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...

Background: Early menarche may be associated with diabetes, metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease and oligomenorrhoea in adults. While the state of metabolism and gonadal axis of early menarche girls and girls who treated with Gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogues (GnRHa) during puberty was not so clear.Objective and hypotheses: We assessed in a retrospective unicentre study the state of metabolism and gonadal axis of early menarche girls and gir...

Background: Oestrogen has positive effect to glucose and lipid metabolism. On the contrary, leptin has negative effect to metabolism. During GnRHa treatment, the secretion of oestrogen was suppressed and its effect will fade away.Objective and hypotheses: To observe the changes of body fat and metabolic parameters of central precocious puberty (CPP) or early and fast puberty (EFP) girls who treated with Gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogues (GnRHa).</...

Background: To explore the reason of children on the 46,XY DSD.Objective and hypotheses: To analyze the clinical characteristics, diagnosis and management of a case with steroid 5α-reductase type 2 deficiency (SRD5A2) and perform related gene mutation analysis with a view to raising awareness of this disease.Method: A 2 year old 5 months child came with abnomal vulval shape. Karyotype was analyzed by chromosome cultivation. Gn...

Background: Psychosocial factors and health events are important for patients with chronic diseases such type 1 diabetes (TD1).Objective and hypotheses: The aim was to explore the psychosocial factors, health events and comorbidity found at diagnosis and during the follow up of children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes. Also to analyze the association between socioeconomic status and glycaemic control.Method: Medical charts of ...

Background: Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is the most serious acute complication of type 1 Diabetes mellitus (T1DM). It is important to know the factors associated with the development of DKA and elaborate preventive strategies to reduce their prevalence.Objective and hypotheses: To identify DKA predictive risk factors in the initial presentation of T1DM in children and adolescents.Method: We conducted a retrospective study, by analy...

Background: Precocious puberty in girls may result in loss of FAH, and particularly may relates to obesity when entering adulthood. However,The influence of the timing of pubertal onset on the FAH and the change of body weight during pubertal stages is still controversial.Objective: The research is to investigate the pubertal growth pattern and the change of BMI levels in girls with ICPP and those who have normal onset of puberty but at different ages.</...

Objective: Vaspin plays an important role in the foetal and postnatal development of children. The effect of early-onset infection in neonates on vaspin levels is not well known.The aim of the study: 1) evaluation of serum vaspin concentrations in full-term appropriate-for-gestational-age (AGA) newborns, according to their gender, birth asphyxia, type of delivery, occurrence of early-onset infections; 2) analysis of correlations between serum vaspin conc...
