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: Sitosterolemia (STSL) is an extremely rare genetic disease. Xanthomas as the first symptom is frequently misinterpreted as familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) in children. Inappropriate treatment may deteriorate the condition.Objectives: The goal of this study was to summarize the clinical characteristics of children with STSL who had xanthomas as their first symptom and to provide clues for early clinical dia...

Background and Objectives: In the patients with Turner syndrome (TS), the risk of hypertension is higher in childhood and adulthood. The aim of the study was to retrospectively analyze 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) in children and adolescents with TS and its related factors.Materials and Methods: A retrospective study was conducted involving TS patients admitted to our pediatric endocrine specialist...

Object: To raise the awareness of clinical manifestations about vasculitis-related moyamoya syndrome by summarizing the clinical characteristics of a girl with central precocious puberty, vasculitis-related moyamoya syndrome and reviewing the literature. Method: We carried on the review analysis to the patient with central precocious puberty, vasculitis-related moyamoya syndrome and reviewed the literature. Result: The bilateral breast development was the prim...

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: 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 ...

Background: Precocious puberty is common in boys occasionally in girls with beta human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG)-secreting intracranial tumors, and is reported to be peripheral precocious puberty exclusively.Object: To described a girl with intracranial β-hCG-secreting germ cell tumor（GCT） who presented with central precocious puberty（CPP）.Method:<...

Background: In developing countries, due to the lack of medical resources, it is necessary to do the preliminary diagnosis of Bartter syndrome and Gitelman syndrome according to the existing clinical data rather than the genetic testing. Is clinical diagnosis consistent with the gene diagnosis?Objective and hypotheses: To summarise the children’s clinical features, furosemide/hydrochlorothiazide loading test and genotype of Bartter syndrome and Gite...

Background: Recently, progranulin (PGRN) was a novel adipokine which is a key adipokine insulin resistance in adipose tissue. While GH was closely related to glucose metabolism and insulin resistance.Objective and hypotheses: We suspected that there maybe some positive relationship between GH and PGRN. Our study was to detect expression and regulation of PGRN in mouse 3T3-L1 cells follow the treatment with GH.Method: The mRNA was m...

Background: Percutaneous administration of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) gel has been successful used in promoting phallic growth in children with micropenis. We investigated whether percutaneous administration of DHT gel is similarly effective in Chinese children with microphallus due to various etiologies.Objective and hypotheses: To study the pharmacokinetics and effect of percutaneous administration DHT gel in the Chinese microphallus patients.<p cla...
