AI Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the distribution of Diego blood group alleles in the Chinese Korean population using advanced genotyping techniques.
- Results show that the majority of the population carries the DI*02 allele, with the most common genotype being DI*02/DI*02 at 90.22%.
- The findings will aid in creating a donor database for supplying antigen-negative blood and offer an alternative to serological techniques for screening rare blood groups.
Article Abstract
Objective: To investigate Diego blood group alleles in the Chinese Korean population. The Diego blood group system plays an important role in transfusion medicine, but the distribution of the blood group in many Chinese ethnic populations remains unclear.
Methods: Sequence Specific Primer Polymerase Chain Reaction (SSP-PCR) was used for Diego genotyping and sequence-based typing PCR (PCR-SBT) was used to verify single nucleotide polymorphisms in the coding region of SLC4A1 starting from exon 19. Nine hundred and ten samples from the Chinese Korean population were investigated.
Results: The frequency of the DI*01 and DI*02 alleles in the Chinese Korean population was 0.0516 and 0.9484, respectively. The most predominant genotype was DI*02/DI*02, with a frequency of 90.22 % (821/910). The frequency of DI*01/DI*02 was 9.23 % (84/910) and that of DI*01 /DI*01 was 0.55 % (5/910). The genotype distributions of the Diego blood group conformed to the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (P > 0.05).
Conclusion: The data obtained from this study will be helpful for the creation of a donor database to provide antigen-negative blood to patients with allo-antibodies. Genotyping can be used as a substitute for the serological technique when antisera are unavailable and is suitable for screening a large number of donors for rare-blood-group databases.

Investigation of the frequency and selected prevalence factors of equid alphaherpesvirus 4 viremia in horses with acute onset of fever and respiratory signs.

Equid alphaherpesvirus 4 (EqAHV4; , ; equine rhinopneumonitis virus) has seldom been associated with complications such as abortion and myeloencephalopathy, given the low tendency of this virus to induce viremia. We investigated the frequency of EqAHV4 viremia in horses with fever and respiratory signs. Case selection included all equids with EqAHV4 quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR)-positive nasal secretions (defined as EqAHV4 qPCR-positive cases) submitted to a diagnostic laboratory.

Centre for Trauma Sciences, Blizard Institute, Queen Mary University of London, London, England.
Background: In severely injured trauma patients, hypofibrinoginaemia is associated with increased mortality. There is no evidence-based consensus for what constitutes optimal fibrinogen therapy, treatment dose or timing of administration. The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the effects of early fibrinogen replacement, either cryoprecipitate or fibrinogen concentrate (FgC) on mortality, transfusion requirements and deep venous thrombosis (DVT).

Background: Early and continuous exposure to painful stimuli in premature infants leads to short-and long-term complications. Listening to white noise is an accessible and inexpensive non-invasive method that can be used as a safe nursing intervention in hospitals. This study aimed to assess white noise's effect on premature Infants' physiological parameters during peripheral intravenous catheter insertion.

Objective: To study the correlation between anti-Müllerian hormone levels and pregnancy outcomes after in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection in women with polycystic ovary syndrome, which remains controversial.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study recruited 4,719 women with infertility and polycystic ovary syndrome aged 20-40 years who underwent treatment at the Reproductive Center of Peking University Third Hospital between February 2017 and June 2023. We divided the participants into three groups according to the 25th and 75th percentile cutoffs of serum anti-Müllerian hormone: low (≤ 4.
The effect of Tai Chi on plasma homocysteine in 1176 adults: a propensity score matching-based study.

Department of Cardiac Rehabilitation, Zhengzhou Central Hospital Affiliated to Zhengzhou University, Zhengzhou, 450000, China.
Background: Tai Chi is a low-impact form of exercise that involves a series of slow movements that flow together. Increased plasma homocysteine(Hcy) levels are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases and may be reduced by exercise. This study aimed to compare plasma Hcy levels and the risk of hyperhomocysteinemia in 1,176 adults with and without Tai Chi exercises.
