Wolfram syndrome-1 is a rare and severe autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disease characterized by diabetes mellitus (DM), optic atrophy, diabetes insipidus, and deafness. Poorly controlled type 1 DM increases the risk for thrombosis. However, coexistence of DM and hereditary thrombosis factors is rarely observed. Here we present the case of a 13.5-year-old, nonfollowed girl newly diagnosed with poorly controlled Wolfram syndrome on the basis of the results of clinical and laboratory examinations. On the eighth day after diabetic ketoacidosis treatment, pulmonary embolism developed in the subject. Thrombus identified in the right atrium using echocardiography was treated by emergency thrombectomy. Homozygous mutation in the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase gene C677T, heterozygous factor-V Leiden mutation, and active protein C resistance were identified in the patient. The patient was lost because of a recurring episode of pulmonary embolism on the 86th day of hospitalization. We present this case to highlight the need for investigating hereditary thrombosis risk factors in diabetic patients in whom thromboembolism develops. Copyright © 2016 Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc.

Objectives: To evaluate the impaired glucose metabolism and their possible risk factors in beta thalassemia major (TM) patients negative for hepatitis serology and PCR Design: Prospective descriptive study Setting: Department of Pediatric Hematology, Pamukkale University Faculty of Medicine, Denizli, Turkey Subjects: Patients with history of familial diabetes mellitus (DM) and hepatitis serology and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) positive TM patients were excluded. An oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was done on 32 TM patients. Insulinogenic index, ß-cell function index and insulin resistance index were calculated. Main Outcome Measures: Glucose metabolism in beta TM patients negative for hepatitis serology and PCR Results: Seven patients (1.8%) had impaired glucose metabolism (IGM). Three patients (9.3%) were diagnosed with DM, one (3.1%) patient with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and three (9.3%) patients with impaired fasting glucose (IFG). Cases with IGM had significantly higher, annual erythrocyte consumption rate (ml/kg/year), ferritin, alaninaminotransferase (ALT), post-splenectomy period, age at first transfusion when compared with normal glucose metabolism (NGM) patients (p < 0.05). Insulinogenic index decreased in IGM patients compared to NGM patients (p < 0.005). Conclusions: Our results show that annual erythrocyte consumption rate, ferritin, post-splenectomy period, insulinogenic index and ALT values are predictive of IGM in TM patients negative for hepatitis serology and PCR.

Ambigus genitalya bir kız ya da erkek çocuğun dış genital yapısının tipik anatomik görünüme sahip olmaması olarak tanımlanır. Bu çocuklarda klinik ve metabolik denge sağlandıktan sonra, tekrarlayan idrar yolu enfeksiyonu gibi farklı problemler huzursuzluk nedeni olabilir. Bu yazıda, bakteriler ve mantarların dahil olduğu bir çokmikroorganizmaya bağlı tekrarlayan idrar yolu enfeksiyonu ve XLAG sendromu (46 XY genotipi ile birlikte, X’e bağlı geçişli lizensefali ve ambigus genitalya) tanısı ile izlenen 22 aylık bir süt çocuğu sunulmuştur. Hastanın 10. ayında yapılan ultrasonografi, işeme sistoüretrografisi (İS) ve DMSA’lı böbrek sintigrafisi gibi radyolojik değerlendirmelerinin normal olduğu bildirilmişti. Bununla birlikte, önceki İS tekrar değerlendirildiğinde üretranıntamamı görülemedi. Yeniden çekilen İS’ de tekrarlayan idrar yolu enfeksiyonlarının nedeni olarak prostatik utrikül gösterildi. İşeme sistoüretrografisi üretra ve mesane anatomisi ile anomalilerini değerlendirmede yeterli olmasına rağmen, üretranın detaylı görüntülenmesi genellikle mesaneden daha az dikkate alınır. Bu olgunun ambigus genitalyalı çocuklarda tekrarlayan idrar yolu enfeksiyonuna neden olabilen üretral anomalilerin önemini vurgulayan bir hatırlatıcı olduğunu düşünmekteyiz., Ambiguous genitalia is described as the external genitalia that do not have the typical anatomic appearance of either a boy or a girl. After providing clinical and metabolic stability in these children, distinct problems such as recurrent urinary tract infections can also be a cause of irritability. Here, a 22-month-old infant with the diagnosis of XLAG syndrome (X-linked lissencephaly and ambiguous genitalia, with 46XY genotype) whosuffered from recurrent urinary tract infections due to many different microorganisms including bacteria and fungi, is presented. Previous radiologic evaluations of the patient, when he was 10-month-old, such as urinary ultrasonography (US), voiding cystourethrogram (VCUG), and 99mTc-DMSA renal scintigraphy were reported asnormal. However, when previous VCUG examination was re-evaluated, entire urethra could not be seen in the images. A new VCUG examination which performed as retrograde urethrography showed prostatic utricle as a cause of recurrent urinary tract infections. Although VCUG is sufficient for the evaluation of the anatomy andabnormalities of the bladder and urethra, a detailed imaging of the urethra is usually considered less than the bladder. We want to emphasize that this case is a reminder in depicting the importance of urethral anomalies which can be a cause of recurrent urinary tract infections in children with ambiguous genitalia.

