Objective: The study was to detect the proper regimen of estrogen in HRT in girls with TS.Method: We conducted a retrospective, longitudinal study with 76 girls with TS from The First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University over the past two decades.Results: The investigation time was 3.00 (2.00, 4.66) yrs. The uterine volume grew significantly till B4 stage when compared wit...

Objective: To summarize the clinical features and genetic characteristics of a patient with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2B (MEN2B) and to review the literatures.Methods: We summarized clinical features, gene sequencing result, treatment and prognosis of a child suffered with MEN2B who was admitted to the Department of Pediatrics, Ruijin Hospital, Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine in February 2016. And...

Background and Aims: Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is a group of autosomal recessive disorders characterized by impaired cortisol synthesis. 21-hydroxylase deficiency (21-OHD) caused by mutations in CYP21A2 gene is the most common form of CAH. This study aims to analyze the phenotype-genotype correlation and the characteristics of gene mutation frequency of 21-OHD patients in China, helping to provide evidence for clinical practice and genetic counseling of 21-OHD patie...

Objective: To investigate the etiology and clinical features of Chinese children with PAI.Method: 427 children (age 0–18 years) with PAI followed at our institution between September 1989 and March 2016 were studied.Results: 1. 228 males and 199 female (1.14:1) were included. Median age at diagnosis was 1.66 (10th–90th, 0.06~8.73 yrs.2. An identified diagnosis(clinical or genetic) was obtained in 93...

Objectives: To explore the clinical value of common pathogenic gene detection in the diagnosis and treatment in hyperglycemia infants and children.Subjects and Methods: Subjects were in-patients with hyperglycemia, age of onset before 1 year-old, or insulin antibody negative and with family history of diabetes. Gene sequencing for ABCC8, KCNJ11, INS and GCK were performed and potential mutations were analyzed. The pati...

Objectives: To report a case of concomitance of diabetes mellitus, autoimmune hemolytic anemia, hepatosplenomegaly and lymphadenopathy in a 7-year girl.Methods: Retrospective review of medical records of a patient with multiple autoimmune diseases followed at the Departments of Endocrinology and Metabolism, Children’s Hospital of Fudan University. This rare case was undergoing whole exome sequencing.Results: This girl 2 year w...

Background and aims: A novel bioactive peptide, mitochondrial-derived peptide (MOTS-c), has recently attracted attention as a potential prevention or therapeutic option for obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). MOTS-c profiles have not yet been reported in human obesity and T2DM. We aimed to determine circulating MOTS-c levels in obesity and explore the association between MOTS-c levels and various metabolic parameters. Methods: In this case-control study, 40 obese chil...

Objective: This study is to evaluate the association among plasma adropin, leptin, lipopolysaccharide-binding protein (LBP) levels and lipid characteristics in children with obesity.Methods: This was a cross-sectional study of children with obesity ranging from 5.5 to 12.5 years old, and age- and gender-matched children with normal weight were collected as control. Height, weight, waist circumference and hip circumference of all the participants were mea...

Turner syndrome is associated with insulin resistance, increased incidence of type II diabetes, and hypertension, all of which are cardiovascular risk factors. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the lipid profile of Chinese girls with untreated Turner syndrome, (aged 2 to 15 years; 50.9% 45,XO) and age-matched, normal girls. A total of 108 girls with Turner syndrome and 99 normal girls had lipid profile measurements, including cholesterol, triglycerides,high-density lip...

Objective: To investigate the co-relationship among glucolipid metabolism and inflammation, adipokines in obese and normal weight children.Methods: Children aged 5 to 15 year-old were collected. Fasting venous blood samples were collected to test liver function, triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL), fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and insulin. The inflammatory marker...
