AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Objective: We aimed to examine the auxological findings of girls diagnosed with idiopathic central precocious puberty (CPP) at the end of the GnRHa treatment and to investigate the effect of related factors on the height gain of those patients.
Design: Single-center, descriptive, cross-sectional retrospective study.
Method: A total of 43 patients who were diagnosed with idiopathic CPP and treated with GnRHa between 2012 - 2021 were included in to the study.
Results: A decline in height standard deviation score (SDS) from 1.20 ± 0.14 to 1.02 ± 0.06 during the therapy was observed (P<0.001). The bone age/chronological age ratio was decreased and predictive adult height was increased at the end of the therapy (P<0.001; P=0.001). Both the rates of being overweight and obesity were increased (38.6% to 50% and 9% to 15.9%) when the treatment onset compared to the end of therapy. At the end of the treatment, the mean body mass index (BMI) SDS of the overweight patients was still higher compared to the normal-weight group (P<0.001).
Conclusion: We observed a positive effect of GnRHa therapy on height potential. An increase in BMI during the therapy has been also demonstrated especially in subjects who were overweight before treatment.

Preliminary comparison of net gain in final adult height of girls with early menarche treated with or without gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist.
Transl Pediatr
December 2024
Department of Pediatrics, Tianjin Medical University General Hospital, Tianjin, China.
Background: Early menarche is associated with both physical and psychosocial problems. Based on psychological and physical health considerations, for girls with early menarche, some parents and physicians may elect to use gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists (GnRHa) to delay menstruation. This study aimed to explore the effects of GnRHa treatment on the final height of girls with early menarche and build the models to predict the final adult height (FAH).

Background: Direct vertebral rotation (DVR) effectiveness in improving scoliosis correction outcomes remains unclear and requires further investigation.
Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of short and extended fusion techniques using en-bloc DVR in correcting adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) classified as Lenke 5 curve (5C).
Materials And Methods: This retrospective study included 90 randomly selected AIS patients with Lenke 5C who underwent posterior spinal instrumentation surgery using en-bloc DVR between 2014 and 2021.

Background: Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is increasingly prevalent, yet longitudinal outcome data are scarce. This study aimed to characterise demographic and longitudinal clinical changes in a cohort of patients with IIH.
Methods: Retrospective cohort analysis on adult patients diagnosed with IIH (Friedman criteria) enrolled in the neuro-ophthalmology database (NODE) across two tertiary centres.
Endocytic recycling is central to circadian collagen fibrillogenesis and disrupted in fibrosis.

Collagen-I fibrillogenesis is crucial to health and development, where dysregulation is a hallmark of fibroproliferative diseases. Here, we show that collagen-I fibril assembly required a functional endocytic system that recycles collagen-I to assemble new fibrils. Endogenous collagen production was not required for fibrillogenesis if exogenous collagen was available, but the circadian-regulated vacuolar protein sorting (VPS) 33b and collagen-binding integrin α11 subunit were crucial to fibrillogenesis.
