Background: Mitochondrial ribosomal protein S2 (MRPS2) gene mutation, which is related to severe hypoglycemia and lactic acidosis, is rarely reported globally.
Case Presentation: We report a case of a new MRPS2 gene mutation in a Chinese girl who presented with hypoglycemia and lactic acidosis. A homozygous C.412C > G variant that could cause complex oxidative phosphorylation deficiency and had not been reported before was identified. The clinical manifestations included recurrent vomiting, hypoglycemia, lactic acidosis, sensorineural hearing loss, and gall bladder calculi. Hypoglycemia and lactic acidosis improved after the administration of sugary liquid and supportive treatments.
Conclusions: Recurrent hypoglycemia with lactic acidosis and sensorineural hearing loss should lead to suspicion of mitochondrial defects and the early refinement of genetic tests.

Impact of adolescents' binge drinking on blood chemistry.

Article Synopsis
- - The study examined the effects of binge drinking on adolescent blood chemistry, focusing on glucose, sodium, calcium, potassium, and acid-base balance, by analyzing medical records from 173 teenagers treated at a Milan hospital between 2013 and 2023.
- - Results showed that while glucose, sodium, and calcium levels were generally stable, there were significant cases of hypokalemia and an overwhelming presence of acute respiratory acidosis among binge drinkers.
- - The findings indicate that binge drinking in adolescents leads to notable disturbances in acid-base balance and potassium levels, but has little impact on glucose, sodium, and calcium levels.

Epidermis is one of the most rapidly proliferating tissues in the body with high demands for adenosine triphosphate and cellular building blocks. In this study, we show that to meet these requirements, keratinocytes constitutively express HIF-1α, even in the presence of oxygen levels sufficient for HIF-1α hydroxylation. We previously reported that mice with severe epidermal mitochondrial dysfunction actually showed a hyperproliferative epidermis but rapidly died of systemic lactic acidosis and hypoglycemia, indicating excessive glycolysis.

Pregnancy in women with FBPase deficiency puts them at high risk for metabolic decompensation due to increased glucose demands from the growing fetus. Here we report a 31-year-old primipara who was treated starting at 14 weeks gestation with a diet high in complex carbohydrates and low in fructose, sucrose, and sorbitol and close monitoring of glucose levels throughout her pregnancy.

To investigate the clinical characteristics, genetic characteristics and follow-up of hepatic glycogen accumulation in order to further improve the prognosis of children with hepatic glycogen accumulation. Clinical data of hospitalized children diagnosed with hepatic glycogen accumulation disease in the Department of gastroenterology, Children's Hospital Affiliated to Capital Institute of Pediatrics from January 2010 to April 2023 were collected and retrospectively analyzed. The results of laboratory examination and gene sequencing were analyzed, and the patients with more than 3 cases (n) were grouped according to the genetic results: Group 1 was type Ⅰ (=8), group 2 was type Ⅲ (=5), and group 3 was type Ⅸ a (=8).

Recurrent non-severe hypoglycemia (RH) in diabetes is an independent risk factor for cognitive dysfunction. However, the mechanisms and potential therapeutic strategies remain poorly understood. In this study, we aimed to elucidate the mechanisms underlying RH-induced diabetic cognitive impairment.
