Objective: To assess the serum levels of IL-6, TNF-a and Omentin-1 in girls with Turner Syndrome (TS) and to analyze their association with FPG, FINS, TC, TG, HDL-c, LDL-c, and BMISDS.Methods: In total of 33 TS girls aged (12.8±3.9) yr and 33 age-matched normal girls aged (12.6±3.7) yr were recruited in the study. Height (Ht) and Weight (Wt) were measured; FPG, FINS, TC, TG, HDL-c, LDL-c, IGF-1 and E2 were also measured; BMI and BMISDS were cal...

Background: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a common chronic liver disease in both children and adults; however, the exact pathogenesis of NAFLD remains obscure. Accumulating evidence supports the effects of miRNA in the lipid metabolism and the regulation of insulin resistance, providing a potential linkage between the miRNA and NAFLD.Objective and Hypotheses: The aims of this study were to explore microRNA (miRNA) expression profiles in NA...

Background: Ovarian adrenal rest tumors (OART) is a rare complication of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) and is not very well characterized yet.Objective and hypotheses: We report four cases of OART in Chinese girls with CAH due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency (21 OHD).Method: We describe the clinical, imaging, and surgical findings of the patients.Results: The four cases of CAH with OART included three sal...

Background: Secondary diabetes in children, often rising from the treatment of the primary disease. However, not enough attention has been paid. We analyze the cases of secondary diabetes in children identified from 2002 to 2010 in our hospital for the frequency and clinical features, so as to gain a better understanding of the disease.Objective and hypotheses: To investigate the prevalence and association factors of secondary diabetes in Chinese hospita...

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...

Objective: We assessed in a retrospective unicenter study the effect on menstrual regularity of early menarche and treatment with GnRH analogs (GnRHa) in central precocious puberty (CPP) or early and fast puberty (EFP) girls.Methods: Six hundred and ten healthy girls were interviewed and their menarche age and menstrual interval were recorded. One hundred and sixty-nine CPP or EFP girls who were treated with GnRHa were fellowed up, and their menarche age...

Background: GH deficiency (GHD) occurs in one in 4000–one in 10 000 children, but can also be diagnosed in adults.1 GHD therapy typically requires injections over a period of years.2 Adherence to long-term GHT presents a challenge.Objective and hypotheses: This study describes the rates of adherence to GHT among patients with GHD.Method: Members who were continuously enrolled 6 months pre- and 12 months p...

Objective: We assessed in a retrospective unicenter study the effect on BMI of treatment with GnRH analogs (GnRHa) in central precocious puberty (CPP) or early and fast puberty (EFP) girls.Methods: The BMI of 318 girls (227 CPP and 91 EFP) who treated with GnRHa alone were analyzed. Among them 89 were followed up to their final adult hight (FAH).Results: Before GnRHa treatment started, the girls with CPP and EFP had a mean BMI SDS ...

Objective and hypotheses: To evaluate the long-term efficacy of triptorelin 3.75 mg subcutaneously injection every 6 weeks on final height in girls with ICPP.Method: Forty females with ICPP received triptorelin 3.75 mg every 6 weeks subcutaneously injection and reached FAH were collected. These patients were divided into two groups. Group A: GnRHa alone, n=17; group B: triptorelin+rhGH, n=23. During the treatment, height, weight, annual...

Background: Hypophosphatemic rickets (HR) is most commonly X-linked or autosomal dominant, but autosomal recessive (AR) forms have been described. ARHR1 (DMP1) and ARHR2 (ENPP1) share identical biochemical characteristics of excessive renal phosphate wasting due to increased circulating levels of the phosphatonin FGF23 and low serum levels of 1,25(OH)2D. By contrast, in hereditary hypophosphatemic rickets with hypercalciuria (HHRH) phosphaturia is ...
