Isochrysis galbana is considered an ideal bait for functional foods and nutraceuticals of humans because of its high fucoxanthin(Fx)content.However,multi-omics analysis of the regula-tory networks for Fx biosynthesis in I.galbana has not been reported.In this study,we report a high-quality genome assembly of I.galbana LG007,which has a genome size of 92.73 Mb,with a contig N50 of 6.99 Mb and 14,900 protein-coding genes.Phylogenetic analysis confirmed the monophyly of Haptophyta,with I.galbana sister to Emiliania huxleyi and Chrysochromulina tobinii.Evolutionary analysis revealed an estimated divergence time between I.galbana and E.huxleyi of~133 million years ago.Gene family analysis indicated that lipid metabolism-related genes exhibited significant expansion,including IgPLMT,IgOAR1,and IgDEGS1.Metabolome analysis showed that the content of carotenoids in I.galbana cultured under green light for 7 days was higher than that under white light,and β-carotene was the main carotenoid,accounting for 79.09%of the total carotenoids.Comprehensive multi-omics analysis revealed that the content of β-carotene,antheraxanthin,zeaxanthin,and Fx was increased by green light induction,which was significantly correlated with the expression of IgMYB98,IgZDS,IgPDS,IgLHCX2,IgZEP,IgLCYb,and IgNSY.These findings contribute to the understanding of Fx biosynthesis and its regulation,pro-viding a valuable reference for food and pharmaceutical applications.

【Objective】 To develop a new approach for the preparation of 0.7~0.8 hematocrit concentrated washed red blood cells(RBCs) for fetal anemia in utero transfusion and apply it in clinical. 【Methods】 The erythrocyte suspension and frozen stored erythrocytes within expiry date in Guangzhou Blood Center from March 2020 to February 2021 were taken to prepare concentrated washed RBCs. According to the derivation formula, corresponding weight of RBC preservation solution was added to obtain 0.7~0.8 hematocrit concentrated washed RBCs. Routine blood test data were statistically analyzed by single-sample t test, and P<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Qualified Rh-negative/ O-type 0.7~0.8 hematocrit concentrated RBCs within expiry date were used in clinical intrauterine blood transfusion. 【Results】 The hematocrit of concentrated washing RBCs prepared by the new approach could reach 0.7~0.8. The RBCs count (8.389 ±0.808)×1 012/ L and hemoglobin content(233.730±15.498)g/L were higher while the erythrocyte count (0.732±0.469)×109 /L and platelets count(26.000±26.276)×109/L were lower than the normal values of adults. The mean erythrocyte volume(fL), hemoglobin content(pg) and concentration(g/L )were 88.123±6.359, 30.004±2.809 and 339.980±11.865, respectively, which were normal values of adults. Fetal anemia was significantly improved and the prognosis was good after intrauterine blood transfusion. 【Conclusion】 The 0.7~0.8 hematocrit concentrated washed RBCs prepared by the new approach is consistent with the special blood requirements during fetal anaemia transfusion, meets the clinical treatment standards, and can be applied in clinical.

Objective:Based on ear cartilage of congenital microtia, we tried to find the different metabolites and variational metabolic pathways on molecular level by gas chromatography time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GC-TOFMS).Methods:Patients with microtia were collected from June 2017 to January 2018. During operation, the ear cartilage tissue was collected and labeled, and the case group was residual ear cartilage tissue of the patients with microtia, with 18 cases. The control group was normal ear cartilage tissue, total 18 cases. After the sample pretreatment, based on the technique of GC-TOFMS and the software of XploreMET, the differential metabolites in the residual ear cartilage of microtia were analyzed by orthogonal partial least square discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) and its variable importance projection (VIP) and U test statistical method. Compared with the metabolite database, the metabolic pathway enrichment analysis (MPEA) was used to screen the most related metabolic pathways. Results:According to the multidimensional statistical analysis, it is different in the metabolites of ear cartilage between the two groups. According to the verification of single dimensional statistical analysis, 14 specific biomarkers were identified, and their P value was less than 0.05. According to the metabolic pathway enrichment analysis (MPEA), 3 metabolic pathways had statistically significant difference, including arginine metabolism, taurine and the taurine metabolism, pantothenate and CoA metabolism, beta-alanine metabolism, glycerophospholipid metabolism, P <0.05. Conclusions:Arginine, taurine, L-cysteine and pantothenic acid may have an association with microtia, which proved that it is feasible to study the pathogenesis of microtia by metabonomics.
