Background: Patients with 46,XY, DSD are characterized by ambiguous or female external genitalia, caused by incomplete intrauterine masculinization. 5α-reductase type 2 deficiency due to SRD5A2 gene mutations result in inadequate conversion from testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), and is responsible for incomplete virilization in male patients. Up to date, more than 50 mutations have been reported, however, clinical features are variable and heterogeneous.<p cl...

Background: Management of transient neonatal diabetes mellitus is complex. Conventional insulin therapy may be increase additional medical problems. From the case is presented, We suggested s.c. insulin pump therapy of neonatal diabetes is a safe and effective approach to management.Objective and hypotheses: To evaluate the therapeutic effect of continuous s.c. insulin infusion with insulin pump in a case with transient neonatal diabetes mellitus (TNDM)....

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).</...

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...

Keywords: growth hormone, small for gestational age, genetic defects; Silver-Russell syndrome; growth hormone deficiencyObjectives: To evaluate the influencing factors of GH treatment in Chinese short stature children born SGA.Methods: This was a single-center, retrospective, cross-sectional survey in China. Of 101 patients were identified born SGA and 66 short stature children bor...

Background: Precocious puberty is common in boys occasionally in girls with beta human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG)-secreting intracranial tumors, and is reported to be peripheral precocious puberty exclusively.Object: To described a girl with intracranial β-hCG-secreting germ cell tumor（GCT） who presented with central precocious puberty（CPP）.Method:<...

Background: Noonan syndrome (NS) is a common autosomal dominant/recessive disorder. No large-scale study has been conducted on NS in China, which is the most populous country in the world.Methods: Next-generation sequencing (NGS) was used to identify pathogenic variants in patients that exhibited NS-related phenotypes. We assessed the facial features and clinical manifestations of patients with pathogenic or likely patho...

Objective: To enhance the understanding of the clinical phenotypes of patients with SOX2 gene mutations.Method: A retrospectively analysis of the clinical manifestations and the laboratory results of a child diagnosed as idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism(IHH) by whole exome-gene sequencing and a review of relevant literatures.Results: A 12-year-old boy clinically manifested short stature, mental retardation, a histo...

Type 1 diabetes mellitus is autoimmune T cells mediated destruction of β-cells. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are considered a promising treatment for T1DM due to the strong immunosuppressive and regenerative capacity. However, the comprehensive mechanism is still unclear. Our previous study indicated that the transforming growth factor beta-induced gene (TGFBI) is highly expressed in human umbilical cord derived mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs), which is also implicated...

Background:In children and adolescents suffered form primary intracranial germ cell tumors, bifocal GCTs are rare and were reported a bad prognosis. In this study, we report a case and summarize the clinical characteristics and prognosis.Methods: A boy suffered form bifocal GCTs (Basal ganglia and pineal region) was diagnosed in our hospital and accepted chemotherapy+radiotherapy, and was followed up.<p class="abstex...
