Objective: To analyze the correlation between glucose metabolism disorder and bone turnover markers in obese adolescents.Methods: From June 2022 to June 2023, 50 obese adolescents in West China Second Hospital of Sichuan University were taken as the research group, and 50 adolescents with normal weight who received health examination at the same time were taken as the control group. The general data, glucose metabolism i...

Objective: Serum Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH) and Inhibin-B (INHB) levels were assessed in patients with Turner Syndrome (TS) of different karyotypes, and ovarian reserve function was evaluated by AMH and INHB in patients with TS.Methods: From January 2021 to January 2024, 52 patients diagnosed with TS aged 4-17 years were diagnosed in the Department of Endocrinology, Genetics and Metabolism of Jiangxi Provincial Childre...

Background: Turner syndrome (TS) is caused by complete or partial of the second sex chromosome and characterized bygrowth failure, primary ovarian failure, the constellation of the lymphedema sequence, characteristic facial features, left-sided cardiac anomalies, renal anomaly, and skeletal anomalies. Among all of the associated traits, cardiovascular abnormalities are common in TS and an important cause of early mortality. Hence, our aim is to investigate the...

Background: Simple obese is a worldwide public health problem. Recent studies suggested a possible relationship between obese and vitamin D deficiency.Objective and hypotheses: To discuss the relationship between 25-Hdroxyvitamin D with glucose and lipid metabolism of simple obese in Chinese children.Method: 65 children with obeses (35 mild-to-moderate, 50 severe) and sixty-two children with normal weight were enrolled in this tria...

Objectives: Estrogen is a key hormone to promote epiphyseal closure. So the inhibition of estrogen production can prolong the growth time of adolescent children. Therefore, aromatase inhibitors can be applied to adolescent children who has older bone age. In addition to reduction of the estrogen levels, it can promote linear growth. This study analyzed the safety and efficacy of letrozole in children for clinical reference.Method...

Purpose: This study aimed to profile children diagnosed with hypercalcemia of different etiologies at a single center.Method: We retrospectively reviewed 13 children diagnosed with hypercalcemia of different etiologies.Results: We describe 13 pediatric cases, aged 4 months to 12 years old (median age: 8 months), diagnosed from 2018 to 2021. Six males and seven females were included...

Background: Early timing of puberty is associated with worse cardiometabolic health in adulthood. Furthermore, birth weight (BW) is recognized to have implications for pubertal development and cardiometabolic risk factors. The study aimed to examine the independent association between birth size, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS) and cardiometabolic risk factors in idiopathic central precocious puberty (ICPP) girls.Methods:<...

Background: It remains unclear whether specimen pH can influence urinary LH and FSH assayed by immunochemiluminometric assays (ICMA).Objective and hypotheses: To investigate the effect of specimen pH on urinary LH and FSH assayed by ICMA.Method: The first morning-voided urine were collected and divided into 11 samples (each 100 ml). The urine pH was determined with a pH meter. Hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide were added to al...

Background: It remains unclear whether specimen repeated freeze-thaw cycles can influence urinary lutenising hormone (LH) and follicular stimulating hormone (FSH) assayed by immunochemiluminometric assays (ICMA).Objective and hypotheses: To investigate the effect of specimen repeated freeze-thaw cycles on urinary LH and FSH determined by ICMA.Method: The first morning-voided urine was collected and divided two parts. One part was s...

Ferritin is a widely used iron storage indicator. At the same time, it is also viewed as an indicator of inflammation. Chronic low-grade inflammation in obese individual, especially in the one with metabolic disorders, related to comorbidities and poor prognosis. Both hyperglycemia and iron overload can induce inflammation and result in vascular endothelial dysfunction. To study the role of ferritin in obese children and its impact on artery and liver, the present study invest...
