Introduction: The aim of the study was to discuss therapeutic effect and prognosis of pancreatectomy in the treatment of congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI).

Material And Methods: A total of 23 Chinese children with CHI, who had undergone pancreatectomy, were selected as the study objects. The clinical data, the results of the ¹⁸Fluoro-L-3-4 dihydroxyphenylalanine positron emission tomography/computerized tomography (¹⁸F-DOPA PET/CT) scanning, and the diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up were analysed retrospectively.

Objective: This study aimed to analyze the clinical and genetic characteristics of Chinese children with congenital hyperinsulinemia (CHI) that is spontaneously relieved.

Methods: The patient group comprised 200 children with CHI that were treated at the Beijing Children's Hospital from January 2006 to December 2018. The patients were divided into two groups according to their prognosis: the spontaneous remission group (n = 92) and the nonspontaneous remission group (n = 108).

This study aims to summarize and analyze the clinical manifestations, genetic characteristics, treatment modalities and long-term prognosis of congenital hyperinsulinemia (CHI) in Chinese children. Sixty children with CHI, who were treated at Beijing Children's Hospital from January 2014 to August 2017, and their families, were selected as subjects. The CHI-related causative genes in children were sequenced and analyzed using second-generation sequencing technology.

Objective: To explore the ABCC8, KCNJ11, and GLUD1 gene mutations of the 11 patients diagnosed as congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI).

Methods: A total of 11 CHI children hospitalized in Beijing Children's Hospital from November 2008 to February 2012 and their parents were chosen as the study subjects. Direct sequencing of PCR-DNA was used to analyze the 39 exons of ABCC8 gene, non-translational region and exon of KCNJ11 gene and 6, 7, 10, 11 and 12 exons of GLUD1 gene.

Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Zi-di Xu"

  • - Zi-Di Xu's research primarily focuses on congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI) in children, addressing clinical characteristics, genetic factors, and treatment outcomes through various studies involving sizable patient groups in China.
  • - A retrospective analysis of 23 children who underwent pancreatectomy demonstrated the therapeutic effects and long-term prognosis of this surgical intervention in managing CHI, providing valuable insights for clinical practices.
  • - Additionally, through genetic analysis in larger cohorts, Xu's studies have identified pathogenic genes linked to CHI, contributing to the understanding of the condition's etiology and aiding in the development of potential targeted therapies.*
