In the last years, relevant improvements in the treatment of CPP have been achieved. Because CPP is rare in boys, the majority of papers on this issue focus on girls and do not address specific features of male patients regarding end results and safety. In the present paper, recent advances of CPP management with GnRH analogs in men are summarized. End results in untreated and treated patients are also reviewed by an analysis of the recently published literature on treatment of CPP in men. The available data indicate that therapy with GnRH analogs can improve final height into the range of target height without significant adverse short-term and long-term effects, but longer follow-up of larger series of patients is still required to draw definitive conclusions.展开更多

In this study, 280 girls diagnosed with ICPP and 188 normal puberty control girls of similar ages were enrolled and retrospectively studied. The ICPP group had significantly lower serum 25- hydroxyvitamin D （25[OH]D） levels than the control group. Furthermore, a nonlinear relationship was found between serum 25[OH]D and ICPP, and a cut-offpoint for serum 25[OH]D was found at 31.8 ng/ml for ICPP with and without adjusting the different confounding factors. Girls with serum 25[OH]D 〉~ 31.8 ng/ml had a lower odds ratio （unadjusted： OR 0.36, 95% CI 0.15 to 0.83, P 〈 0.05; height and weight adjusted： OR 0.44, 95~0 CI 0.18 to 1.08, P = 0.072; BMI adjusted： OR 0.36, 95% CI 0.16 to 0.84, P 〈 0.05）. The ICPP subjects with 25[OH]D deficiency had a higher body mass index （BMI） than the subjects from the two other subgroups. Correlation analysis showed that vitamin D level is correlated with BMI and some metabolic parameters in the ICPP group. Our study suggested that vitamin D status may be associated with ICPP risk and may have a threshold effect on ICPP.展开更多

The relationship between body mass index（BMI） and sexual hormone levels of gonadotropin-releasing hormone（GnRH） stimulation test in ICPP girls is controversial and the underlying mechanism is unclear. This study aims to further explore the independent effect of excess adiposity on peak luteinizing hormone（LH） level of stimulation test in ICPP girls and the role of other related factors. A retrospective cross-sectional study was performed on 618 girls diagnosed as having ICPP, including 355 cases of normal weight, 99 cases of overweight and 164 cases of obese. The results showed that obese group had more progressed Tanner stage and no significant difference（P=0.28） in LH peak was found as basal LH value was used as a covariate. The obese group had higher total testosterone（TT）, adrenocorticotrophic hormone（ACTH）, 17-α hydroxyprogesterone（17-αOHP） and androstendione（AN）, with significantly increased fasting insulin（FIN） and homeostasis model of assessment for insulin resistance index（HOMA-IR）. Stratified analysis showed inconsistency of the relationship between BMI-standard deviation score（BMI-SDS） and LH peak in different Tanner stages（P for interaction=0.017）. Further smoothing plot showed linear and non-linear relationship between BMI-SDS and LH peak in three Tanner stages. Then linear regression model was used to analyze the relationship between BMI-SDS and LH peak in different Tanner stages, with and without different confounding factors being adjusted. In B2 stage, BMI-SDS was negatively associated with LH peak. In B3 stage, when BMI-SDS 〈1.5, as BMI-SDS increased, the level of LH peak decreased（model Ⅰ： β=–1.8, 95% CI=–4.7 to 1.1, P=0.214）. When BMI-SDS ≥1.5, BMI-SDS was significantly positively associated with LH peak（model Ⅰ： β=4.5, 95% CI=1.7 to 7.4, P=0.002）. In B4 stage, when BMI-SDS 〈1.5, BMI-SDS was negatively associated with LH peak（model Ⅰ： β=–11.6, 95% CI=–22.7 to –0.5, P=0.049）. When BMI-SDS ≥1.5, BMI-SDS was positively associated with LH peak（model Ⅰ： β=–4.2, 95% CI=–3.3 to 11.7, P=0.28）. It is concluded that there is an independent correlation between BMI-SDS and LH peak of stimulation test in ICPP girls, their relationships are different in different Tanner stages, and the effect of BMI-SDS can be affected by adrenal androgens, estradiol and glucose metabolism parameters.展开更多
