Background: Hyperglycaemia is a common occurrence during the treatment for paediatric acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL). Emergence of new evidence exhibits conflicting results. The incidence of hyperglycaemia during chemotherapy has not been well described in the Asian population.Objective and hypotheses: The aim of study is to delineate the characteristics of paediatric patients at risk for hyperglycaemia during chemotherapy.Met...

Objectives: To evaluate the effect of combined treatment with GnRH analogue (GnRHa) and recombinant human GH (rhGH) on the linear growth in mid/late pubertal girls at great bone ages with central precocious puberty (CPP) or early and fast puberty (EFP). To investigate the relation between C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) signaling pathway and GH’s effect on linear growth in these girls. Methods 22 girls were diagnosed as CPP or EFP, whose bone ages were older than 11.5 ye...

Background: It’s well known that GnRH analogue (GnRHa) could not improve the final height of mid/late pubertal girls with central precocious puberty (CPP) or early and fast puberty (EFP) for their low growth potential.Objectives: To evaluate the effect of combined treatment with GnRHa and GH on the linear growth in mid/late pubertal girls with CPP/EFP at great bone ages. To investigate the relation between C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) and GH&#14...

Background: Sea-blue histiocytosis is a morphological finding that can be associated both with acquired conditions of increased cellular turnover and inborn errors of lipid metabolism.Objective and hypotheses: To present a Chinese boy of hypertension and sea-blue histiocytosis secondary to Niemann–Pick disease type B.Methods: Diagnosis was confirmed by the bone marrow aspiration and the specific enzyme assay of leukocytes (def...

Background: Ovarian adrenal rest tumours (OARTs) are rare in contrast to testicular adrenal rest tumours (TARTs).Objective and hypotheses: To summarise the characterization of OART in children and adolescent females with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency (21-OHD).Method: We have diagnosed four cases of CAH 21-OHD with OART in the recent 5 years and summarised the characterisations.<p class="a...

Background: A 8-year-old Chinese girl was referred by the endocrinologist of our hospital because of ambiguous external genitalia.Physical examination revealed breast and axillary hair and pubic hair at Tanner stage 1, There had two mass located within two side of inguinal regions,labia fusion, the size of clitoris was 2.0×1.0 cm, there was a vaginal opening. US images revealed a solid nodile suggestive of testicular tissue located in both inguinal regions. The MRI exam c...

Congenital lipoid adrenal hyperplasia (CLAH) is the most severe and extremely rare form of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). The typical features include 46, XY disorder of sex development (DSD), early-onset adrenal crisis and enlarged adrenal with fatty accumulation. We reported a case of congenital lipoid adrenal hyperplasia (CLAH) caused by steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (STAR) gene mutation. The patient had typical early-onset adrenal crisis at the age of 2 mon...

Objectives: To summarize the clinical manifestations of a patient of 46,XY partial gonadal dysgenesis (PGD) accompanied by neuropathy. This is the first reported case of DHH mutation from China.Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the case and summarized the clinical history, physical examinations, laboratory and genetics tests, electromyography, ultrasound, surgical exploration and histopathology results.Results: The 14.3-year-old...

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...

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...
