Background: Adolescent hyperandrogenemia is prophase of polycystic ovary syndrome. Obesity is one important cause of hyperandrogenemia. Whether hyperandrogenemia has happened in obese children is need to explore.Aims and objectives: To investigate the levels of insulin and androgens in obese children, analysis the correlation between insulin resistance and androgens, and comparison on the differences of androgens levels between obese boys and girls, and ...

Objective Summarizing and analysing the clinical characteristics of 193 patients with McCune-Albright syndrome (MAS) in China to improve the understanding of MAS for early detection, diagnosis and management. Methods All MAS-themed case-report or case-series studies published by the Chinese between January 1990 and November 2022 were retrieved from the Wanfang Full Text, CNKI, China Science and Technology Journal, PubMed and Embase databases, and clinical data were collected. ...

Quantitative analysis of endogenous and exogenous steroid hormones is an important step for our understanding of the causes of endocrine disorders in pediatric. In this study, we developed a method to simultaneously quantify endogenous and exogenous steroids in pediatric urine and plasma. Ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) was used to simultaneously quantify steroid hormones in children plasma and urine. Under the optimum conditions, th...

Introduction: Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS), a common syndromic form of childhood obesity, is characterized by failure-to-thrive during infancy followed by progressive hyperphagia and obesity in childhood. The pathogenesis of hyperphagia and weight-gain in PWS is poorly understood and management strategies have had variable and limited success. Several studies support an etiological contribution of dysbiotic gut microbiota in the metabolic derangements of obesit...

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 ...

Aims: To evaluate the performance of a factory-calibrated flash glucose monitoring system in children with diabetes compared to venous blood glucose (BG).Methods: A total of 13 hospitalized participants newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, aged 1~14 years old, were involved in the study. Sensor glucose measurements on days 2, 3, 6, 7, 12 and 13 of wear were compared with venous BG. During these days, the venous BG ...

Objective: To investigate the clinical features and genetic characteristics of HRAS-associated Costello Syndrome.Method: Characteristics of clinical data and gene mutation of two cases Costello Syndrome in XX hospital were retrospectively analyzed. The related literature was searched by using search terms ‘HRAS’ or ‘Costello Syndrome’.Result: Both patients were presented with mental retardation, growth retardati...

Backgrounds: The treatment of diazoxide-unresponsive congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI) is a big challenge in clinical practice. Octreotide is an off-lable medicine for CHI but widely used nowadays. However, the efficacy and adverse effects have been reported varied in centers.Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the subcutaneous octreotide injection for diazoxide-unresponsive CHI in China.Subjects and methods: Diazoxide...

Objective: To assess the effects and safety of recombinant human GH (rhGH) in GH deficient (GHD) children with Rathke cyst.Methods: The clinical data of 12 GHD children aged from 5–12 years old, whose radiologic diagnosis showed Rathke cyst during Jan 2010–Dec 2012 in our hospital, were analyzed retrospectively. rhGH was given subcutaneously to each enrolled child with a night dose of 0.1 IU/kg six to seven times a week for 12–30 months. T...

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...
