Objective: To establish INS-1 cell iron overload model, and study the effect on iron overload, proliferation, insulin secretion, mitochondria defect and oxidative stress change.Methods: INS-1 cells were cultured with different concentrations (0 as control and 5, 10, 20, 40, 80,160,320µmol/L respectively) of ferric ammonium citrate (FAC). Labile iron pool (LIP) were calculated by detecting calcein-AM fluorescence ...

Background: Defects of the insulin receptor gene (INSR) can cause genetic syndromes associated with a wide diverse range of congenital insulin resistance from milder insulin-resistant diabetes mellitus (Type A insulin resistance syndrome, TAIRS) to leprechaunism (Donahue syndrome). Clinical features in TAIRS vary due to the severity of damage in INSR, precise diagnosis is challenging.Materials and Methods</stron...

Objective: To summarize the diagnosis and treatment of a rare 46XY DSD cause: Denys-Drash syndrome.Methods: To summarize the clinical manifestations, laboratory tests, diagnosis and treatment of a rare 46XY DSD cause presenting with hemolytic uremic syndrome: Denys-Drash syndrome (WT1 mutation).Results: Female, 2 years and 4 months, were admitted to the hospital at 2018-11-7 becaus...

Objective: To explore the value of continuous hemodiafiltration in rescuing children with severe diabetic ketoacidosis.Method: Two children with severe diabetic ketoacidosis were studied in regard to clinical manifestation, laboratory examination and treatment and of the relevant literature was reviewed.Result: Case 1 was a girl of 13 years 5 months old, who was diagnosed as ‘Type 1 diabetes mellitus, Diabetic ketoacidosis and...

Objective: To investigate the clinical features and genetic characteristics of HRAS-associated Costello Syndrome.Method: Characteristics of clinical data and gene mutation of two cases Costello Syndrome in XX hospital were retrospectively analyzed. The related literature was searched by using search terms ‘HRAS’ or ‘Costello Syndrome’.Result: Both patients were presented with mental retardation, growth retardati...

Background: The incidence of congnenital hypothyroidism (CH) differs significantly among different ethnicity and regions, and early differentiation of transient CH is important to avoid unnecessary prolonged treatment with L-T4, it is also helpful for predicting prognosis and alleviating families’ psychological burden.Objective and hypotheses: To investigate the incidence of CH based on the newborn screening program in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Regi...

Objective: To assess the effects and safety of recombinant human GH (rhGH) in GH deficient (GHD) children with Rathke cyst.Methods: The clinical data of 12 GHD children aged from 5–12 years old, whose radiologic diagnosis showed Rathke cyst during Jan 2010–Dec 2012 in our hospital, were analyzed retrospectively. rhGH was given subcutaneously to each enrolled child with a night dose of 0.1 IU/kg six to seven times a week for 12–30 months. T...

Background: Aromatase inhibitors (AIS) can block the conversion of androgens to estrogens, thus can be used to delay bone maturation in males, however, the effect on improvement of final adult height (FAH) is still controversial.Objective and hypotheses: A prospective study was performed to evaluate the effect of letrozole used on the FAH in males with idiopathic short stature (ISS).Method: 55 boys with ISS and had entered puberty ...

Objective: To screen and identify serum differentially expressed proteins in girls with rapidly progressing central precocious puberty and healthy girls by proteomics. Methods: 15 idiopathic central precocious puberty girls and 15 healthy children were admitted to the Children’s Hospital of Suzhou University from August 2017 to October 2018.After mixing in the group, the high-abundance protein was removed and quantified ...

Objective: The onset of obesity complicated with metabolic syndrome in children and adolescents is hidden, the mechanism is unknown, and early warning indicators are lacking clinically. This study conducted multi-omics research on children and adolescents with simple obesity and obesity complicated with metabolic syndrome to provide early clinical diagnosis and drug treatment targets for its occurrence and development mechanism.M...
