Background: Progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC) is an autosomal recessive diseases.Objective and hypotheses: To explore the characterization of ATP8B1, ABCB11 and ABCB4 gene mutational spectrum in children from South China.Method: By using PCR combined with direct DNA sequencing for 32 patients.Results: Six patients were diagnosed as PFIC.Conclusion: Six novel mutations...

Background: 3-Ketothiolase deficiency (3KTD) is an inherited error of metabolism affecting isoleucine catabolism and ketone body utilization. This disorder is clinically characterized by intermittent ketoacidotic episodes with no clinical symptoms.Objective and hypotheses: To research the gene mutation of 3 acetoacetyl-CoA thiolase in non-diabetic ketoacidosis and provide a basis for diagnosis of 3KTD.To reveal the role of 3 acetoacetyl-CoA thiolase in i...

Objective: To study the effect of orexin deficiency on metabolic and pubertal characteristics in narcoleptic children, we compared the metabolic and pubertal alterations between 15 children with narcolepsy with cataplexy (NC) and 15 control children matched for age, body mass index (BMI) z score.Method: Narcoleptic data were collected from the Reference Center for Narcolepsy and control common obese data from the department of pediatric endocrinology in ...

Background: FLNB encodes filamin B (FLNB), a protein expressed in human growth plate chondrocytes, building the cytoskeleton that gives structure to cells and allows them to change shape and move. Biallelic loss-of-function mutations in FLNB result in spondylocarpotarsal synostosis (SCT; OMIM: 272460), while heterozygous null mutations related isolated short stature (ISS) have not been well described previously.Objective:</strong...

Objective: To investigate the clinical efficacy of GnRHa in the treatment of girls with post-menarche in ICPP or rapidly progressive puberty（RPP）. To analyze the effect of GnRHa combined with rhGH on growth velocity (GV) and predicted adult height (PAH) in the process of GnRHa treatment with too low growth velocity.Methods: Retrospective analysis of the clinical data of 55 post-menarche ICPP/RPP girls withi...

Objective: To investigate the early predictors of serum IGF-1, DHEAS, AMH and BMP-6 in rapidly progressive puberty girls.Methods: 750 cases of central precocious puberty(CPP), early puberty(EP) and rapidly progressive puberty(RPP) in Children's hospital of Soochow university were recruited from August 2017 to December 2018. After follow-up six months to one year, 138 girls were divided into CPP(n=32), EP...

Background: Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) and inhibin B (INHB) are two hormones investigated as markers of ovarian reserve in female. serum AMH and INHB levels change through the progression of puberty, and might be markers for identifying pubertal progression rate in girls.Objective and hypotheses: To invetigate serum AMH and INHB levels as markers of pubertal progression rate in girls with central precocious puberty (CPP).Met...

Background: Now in many causes of precocious puberty, thinking of environmental endocrine disruptors (EDCs) is one of the causes. Bisphenol A (BPA), as a kind of environmental endocrine disruptors, can interfere with normal endocrine activities. But up to now, there is few reports of the influence of BPA in premature thelarche (PT) of below 2 years girls.Objective and hypotheses: To investigate the association between BPA and premature thelarche in 6 mon...

Background: It is now widely accepted that chemical pollutants in the environment can interfere with the endocrine system. The impact of endocrine disrupting chemicals on puberty disorders is concerned. bisphenol-A (BPA) has been measured in fetal plasma. There are different toxic effects with different doses of BPA.Objective and hypotheses: To observe vaginal opening day (VOD) hypothalamic kiss-1 gene and ovarian estrogen receptors (ER) gene expression ...
