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: 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...

The DHX37 gene has been identified to cause 46, XY disorders of sex development (DSD), yet there are no reports in China. Here, we report a Chinese pediatric case of 46, XY DSD identified by Whole-exome sequencing which carried a heterozygous missense mutation c.2020 C > T (P.R674 W) in DHX37 gene (NM _ 032656) inherited from the mother. Gonadal pathology showed that the left gonad was structured with a vas deferens and epididymal duct, and the right gonad had vas deferens,...

Background: Insulin resistance in obesity and type 2 diabetes is associated with abnormalities in mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation in skeletal muscle. Whether mitochondrial function changes in hepatocytes with hereditary insulin resistance is not clear. Type A Insulin Resistance Syndrome (TAIRS) is a rare disorder characterized by severe insulin resistance, a condition in which the body's tissues and organs do not respond properly to the hormone ins...

Objective: Thyroxine binding globulin (TBG) is the most important thyroid hormone transporter in humans and is encoded by the SERPINA7 gene located on chromosome Xq22.2. By analyzing the genes of TBG-deficient patients, we aim to find a new molecular basis for the possible etiology of the disease.Design and Methods: 10 groups of subjects were enrolled in the pediatric department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejia...

Objective: We aim to investigate the association among progranulin (PGRN), high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), and obesity related markers in young rat model of high fat diet-induced obesity.Materials and Methods: 20 Male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats at the age of 21 days were divided into two groups randomly. The rats were fed with normal diet (NC group) or high-fat diet (OB group). The NC group and OB group were sacrificed ...
