This study aims to investigate the efficacy and safety of recombinant human GH (rhGH) in the treatment of idiopathic short stature (ISS).Methods: The data of 200 ISS children, who were treated with rhGH from January 2008 to December 2016, were collected and retrospectively analyzed. The data of height, bone age, blood glucose, insulin, thyroid function and IGF-1 were collected, and annual growth rate (AGR), height standard deviation score (HtSDS) and rel...

Background: The efficacy and safety of rhGH treatment on ISS and GHD were not reported in Chinese children. In this study, we aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of rhGH therapy in ISS and GHD.Methods: The clinical data in children with ISS and GHD who were treated with rhGH for more than one year from 2005 to 2016 were retrospectively analyzed. Growth velocity (GV), HtSDS, IGF1 SDS, BMI and the incidence of fasting hyperglycemia, fasting hyperinsul...

Background and Aims: A novel bioactive peptide, mitochondrial-derived peptide (MOTS-c), has recently attracted interests as a potential prevention or therapeutic option for obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus in mice. MOTS-c profiles have not yet been reported in type 1 diabetes (T1DM). We aimed to determine circulating MOTS-c levels in T1DM and explore the association between MOTS-c levels and various metabolic parameters.Metho...

Background: Several studies have shown that born small for gestational age (SGA) children have earlier precocious puberty, progress faster, and are less likely to gain target height in adults than children born appropriate for gestational age (AGA). Moreover, SGA children are more prone to metabolic disorders - obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease.Objective: To compare the physical development status, serum lipid...

Background and aims: A novel bioactive peptide, mitochondrial-derived peptide (MOTS-c), has recently attracted attention as a potential prevention or therapeutic option for obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). MOTS-c profiles have not yet been reported in human obesity and T2DM. We aimed to determine circulating MOTS-c levels in obesity and explore the association between MOTS-c levels and various metabolic parameters. Methods: In this case-control study, 40 obese chil...

Objective and hypotheses: To evaluate the long-term efficacy of triptorelin 3.75 mg subcutaneously injection every 6 weeks on final height in girls with ICPP.Method: Forty females with ICPP received triptorelin 3.75 mg every 6 weeks subcutaneously injection and reached FAH were collected. These patients were divided into two groups. Group A: GnRHa alone, n=17; group B: triptorelin+rhGH, n=23. During the treatment, height, weight, annual...
