    Abstract Purpose: To examine the relationship between socioeconomic inequalities and oral health among adults in the Guangxi province of China.
    Materials and methods: The present work was designed as a cross-sectional study, and comprises a secondary analysis of the Fourth National Oral Health Survey from 2015-2016. A multistage cluster sampling method was adopted for this survey, conducted in three urban and three rural districts Guangxi province. Dental examinations were conducted to determine oral health indicators: decayed teeth (DT), clinical attachment loss (CAL) and missing teeth (MT). The outcome measures were DT, CAL and MT. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data on demographic characteristics and socioeconomic status (SES). Multiple logistic regression models were used to analyse the relationship between SES and oral health by adjusting covariates.
    Results: The sample consisted of 651 participants aged 35-74 years. Logisitic analysis showed a statistically significant association between SES and oral health indicators. In the fully adjusted model, participants with primary education were more likely to suffer more DT (OR = 2.67, 95% CI: 1.17-6.10), teeth with CAL ≥ 4 mm (OR = 2.15, 95% CI: 1.25-3.67) and MT (OR = 3.04, 95% CI: 1.65-5.60) compared to the higher education group. Participants with secondary education exhibited a higher likelihood of experiencing increased MT compared to those in the higher education group in the fully adjusted model (OR = 3.21, 95% CI: 1.78-5.76). Household income was associated with DT and MT in the unadjusted model only.
    Conclusions: There was strong relationship between SES and oral health of adults. The survey suggested a relationship between low educational attainment and oral health.

    Abstract Objective: To understand the genotype and distribution of thalassemia in northern Guangxi.
    Methods: The study subjects were 55,281 individuals who came to the Affiliated Hospital of Guilin Medical University for genetic diagnosis of thalassemia from January 2012 to August 2023. All of their household registration was in the precincts of Guibei District and its affiliated counties. Red blood cell parameters and hemoglobin analysis were used for thalassemia screening. Gap-PCR, PCR-reverse dot blot hybridization (PCR-RDB), and multicolor melting curve analysis (MMCA) were used to identify common thalassemia genes. Multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA), Sanger sequencing, and third-generation single-molecule real-time (SMRT) sequencing were employed to identify rare thalassemia genes.
    Results: Among the 55,281 samples, 16,442 (29.74%) were diagnosed with thalassemia. The detection rates of α, β, and α combined β-thalassemia were 18.57%, 9.99% and 1.18%, respectively. Among ethnical groups, allele mutation frequency of thalassemia was the highest in Zhuang (44.97%), followed by Yao (40.11%), Dong (31.33%), Han (29.85%), Miao (24.31%), and Hui (20.6%). A total of 11,659 alleles (21.09%) of 8 types of α-thalassemia were identified in 55,281 samples, primarily --
    Conclusion: The population in northern Guangxi exhibited rich ethnic diversity, with high allelic carrying rates among the Zhuang, Yao and Dong ethnic groups. Thalassemia gene mutations are diverse, encompassing a variety of gene types, with α thalassemia predominating, notably the --

    Abstract Guangxi is a typical geological high background area in southwest China, where carbonates, black rock series, basic-ultrabasic rock mass, and metal deposits (mineralized bodies) exhibit strong weathering into loam, resulting in higher cadmium (Cd) content in the soil than that in other areas of China. In order to investigate the degree of influence of mining activities on topsoil environmental quality in the area with high geological background, we chose a mining area and control area in Hezhou for this research and systematically carried out a comparative study on Cd transport routes and transport flux density in topsoil. The results showed that the average atmospheric dry and wet deposition flux densities of Cd in the soil of the mining area and control area were 1.87 g·(hm

    Abstract The aim of this study was to analyze the epidemiological characteristics and pathogen spectrum of tinea capitis in Guangxi, southern China. A multicenter prospective descriptive study was conducted in 8 hospitals across Guangxi. From January 2019 to July 2022, one hundred seventy-one (171) patients diagnosed with tinea capitis were included. Demographic data, risk factors, and fungal data were collected. If necessary, species were further identified by morphological or molecular sequencing in the central laboratory. Of the 171 cases of tinea capitis, 74.3% occurred in patients aged 2-8 years. Children with tinea capitis were mainly boys (59.6%) and were more likely than adults to have a history of animal contact (44.2% vs. 33.3%) and zoophilic dermatophyte infection (76.9% vs. 46.7%, P = 0.008). The adults were mainly female (53%) and were more likely than children to have a history of infection with anthropophilic organisms (53.3% vs. 18.9%). The causative agents of tinea capitis in Guangxi were diverse, and the most common pathogen was Microsporum canis (M. cani, n = 98, 62%), followed by Trichophyton mentagrophytes (T. mentagrophytes n = 18, 11.4%) and Trichophyton tonsurans (T. tonsurans n = 12, 7.6%). In addition, tinea capitis caused by Nannizzia incurvata (N. incurvata) and Trichophyton verrucosum (T. verrucosum) was detected in the study. Notably, the proportion of patients with kerion in the study was 41.5% (n = 71), and most of those patients were children (n = 68), especially neglected children living in the rural mountainous areas of Guangxi, where they were unable to receive timely diagnosis and appropriate treatment. In conclusion, the causative agents of tinea capitis in Guangxi, South China, are diverse, and the incidence of kerion is high, indicating that diagnosis and treatment modalities in the region remain grossly inadequate. Clinicians and policy-makers should collaborate to adopt public health strategies to control the disease.

