: Fifteen antigens [C, c, E, e, M, N, S, s, Fy (a), Fy (b), Jk (a), Jk (b), Le (a), Le (b), P1] across six blood group systems (RHCE, MNS, FY, JK, Lewis and P1PK) were detected among 9 426 regular blood donors using the TaqMan-MGB method combined with an improved U-shaped microplate approach. With the assistance of information technology software, the "database" was integrated into the overall inventory management system of the blood supply chain. This enabled comprehensive management of regular blood donor and patient information, test results, specific antigen screening for regular blood donors, graded antigen matching between donors and patients, and rare blood type donor records. Results: The TaqMan-MGB method successfully detected paired antigens (C/c, E/e, M/N, S/s, Fy
/Fy
, Jk
/Jk
) within a single reaction well using a standardized PCR amplification protocol. This method provided a reliable testing solution for clinical institutions and empowered blood collection and supply organizations with high-throughput screening capabilities. In the blood supply chain, genotyped red blood cells accounted for 13.2% (721/5 462 U) of the total inventory, with 95.34% (348/365) originating from donors who donated two units of blood. Moreover, the “database” fulfilled 94.06% (443/471 U) of compatible transfusion requirements from medical institutions and effectively managed rare blood type donors. Conclusion: The establishment of the "database" facilitated the transition of blood compatibility testing from traditional serological methods to molecular biology-based gold standard techniques, significantly advancing the implementation of precise transfusion strategies based on multi-antigen matching between donors and patients.

Objective: To perform serological identification and molecular analysis of four samples with antibodies against high-frequency antigens, and to track the condition of newborns after delivery. Methods: Blood group serological tests were conducted using tube method, and unexpected antibody screening and identification were performed using polybrene and human globulin card. Gene haplotype analysis of blood group system was performed using PacBio third-generation sequencing. The DNA mutations were confirmed through Sanger sequencing. Results: Four samples showed normal blood types in common blood type systems. However, they were positive in all unexpected antibody screening and identification, with negative direct antiglobulin tests results. Third-generation sequencing revealed 3 cases of c.376C>T homozygous mutation and 1 case of c.421C>A homozygous mutation in the ABCG2 gene. Three pregnant women gave birth to four children, all of whom developed hyperbilirubinemia, accompanied by decreased red blood cell count and normal or low hemoglobin concentration. Conclusion: Four samples were obtained from individuals with the rare Jr(a-) blood group. Immunization during pregnancy led to the production of anti-Jr
antibody, which may contribute to hyperbilirubinemia in newborns.

【Objective】 To conduct serological identification and molecular study of two patients with ABO ambiguous blood group. 【Methods】 The serological tests were conducted by the tube method. DNA direct sequencing was performed to analyze the exons and transcriptional regulatory regions of the ABO gene. TA clone sequencing was performed to confirm the mutation sites of the haploid. DeepTMHMM was used for transmembrane region prediction and analysis. 【Results】 Both samples showed weak agglutination with anti-A in forward typing and the presence of anti-A antibodies in reverse typing. ABO gene analysis confirmed 1A>G and 467C>T mutations of A101 gene, indicating the Aw43 allele.DeepTMHMM analysis showed that 1A>G mutation shift back the translation start site, which would affect the transmembrane structure seriously. 【Conclusion】 The two cases of ABO ambiguous blood group were with Aw43 alleles. The 1A>G mutation affected the transmembrane region and subsequently altered the glycoprotein structure, resulting in impaired enzyme function.

Objective:To compare the clinical efficacy between radiofrequency ablation(RFA)and pulmonary metastasectomy in the colorectal cancer(CRC)patients with lung metastases after radical resection. Methods:The clinical data of 80 CRC patients with lung metastases after radical resection were analyzed retrospectively,and were divided into the surgery group(33 cases)and the RFA group(47 cases)according to the local treatment.The overall survival(OS)and progression-free survival(PFS)of the two groups were compared,as well as the prognostic factors of patients were analyzed. Results:The 3-year PFS and OS rates were 42.4%vs 31.9%and 75.8%vs 72.3%in the surgery group and the RFA group,respectively.There was no significant difference in PFS and OS between the two groups(P>0.05).In multivariate analysis,maximum lung metastasis diameter,preoperative serum carcinoembryonic antigen(CEA)level and history of extrapulmonary metastasis were independent factors influencing OS in the CRC patients with lung metastases after radical resection(P<0.05).In addition,preoperative serum carcinoembryonic antigen(CEA)level and history of extrapulmonary metastasis were also independent factors influencing PFS in the CRC patients with lung metastases after radical resection(P<0.05). Conclusion:The short-term efficacy of RFA is comparable to that of pulmonary metastasectomy in the CRC patients with lung metastases after radical resection,and long-term follow-up studies are needed.
