Domestic cats descended from the African wildcat several thousand years ago. Cats have spread to all parts of the world, probably along routes between civilizations or geographical boundaries, leading to the movement of species, from Asia to the African continent through the Mediterranean basin, and finally to the American continent, Australia, and New Zealand. Currently, 73 cat breeds are recognized by the International Cat Association. With the increasing interest in the selection of breeds, the determination of blood groups in cats has acquired importance over time. The AB blood group system is the most important blood system in cats, in which A, B, and AB or C blood groups are identified. This systematic review describes data from previously published reports about cat blood types and cat breeds. After applying specific criteria, 28 eligible studies were identified in which the prevalence percentages for each blood group in correlation with specific cat breeds were reported. The breeds were, in turn, divided into four groups according to their geographic and phylogenetic origins as follows: Asian cat breeds, American cat breeds, European cat breeds, and breeds from Oceania. Although numerous studies were carried out before 2021, gaps in the literature on the AB system and, in particular, the Mik group are highlighted.

Wild Cats

Wild felids and domestic cats share the AB blood group. However, there have been few studies regarding the characterization and prevalence of the different blood types in wild animals. The erythrocyte membrane glycolipids of the wild cats correspond to the major disialoganglioside patterns observed in domestic cats. Like in domestic cats, type A blood seems to be the most common, although wild felid species seem to exhibit one single blood type. Of the species studied, the wild domestic cats, and the Panthera and ocelot lineages, all had type A blood; the Puma lineage showed almost exclusively type B blood. The prevalence of wild felids blood types show that there seems to be variation between species, but not within species, and no evidence of geographical variation has yet been found, showing apparently no genetic variability. The presence of alloantibodies has also been demonstrated, so the risk of life-threatening transfusion reactions due to mismatched transfusions and neonatal isoerythrolysis is a possibility. Like in other species, the recognition of wild felids blood groups is clinically relevant, as it can also be important in establishing phylogenetic relationships within the Felidae family. We will review the current knowledge on this topic and give insights into the wild felids blood groups potential for zoo transfusion medicine and phylogenetic studies in order to help support reintroduction projects and to preserve genetic diversity.

Objective: This meta-analysis comprehensively evaluated the association between ABO blood group and the risk of preeclampsia (PE).Design: Systematic review and meta-analysis.Data sources: PubMed, Web of Science, and ScienceDirect databases from their inception to September 23, 2020.Methods: Pooled odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were obtained through random-effects and fixed-effects models according to heterogeneity. Meta-regression analysis was applied to explore the source of heterogeneity. We conducted a subgroup analysis by the publication year, study design, state, and Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) score. In addition, we calculated the rate of each ABO blood group in PE by total pooled effects.Results: A total of 12 articles with 714,153 patients were included in our analysis. Compared with people without PE (control group), the O blood group presented a lower risk of PE (OR 0.95, 95% CI 0.93–0.97). The AB (OR 1.46, 95% CI 1.12–1.91) blood group presented a higher risk. However, the total pooled OR and 95% CI for the A (OR 1.02, 95% CI 0.90–1.16) and B (OR 1.02, 95% CI 0.98–1.05) blood groups were not significant. The funnel plot and linear regression equation showed that there was no publication bias for the O, A, or B blood groups (all P &gt; 0.05). However, the funnel plot and linear regression equation for the AB blood group were obviously asymmetric (P &lt; 0.05), and the publication bias persisted even after the trim-and-fill method was applied (P &lt; 0.05). Multivariable meta-regression analysis did not find a specific source of heterogeneity. The A blood group showed an association with early-onset PE (OR 0.53, 95% CI 0.33–0.83), and the other blood groups showed no significant differences. In PE, the rates of the O, A, B, and AB blood groups decreased gradually (0.39, 0.33, 0.19, 0.07).Conclusion: These findings suggest that pregnant women with AB blood group are more likely to develop PE, and more attention should be paid to AB blood group whose blood pressure is high but not sufficient to diagnose PE.Systematic Review Registration: Prospero CRD42021227930.

