Objective: To summarize the diagnosis and treatment of a rare 46XY DSD cause: Denys-Drash syndrome.Methods: To summarize the clinical manifestations, laboratory tests, diagnosis and treatment of a rare 46XY DSD cause presenting with hemolytic uremic syndrome: Denys-Drash syndrome (WT1 mutation).Results: Female, 2 years and 4 months, were admitted to the hospital at 2018-11-7 becaus...

Background and aims: The physical growth of late preterm infants (LPI) is unknown, to investigate the growth of LPIs to provide the basis for growth evaluation of LPI.Methods: Infants were recruited for a cohort study in Department of Primary Child Health Care, Children’s Hospital, Chongqing Medical University from May 2010 to November 2011. LPI and full term infants (FTI) were compared in terms of weight for age Z-scores (WAZ), length for ...

Objective: The purpose of this article is to retrospectively summarize the disease types and prognosis analysis of children's nonthyroid illness syndrome (NTIS), improve the diagnostic awareness of children's NTIS, and explore whether thyroxine replacement therapy is required or whether the body has a self-healing trend.Methods: The clinical data of 47 cases (32 males and 15 females) of NTIS diagnosed in variou...

Background: We report clinical and molecular cytogenetic characterization of a 13-year-7-month-old boy with a Sotos-like phenotype and de novo NFIX deletions and review the literature.Result: A whole exome sequencing revealed in the present patient with unique clinical phenotypes a de novo frameshift mutation c.570-573delATCA (p.S191Ifs*19) in NFIX gene in 19p13.2.Discussion: The p...

Gynecologic anomalies, including uterine agenesis and ovarian dysgenesis, are reported in clinical practice of reproductive endocrinology. They are some of several differential diagnoses in adolescent females with primary amenorrhea and delayed puberty. Primary ovarian insufficiency can be determined by conducting sex hormone tests to evaluate the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis, but accurate confirmation of Mullerian agenesis can be extremely challenging by image modaliti...

Background: Mannose binding lectin (MBL) is an important innate immune molecule and is previously found to be related to artery damage in some diseases as SLE rheumatoid arthritis and severe atherosclerosis. However, its role in artery change is still contradictory according to different studies. We found the carotid intima–media thickness (CIMT) increased in obese children which indicated an early change of atherosclerosis.Objective and hypotheses:...

Background: Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disease (AID) whose primary features include progressive pancreatic β cell damage and absolute insufficient endogenous insulin secretion. Recent studies have shown that a Th1/Th2 cell subset unbalance and excessively activated B lymphocytes are important pathogenic mechanisms.Objective and hypotheses: To investigate the protective effects of Adenovirus-mediated IL-10 gene and anti-CD20 monoclonal an...

Background: Micropenis may result from different aetiology and therapy data are still scarce.Objective and hypotheses: To investigate the effect and safety of dihydrotestosterone transdermal gel in children with micropenis.Method: Totally 23 agnogenic micropenis children with 46,XY karyotype were recruited to participate a perspective study. SRY, AR and SRD5A2 gene were sequenced. 2.5% DHT gel was applied individually based on the ...

Introduction: To investigate the protective effects of combined intervention with adenovirus vector mediated interleukin 10 (IL10) and IGF1 genes on islet β cells in nonobese diabetes (NOD) mice with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D) at early stage.Methods: Twenty-four female NOD mice at onset of diabetes and aged 17–20 weeks old were randomly divided into four groups. Mouse 1, 2, and 3 groups were i.p. injected 0.1 ml of Ad-mIGF1, Ad-mIL10, and c...

Purpose: The causes of obesity is so much that the pandemic spread the global. The inherited factors have a profound effect on body fat mass, as well as the environmental factors. Out of these, the foremost is genetic factors that tend to early childhood obesity. The consensus recommended that genetic testing is necessary for serious early onset obesity to identify the pathogenic genes of inherited obesity. In order to improve the positive rate of genetic test...
