Aims: To evaluate the performance of a factory-calibrated flash glucose monitoring system in children with diabetes compared to venous blood glucose (BG).Methods: A total of 13 hospitalized participants newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, aged 1~14 years old, were involved in the study. Sensor glucose measurements on days 2, 3, 6, 7, 12 and 13 of wear were compared with venous BG. During these days, the venous BG ...

Multiple epiphyseal dysplasia (MED) is a chondrodysplasia characterised by delayed epiphyseal endochondral ossification, resulting in disproportionate short stature and early onset osteoarthritis. MED can be caused by heterozygous mutations in COMP, MATN3, COL9A1, COL9A2 and COL9A3, or bi-allelic mutations in SLC26A2. Human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) are reprogrammed somatic cells which can differentiate to form all body tissues and have excellent potential for ti...

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...

Background: Maturity-onset diabetes of the young, type 2 (MODY2), caused by mutations in the glucokinase (GCK) gene is rare in a Chinese population.Objective and hypotheses: We report three Chinese families with MODY2 and sequenced the GCK gene to find novo mutation.Method: Three unrelated Chinese families with MODY2 and pedigrees were investigated. In Family 1, the proband was a 7-year-old girl with impaired fasting glucose (IFG) ...

Background: The incidence rate of maturity onset diabetes of the young (MODY) and the proportion of different types of MODY will be different in different countries and races. GCK, HNF1A, and HNF4A are the three most common types of MODY, but the occurrence of other rare MODY subtypes in Chinese children is unknown. Therefore, studying the case group of MODY in Chinese children can help deepen understanding of MODY, early identification, and precise treatment....

Background: Bardet Biedl syndrome(BBS) is a type of non-motile ciliopathy primarily characterized by retinal dystrophy, obesity, polydactyly, cognitive impairment, urogenital anomalies and renal abnormalities. To date, 26 genes have been reported to be associated with BBS: BBS1-BBS21, IFT74, SCLT1, SCAPER and NPHP1. BBS is genetically heterogeneous with significant clinical overlap with other ciliopathies, further c...

Background: CPP is commonly treated with triptorelin, a gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) analogue. It is available as 1-month and 3-month prolonged-release (PR) formulations, but only the former is approved for CPP in China. Overseas studies have proved the efficacy and safety of triptorelin 3-month PR formulation; this study evaluated efficacy and safety in Chinese children with CPP.Methods: In this 12-month, open-...

Objective: To summarize the prevalence of compromised linear growth in 21OHD and its final adult height (FAH).Methods: Clinical data of children with CAH 21OHD from pediatric endocrinology clinics at the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University from January 1990 to February 2023 were included. The prevalence and types of compromised linear growth in 21OHD and related factors were discussed. FAH and its related...

Congenital hyperinsulinism (HI) is the most common cause of persistent hypoglycemia in neonates, infants, and children, and is caused by genetic mutations in pancreatic beta-cells. Current therapies are burdensome, have limited efficacy, and are associated with significant morbidity. CRN04777 is a potent, orally-bioavailable, selective SST5 agonist that suppresses insulin secretion in the terminal steps of the insulin secretion pathway and could be useful for patients with con...

Objective: We report a case of a 5y3m patient who complained of breast development with "45, X Turner syndrome (TS) and HCG-secreting gonadoblastoma (Gb)" with Y chromosome mosaicism. Aim to understand the diagnosis of TS and improve the diagnosis and treatment of HCG-secreting tumors.Methods: The data of clinical diagnosis and treatment of this patient were summarized, and the literatures were reviewed.<p ...