    Abstract The burden of extrapulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB) has gradually increased in recent years, but not enough epidemiological data is available from central Guangxi. To better understand the epidemiology of EPTB in central Guangxi and identify risk factors associated with them, we retrospectively investigated the epidemiology of tuberculosis (TB), especially EPTB, among patients admitted to the Chest Hospital of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region between 2016 and 2021. We excluded those infected with both pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) and EPTB, reported the proportion and incidence of PTB or EPTB, and compared the demographic characteristics and risk factors of EPTB and PTB cases using univariate and multivariate logistic regression models. Among 30,893 TB patients, 67.25% (20,774) had PTB and 32.75% (10,119) had EPTB. Among EPTB, pleural, skeletal, lymphatic, pericardial, meningeal, genitourinary, intestinal, and peritoneal TB accounted for 49.44%, 27.20%, 8.55%, 4.39%, 3.36%, 1.48%, 0.87%, and 0.79%, respectively. Patients who were younger (age < 25), from rural areas, Zhuang and other ethnic groups, and diagnosed with anemia and HIV infection were more likely to develop EPTB. However, patients with diabetes and COPD were less likely to have EPTB. From 2016 to 2021, the proportion of PTB cases decreased from 69.73 to 64.07%. The percentage of EPTB cases increased from 30.27 to 35.93%, with the largest increase in skeletal TB from 21.48 to 34.13%. The epidemiology and risk factors of EPTB in central Guangxi are different from those of PTB. The incidence of EPTB is increasing and further studies are needed to determine the reasons for it.

    Abstract Groundwater is a main source of water supply in Guangxi Province, China. The urbanization expansion and ocean dynamic may change the groundwater quality, which is an important issue due to its effects on human health. In this paper, the influence of seawater intrusion and anthropogenic activity on the Guangxi coastal aquatic environment was assessed by geochemical and multivariate statistical methods. The result indicated that the chemical composition of groundwater in the study area is obviously associated with seawater and the main groundwater types were Ca·Na-Cl, Ca·Na-HCO

    Abstract Japanese encephalitis (JE) is a major global public health threat. Using Japanese encephalitis incidence data from 2004 to 2010 in Guangxi Province, China, this study comprehensively explored the driving forces and the interactive effects between environmental and social factors of Japanese encephalitis using the Geo-detector method. The results indicated that the incidence of Japanese encephalitis showed a fluctuating downward trend from 2004 to 2010. The onset of JE was seasonal, mainly concentrated in June-July, and highly aggregated in northwestern Guangxi. Among the factors associated with Japanese encephalitis, days with temperatures >30 °C, accumulated temperatures >25 °C, slope, the normalized difference vegetation index, the gross domestic product of tertiary industries, the gross domestic product of primary industries and the number of pigs slaughtered showed higher contributions to Japanese encephalitis incidence. An enhanced interactive effect was found between environmental and social factors, and the interaction between days with humidity levels >80% and the gross domestic product of tertiary industries had the greatest combined effect on JE. These findings enhanced the understanding of the combined effect of social and environmental factors on the incidence of Japanese encephalitis and could help improve Japanese encephalitis transmission control and prevention strategies.

    Abstract Introduction: To explore the epidemiological characteristics of ankylosing spondylitis (AS) in Guangxi Province of China through a large sample survey of more than 50 million aboriginal aboriginal population.
    Material and methods: A systematic search was conducted using the International Classification of Diseases 10 (ICD-10) codes M45.x00(AS), M45.x03+(AS with iridocyclitis), and M40.101(AS with kyphosis) to search the database in the National Health Statistics Network Direct Reporting System (NHSNDRS). 14004 patients were eventually included in the study. The parameters analyzed included the number of patients, gender, marriage, blood type, occupation, age at diagnosis, and location of household registration data each year, and statistical analysis was performed.
    Results: AS incidence rates increased from 1.30 (95% CI: 1.20-1.40) per 100,000 person-years in 2014 to 5.71 (95% CI: 5.50-5.92) in 2020 in Guangxi Province, and decreased slightly in 2021. Males have a higher incidence than females; the ratio was 5.61 : 1. The mean age of diagnosis in male patients was 45.4 (95% CI: 45.1-45.7) years, in females 47.6 (95% CI: 46.8-48.4) years. The most frequent blood type was O, and the most frequent occupation was farmer. The AS incidence rate was disparate in different cities. Liuzhou city had the highest eight-year average AS incidence rates from 2014 to 2021, and Chongzuo city had the lowest (
    Conclusions: The AS person-years incidence rate was increasing in Guangxi province of China from 2014 to 2020, which had obvious gender and regional differences, showing the characteristics of local area aggregation.

    Abstract Soils developed in karst regions have naturally high background values of molybdenum (Mo) due to geological factors. However, the enrichment mechanism of Mo in these soils are not fully understood, making it challenging to assess their ecological risk and utilize Mo-rich land resources. To shed light on this issue, this study collected and analyzed data from the 1:50,000 geochemical survey in Guangxi, including 536,503 sets of soil data and 3043 sets of rock data, as well as 40 sets of carbonate rock-soil from typical karst regions. The results showed that soil Mo enrichment is highly correlated with the distribution of carbonate rocks in karst regions. The carbonate rocks in these regions contain Mo ranging from 0.03 to 1.06 mg·kg
