Abstract
BACKGROUND Frailty is unevenly distributed across the world but also within different populations in the same country. OBJECTIVES This study sought to identify frailty in former immigrant workers, known as Chibanis, living in an immigrant hostel in Marseille. The secondary objective was to describe health care access, as well as any chronic diseases reported. DESIGN, PARTICIPANTS AND SETTING Our descriptive, observational, monocentric study conducted from January to April 2021 included 67 Chibanis, living in an immigrant hostel in Marseille. MEASUREMENTS AND RESULTS Almost all this population (97%), with a median age of 77 years, presented at least one frailty criterion: 7.5% were malnourished, 55.2% had a grip strength of < 27 kg, and 41.8% were on multiple drugs. Majority of Chibanis (86.6%) had multimorbidity. CONCLUSION Identifying frailty in this population of Chibanis must be proposed through a specific, adapted care pathway including referral to a specialist.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
In France, 1,6 million donors contribute 3 million blood donations / year collected and tested by the French public transfusion service (Etablissement Français du Sang - EFS). At each donation, 2 ml plasma of are stored for 3 years for further testing if needed. In addition to providing life-saving blood products, blood donors may also provide knowledge through the sharing of their health data and bioresource collected at time of donation.
Objective
To describe how blood donors can provide knowledge in addition to blood products.
Results
Over the last 10 years, blood donors in France have enabled several studies performed by EFS in collaboration with research and reference laboratories as well as public health authorities. A linked assessment of Ab titers (+ clinical history) in donors having given blood before and after the 2009 H1N1 flu epidemic, as well as measles, rubella and hepatitis E virus seroprevalence studies (+ specific health questionnaires) have generated high value epidemiological data. Screening for arboviruses (such as Zika virus) and hepatitis A virus in donors during epidemics have increased knowledge of infectious spread and disease characteristics. Testing of plasma samples collected before variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease occurrence in two donors revealed the presence of circulating prion more than 1 year before diagnosis. A project to further take advantage of such a bio resource is underway. Upon occurrence and notification of a disease (or any pre-defined health event) in one of the 1,4 million repeat blood donors, all samples from prior donations would be gathered in a cohort of samples of all donors having notified an identical health event. Such cohorts would provide valuable samples to assess disease-specific biomarkers at pre-symptomatic phases.
Conclusions
Providing the opportunity to donors to give knowledge in addition to blood can result in production of high value biomedical data. Giving blood, being a public health actor.
Key messages
Blood donors may provide knowledge and bioresources in addition to blood products. Blood donors in France have enabled several large-scale epidemiological studies.

