Objective and hypotheses: To compare the different efficacies between recombinant human GH (rhGH) alone and rhGH combined with low does stanozolol on improving growth of the girls with Turner syndrome (TS).Method: TS girls were divided into two groups. Group 1 (15 cases) received rhGH therapy, aged (13.09±2.70) years, bone age (11.00±1.01) years, height was (131.46±8.22) cm. Group 2 (22 cases) received low does stanozolol combined with rhG...

Background: X-linked Adrenal Hypoplasia Congenita (AHC) is a very rare hereditary cause of pediatric primary adrenal insufficiency (PAI). Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) due to 21-hydrolase deficiency(21OHD) is most common hereditary cause of pediatric PAI with autodominal recessive inheritance.Objective: To present a Chinese boy with PAI with the pathogenic mutation of NROB1 and Double mutants in cis of CYP21A2 gen...

Background: Mandibular hypoplasia, deafness, progeroid features, and lipodystrophy (MDPL) syndrome is a genetic disorder which was first recognized in 2010. MDPL syndrome is comprised of mandibular hypoplasia, deafness, progeroid features, lipodystrophy, hypogonadism and metabolic disorders. It is caused by an autosomal dominant mutation in the polymerase delta 1 (POLD1) gene, with <30 genetically confirmed cases to date.Cas...

Keywords: Central precocious puberty; Luteinizing hormone; Precocious puberty Gonadotropin-releasing hormone agnosit testBackground: 2019 International consensus on central precocious puberty (CPP) proposed that random serum luteinizing hormone (LH) ≥0.83IU/L and < 0.2IU/L has important reference value for the establishment or exclusion of CPP, but there is no corresponding diagnostic criteria in China. This study ...

Objectives: Somatrogon is a long-acting recombinant human growth hormone (GH) approved in the EU and other countries for once-weekly treatment of pediatric patients with GH deficiency (GHD). In this analysis, height outcomes of somatrogon-treated patients in a phase 3 trial (CP-4-006) were compared with historical data from matched somatropin-treated patients enrolled in KIGS.Methods: In trial CP-4-006, patients were ran...

Background: Familial hCG syndrome is a rare and benign cause of elevated serum beta human chorionic gonadotropin (β- hCG), moreover, elevated β-hCG in cerebrospinal fluid(CSF) has never been reported in familial hCG syndrome.Object: To report the two Chinese families of familial hCG syndrome with elevated β-hCG concurrently in blood/CSF.Method: We described the clini...

Objective: To summarize the metabolic status in children with classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia(CAH) due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency (21OHD).Methods: Children with classic 21OHD from Pediatric Endocrinology Clinics at the First affiliated hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University from January 1990 to February 2023 were included in the study. The prevalence of overweight/obesity, dyslipidemia [high triglyceride (TG), high ...

Background: The incidence of 11β-hydroxylase deficiency is quite low in China, less is reported about the gene mutation in Chinese population.Objective and hypotheses: To analyze the clinical features and CYP11B1 gene mutations of a family with 11β-hydroxylase deficiency (11β-OHD) and literature review were also included.Method: Physical examination and laboratory tests were done on a 4 years old girl and gene mutati...

Background: IDF-2007 MS definition (MS-IDF2007) for children and adolescents has been challenged frequently in clinical practice and should be improved further. Therefore, it becomes imminent to explore an accessible and effective tool to screen obese children with the metabolic syndrome components.Objective and hypotheses: To investigate the optimal cut-off values and compare the accuracy for the triglycerides and HDL cholesterol ratio and homeostasis m...

Background: The hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis, and cortisol in particular, has been reported to be involved in obesity-associated metabolic disturbances in adults and in specific populations of adolescents.Objective and hypotheses: To investigate the associations between serum ACTH and cortisol levels and cardiovascular risk factors in obese children and adolescents.Method: Of 1119 obese children and adolescen...
