    Abstract Background: Hemoglobin (Hb) New York [β113 (G15) Val→Glu, GTG→GAG], also known as Hb Kaohsiung, is one of the most common Hb variants in South China. Currently, most used screening methods for hemoglobinopathies in South China are high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and capillary electrophoresis (CE). However, there is no study comparing the performance of CE and HPLC in the detection of Hb New York.
    Methods: In total 15 samples (including 13 adult blood samples and 2 cord blood samples) with heterozygous Hb New York were analyzed by CE and HPLC. Levels of Hb New York, HbA2, Hb, mean corpuscular volume (MCV) and mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) were compared within the two groups.
    Results: All 15 cases (100%) were detected by CE, whereas none was detected by HPLC. Mean values of Hb New York and HbA2 in adult heterozygous group were (43.82±2.47)% and (2.85±0.31)%, respectively; mean values for cord blood group were (7.95±0.78)% and (0.30±0.14)%.
    Conclusions: CE allows the detection of Hb New York, while this variant is not separated from Hb A on HPLC. CE may be the preferred method for hemoglobinopathy screening in areas with high prevalence of Hb New York.

    Abstract There is growing interest in reducing Bacille Calmette-Guerin (BCG) side effects while keeping intact its therapeutic efficacy. In the present study, we evaluated the efficacy of Sclerotia of Polyporus umbellatus FRIES (Zhuling) and its main ingredient Polyporus Polysaccharide (PPS) to attenuate side effects of BCG therapy in vivo. The results show that bladder cancer development in model rats exhibited significantly reduced cancer invasiveness with Zhuling PPS combined with BCG. Flow cytometric (FCM) analysis showed expression of costimulatory molecules CD86, CD40, and TLR4/CD14 significantly increased with Zhuling PPS in combination with BCG. Similarly, immunohistochemical analysis revealed stronger CD86 and CD40 staining. Our findings show Zhuling PPS strongly reduced side effects and displayed synergistic effects during BCG instillation in rat bladder cancer models. The findings also suggest that the attenuation effect may result from direct activation of dendritic cell (DC) TLR4.
