Article Abstract

Objective: To investigate the accuracy of next-generation sequencing technology (NGS) in detecting the polymorphisms of and alleles in randomly-selected unrelated healthy individuals from Shenzhen Han population, investigate the potential reason for allele dropout in routine NGS, and establish an internal quality control system.

Methods: NGS-based HLA class II genotyping was performed on 1 012 samples using the MiSeqDx platform. The suspected missed alleles indicated by the quality control software and homozygotes were confirmed by PCR-SSOP or PCR-SBT methods.

Results: A total of 139 alleles were detected, including (45), (7), (5), (7), (17), (21), (10) and (27). *09:01(17.09%),15:01(10.72%); *02:02(25.99%),03:01(10.18%); *01:03(36.46%); *01:01(15.42%); *01:02(20.01%),03:02(17.19%); *03:01(19.47%),03:03(17.98%), 05:02(11.66%), 06:01(10.67%); *02:02(54.45%), 01:03(31.18%) and *05:01(39.13%), 02:01(16.90%) alleles were the most common alleles in Shenzhen Han population (frequencies >10%). There was no statistical difference between the gene frequencies of and loci in our study. The HLA Common and Well-Documented Alleles in China (CWD2.4) (χ=12.68, >0.05). 94 cases of homozygous samples detected by NGS were retested by PCR-SSOP or SBT method, and one case of allele dropout at locus was found. SBT method confirmed that the allele of *04:03 was missed. The laboratory internal quality control system was established. Two cases of new alleles were detected and named by WHO Nomenclature Committee for Factors of the HLA System.

Conclusion: The HLA genotyping results based on NGS showed a significantly lower ambiguity rate. The HLA class II alleles exhibit genetic polymorphism in the Han population of unrelated healthy individuals in Shenzhen. The independent method based on NGS in clinical histocompatibility testing has limitations and requires internal quality control strategies to avoid allele-dropout events.

The State Key Laboratory of Food Science and Resources, Jiangnan University, 1800 Lihu Road, Wuxi 214122, China.

This study develops a multienzyme coimmobilization strategy on NTA-functionalized ZIF-8-coated magnetic nanoparticles (NZMNPs) for efficient d-allulose synthesis. Under optimized immobilization conditions (enzyme-to-carrier ratio: 1:50 w/w, 30 min immobilization), the system achieved an immobilization efficiency of 93.7% along with 107.

Hemophilia, an X-linked monogenic disorder, arises from mutations in the or genes, which encode clotting factor VIII (FVIII) or clotting factor IX (FIX), respectively. As a prominent hereditary coagulation disorder, hemophilia is clinically manifested by spontaneous hemorrhagic episodes. Severe cases may progress to complications such as stroke and arthropathy, significantly compromising patients' quality of life.

Importance: Stoma reversal is associated with few complications. However, recent studies show that 1 in 3 patients develop an incisional hernia, for which half of the patients receive surgical correction.

Objective: To investigate whether prophylactic synthetic mesh placement in the retromuscular space during stoma reversal reduces the rate of stomal site incisional hernias.

Importance: Multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), with or without prostate biopsy, has become the standard of care for diagnosing clinically significant prostate cancer. Resource capacity limits widespread adoption. Biparametric MRI, which omits the gadolinium contrast sequence, is a shorter and cheaper alternative offering time-saving capacity gains for health systems globally.

Purpose: Sleep disturbance is prevalent in long-term care facilities (LTCFs), yet there is limited understanding of individual factors predicting changes in sleep within these populations. Our objective was to determine predictors of sleep disturbance in LTCFs and investigate variation in prevalence across facilities in two Canadian provinces-New Brunswick and Saskatchewan.

Method: This retrospective longitudinal cohort study used interRAI comprehensive health assessment data from 2016 to 2021, encompassing 21,394 older adults aged ≥ 65 years across 228 LTCFs.
