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 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...

Background: The differential diagnosis of partial precocious puberty (PPP) and central precocious puberty (CPP) is vital to the prompt intervention and administration, but their specific biomarkers are still unavailable. The potential harmful effects of environmental factors on children's growth and development attract great concern and require urgent investigation.Objective: The metabolic differences and connection...

Objective: To establish INS-1 cell iron overload model, and study the effect on iron overload, proliferation, insulin secretion, mitochondria defect and oxidative stress change.Methods: INS-1 cells were cultured with different concentrations (0 as control and 5, 10, 20, 40, 80,160,320µmol/L respectively) of ferric ammonium citrate (FAC). Labile iron pool (LIP) were calculated by detecting calcein-AM fluorescence ...

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of supervised Artificial Neural Network (sANN) in bone age assessment and compare the diagnostic performance of sANN-based TW3 skeletal maturity assessment on hand radiographs with that of experienced child endocrinologists.Materials and methods: This study developed an optimized artificial intelligence TW3 bone age assessment system by using the sANN and rating for the 20 hand bones (13RUS+7carpal) from A to I. 8332 of ...

Background: The Phosphoglucomutase 1 (PGM1) enzyme plays a central role in glucose homeostasis by catalyzing the inter-conversion of glucose 1-phosphate and glucose 6-phosphate. Recently, PGM1 deficiency was recognized to cause the congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDGs). PGM1 deficiency is a rare, autosomal recessive inherited disease which can cause the extreme variability of clinical symptoms multi-organ dysfunction, including ketotic hypoglycemia, dilated cardiomyopat...

Background: We want to know the clinical presentation and genetic mutation of congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI) patients in our country.Objective and hypotheses: To investigate the clinical outcomes and gene mutations related to CHI in our patients.Method: We studied the therapeutic outcomes of 95 cases of CHI and analyzed the associations between gene mutations and clinical features in 55 cases.Results: Among...

Objective: The onset of obesity complicated with metabolic syndrome in children and adolescents is hidden, the mechanism is unknown, and early warning indicators are lacking clinically. This study conducted multi-omics research on children and adolescents with simple obesity and obesity complicated with metabolic syndrome to provide early clinical diagnosis and drug treatment targets for its occurrence and development mechanism.M...

Object: To analyze the clinical and genetic characteristics of primary hypoparathyroidism in children from two children's hospitals in China.Methods: This study includes 47 patients (26 males, 21 females), who were diagnosed with primary hypoparathyroidism in Children's Hospital of Zhengzhou University and Children's Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine from January 2015 to November 2022. We ...

Several observational studies have reported vitamin D deficiency (VDD) in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). The investigation of VDD in children with new onset T1DM in China is lacking. The current study aimed to assess vitamin D status and examine the factors that influence VDD in children with new onset T1DM in Henan Province, China. Children with new onset T1DM (n=280) and healthy controls (n=710) were enrolled in Henan Province. Demographic a...
