Childhood obesity and central precocious puberty.

Zhong Nan Da Xue Xue Bao Yi Xue Ban

Second Ward of Endocrinology Department, First Affiliated Hospital of Henan University of Chinese Medicine, Zhengzhou 450000.

Central precocious puberty (CPP) is an endocrine disorder in children caused by the early activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis (HPGA), leading to elevated gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), which triggers the development of gonads and the secretion of sex hormones. This eventually results in the development of internal and external genitalia and secondary sexual characteristics. CPP significantly affects the physical and mental health of children and may increase the risk of various adult diseases.

Women and Children's Medical Research Center, The First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University, Nanjing 210029, China. Electronic address:

Anxiety is one of the most common mental disorders. Neurotensin (NT) is a neuropeptide widely distributed in the central nervous system, involved in the pathophysiology of many neural and psychiatric disorders such as anxiety. However, the neural substrates mediating NT's effect on the regulation of anxiety have not been fully identified.

University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, Minneapolis, MN, USA.

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathophysiology is complex. Decrease in CSF soluble Aβ and accumulation of amyloid plaques (by amyloid PET) are two distinct biomarkers of amyloid pathology. However, the pathophysiologic process associated with each biomarker is not clear.

Background: Gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists (GnRHa) are commonly used in assisted reproduction technology (ART) cycles to prevent a luteinising hormone (LH) surge during controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) prior to planned oocyte retrieval, thus optimising the chances of live birth. We compared the benefits and risks of the different GnRHa protocols used.

Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of different GnRHa protocols used as adjuncts to COH in women undergoing ART.

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most prevalent neurodegenerative disorder worldwide and is characterized by clinical symptoms that include deficits in memory and cognition. There is an urgent need to better identify the neural networks that govern cognitive processes in humans and how they are impacted by AD pathology. The brainstem is a critical region that 'connects' the forebrain and the spinal cord and contains various nuclei involved in autonomic and complex functions (e.
