Objective: To investigate the molecular mechanism and explore blood transfusion strategies for a proband exhibiting the JK (a-b-) phenotype and anti-JK high frequency antigen antibody and her eight family members.
Methods: The Kidd blood phenotype and irregular antibodies in a family were identified by serologic tests. Exon 4-11 and intron region of gene were sequenced by Sanger method.
Results: The combination of the gene (c.499A>G,c.512G>A,c.588A>G) and gene (c.342-1G>A,588A>G) in this family were considered to result in the JK (a-b-) phenotype in two members. The members carrying gene (c.130G>A,588A>G) all present serological JK. Members carrying gene (c.499A>G,c.588A>G) all present serological JK, which has not been previously reported to cause antigenic weakening. The proband with JK (a-b-) phenotype produced anti-JK antibodies, the hospital formulated a number of blood preparation strategies for the patient and she was discharged after recovery.
Conclusion: In this study, the molecular mechanism of JK (a-b-) in this family was identified, the transfusion strategy of rare blood group was established in our institution preliminary, and the necessity of establishing a rare blood group bank was revealed in this region. It is suggested that (c.499A>G,c.588A>G) may be a new genetic pattern leading to the weakening of Kidd antigenicity, which lays a foundation for the study of population genetics.

Objective: To identify the key features of facial and tongue images associated with anemia in female populations, establish anemia risk-screening models, and evaluate their performance.
Methods: A total of 533 female participants (anemic and healthy) were recruited from Shuguang Hospital. Facial and tongue images were collected using the TFDA-1 tongue and face diagnosis instrument.

Background: Acid sphingomyelinase deficiency (ASMD) type A/B, a rare lysosomal storage disorder caused by biallelic mutations in the SMPD1 gene, presents with variable visceral and neurological manifestations. Arnold-Chiari malformation is a structural defect of the cerebellum and brainstem with distinct pathogenesis and clinical course. To our knowledge, the coexistence of these two conditions has not been previously reported.

Background: Sarcoidosis is a complex granulomatous disease that benefits from multidisciplinary subspecialty expertise. Inequitable access to care contributes to racial disparities in many diseases; however, to our knowledge, no studies have examined racial differences in referral times to Sarcoidosis Centers of Excellence.
Research Question: Is there an association between race and time from sarcoidosis diagnosis to referral to an independently certified, peer-reviewed World Association of Sarcoidosis and Other Granulomatous Disorders Center of Excellence? Does a referral result in a change in sarcoidosis management?
Study Design And Methods: We retrospectively reviewed all 2021 referrals to the Johns Hopkins Sarcoidosis Center of Excellence.

Background: Disialoganglioside (GD2) is a tumor-associated antigen that is highly expressed in various neuroectodermal cancers, including melanoma. While chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell immunotherapy has demonstrated remarkable success in treating hematologic neoplasms, the identification of suitable targets remains a major obstacle in translating this approach to solid tumors.
Methods: Peripheral blood T lymphocytes from six healthy donors were used to generate GD2-specific CAR T cells via retroviral transduction.
