Objective:To explore the genotypes and frequency distribution of thalassemia in Lingui District,Guilin City,and provide reference for the prevention and control of thalassemia in this area. Methods:The results of genetic testing for thalassemia in 1501 suspected cases at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Guilin Medical University were analyzed retrospectively. The deletional mutations of α-thalassemia were detected by gap-PCR,the non-deletional mutations of α-thalassemia and β-thalassemia mutations were detected by PCR-reverse dot blot (PCR-RDB). Results:In 1501 samples,a total of 678 cases of thalassemia carriers were detected,with a detection rate of 45.17%. Among them,379 cases were α-thalassemia (including deletional α-thalassemia and non-deletional α-thalassemia),with a detection rate of 25.25%,the most common genotype was--SEA/αα (227 cases,15.12%),followed by-α3.7/αα (53 cases,3.53%). 270 cases of β-thalassemia were detected,with a detction rate of 17.99%,and βCD41-42/βN (144 cases,9.59%) was the main genotypes,followed by βCD17/βN (66 cases,4.40%) . In addition,there were 29 cases of αβ compound thalassemia,accounting for 1.93%,and the most common genotype was--SEA/αα complex βCD41-42/βN (5 cases,0.33%). Conclusion:Lingui District in Guilin City is a high-incidence area of thalassemia,and the genotypes of carriers are complex and diverse,with genetic heterogeneity. The results of this study provide a scientific basis for genetic counseling and prenatal diagnosis in this area.

We present a case of nephrogenic diabetes insipidus secondary to primary Sj?gren′s syndrome. At onset, the patient exhibited a urine output of up to 10 liter per day. Diagnostic evaluation and clinical features confirmed renal diabetes insipidus due to primary Sj?gren′s syndrome. A review of the literature indicates that primary Sj?gren′s syndrome can involve renal manifestations, including renal tubulointerstitial inflammation and impaired renal concentration ability. However, nephrogenic diabetes insipidus with such high urine output is uncommon. Management of this condition requires proactive control of the underlying disease, potassium supplementation, and urine management.

Objective:To explore the mechanism of hypertension inducing erectile dysfunction(ED)using transcriptomics and network pharmacology.Methods:We randomly divided 12 male rats with spontaneous hypertension(SHT)into an L-arginine(LA)group(n=6)and an SHT model control(MC)group(n=6),took another 6 Wistar Kyoto male rats as normal controls(NC),and treated the animals in the LA group by intraperitoneal injection of LA at 400 mg/kg and those in the latter two groups with physio-logical saline,once a day,all for 7 days.Then we observed the blood pressure and penile erection of the rats,and determined the ex-pressions of the cGMP/PKG signaling pathway-related proteins and mRNAs in different groups using ELISA,Western blot and RT-qPCR.Results:Transcriptomics combined with network pharmacology showed that the cGMP/PKG signaling pathway played a key role in hypertension-induced ED.In vivo animal experiments revealed a significantly lower frequency of penile erections in the MC than in the NC group(1.33±0.52 vs 2.67±0.51,P<0.05).The protein expressions of eNOS,PKG and sGC were markedly de-creased in the model controls compared with those the normal controls(P<0.05),but remarkably upregulated in the LA group com-pared with those in the MC group(P<0.05).Conclusion:Hypertension decreases the expressions of eNOS,NO,sGC,cGMP and PKG proteins and the level of testosterone by inhibiting the cGMP/PKG signaling pathway,which consequently suppresses the relaxa-tion of the penile vascular smooth muscle and reduces erectile function.
