Article Synopsis
  • * A new method was developed to identify female carriers of α-thalassemia using non-invasive prenatal test samples, finding that 7.76% of 68,885 Vietnamese pregnant women carried deletions related to the disorder.
  • * The approach showed high accuracy, with F1-scores between 94.74% and 99.55% for detecting various genotypes, and it suggests that using cfDNA from prenatal tests could be a cost-effective way to identify carriers of α-thalassemia.

Nitric oxide (NO) produced by inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) is responsible for sepsis-induced hypotension and plays a major contributory role in the ensuing multiorgan failure. The present study aimed to elucidate the role of endothelial NO in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced iNOS expression, in isolated rat aortic rings. Exposure to LPS (1 mug/ml, 5 h) resulted in a reversal of phenylephrine precontracted tone in aortic rings (70.
