Objective: To analyze the clinical characteristics and treatment of non-germinomatous germ cell tumor (NGGCT) in one girl with the initial onset of homosexual peripheral precocious puberty (PPP) and central diabetes insipidus (CDI) and eventually progressed into central precocious puberty (CPP).Methods: The clinical data of a girl who was diagnosed as NGGCT with the onset of PPP and CDI and eventually progressed into CPP...

Objective: We sought to evaluate the role of long-term HRT on the lipid profile and glucose metabolism in girls with TS.Design: A pre-test/post-test observational study.Seting: Pediatric TS clinic in The First Affiated Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University.Patients: 56 girls with TS had accurate maintenance HRT data....

An 11-year-old boy came to our hospital on 2019-1-23 because of "discovered hypercalcemia for 4 months."Past History: The child has a history of lupus nephritis for 2 years, and currently oral prednisone 12.5mg qd, mycophenolic acid 0.25g q12h, tacrolimus 1mg q12h for treatment. The lupus activity index was reviewed once a month due to lupus nephritis. At present, SLEDAI (lupus activity score) is 2 points, and the condition is we...

Objective: The study was to detect the proper regimen of estrogen in HRT in girls with TS.Method: We conducted a retrospective, longitudinal study with 76 girls with TS from The First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University over the past two decades.Results: The investigation time was 3.00 (2.00, 4.66) yrs. The uterine volume grew significantly till B4 stage when compared wit...

Turner syndrome is associated with insulin resistance, increased incidence of type II diabetes, and hypertension, all of which are cardiovascular risk factors. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the lipid profile of Chinese girls with untreated Turner syndrome, (aged 2 to 15 years; 50.9% 45,XO) and age-matched, normal girls. A total of 108 girls with Turner syndrome and 99 normal girls had lipid profile measurements, including cholesterol, triglycerides,high-density lip...

Background: The hypothalamus-pituitary-gonad (HPG) axis is crutial to the development and function of reproductive system. Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) has been the standard test for the assessment of activation of HPG axis. Because GnRH is no longer available, GnRH analogues (GnRHa) are now used. In previous studies, GnRHa stimulation tests have been the mainstay for establishing the diagnosis of precocious puberty in female and distinguishing constitutional delay of...

Background: Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency (21-OHD) is reported inadequate growth and impairment of the final height (FH).Objective: We present the results of near FH in 55 patients with classic 21-OHD followed up for approximately 11.6 years(the longest 25.3 years)in a single institution, and the variables related to NFH.Method: Patients with classic 21-OHD followed up at our clinic, who had ...

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...

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 ...