Abstract
European populations display low genetic differentiation as the result of long-term blending of their ancient founding ancestries. However, it is unclear how the combination of ancient ancestries related to early foragers, Neolithic farmers, and Bronze Age nomadic pastoralists can explain the distribution of genetic variation across Europe. Populations in natural crossroads like the Italian peninsula are expected to recapitulate the continental diversity, but have been systematically understudied. Here, we characterize the ancestry profiles of Italian populations using a genome-wide dataset representative of modern and ancient samples from across Italy, Europe, and the rest of the world. Italian genomes capture several ancient signatures, including a non-steppe contribution derived ultimately from the Caucasus. Differences in ancestry composition, as the result of migration and admixture, have generated in Italy the largest degree of population structure detected so far in the continent, as well as shaping the amount of Neanderthal DNA in modern-day populations.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Transfusion safety is based on the availability of safe and compatible blood products at the right time and to the right patient, and requires close monitoring in order to detect possible incidents. The decree of June 20th 2018, which establishes the national blood transfusion's guiding plan, states that the organization that prevails throughout the national territory is built around an inseparable link between the implementation of erythrocyte immunohematology and the labile blood products delivery by authorised structures. METHOD The article describes the two types of the link's organization, structural or functional, used to develop the comparative risk-benefit analysis. RESULTS The structural link, which has fewer interfaces, reduces risk situations that lead to delays in release by default of a compatible product. The cases in which a functional link may have a greater benefit than the risks generated are those related to a geographical distance between the delivery site and the patient's place of care. In these cases, a functional link is possible provided that certain organizational points are mastered. CONCLUSION The comparative analysis shows that the structural link is to be favoured since that the coherence of the patient's care and his care path is ensured. In certain situations, mainly geographical, the functional link can have a benefit that offsets the risks generated by the new interfaces; provided that the system is secured by a real tripartite collaboration between health care institution, biology laboratory and delivery site.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To study the psychic self-representations and experiences of menstrual blood in women and their impact on the choice of a contraceptive method, with or without amenorrhea. METHODS Qualitative study based on semi-structured interviews with French women over age 18, under contraception. RESULTS Twenty-three interviews were conducted with women of various ages and socio-economic classes. Three themes have been studied: the menarche experience, the representation and experience of menstrual blood, and the representation and experience of amenorrhea induced by contraception. Menarche has been a negative experience for most of them, and menarche is known to influence menstrual self-representation. About menstrual bleeding, two profiles of women could be described. Those with a positive self-representation of menstrual blood considered it necessary for the purification of their bodies as well as for procreation and were reluctant to the idea of amenorrhea induced by their contraception. Those with a negative representation of menstrual blood considered it as a source of physical and mental suffering and accepted the idea of having amenorrhea induced by their contraception, amenorrhea being considered as a treatment or a release. CONCLUSION The choice of a contraception with or without a induced-amenorrhea seems to be specific to every woman and depends on there self-psychic representation of menstrual blood, independently from their socio-economic class. The results of this study highlighted the effect of women's psychic representations and experience of menstrual blood on their contraceptive choice.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES For pregnant women, the serologic test results of D antigen will determine the frequency of RBC antibody detection as well as the indication for RhIG prophylaxis. RHD genotyping is the only method that may provide clear guidance on prophylaxis for women with a weak D phenotype. This analysis evaluated the economical implications of using RHD genotyping to guide RhIG prophylaxis among pregnant women with a serological weak D phenotype. METHODS We compared the costs of 2 strategies in a cohort of 273 women with weak D phenotype. In the first strategy, we did not perform genotyping and all women with weak D phenotypes were treated as if they were D-, thus considered to be a risk of RhD alloimmunization. These women all received the prophylactic follow up. In the second strategy, RHD genotyping was performed on all women with a serologic weak D phenotype. Then, the follow-up will be determined by phenotype deduced from genotype. RESULTS On the studied cohort, the additional expense occurred by genotyping is 26,536 €. RHD Genotyping has highlighted 162 weak D Type 1, 2 3, that could safely be managed as D+ and 111 partial D to consider as D-. By comparing the 2 strategies, the savings generated by genotyping the patients of our cohort are € 12,046 for the follow up of one pregnancy. Knowing that in France, a woman has on average 2 pregnancies and that the genotyping is carried out only once, the savings generated for the following pregnancies would be € 38,581. CONCLUSIONS Performing RHD genotyping for pregnant women with a weak D phenotype enables to clearly identify weak D type 1, 2 or 3 from the other variants at risk of alloimmunization. This analysis generates savings in terms of follow-up schedule of pregnant women and RhIG prophylaxis. It also allows saving of D- products for patient with a weak D type 1, 2 or 3 in case of a transfusion need.

Abstract
Voluntariness stands for one of the four pillars of ethics in blood donation; it is, however, more related to tradition than to legislation. Because it seems necessary to apply "marketing" techniques to blood collection in order to meet the needs in blood components, both in terms of quantity and quality, one wonders if this may be at the expense of this principle of voluntariness. This seminar-belonging actually to a series of seminars in Ethics in Transfusion Medicine-aimed at questioning the possible weakness of voluntariness in the field of blood donation. To achieve this goal, specialists of numerous disciplines in medical sciences, law and humanities gathered to discuss all related issues to voluntariness in blood donation.

