Objective To investigate genotyps of Treponema pallidum (Tp) in several cities in Guangxi province. Methods A total of 300 patients with suspected early syphilis were enrolled from STD clinics in Guangxi between January 2012 and July 2016, and tissue fluid samples were collected from skin lesions. Silver staining was performed to detect Tp, and PCR to amplify the Tp polA gene for the diagnosis of early syphilis. Positive samples were subjected to PCR amplification of a 60-bp tandem repeat region within the arp gene, restriction fragment length polymorphism(RFLP)analysis of the tpr Ⅱgene after digestion with Mse Ⅰ enzyme and tp0548 genotyping. Results Finally, 215 patients were diagnosed with early syphilis, including 210(97.7%)patients positive for PCR and 105(48.8%)patients positive for silver staining, and the positive rate significantly differed between the two methods (χ2 = 103.01, P < 0.05). Among the PCR-positive samples, 190 could be genotyped by analysis of three target genes, and 17 genotypes were identified. The genotype 14d/f was predominant (45.3%, 86/190), followed by 15d/f (13.7%, 26/190), 16d/f(11.6%, 22/190), 17d/f(7.4%, 14/190), 13d/f(6.8%, 13/190), 10d/f(4.2%, 8/190), 18d/f(1.6%, 3/190), 16a/f(1.6%, 3/190), 5d/f(1.1%, 2/190), 7d/f(1.1%, 2/190), 12d/f(1.1%, 2/190), 16d/e(1.1%, 2/190), 14a/f(1.1%, 2/190), 9h/c(1.1%, 2/190), 15l/f(0.5%, 1/190), 25a/e(0.5%, 1/190), 15i/f(0.5%, 1/190). Conclusion Tp genotypes are diversified in patients with early syphilis in Guangxi, and the genotype 14 d/f is predominant.

Objective This study was conducted to analyze the clinical characteristics and pituitary function of patients with primary empty sella (PES).Methods The clinical data from 123 hospitalized adult patients with PES from January 2010 to May 2016 were retrospectively studied.Results (1) The average age of the 123 (male 43,female 80) PES patients was (59.2 ± 13.6) years (ranging 24-92 years),among whom 61% patients were in the age group between 50-69 years.(2) The symptoms of the patients included fatigue (56.1%),headache (34.1%),nausea and vomiting (17.9%),gonadal dysfunction (17.1%),visual disturbance (5.7%) and hypopituitarism crisis (3.3%).(3) Hypopituitarism was found in 66 of the 123 patients.Among them,36.6%,31.7% and 17.1% were central hypoadrenalism,hypogonadism,and hypothyroidism,respectively.The percentage of hypopituitarism in complete PES was significantly higher than that in partial PES (P < 0.05).(4) Sixteen patients were concomitant with other autoimmune diseases including 11 patients with Graves' disease and 2 with Cushing's syndrome due to adrenal adenoma.Conclusions The incidence of hypopituitarism in PES was 53.7%,in which the pituitary-adrenal axis hypofunction was more common.An overall evaluation of the pituitary function was essential for the patients who had headache and fatigue,or with suspected PES.The patients with hypopituitarism should be given hormone replacement therapy in time and followed up afterword.
