Abstract

Objective Transient neonatal diabetes mellitus (TNDM) is caused by activating mutations in ABCC8 and KCNJ11 genes (KATP/TNDM) or by chromosome 6q24 abnormalities (6q24/TNDM). We wanted to assess whether these different genetic aetiologies result in distinct clinical features. Design Retrospective analysis of the Italian data set of patients with TNDM. Methods Clinical features and treatment of 22 KATP/TNDM patients and 12 6q24/TNDM patients were compared. Results Fourteen KATP/TNDM probands had a carrier parent with abnormal glucose values, four patients with 6q24 showed macroglossia and/or umbilical hernia. Median age at diabetes onset and birth weight were lower in patients with 6q24 (1 week; −2.27 SD) than those with KATP mutations (4.0 weeks; −1.04 SD) (P = 0.009 and P = 0.007, respectively). Median time to remission was longer in KATP/TNDM than 6q24/TNDM (21.5 weeks vs 12 weeks) (P = 0.002). Two KATP/TNDM patients entered diabetes remission without pharmacological therapy. A proband with the ABCC8/L225P variant previously associated with permanent neonatal diabetes entered 7-year long remission after 1 year of sulfonylurea therapy. Seven diabetic individuals with KATP mutations were successfully treated with sulfonylurea monotherapy; four cases with relapsing 6q24/TNDM were treated with insulin, metformin or combination therapy. Conclusions If TNDM is suspected, KATP genes should be analyzed first with the exception of patients with macroglossia and/or umbilical hernia. Remission of diabetes without pharmacological therapy should not preclude genetic analysis. Early treatment with sulfonylurea may induce long-lasting remission of diabetes in patients with KATP mutations associated with PNDM. Adult patients carrying KATP/TNDM mutations respond favourably to sulfonylurea monotherapy.

Abstract

AimThe aim of this study was to determine the spontaneous closure rate of patent ductus arteriosus at a 2-year follow-up, following failed medical therapy and beyond initial hospital discharge, and to evaluate in-hospital spontaneous or pharmacological closure rates.Materials and methodsA retrospective evaluation was conducted in a cohort of preterm infants admitted to the Neonatal ICU of Ancona between January, 2004 and June, 2013. Inclusion criteria were gestational age between 24+0 and 29+6 weeks or birth weight 1.5 mm, a left atrium-to-aorta ratio >1.4, and/or reversal of end-diastolic flow in the aorta >30% of the anterograde. First-line treatment was intravenous ibuprofen. Intravenous indomethacin was used if ibuprofen failed. Surgical ligation was considered in haemodynamically significant patent ductus arteriosus after medical treatment.ResultsA total of 593 infants met the inclusion criteria, and patent ductus arteriosus was diagnosed in 317 (53.4%). Among them, 283 (89.3%) infants had haemodynamically significant patent ductus arteriosus, with pharmacological closure achieved in 228 (80.6%) infants and surgical ligation performed in 20 (7.1%). Follow-up at 24 months was available for 39 (81.3%) of 48 infants with patent ductus arteriosus at the hospital discharge: 36 (92.3%) underwent spontaneous closure, two (5.1%) underwent surgical ligation, and one (2.6%) had a patent ductus arteriosus.DiscussionA significant number of patent ductus arteriosus that fail pharmacological closure undergo spontaneous closure by the age of 2 years. This information should be taken into account when considering surgery or additional attempts of pharmacological closure.

Abstract

The incidence of type 1 diabetes in childhood is increasing by 3 % per year, placing growing demands on healthcare professionals and medical expenditures. Aim of this study wars to assess the organization of care to children with diabetes in Italy.During 2012 a structured questionnaire was sent to all of the members of Italian Society of Paediatric Endocrinology and Diabetology (ISPED). Questions examined organizational structure of Centers, personnel dedicated to the care of children with diabetes, number of subjects followed, local legal legislation supporting centres.A total of 68 centers taking care to 15,563 children and adolescents with diabetes under 18 years of age were identified with a prevalence of 1.4 per 1,000 people. A wide variation in the organizational background was also reported. Fourty-four centers were organized as outpatient departments, 17 as simple units, 5 as complex units and 2 as simple departmental structures. Most centers had a multidisciplinary team. Ten out of twenty Italian regions had introduced supportive regional legislation, but it was fully applied only in six of them.Great differences between regions were found in organizational structures, staffing levels and supportive legislation. The national legislation on diabetes was broadly implemented throughout the country regions. Further efforts are needed to improve standards and consistency of pediatric diabetes care in Italy.

Abstract

Infantile hepatic hemangioma can be associated to consumptive hypothyroidism due to overexpression of type 3 deiodinase in the endothelium of vascular tumor, which catalyzes the conversion of T4 to reverse T3 (rT3) and of T3 to T2, both of which are biologically inactive. Here, we report an infant with a massive biopsy-proven infantile hepatic hemangioma who developed thyroid dysfunction without a typical biochemical profile consistent with severe consumptive hypothyroidism, despite the large tumor burden. Our patient was treated with propranolol that rapidly resolved both hepatic hemangioma and thyroid dysfunction. We propose propranolol as a first-line therapy of thyroid dysfunction associated with infantile hepatic hemangioma, in order to avoid interference with neurological development caused by hypothyroidism in the first months of life.
