Objective To study the action of Mycoplasma genitulium (Mg) in pathogenesis of chronic non-bacterial prostatitis. Methods Mg culture and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) were perfomed on prostatic secretion specimens from 987 patients with chronic non-bacterial pristatitis and 125 healthy men. Results ①The positive rate of Mg in the prostatic secretion from the 987 patients was 31.5% (302/987). Among the 302 positive cases, 153 cases had other pathogens, of which Ureaplasma urealyticum (Uu) was the most (128). ②In the controls, the positive rate of Mg was 2. 53% (3/125). The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (X2=44. 32,P

OBJECTIVE To explore the genetic basis for a family affected with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS). METHODS Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood and oral swab samples from the patient and her relatives. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) was used to analyze 106 target genes by capturing the exons and adjacent intronic regions. Suspected pathogenic mutation was verified by NGS. RESULTS A missense STK11 mutation was detected in the proband, which was not reported previously. The mutation has caused substitution of Leucine by Proline. NGS has detected the same mutation in the mother but not among other relatives. CONCLUSION This hereditary case of PJS may be attributed to the missense mutation of the STK11 gene.
