Background: Familial hCG syndrome is a rare and benign cause of elevated serum beta human chorionic gonadotropin (β- hCG), moreover, elevated β-hCG in cerebrospinal fluid(CSF) has never been reported in familial hCG syndrome.Object: To report the two Chinese families of familial hCG syndrome with elevated β-hCG concurrently in blood/CSF.Method: We described the clini...

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...

Central precocious puberty (CPP) is one of the most common pediatric endocrine diseases with an ever increasing incidence. CPP is associated with the loss of final adult height, early menarche, psychological problems and an increased risk of developing diseases in later adulthood such as female reproductive system tumors. The gonadotropin-releasing hormone stimulation test (GnRHST) is the gold standard for the diagnosis of CPP. However, the test is costly and time consuming to...

Background: The gold standard for CPP diagnosis is gonadotropin releasing hormone stimulation test (GnRHST). However, this test is expensive, invasive and inconvenient for screening. Some recent studies have demonstrated that the FMV urinary luteinizing hormone (U-LH) has a strong correlation with LH peak value and serum basal LH, and a high consistency with Tanner staging results, but due to the lack of large-sample, multicenter clinical research data, a form...

Objective: To explore the influencing factors of girls with rapidly progressive puberty(RPP), to construct a risk prediction model of RPP in girls, to investigate the value of serum IGFBP-2, Irisin and Ghrelin in prediction of RPP in girls.Methods: 1. Construction and verification of the prediction model for girls with rapidly progressive puberty. The girls who visited the Department of Endocrinology, Children's Hos...
