Objectives: Estrogen is a key hormone to promote epiphyseal closure. So the inhibition of estrogen production can prolong the growth time of adolescent children. Therefore, aromatase inhibitors can be applied to adolescent children who has older bone age. In addition to reduction of the estrogen levels, it can promote linear growth. This study analyzed the safety and efficacy of letrozole in children for clinical reference.Method...

Background: In this study we anaysed the epidemiology, clinical characteristics, immunological and metabolic factors in children with type 1 diabetes (T1DM).Methods: From January 2009 to January 2023, children with T1DM. were enrolled in this study. 79 healthy children were recruited as the control group.Results: A total of 357 children with T1DM were included, including 177 males ...

Objective: To explore the relationship between overweight, obesity and development of children aged 3 ~ 18 years in Jiangxi Province From 2017 to 2020, a cross-sectional survey was conducted among 36,009 children aged 3-18 years in Jiangxi Province, and the possible influencing factors of obesity and precocious puberty were studied by single factor Logistic regression with SPSS 26.0 software According to the development of BMIS, the correlation between BMI and...

Background: Girls diagnosed with central precocious puberty (CPP) or early and fast puberty (EFP) tend to exhibit temporarily rapid acceleration in growth due to increased sex hormone production or exposure, leading to premature closure of the growth plate and a shorter final adult height (FAH). Rapid progression of the secondary sexual characteristics in children can also cause poor social adaptability, psychological stress, and emotional disorders. CPP/EFP c...

Background: Early timing of puberty is associated with worse cardiometabolic health in adulthood. Furthermore, birth weight (BW) is recognized to have implications for pubertal development and cardiometabolic risk factors. The study aimed to examine the independent association between birth size, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS) and cardiometabolic risk factors in idiopathic central precocious puberty (ICPP) girls.Methods:<...

Introduction: Congenital hypothyroidism is defined as thyroid hormone deficiency present at birth. It is the most common congenital endocrine disorder. Neonatal screening test for hypothyroidism can allow its early detection. The course of disease can be permanent or transient. Some permanent congenital hypothyroidism has been linked to defects in proteins involved in the synthesis of thyroid hormones. One of the critical steps in the synthesis of thyroid hormone is the genera...

Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) in childhood was mostly type 1 DM (T1DM), but sometimes it is not easy to classify, especially in the case having both type 2 clinical phenotype and autoantibody positivity. It is named as latent autoimmune diabetes in youth or type 1.5 DM (T1.5DM).Objective and hypotheses: This study was designed to evaluate the clinical characteristics of T1.5DM who had autoantibody positivity with clinical phenotype of T2DM.<p cl...
