Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of GH in improving FAH in ISS children in a multicenter study.Methods: A real-world observation was carried out. Children with ISS in seven hospitals in China were enrolled. The height gain standard deviation score and the height gain over the target height were evaluated.Results: There were 344 ISS patients (217 boys and 127 girls). The baseline a...

Background: 5α - reductase type 2 deficiency (5αRD) is an autosomal recessive hereditary disease which has an incidence of 11.2%–15.5% among population with 46, XY DSD (disorders of sex development).Objective: To study the growth pattern in Chinese pediatric patients with 5αRD.Subjects: Data were from 187 patients with 5αRD (age from 0–16 years old,with homozygous or compound heterozygous mutations in ...

Background: In humans, the GHN gene transcription is under the control of a Locus Control Region (LCR) enhancer, HSI, located 14.5 kb 5′ to the hGHN promoter. POU1F1, a pituitary-specific transcription factor, plays an essential role in the specification of the somatotroph, lactotroph and thyrotroph lineages and the activation of GHN, PRL and TSH gene transcription. All POU1F1 mutations so far reported have been linke...

Objective: To enhance the understanding of the clinical phenotypes of patients with SOX2 gene mutations.Method: A retrospectively analysis of the clinical manifestations and the laboratory results of a child diagnosed as idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism(IHH) by whole exome-gene sequencing and a review of relevant literatures.Results: A 12-year-old boy clinically manifested short stature, mental retardation, a histo...

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...

Somapacitan is currently the only long-acting GH approved by FDA, PDMA and EMA to treat GH deficiency (GHD) in both children and adults. Similar efficacy, safety, and tolerability in children with GHD was demonstrated for somapacitan (0.16 mg/kg/week) compared to daily GH (0.034 mg/kg/day) in the global phase 3 REAL4 study, which was conducted in 20 countries within Asia (excluding China), Europe, and North America. Efficacy and safety of somapacitan in Chinese children with G...

Influence of anthropometric indices at birth on obesity characteristics in school-age children Latyshev D. Yu., Lobanov Yu. F.? Latyshev O. Yu. *, Karkova T.A. Altai State Medical University, Barnaul * Russian Medical Academy of Postgraduate Education. Moscow Keywords: obesity, children, body length, body mass index Objective: To study the relationship between anthropometric data at birth and the course of obesity in school-age children. Materials and metho...

Background: Neonatal hypoglycaemia is an emergency condition requiring immediate treatment to prevent serious outcomes. Today blood glucose meter is a current methods for detecting blood glucose in health centre of our country.Objective and hypotheses: To determine the accuracy of blood glucose meter in comparison to laboratory method in detecting neonatal hypoglycaemia.Method: This cross-sectional study was conducted in the neonat...

Introduction: Iodide transport in the thyroid is crucial for thyroid hormone synthesis. A homozygous loss-of-function mutation in the SLC26A4gene coding an iodide transporter located at the apical side in the thyroid follicular cells causes Pendred syndrome accompanied with goitrous congenital hypothyroidism (CH) and sensorineural deafness. However, about half of patients with Pendred syndrome demonstrate normal thyroid function. This indicates anothe...

Background: Studying patients with rare Mendelian diabetes has highlighted molecular mechanisms regulating β-cell pathophysiology. Previous, experimental studies have shown that Class IIa histone deacetylases (HDAC4, 5, 7, and 9) modulate mammalian pancreatic endocrine cell differentiation, function and finally glucose homeostasis.Methods: We performed exome sequencing in one adolescent boy with non-autoimmune di...
