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...

Introduction: To investigate the protective effects of combined intervention with adenovirus vector mediated interleukin 10 (IL-10) and insulin-like growth factor 1 (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 intraperitoneally ...

DAX-1 is Dosage-sensitive sex reversal - Adrenal hypoplasia congenita critical region on the X chromosome 1, caused by mutation of NR0B1. It commonly presents X-Linked adrenal hypoplasia congenital, hypogonadotropic hypogonadism and infertility. However, we observed two patients whose testosterone elevated in their early infancy. Both of them are males with uneventful gestation and birth, and have a primary symptom as jaundice. For patient 1, poor feeding and pigment genital a...
