Article Synopsis
  • Wood and economic crops are commonly used in rural China, but their combustion releases volatile organic compounds (VOCs) which haven't been extensively studied.
  • The study simulated the burning of various woods and crop straws in a lab, collecting and analyzing the emitted VOCs using advanced gas chromatography techniques.
  • Results highlighted significant differences in VOC compositions across different biomass types, identifying key compounds like ethylene, toluene, and propionaldehyde that contribute to ozone formation potential (OFP) from burning.

Objective: To perform gene analysis and family survey of a patient with combined inherited FVII and FX deficiency, and to identify the gene mutation of this patient.

Methods: The phenotype diagnosis was validated by coagulant parameter assay on prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), fibrinogen, FVII and FX activity (FVII:C, FX:C) and FVII and FX antigen (FVII:Ag, FX:Ag). FVII and FX gene mutations were analyzed in the proband and other family members by DNA direct sequencing of all exons, exon-intron boundaries and 5', 3' untranslated sequences.

Objective: To investigate the gene mutation and the molecular pathogenesis of an inherited coagulation factor VII (F VII) deficiency pedigree with consanguineous marriage.

Methods: The diagnosis was validated by coagulant parameter assay on the prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time, fibrinogen and coagulation factor activity. F VII gene mutations were analyzed in the proband and other family members by direct DNA sequencing of the PCR products of all exons, exon-intron boundaries and 5'and 3' untranslated sequences.