Abstract
The cat flea, Ctenocephalides felis felis (Bouche, 1835) (Siphonaptera: Pulicidae), which is found worldwide and which parasitizes many species of wild and domestic animal, is a vector and/or reservoir of bacteria, protozoa and helminths. To aid in the study of the physiology and behaviour of fleas and of their transmission of pathogens, it would be of value to improve the laboratory rearing of pathogen-free fleas. The conditions under which artificially reared fleas at the University of Bristol (U.K.) and the Rickettsial Diseases Institute (France) are maintained were studied, with different ratios of male to female fleas per chamber (25 : 50, 50 : 100, 100 : 100, 200 : 200). The fleas were fed with bovine, ovine, caprine, porcine or human blood containing the anticoagulants sodium citrate or EDTA. Egg production was highest when fleas were kept in chambers with a ratio of 25 males to 100 females. In addition, the use of EDTA as an anticoagulant rather than sodium citrate resulted in a large increase in the number of eggs produced per female; however, the low percentage of eggs developing through to adult fleas was lower with EDTA. The modifications described in our rearing methods will improve the rearing of cat fleas for research.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES This study describes patient identification errors leading to transfusional near-misses in blood issued by the Alps Mediterranean French Blood Establishment (EFSAM) to Marseille Public Hospitals (APHM) over an 18-month period. The EFSAM consolidates 14 blood banks in southeast France. It supplies 149 hospitals and maintains a centralized database on ABO types used at all area hospitals. As an added precaution against incompatible transfusion, the APHM requires ABO testing at each admission regardless of whether the patient has an ABO record. The study goal was to determine if admission testing was warranted. MATERIALS AND METHODS Discrepancies between ABO type determined by admission testing and records in the centralized database were investigated. The root cause for each discrepancy was classified as specimen collection or patient admission error. Causes of patient admission events were further subclassified as namesake (name similarity) or impersonation (identity fraud). RESULTS The incidence of ABO discrepancies was 1:2334 including a 1:3329 incidence of patient admission events. Impersonation was the main cause of identity events accounting for 90.3% of cases. The APHM's ABO control policy prevented 19 incompatible transfusions. In relation to the 48,593 packed red cell units transfused, this would have corresponded to a risk of 1:2526. CONCLUSION Collecting and storing ABO typing results in a centralized database is an essential public health tool. It allows crosschecking of current test results with past records and avoids redundant testing. However, as patient identification remains unreliable, ABO typing at each admission is still warranted to prevent transfusion errors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Transfusion-induced alloimmunization has severe clinical consequences including haemolytic transfusion reactions, impaired transfused RBCs longevity and greater difficulty in finding compatible blood. Molecular analysis of genomic DNA now permits prediction of blood group phenotypes based on identification of single nucleotide polymorphisms. Implementation of molecular technologies in donor centres would be helpful in finding RBC units for special patient populations, but DNA extraction remains an obstacle to donor genotyping. MATERIALS AND METHODS We propose a simple method compatible with high throughput that allows blood group genotyping using a multiplex commercial kit without the need for DNA extraction. The principle relies on pre-PCR treatment of whole blood using heating/cooling procedure in association with a recombinant hotstart polymerase. RESULTS In a prospective analysis, we yielded 5628 alleles identification and designated 63 donors with rare blood, that is either negative for a high-frequency antigen or with a rare combination of common antigens. CONCLUSION The procedure was optimized for simplicity of use in genotyping platform and would allow not only to supply antigen-matched products to recipients but also to find rare phenotypes. This methodology could also be useful for establishing a donor repository for human platelet antigens (HPA)-matched platelets since the same issues are involved for patients with neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia or post-transfusion purpura.

