Objective: To explore the value of continuous hemodiafiltration in rescuing children with severe diabetic ketoacidosis.Method: Two children with severe diabetic ketoacidosis were studied in regard to clinical manifestation, laboratory examination and treatment and of the relevant literature was reviewed.Result: Case 1 was a girl of 13 years 5 months old, who was diagnosed as ‘Type 1 diabetes mellitus, Diabetic ketoacidosis and...

Background: Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a proinflammatory cytokine associated with obesity, insulin resistance, hypertension, and atherosclerosis in adulthood. Few studies have been conducted in healthy young children. We aimed to investigate whether IL-6 levels are associated with cardiometabolic risk factors in healthy 4-year-old children.Methods: From a prospective cohort study named Environment and Development of Children (EDC) cohort, a total of 421 sin...

Purpose: Androgen insensitivity syndrome (AIS) is a rare X-linked recessive disorder caused by unresponsiveness to androgen because of mutations in the AR gene. Here, we investigated the clinical outcomes and molecular spectrum of AR variants in patients with AIS attending a single academic center.Methods: This study included 19 patients with AIS who were confirmed by molecular analysis of AR. Clinical features and endoc...

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...
