Objective and hypotheses: To compare the different efficacies between recombinant human GH (rhGH) alone and rhGH combined with low does stanozolol on improving growth of the girls with Turner syndrome (TS).Method: TS girls were divided into two groups. Group 1 (15 cases) received rhGH therapy, aged (13.09±2.70) years, bone age (11.00±1.01) years, height was (131.46±8.22) cm. Group 2 (22 cases) received low does stanozolol combined with rhG...

Background: X-linked Adrenal Hypoplasia Congenita (AHC) is a very rare hereditary cause of pediatric primary adrenal insufficiency (PAI). Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) due to 21-hydrolase deficiency(21OHD) is most common hereditary cause of pediatric PAI with autodominal recessive inheritance.Objective: To present a Chinese boy with PAI with the pathogenic mutation of NROB1 and Double mutants in cis of CYP21A2 gen...

Objective: To summarize the metabolic status in children with classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia(CAH) due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency (21OHD).Methods: Children with classic 21OHD from Pediatric Endocrinology Clinics at the First affiliated hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University from January 1990 to February 2023 were included in the study. The prevalence of overweight/obesity, dyslipidemia [high triglyceride (TG), high ...

Background: Vitamin D deficiency is a prevalent health concern in children, potentially leading to various health issues. Early identification of children at risk of vitamin D deficiency is crucial for timely intervention and prevention of associated complications. This study aim ed to develop a deep learning algorithm to predict the risk of vitamin D deficiency in children aged 0-12 years using simple laboratory tests.Methods:</...

Background: 46, XY female disorders of sex development (46, XY female DSD) are congenital conditions caused by abnormal gonadal development or in androgen synthesis or action. Genes play an important role in DSD, but mechanisms are not clear. This study identified a Chinese family with the 46, XY female DSD caused by the CUL4B gene.Method: s: The proband medical history and pedigree were investigated. Variants analysis w...

Objective: We report a case of a 5y3m patient who complained of breast development with "45, X Turner syndrome (TS) and HCG-secreting gonadoblastoma (Gb)" with Y chromosome mosaicism. Aim to understand the diagnosis of TS and improve the diagnosis and treatment of HCG-secreting tumors.Methods: The data of clinical diagnosis and treatment of this patient were summarized, and the literatures were reviewed.<p ...

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of GH in improving FAH in ISS children in a multicenter study.Methods: A real-world observation was carried out. Children with ISS in seven hospitals in China were enrolled. The height gain standard deviation score and the height gain over the target height were evaluated.Results: There were 344 ISS patients (217 boys and 127 girls). The baseline a...

Background: Fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) is a negative regulator of skeletal development. Gain-of-function point mutations in FGFR3 are responsible for hypochondroplasia (HCH), one of the most common forms of dwarfism in humans. Autophagy is an evolutionarily conserved catabolic process, which is indispensable for cell homeostasis maintenance and stress responses. Dysregulation at the level of autophagic activity consequently disturbs the chondr...

Background: Despite many similarities between the structure, receptors and proliferative and growth promoting actions, the interrelationship between PRL and GH in clinical conditions has received little attention.Aim: To determine the PRL response to GH stimulation tests.Subjects: Prepubertal and early pubertal boys (n=581) and girls (n=502) with short stature.</p...

Objective: To retrospectively analyze the clinical data, laboratory examination, gene test results, diagnosis and treatment of a case of small gestational age, short stature and microcephaly in the department of Endocrinology, Genetics and Metabolism of Jiangxi Children's Hospital.Methods: The detailed clinical symptoms and family history of the children and their families were evaluated. 2ml peripheral blood of the...