Abstract
AIM OF THE STUDY Current knowledge of the molecular basis of most blood groups enables genetic testing for blood groups to overcome the limitations of agglutination. A retrospective review was carried out on genotyping assays performed between 2011 and 2013. METHODS AND PATIENTS The Molecular Hematology Laboratory of the EFS Alpes-Méditerranée implements commercially available tools (BioArray, Gen-Probe) and other techniques (TaqMan, tetra-primer ARMS-PCR, sequencing). It provides a high-level of expertise in molecular biology, complying with regulatory requirements and standards. RESULTS A total of 2382 genotyping assays was performed including 764 extended typings and 115 large extended typings essentially in cases involving multiple transfusion and suspected rare blood type. Phenotype discrepancies linked to the RH system accounted for 1501 genotypings. Discrepancies linked to the D and E were mainly related to an allele coding for weak antigen (weak D type 1, 2, 3 and EIV) while those linked to C, c and e antigens were related to an allele coding for a partial antigen (RN, ces(340), ceMo). A high prevalence of (C)ces haplotype in trans of a DAR allele was observed in Afro-Caribbean (54/62). CONCLUSION In transfusion medicine, red-cell genotyping can overcome the limitations of hemagglutination. It must be used only in situations where it provides a benefit either for the patient or resource management. For implementation of appropriate transfusional practices, this technique requires a sound knowledge of the genetic characteristics of blood groups and clinically relevant variants. It also requires competency with molecular biology tools and continuously updated scientific data.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Blood transfusion safety depends on strict compliance with each step of a process beginning with the order for labile blood products and related immunohematologic testing and ending with administration and follow-up of the receiver. This process is governed by stringent regulatory texts and guidelines. Despite precautions, processing errors are still reported. Analysis of incident reports shows that the most common cause involves patient identification and that most errors occur at two levels, i.e. the entry of patient information and management of multiple regulatory crosschecks and record-keeping using different systems. METHOD The purpose of this report is to describe the collaborative approach implemented by the Établissement français du Sang Alpes-Méditerranée (EFSAM) and the Assistance publique des Hôpitaux de Marseille (APHM) to secure the blood transfusion process and protect interfaces while simplifying and facilitating exchanges. RESULTS Close cooperation has had a threefold impact with simplification of administration, improvement of experience feedback, and better management of test ordering. The organization implemented between the two institutions has minimized document redundancy and interfaces between immunohematologic testing and delivery. Collaboration based on experience feedback has improved the level of quality and cost control. CONCLUSION In the domain of blood transfusion safety, the threshold of 10(-5) has been reached with regard to the risk of ABO errors in the distribution concentrated red cells (CRC). In addition, this collaborative organization has created further opportunity for improvement by deploying new methods to identify simplification measures and by controlling demand and usage.

Abstract
We present here the results of the Analysis of HLA Population Data (AHPD) project of the 16th International HLA and Immunogenetics Workshop (16IHIW) held in Liverpool in May-June 2012. Thanks to the collaboration of 25 laboratories from 18 different countries, HLA genotypic data for 59 new population samples (either well-defined populations or donor registry samples) were gathered and 55 were analysed statistically following HLA-NET recommendations. The new data included, among others, large sets of well-defined populations from north-east Europe and West Asia, as well as many donor registry data from European countries. The Gene[rate] computer tools were combined to create a Gene[rate] computer pipeline to automatically (i) estimate allele frequencies by an expectation-maximization algorithm accommodating ambiguities, (ii) estimate heterozygosity, (iii) test for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE), (iv) test for selective neutrality, (v) generate frequency graphs and summary statistics for each sample at each locus and (vi) plot multidimensional scaling (MDS) analyses comparing the new samples with previous IHIW data. Intrapopulation analyses show that HWE is rarely rejected, while neutrality tests often indicate a significant excess of heterozygotes compared with neutral expectations. The comparison of the 16IHIW AHPD data with data collected during previous workshops (12th-15th) shows that geography is an excellent predictor of HLA genetic differentiations for HLA-A, -B and -DRB1 loci but not for HLA-DQ, whose patterns are probably more influenced by natural selection. In Europe, HLA genetic variation clearly follows a north to south-east axis despite a low level of differentiation between European, North African and West Asian populations. Pacific populations are genetically close to Austronesian-speaking South-East Asian and Taiwanese populations, in agreement with current theories on the peopling of Oceania. Thanks to this project, HLA genetic variation is more clearly defined worldwide and better interpreted in relation to human peopling history and HLA molecular evolution.

