To investigate the associations of obesity with growth and puberty in children. From November 2017 to December 2019, height, weight, and Tanner stages of 26,879 children aged 3-18 years in Fuzhou, China were assessed. The obese group was significantly taller than the non-obese group after age 4 years for both genders, yet there was no significant difference in height between obese and non-obese group after 15.

This study is to evaluate the association of the three cytokines and glucose homeostasis.
Methods: This was a cross-sectional study of children with obesity ranging from 5 to 14 years compared to age- and sex-matched children of normal weight.
[Changes in T helper lymphocytes and their subsets in children with tic disorders].

July 2018
Article Synopsis
- * Results showed that children with TD had significantly lower overall percentages of these lymphocytes and a higher abnormal rate, along with a correlation between lymphocyte percentage and tic severity.
- * The findings suggest that changes in T helper lymphocytes, particularly an imbalance between their subsets, may play a role in the development of TD, indicating potential diagnostic value for assessing tic severity.
Objective: The following study investigated the serum adiponectin, chemerin and vaspin levels and their relationship with body mass index (BMI), glucose and lipid metabolism in girls with Turner Syndrome (TS).
Methods: A total of 64 girls with TS (mean age, 12.22 ± 3.
Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of autoimmune thyroid disease in Turner syndrome (TS) and the association between thyroid autoantibodies (TAA), thyroid dysfunction, age, and karyotype.
Methods: Sixty-nine girls with TS were divided into two groups according to being TAA-positive or TAA-negative. TAA and thyroid hormone concentrations were determined by immunochemiluminescence.
[Analysis of a family affected with familial male-limited precocious puberty due to a Ala568Val mutation in LHCGR gene].
Zhonghua Yi Xue Yi Chuan Xue Za Zhi
December 2012
Objective: Familial male-limited precocious puberty (FMPP) is due to constitutive activation of a mutant luteinizing hormone/choriogonadotropin receptor (LH/CGR) leading to elevated testosterone synthesis in testicular Leydig cells. In the present study, we have analyzed the LHCGR gene for members of a Chinese FMPP family.
Methods: Physical examinations have included assessment of penile length, testicular volume and pubic hair.
[Etiology and prognosis of peripheral precocious puberty in children].
Zhongguo Dang Dai Er Ke Za Zhi
December 2011
Objective: To study the causes and prognosis of peripheral precocious puberty.
Methods: The levels of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH) and estradiol (E2) were detected by a simplified gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) stimulation test. The etiologies of 125 children with peripheral precocious puberty were explored by ultrasound scans and bone age assessment.
