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...

Objective: To know more about the etiology and mechanism of antibody-negative diabetes, screening MODY pathogenicity genes and deepening understanding of islet autoantibody-negative diabetes, so as to individualized precision treatment.Methods: A total of 31 subjects with diabetes who had negative islet autoantibodies and C-peptide ≥0.3 ng/ml were collected. Another group was the type 1 diabetes control group, After informed consent obtained patien...

Objective: To explore the value of continuous hemodiafiltration in rescuing children with severe diabetic ketoacidosis.Method: Two children with severe diabetic ketoacidosis were studied in regard to clinical manifestation, laboratory examination and treatment and of the relevant literature was reviewed.Result: Case 1 was a girl of 13 years 5 months old, who was diagnosed as ‘Type 1 diabetes mellitus, Diabetic ketoacidosis and...

This study aim ed to screen pediatric patients with clinically diagnosed pseudohypoparathyroidism (PHP), pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism (PPHP), and progressive osseous heteroplasia (POH) for genetic and epigenetic defects in GNAS and to assess their clinical features. A total 87 patients from 8 medical centers in China were included in this study, and 70 patients underwent analysis of GNAS by next-generation sequencing and methylation-specific multiple ligati...

Objective: Type E brachydactyly (BDE) is characterized by shortening of the metacarpal/metatarsal bones, with the phalanges also potentially affected. This study analyzes the clinical features and genotype-phenotype correlations of BDE in children.Methods: This study selected 135 patients with BDE who visited the Children's Hospital affiliated with Soochow University from June 2021 to December 2023 and completed a b...

Objective: Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is a monogenic metabolic bone disease characterized by skeletal and dental mineralization disorders and paradoxically low serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity. The pathogenic gene for HPP is ALPL, which encodes tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (TNSALP). The purpose of this study is to determine the prevalence of HPP among the population in Suzhou and explore the genotypic spectrum of ALPL gene 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...

The action of Thyroid hormone (T3) is mediated by the binding to nuclear receptors (TRa1, TRα1/2), which are ligand dependent transcription factors, encoded by the THRA and THRB genes. THRA germline mutations cause a rare genetic disease called resistance to thyroid hormone α (RTHα) first reported in 2012 . Only 20 missense and frameshift mutations have been reported to date, From this small group of patients, and analysis of animal models, it emerges that the d...

Objective: To screen and identify serum differentially expressed proteins in girls with rapidly progressing central precocious puberty and healthy girls by proteomics. Methods: 15 idiopathic central precocious puberty girls and 15 healthy children were admitted to the Children’s Hospital of Suzhou University from August 2017 to October 2018.After mixing in the group, the high-abundance protein was removed and quantified ...