The aim of the work was to determine the immunogenetic characteristics of pigs of two Ukrainian breeds by their adaptability, resistance, reproduction, genetic homogeneity, the presence of alleles that determine the potential suitability for use in xenotransplantation and other biomedical purposes. At present, there is no breed or specialized line of pigs in Ukraine to address the urgent problems of humane medicine. However, there is a favorable situation for the creation of such a breed or the withdrawal of a specialized line because of the demand of pharmacological concerns for model biological objects to study the mechanisms of action of modern medical preparations, to develop methods of conducting bloodless surgical operations, modeling of the clinic and epidemiology of infectious diseases of different diseases. immune response, etc. In this context, there was a compelling reason to preserve the indigenous breeds of pigs of Ukraine, especially Ukrainian meat and Мyrgorod. Standard methods of immunogenetic analysis of pigs were used. The erythrocyte antigens of 9 blood group systems were determined using specific immune sera and the involvement of a bank of immunodiagnostics meeting international requirements. Blood groups were determined by the reaction of agglutination, an indirect Coombs test, and a hemolytic test. Statistical processing of the research results was performed using mathematical statistics using the GenAlex-6.0 computer program. As a result of the immunogenetic analysis of Ukrainian beef and myrrh-pig breeds, it was determined that each of them is characterized by a specific immunogenic profile, which is related to both breed characteristics and differences, and methods of their breeding. The difference between the distribution of the overwhelming number of alleles of blood groups was statistically significant. Pigs of Ukrainian meat and Мyrgorod breeds had the largest differences in allele distribution by B, E, F, K, L blood group systems with the presence of the Ladhjk marker allele in the latter (p < 0.05). The specificity of immunogenic profiles was evaluated, depending on the history of creation and the direction of the animal's performance. Species of Myrhorod and Ukrainian meat breeds with the presence of genotypes A - / - and Ebdgkmp / bdgkmp were found to determine the suitability of animals for xenotransplantation. Of the 80 animals tested for immunogenetic markers, only 24 individuals met the established selection criteria. The range of determined indicators of actual homozygosity for selected genotype animals ranged from 55.56% to the maximum value – 88.89%, mainly in sows from the Smorodinа, Rusalkа, Sorokа and Soyka families. According to molecular genetic analysis, you have been informed that the established criteria of the biomedical model meet only 13 individuals of Ukrainian meat breed. Among animals with the highest index of actual homozygosity, representatives of Cererа and Cіlina were identified, with Celina 4092 being homozygous for all blood group systems studied. The selection of pigs for blood alleles, desirable for xenotransplantation, with their transfer to the homozygous state: A -/- and Ebdgkmp / bdgkmp will impair the adaptive, first of all, reproductive qualities of the animals and create significant problems for the cultivation of such individuals. The possibility of the occurrence of reproductive and resistance disorders of pigs in the selection of blood groups genotypes modeled for xenotransplantation and the search for ways to overcome them are being considered.

In solving the problem of qualitative improvement of beef breeds, it is important to improve the methods of practical use of existing parent couples selection methods, using histocompatibility antigens, polymorphic proteins and blood group systems. The purpose of the thesis is to determine the influence of homogeneous and heterogeneous selection of parent couples by blood group factors on the weight and linear growth of bulls of Ukrainian beef breed. The Ukrainian beef breed was bred using four breeds and is characterized by high variability in polymorphic features. The type of parent selection was determined by the index of B antigen similarity (ras) of cattle blood groups. The formula of D.A. Zhyvotovskyi and A.M. Mashurov was used to calculate the index of antigenic similarity of parents. Selection by ras of parents ≥ 0,268 was considered homogeneous, and by ras ≤ 0,267 heterogeneous. It has been proven that bulls that are descended from their parents with more ras pravail in the test on average daily gains and have a higher live weight. If ras of the parents is over 0.268, animals tend to improve their growth rate up to 8 months of age. After weaning this trend persists. The average daily gain of bulls obtained from parents with ras up to 0.267 is better in the period from 15 to 18 months, which indicates their lower precocity. If the antigenic similarity index of parents is more than 0.268, the animals are better in terms of the severity of meat forms at the age of 15 and 18 months. At the age of 15 months, bulls obtained from homogeneous selection by ras have smaller height measurements, better developed front of the torso in width and depth of the chest, longer torso and buttocks. Homogeneous selection of parental couples according to the B antigen similarity index of blood groups leads to improvement of weight growth and severity of meat forms of bulls of Ukrainian beef breed.

Abstract Background: ABO and Rh blood groups are most important blood groups in human beings. The frequency of four main blood group systems varies in population throughout the world and even in different parts of country. Objective if this study was to identify distribution of ABO and Rh blood group system. Materials and methods: The study was conducted in rural tertiary care hospital from January 2008 to December 2012. Data were collected from Blood Bank grouping records. All blood samples processed during period of observation were included in study. Results: During the period of observation total 43,103 numbers of blood groups were performed. Patient's samples were 28,305 and donor's samples were 14,798. The frequency of blood group O in our population was 42.0% (40.1% O Rh positive and 1.8% O Rh negative). The frequency of blood group B in our population was 27.3% (25.6% B Rh positive and 1.62% B Rh negative) followed by blood group A was 25.8% (24.3% A Rh positive and 1.4% A Rh negative) and blood group AB was 4.8% (4.4% AB Rh positive and 1.4% AB Rh negative) and a two Bombay blood group donors (0.0046%). Rh positive were 94.64% and Rh negative were 5.35%. Discussion: O positive blood group is significantly high in our population. Every transfusion centre should have a record of frequency of blood group system in their population. It helps in inventory management. Knowledge of blood group distribution is important for clinical studies, for reliable geographical information and for forensic studies in the population.

Rhesus Blood Group System

For rare blood groups the recruitment of donor relatives, for example siblings, is expected to be effective, since the probability of a similar rare blood group is likely. However, the likelihood differs between blood groups and is not commonly available. This paper provides a unified mathematical formulation to calculate such likelihoods. From a mathematical and probabilistic point of view, it is shown that these likelihoods can be obtained from the computation of a stationary genotype distribution. This, in turn, can be brought down to a system of quadratic stochastic operators. A generic mathematical approach is presented which directly leads to a stationary genotype distribution for arbitrary blood groups. The approach enables an exact computation for the effectiveness of recruiting next of kin for blood donorship. Next to an illustration of computations for ‘standard’ ABO and Rhesus-D blood groups, it is particularly illustrated for the extended Rhesus blood group system. Also other applications requiring next of kin blood group associations can be solved directly by using the unified mathematical formulation.
