Background: Congenital hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (CHH) is a rare disorder caused by the deficient production, secretion or action of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), which is the master hormone regulating the reproductive axis. CHH can be divided into Kallmann syndrome (KS) with dysosmia and normosmic Congenital hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (nCHH) according to the presence or absence of an olfactory disorder.Methods:</...

Objective: The AVPR2 gene mutation usually cause nephrogenic diabetes insipidus. We report a patient who carried an active gene mutation of AVPR2 presenting persistent hyponatremia, which resembled to the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH)Method: We describe a patient whose clinical and laboratory evaluation were consistent with hyponatremia, which hardly to be corrected to normal. After the...

Background: The acid-labile subunit (ALS) is the crucial third player in the tertiary complex for its function of prolonging the half-life of the IGF1-IGFBP3 binary complexes. IGF1 and IGFBP3 are routinely determined during the diagnostic work-up for growth hormone deficiency (GHD). The aim of the study is to evaluate the relevance of serum ALS as an additional biomarker, alone or in combination with IGF1 and IGFBP3, in the diagnosis of GHD.<p class="abste...

Aims: To evaluate the performance of a factory-calibrated flash glucose monitoring system in children with diabetes compared to venous blood glucose (BG).Methods: A total of 13 hospitalized participants newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, aged 1~14 years old, were involved in the study. Sensor glucose measurements on days 2, 3, 6, 7, 12 and 13 of wear were compared with venous BG. During these days, the venous BG ...

Objective: To explore the clinical features and the genetic cause of a multiple malformation patient with short stature.Methods: The clinical data was collected in Beijing Children’s Hospital in November 2017. The disease-causing variant was identified using exome sequencing and confirmed with Sanger sequencing. Related literature was searched from Wanfang and Pubmed databases using the key word of ‘PORCN gene’ to identify the clinical fea...

Backgrounds: The treatment of diazoxide-unresponsive congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI) is a big challenge in clinical practice. Octreotide is an off-lable medicine for CHI but widely used nowadays. However, the efficacy and adverse effects have been reported varied in centers.Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the subcutaneous octreotide injection for diazoxide-unresponsive CHI in China.Subjects and methods: Diazoxide...

Introduction: Although the safety and effectiveness of recombinant human growth hormone therapy (rhGH) has been reported for several years, the level of consensus on the outcomes that should be reported is unclear. The aim of this systematic review is to study the frequency of reporting of these outcomes in children with GH deficiency (GHD).Methods: A systematic review was performed in Medline, Embase, Cochrane Central R...
