Background: Fulminant type 1 diabetes (FT1D) is presented as a severe diabetes subtype among adults, however, we have no idea whether it’s worth being taken seriously among children and adolescents.Objective and hypotheses: We aim to clarify the clinical significance of the subtype. It’s supposed that we may needn’t pay special attention to the subtype.Method: Case–control study design. Data from hospitalized al...

Background: Thiamine-responsive megaloblastic anemia syndrome(TRMA) is a rare disease characterized by diabetes mellitus, megaloblastic anemia and sensorineural hearing loss. The disease can be accompanied by attack of stroke, which are rarely reported. To analyze the clinical characteristics of a case of thiamine-responsive megaloblastic anemia with attack of stroke in our hospital and review the related literature of this syndrome in order to improve the dia...

Objective: The aim of this study was to detect potential gene mutation of Methylmalonic acidemia (MAA) in a Chinese patient.Methods: Patient with clinical diagnosis and parents were analyzed in this study. The analysis included medical histories, clinical analysis, and genetic tests. A NGS panel include MUT,MMAA,MMAB,MMADHC and MCEE genes was identify the pathogenic mutation responsible for the MAA and verified by Sanger.Results: A...

Background: Hypoglycemia triggers the secretion of counter-regulatory hormones such as cortisol, GH, and glucagon, all of which are protective mechanisms to restore euglycemia. It has been suggested that CHI patients have abnormal glucagon secretion during hypoglycemia, but the data is limited.Objective and hypotheses: To investigate the secretion of counter-regulatory hormones including glucagon during hypoglycemia. It’s supposed that these hormone...

Objective: Evaluation the clinical efficacy of autologous hematopoietie stem cell transplantation and traditional insulin therapy.Methods: This is a case–control study. The subject investigated were diagnosed primary childhood type 1 diabetes in Beijing Children’s Hospital Endocrinology Centre, and there are 14 cases did the immune intervention combined with autologous hematopoietie stem cell transplantation in other hospital during the first 3...

Background: The triglyceride glucose (TyG) index is significantly associated with the presence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and is a reliable insulin resistance (IR) surrogate marker. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) has been commonly used to reflect liver inflammation and liver damage in patients with chronic liver diseases, including NAFLD. Transient elastography (TE) uses pulsed echo ultrasound to measure the hardness of the liver, showing exce...

Introduction: C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP, NPPC gene) and its receptor, natriuretic peptide receptor B (NPR-B, NPR2 gene), is critical for endochondral ossification in growth plate. Biallelic NPR2 mutations are known as acromesomelic dysplasia, type Maroteaux which is characterized by severe short stature. A monoallelic NPR2 mutation has been suggested to mildly impair long bone growth.Obje...

Purpose: Central precocious puberty (CPP) is less common in boys than girls; very little data is reported on long-term effects of gonadotropin-releasing hormone analog (GnRHa) treatment in boys with CPP. The aim of the study was to evaluate the impact of treatment with GnRHa on adult height (AH) and body mass index (BMI) in boys with idiopathic CPP.Subjects and Methods: In 18 boys with confirmed diagnosis of idiopathic C...

Turner syndrome is the most common chromosomal disorder in girls. They present classically short stature and delayed puberty. Turner girls with 45,X karyotype show normal female external genitalia. But Turner patients containing 45,X/46,XY mosaicism, or Sex-determining Region Y(SRY) gene may have mixed gonadal dysgenesis with various external sexual differentiation or pure gonadal dysgenesis. Existence of Y chromosome particles in Turner syndrome implies that they have risk of...

Context: Abnormal growth and short stature are observed in patients with mitochondrial disease but it is unclear whether there is a relationship between growth, stature and muscle phenotype.Objectives: To examine growth and final height in patients with genetically confirmed mitochondrial disease, to describe growth patterns in the principle underlying genetic subgroups and to establish whether stature is related to disease severity.<p class="abstext...
