Background: Type 1 diabetes is characterised by destruction of islet β cell by autoimmune insulitis and islet cell apoptosis. This study analysed the microRNA 125b how to regulate pancreatic β-cells dysfunction, aiming to elucidate the association between miRNA125b and type 1 diabetes.Objective and hypotheses: Recent study indicate miRNA may have role in the development of type 1 diabetes, so this study analyse the miRNA expression profile in t...

Background: BMI has a negative impact on spontaneous and stimulated GH secretion in children, but the impact of BMI and free fatty acids (FFA) on peak stimulated GH values in Han children with short stature is unknown.Objective and hypotheses: To assess the effects of BMI and FFA on peak GH values in Han children with short stature.Method: This was a retrospective, cross-sectional study. We used arginine–clonidine test to anal...

Background: Adolescent growth spurt is the fast and intense increase in the rate of growth in height and weight that occurs during the adolescent stage of the human life cycle.Objective and hypotheses: To investigate the changes of hormone levels and body composition in pubertal children with growth retardation.Method: A non-randomised clinical controlled study was conducted in 208 cases (males 122, 10–14 years and females 86,...

Objectives: To describe safety and effectiveness of high (≥90-180 µg/kg) and low (<90-30 µg/kg) dose leuprorelin in treating central precocious puberty (CPP).Methods: In this observational, retrospective study, effectiveness was evaluated based on regression or no progression of Tanner staging as the primary outcomes. LH, FSH, estradiol or testosterone suppression, and decrease in bone age to chronolo...

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: Vitamin D-dependent rickets type 3 (VDDR3) is a rare autosomal dominant inheritance disease, which is caused by the gain-of-function mutation in CYP3A4 (c.902T>C p.Ile301Thr).Case Presentation: We report the case of a 32-month-old boy presented with discomfort of both knee-joints, poor mobility, and gait abnormality when running. Laboratory examinations revealed low concentrations of serum calcium, phospho...

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...

Birth chest circumference(CC) shows often, like birth gestational age(GA), tight direct relations to birth body weight(BW). However distinct connections of hypoxia/undernutrition with different body structures might be suspected based on brain-, heart- and adrenal-sparing following intrauterine growth restriction and, postnatally, on higher chest size for body mass observed at high altitude. Growth retarded fetuses gestated by hypoxic rats may present increments of blood serum...

Object: To analyze the clinical and genetic characteristics of primary hypoparathyroidism in children from two children's hospitals in China.Methods: This study includes 47 patients (26 males, 21 females), who were diagnosed with primary hypoparathyroidism in Children's Hospital of Zhengzhou University and Children's Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine from January 2015 to November 2022. We ...

Background: Mannose binding lectin (MBL) is an important innate immune molecule and is previously found to be related to artery damage in some diseases as SLE rheumatoid arthritis and severe atherosclerosis. However, its role in artery change is still contradictory according to different studies. We found the carotid intima–media thickness (CIMT) increased in obese children which indicated an early change of atherosclerosis.Objective and hypotheses:...