Abstract
Nonclassical human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-G and -E loci are separated by approximately 660 kb on the short arm of chromosome 6. Interestingly, some functional and expression characteristics are relatively identical or associated for both molecules. For example, expression of HLA-E on the cell surface has been linked to preferential binding of nonameric leader peptides derived from the signal sequence of HLA-G. It has been suggested that these two molecules act synergistically in modulating susceptibility to infectious or chronic inflammatory diseases. A possible explanation for these observations is that HLA-E and HLA-G are evolving under analogous selective pressures and have functions that place them under selective regimes differing from classical HLA genes. The purpose of this study was to investigate the consistency of this hypothesis based on the characterization of the molecular polymorphism of these two genes and their linkage disequilibrium (LD) in three populations, i.e. Southeastern French (n = 57), Teke Congolese (n = 84) and Tswa Pygmies (n = 74). Allelic frequencies observed for HLA-G and HLA-E and for 14-bp ins/del polymorphism in the three populations were similar to those observed in the literature for populations from corresponding geographic areas. Only one of the recently described HLA-G polymorphisms (HLA-G*01:07-01:16) was found, i.e. HLA-G*01:15 in one individual from Congo. We showed that two haplotypes in Tswa Pygmies, i.e. HLA-G*01:04-E*01:03:01 and G*01:04-E*01:01, exhibited highly significant positive and negative D' values respectively. Although these LD could have functional implications, it is more likely because of the genetic drift as the two other populations did not display any significant LD.

Abstract
The Marseille public hospital system (APHM) has expressed its willingness to pool its services of immunohematology and delivery of labile blood products with those of the French blood institute Alps Mediterranean division (EFS AM). An agreement setting out the terms of this partnership was signed between the two parties. The users of the APHM and EFS AM blood watch wished to preserve the channels of distribution. Implementation of this reorganization has focused on ensuring transfusional safety, reinforcing harmonization of APHM practices, and finding ways to reduce costs. Despite joint information campaigns (to medical and paramedical personnel) carried out by the APHM and EFS AM blood watch, problems have arisen during start-up and adjustments have been necessary on both sides. The success of this project hinges on the involvement of the EFS AM in our transfusional practices, deployment of a system for diffusion of information, and consolidation of physical and human resources at the level of the APHM blood watch.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ethnic-historic sources have considered the Comorian population to be the result of an amalgamation of African, Arabian and Southeast Asian groups. AIM This study seeks to determine the genetic relationships and contributions from Sub-Saharan Africa and Indian Oceania and to reconstruct past migration events. SUBJECTS AND METHODS The human leukocyte antigen (HLA) polymorphism of a Comorian population was described and analysed. RESULTS Genetic distances and multidimensional scaling analyses showed complex patterns of genetic differentiation in the Indian Oceanian area as a result of continuous gene flow occurring within the past approximately 2500 years. Nevertheless, the Comorian genetic pool appears to be a mix of Bantu-speaking and Arab populations as testified to by admixture estimations of almost 50-60% and 27-33%, respectively. CONCLUSION The Comorian population may represent the eastern limit of the recent and massive eastward Bantu expansion. In contrast to the population from Madagascar (Merina), only a restricted influence of Austronesian populations was found.

Abstract
Composite promoters combining the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) enhancer core element with promoter elements derived from gene coding for human prostate-specific transglutaminase gene, prostate-specific membrane antigen gene, prostate-specific antigen, rat probasin or phosphoglycerate kinase were characterized for their ability to specifically express the enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) gene in prostate versus non-prostate cancer cell lines when transferred with a human immunodeficiency virus-1-based lentiviral vector. By themselves minimal proximal promoter elements were found to inefficiently promote relevant tissue-specific expression; in all the vectors tested, addition of the PSA enhancer core element markedly improved EGFP expression in LnCaP, a cancer prostate cell line used as a model for prostate cancer. The composite promoter was inactive in HuH7, a hepatocarcinoma cell line used as a model of neighboring non-prostate cancer cells. Among the promoters tested, the combination of the PSA enhancer and the rat probasin promoter showed both high specificity and a strong EGFP expression. Neither a high viral input nor the presence of the cPPT/CTS sequence affected composite promoter behavior. Our data suggest that composite prostate-specific promoters constructed by combining key elements from various promoters can improve and/or confer tissue specific expression in a lentiviral vector context.

