Background: Oestrogen has positive effect to glucose and lipid metabolism. On the contrary, leptin has negative effect to metabolism. During GnRHa treatment, the secretion of oestrogen was suppressed and its effect will fade away.Objective and hypotheses: To observe the changes of body fat and metabolic parameters of central precocious puberty (CPP) or early and fast puberty (EFP) girls who treated with Gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogues (GnRHa).</...

Background: A patient with both Prader-Willi syndrome and mosaic Turner syndrome is extremely rare. We performed fMRI and euglycaemic-hyperinsulinaemic clamp test for her.Case presentation: A 17-yr-old girl was diagnosed as Prader-Willi syndrome by her clinical investigations including poor feeding in infancy, hyperphagia, developmental delay, mental disorders, behavior problems, thin upper lip, almond-shaped eyes, acromicria and genital hypoplasia. Mate...

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: The aim of this study was to analyze the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown on behaviors and subsequent changes in BMI in children from southern Poland.Methods: The study included 206 participants (104 females and 102 males) with a complete analysis of 177 (96 females and 81 males) with a mean age of 12.8 ± 2.6 years admitted to three pediatric endocrinology clinics (Rzeszów, Kraków, and ...

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...

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 ...

Introduction: Delayed puberty is defined as the absence of the development of sexual characteristics beyond the age of 14 for boys and 13 for girls. To better understand this pathology, we conducted a retrospective study over a period of 7 years; between 2013 and 2020, involving 11 patients with a delayed puberty, followed by a pediatric endocrinology consultation at the children’s hospital Ibn Sina in Rabat.Patients:</stro...
