Background: Chronic autoimmune thyroiditis (cAIT) and Graves’ disease (GD) are the most common autoimmune disorders in children. Proinflammatory cytokine such as IL-6 has been generally associated with the induction of inflammation and autoimmunity. Osteoprotegerin, a soluble glycoprotein and a member of the tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR) family, play an important role in bone homeostasis and in vasculature.Objective and hypotheses: The aim o...

Background: Chronic autoimmune thyroiditis (cAIT) leads to hypothyroidism due to T cell-mediated cytotoxicity in most cases. By contrast, Graves’ disease (GD) with thyrotropin receptor stimulatory autoantibodies cause hyperthyroidism. OPG a cytokine receptor which mediates suppressive effect on osteoclastogenesis is a key regulator of inflammation and may be a link between bone, autoimmune disease and vasculature.Objective and hypotheses: Cytokines ...

Objective: Continuous subcutaneous insulin therapy (CSII) and therapy with insulin analogues are considered to provide physiological insulin replacement, which results in improvement of diabetes control. Rate metabolic compensation of diabetes mellitus (DM) in children on IPT and basal-bolus insulin therapy on the level HbA1c and self-control of glycemia.Methods: We analyzed retrospectively 88 histories of disease children with type 1 DM. The patients we...

Introduction: The placenta is an endocrine organ vital to fetal growth. It has multiple functions: pregnancy maintenance, nutrient and oxygen transport to the fetus, and removal of waste products among other functions. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) and proteins are significant mediators of these functions. A description of their global expression in healthy placenta may increase our understanding of the molecular biological pathways that are important for normal fetal gr...

Background: in our days the case of reduction of bone mineral density becomes more common. This pathology can be detected in children and adolescents with obesity with the help of densitometry.Aim: to reveal the dynamics of body composition indicators in obese children.Methods: we examined 32 children with obesity in the University Hospital (Minsk) in 2020-2022 yrs. Their anthropom...

Background: Binge-consuming disorder(BE) is mental ilness where people eats large amounts of food over a short period of time with associated negative psychological problems, but wihout the compensatory behaviors. Nowadays this illness is more common in obese children.Objective: To evaluate the frequency of compulsive overeating in children with obesity.Methods: We examined 148 chi...

Objective: To evaluate bone mineral density (BMD) and its relationship with vitamin D in children with obesity.Methods: We examined 110 children in the University Hospital (Minsk) from 2015 to 2018 yrs. Their anthropometric parameters (height, weight, body mass index (BMI)) were determined. Body composition with evaluating of mineral component were made by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry with the calculation of feet, hands, spine, ribs, hips BMD (g/cm<s...

Background: Patients affected with PHP1B are characterized by resistance to PTH which binds to the PTH receptor and activate the cAMP/Gsa signaling pathway. Gsa is encoded by GNAS, a locus subjected to genomic imprinting. PHP1B patients present with abnormal methylation at the maternal A/B promoter and, in some cases, at the other promoters (XLas, GNAS-AS1 and NESP55) of the GNAS locus, likely leading to a decreased express...

Suitably treatment of Basedow–Graves’ disease (BGD) provide the minimization of time to develop the medicamental remission. Research: determine clinical, laboratory particularities, evaluate efficiency of pharmaceutical treatment of BGD in children in different age groups. Materials and methods: 35 children with BGD were examined (4 boys, 31 girls): 1st group (Tanner 1) n=4, 7.5±0.65 years; 2nd – (Tanner 2–4) n=22, 12.32±0.31 yea...

Background: Obesity is a worldwide pathological epidemic. Children and adolescents are a major concern in this trend.Objective and hypotheses: To identify the dynamics of body composition in children with alimentary obesity in puberty.Methods: 105 children with alimentary obesity with BMI over 30 kg/m2 were examinated. Anthropometric parameters (height, weight, waist, and hip circumference (WC, CH)), BMI, biochemical par...