Abstract
Killer-cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIRs) expressed by natural killer cells are cell surface molecules able to recognize groups of HLA class I alleles. The number and distribution of KIR genes vary among individuals and populations. The aim of this study is to analyse the KIR gene content in a Comorian population in order to investigate genetic relationships with other populations and to reconstruct past migration events. The Comorian population consisted of 54 unrelated immigrants living in France and a control population consisted of 38 individuals from Southeast France. We investigated the presence or absence of 15 KIR genes, two pseudogenes expressed and non-expressed forms of KIR2DL5 and the two major subtype full-length and deleted forms of KIR2DS4. All individuals were typed positive for the framework genes, i.e. KIR2DL4, KIR3DL2 and KIR3DL3, and the two pseudogenes KIR3DP1 and KIR2DP1. The frequencies of full-length KIR2DS4 (*00101/00102/002) were lower in the French population (F = 29%) than in the Comorian population (F = 72%) (P(c) < 0.05). No significant differences were found for other KIR genes. A total of 11 genotypes were identified in the Southeast French population and 22 genotypes in the Comorian population. The most common genotype (2DL1, 2DL3, 2DL4, 3DL1, 3DL2, 3DL3 and 2DS4) accounted for 41% in the Comorian population and 34% in the Southeast French population. Principal component analysis using KIR gene data from 20 populations was performed to determine genetic differences and relations between populations. The Comorian population exhibited closest kinship with Africans and Asians. As KIR gene content is heterogeneous among ethnic groups, it can probably be used to assess the genetic relationships among populations from different geographic areas.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Complete deletion of the complete AZFc interval of the Y chromosome is the most common known genetic cause of human male infertility. Two partial AZFc deletions (gr/gr and b1/b3) that remove some copies of all AZFc genes have recently been identified in infertile and fertile populations, and an association study indicates that the resulting gene dose reduction represents a risk factor for spermatogenic failure. METHODS To determine the incidence of various partial AZFc deletions and their effect on fertility, we combined quantitative and qualitative analyses of the AZFc interval at the DAZ and CDY1 loci in 300 infertile men and 399 control men. RESULTS We detected 34 partial AZFc deletions (32 gr/gr deletions), arising from at least 19 independent deletion events, and found gr/gr deletion in 6% of infertile and 3.5% of control men (p>0.05). Our data provide evidence for two large AZFc inversion polymorphisms, and for relative hot and cold spots of unequal crossing over within the blocks of homology that mediate gr/gr deletion. Using SFVs (sequence family variants), we discriminate DAZ1/2, DAZ3/4, CDY1a (proximal), and CDY1b (distal) and define four types of DAZ-CDY1 gr/gr deletion. CONCLUSIONS The only deletion type to show an association with infertility was DAZ3/4-CDY1a (p = 0.042), suggesting that most gr/gr deletions are neutral variants. We see a stronger association, however, between loss of the CDY1a SFV and infertility (p = 0.002). Thus, loss of this SFV through deletion or gene conversion could be a major risk factor for male infertility.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The risk of immunohemolytic reaction owing to ABO-mismatched mistransfusion is 100 to 1000 times higher than the risk of viral infection. Like analysis of incident reports, evaluation of near-miss events can provide useful insight into hazardous situations for mis-matched blood transfusion. The aim of this prospective study was to assess the incidence and root causes of all ABO discrepancies, detected by a central hematology laboratory, in blood samples referred from 35 district hospitals. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS ABO discrepancies were detected by comparing either two current blood specimens or a current and historical specimen collected over a 5-year study period. Discrepancies were investigated by retyping new samples, checking sample identification, and reviewing previous hospital records. RESULTS A total of 118 ABO discrepancies were discovered in a series of 407,769 tests carried out during the study period. The incidence of ABO discrepancies was 1 per 3,400. This figure was 10 times higher than the incidence of ABO-mismatched transfusions. Most of these ABO discrepancies were due to phlebotomy errors, that is, collection from wrong patient. The second most common cause involved clerical errors during patient registration or identification. CONCLUSION ABO discrepancies can result from errors made not only by the medical staff during phlebotomy but also to by the clerical staff during registration and identification. These findings emphasize the need to standardize data transmission between health care personnel.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Cutaneous melanoma prevention has become a public health issue. The incidence of this cancer has been steadily growing for 50 years, and the related death ratio is not decreasing. Today, the surgical resection of a thin lesion is the only validated curative treatment. The early detection of melanoma represents a major line in the management of such tumours. METHODS Occupational physicians of the PACA area were invited to participate in a campaign for the screening of pigmented suspect cutaneous lesions for 2 years. Voluntary physicians were trained to use the ABCDEF diagnostic criterion. Lesions were detected during regular yearly consultations (1998/1999) and the data concerning the development and care of these lesions was collected during consultations over the following year (1999/2000). RESULTS Two hundred and fifty occupational physicians of the PACA area participated in the campaign. Two pre-cancerous lesions and 10 cancers (5 melanoma and 5 pigmented basocellular carcinoma) were found among the 487 suspect lesions detected. Each melanoma had a Breslow score of less than 0.9 mm and were of good or even excellent prognosis. CONCLUSION The cutaneous examination, although rapid, during the occupational medicine consultations, is an effective means of detecting the early onset tumoral lesions which, at that stage may potentially be cured. The ABCDEF criterion is a useful diagnostic tool and should be taught to the all the medical and paramedical staff.

Abstract
Cross-matching between the serum of a patient and the red blood cells to be transfused is most important for the prevention of hemolytic transfusion reactions in allo-immunized or new-born patients found positive with direct antiglobulin test. Cross-matching is a time-consuming and complex laboratory test. In order to obtain valid results, it is necessary to abide by some technical rules detailed in this article. The choice of the blood units to be cross-matched depends on the patient's clinical story and on the specificity of anti-erythrocyte antibodies present in the serum. The identification and the management of most frequent difficulties met by using the cross-match technique are discussed hereby.

Abstract
This work evaluates the impact of the removal of the anti-AB reagents and A2 test-red blood cells on the interpretation of ABO blood grouping. The first step of the work was a multicentric study concerning the interpretation of "all coming" blood groupings, reporting the results of 105 195 ABO blood groupings of donors and patients carried out on microplates using an automated or a half-automated technique. Their interpretation was performed following four different methods, in order to appreciate the impact on the results of the removal of either anti-AB test-serum, A2 test-red blood cells, or the combination of both. Moreover, a qualitative and quantitative analysis of the interpretations of the blood groupings that were initially not performed (rejections), was carried out in order to determine the most often implied reagent and to quantify a possible gain in interpretation after removing it. A complementary study of the same type concerning more specifically weak ABO phenotypes was carried out to evaluate, in terms of sanitary risks, the consequences of a possible non-interpretation of these phenotypes in patients who would be potential receivers of blood cell products, and in blood donors.

Abstract
Immune security of blood donation is defined by all means aiming at reducing or eliminating the immune risk related to blood donation. It concerns the whole transfusion process from the blood donor to the receiver. The immune risk of blood donation is directly related to the polymorphism of molecular and cellular blood groups systems. Immune security consists in avoiding the meeting of antigens and augmented by the direct baneful consequences of the immune conflict. This requires the previous immune characterisation of blood products and of the patients and of their compatibility, which must be strongly maintained along the transfusion process. To control this process, which is still too much deficient, represents the true guarantee of immune security of blood donation.

Abstract
This study presents the results of HLA-DRB1 and DQB1 sequence-specific oligonucleotide probe (SSOP) typing for a population sample of 181 individuals originating from southern France. On the basis of allele and haplotype frequencies, we compared our population with others from the Mediterranean area. Allele frequencies are comparable to those found in other western European populations (France, Portugal, Spain) and indicate neighboring exchanges. The haplotype frequencies showed relationships with North Africans and Jewish populations, as well as the common origin of Moroccan and Lebanese Jews. Therefore, allele frequencies seem to be more able to show recent exchanges while haplotype frequencies might show ancestral relationships. These results may serve as references for future studies of HLA and disease in southern France.

Abstract
In a transfusional or foeto-maternal context, hemolysis by incompatibility due to anti-erythrocyte antibodies (regular or irregular) remains the most frequent and most serious immunological risk in the receiver. In order to prevent this risk, a number of actions must be taken, such as the realization of the immunohematologic analyses for which the methodological practices have been legislated because of their serious clinical consequences. Several elements play a role in the reliability of the analyses and their results: the selection of the reagents and their validation in the routine technique used; the validation of reception; the controls involved in secondary preparations (e.g., blood cells reagent); and the daily internal controls. All this requires the choice of adapted controls and the management of possible anomalies.

Abstract
The immunogenic nature of erythrocyte polymorphism is in variance with the incompatible transfusion. Indeed, the fixing of an antibody on the corresponding antigen generally condemns the cell concerned with its destruction. Therefore, in order to ensure the immunohemolytic safety of the transfusions, it is necessary to avoid an in vivo encounter between antigens and antibodies, whose feasibility study in vitro is a determining element. Because of the requirement standards of such analyses and the preoccupation with the continuous improvement of transfusion safety, the evolution of the methods used in immunohematology is a constant concern for all those involved in the process. Thus, during the last few years, new technologies have been introduced which aim at improving performance and sometimes implementing alternatives to agglutination. This improvement is not limited to the search for an overall increase in specificity-sensitivity; it also takes into account the capability to detect "the clinically significant" as well as the limitations of human reliability, which justifies the introduction of automation and computerization. The whole of these methodological evolutions associated with that of the performance of reagents, legitimate the need to reconsider the realization of erythrocyte typing and the search for anti-erythrocyte antibodies.

Abstract
The sanitary and social data interchange within care establishments or networks is today the subject of many national or international considerations. Electronic data interchange in the health field has characteristics linked to ethical and deontological principles of care staff. Used daily, this tool contributes to the quality of care, to the optimization of patient treatment and to the organization of the system care. In the transfusion field, the standardization of messages related to the traceability of blood products in now required by the No. 2 instruction of French Blood Agency, which rules the using of national norms elaborated by the French Agency of Normalization. If the technicality is the greater part of these regulated and formalized messages, this standardization systematizes and justifies the nominative and ciphered data interchange in an open environment, opening a new dimension in the interoperability of data system between care establishments. This article analyzes the characteristics and the potential impact of this normalization on the evolution of the electronic data interchange in the health field.

Abstract
Since the discovery of the first human blood groups, the terminology for erythrocyte blood group antigens has evolved and become inconsistent. In some cases, a single letter is used (eg, A/B, E/e), in some others a symbol with a superscript to denote allelic products is used (eg, Fya/Fyb, Jka/Jkb) while in still others, a numerical notation is used (eg, Fy3, Lu4, K11). Even within the same blood group system, antigens have been named by different terminology (eg, K/k, Kpa/Kpb, K11/K17) and the same antigen was given different names in different laboratories. Therefore a necessary alternative 'popular' terminology was suggested by the ISBT (International Society of Blood Transfusion) Working Party; In its last monograph, published in 1995 and reviewed in 1996, erythrocyte blood group antigens are classified into 23 systems, 5 collections and 2 series. The Working Party also suggested guidelines for establishing new blood group systems and including new specificities into the nomenclature.