AMAÇ: Kısa boy %2 oranla çocukluk çağında oldukça sık karşılaşılan bir durum olup tıbbi ve sosyal öneme sahiptir. İdiyopatik boy kısalığıherhangi bir dismorfik, sistemik, endokrinolojik, nutrisyonel ve kromozomal anomali olmaksızın normal seviyede büyüme hormonuna sahip bir bireyin boyunun belli bir populasyonda aynıyaşve cinsiyete göre hesaplanmışortalama boy değerinden -2 SD daha aşağıda olması şeklinde tanımlanmaktadır. İBK olan bazıolgularda belirli genlerde çeşitli mutasyonlar saptanmıştır. Bu genlerden biri X ve Y kromozomlarının p kolundaki pseudootozomal bölgenin (PAR1) 700 kb distalinde yer alan SHOXgenidir. Bu gende meydana gelen mutasyonların İBK olgularının bir bölümünden sorumlu olduğu gösterilmiştir. Bu nedenle, bu çalışmada, İBK olgularının etiyolojisini açıklayabilmek amacıyla söz konusu hasta grubunda SHOX genindeki mutasyon varlığıaraştırılmıştır.YÖNTEMLER: Pamukkale Üniversitesi Hastaneleri Pediatrik Endokrinoloji Bilim Dalı’na başvuran ve tüm tetkikleri yapılarak İBK tanısıalmışolan 25 adet olgu çalışmaya dâhil edilmiştir. Periferik kan örneklerinden DNA izolasyonu sonrasında SHOXgeni 2-6. ekzonları, özgül primerler kullanılarak polimeraz zincir reaksiyonu ile çoğaltılmıştır. Bu ekzonlardaki mutasyon varlığıDNA dizi analizi ile araştırılmıştır.BULGULAR: Çalışmaya katılan olgularda mutasyon saptanmamıştır. Çalışılan gen bölgesinde heterozigot SNP Single Nucleotide Polymorphism bulunmamasınedeniyle ise SHOX geninde delesyon varlığı değerlendirilememiştir.SONUÇ: İBK tanılıolgularda mutasyonun yanısıra SHOXgen delesyonlarının FISH ya da MLPA yöntemleri ile değerlendirilmesi uygun olacaktır. Ayrıca SHOXgeninde herhangi bir defekt saptanmayan bireylerde ise boy kısalığından sorumlu olabilecek diğer genlerin araştırılmasının, hem büyümede etkili genetik faktörlerin aydınlatılmasına hem de genotip-fenotip korelasyonu ile tedaviye yanıt arasındaki ilişki ile ilgili diğer çalışmalara katkısağlayabileceği düşünülmektedir., OBJECTIVE: Short stature, which can be seen in childhood very commonly with a rate of 2%, has a medical and social importance. Idiopathic short stature is defined as the body height of an individual - without dysmorphic, systemic, endocrinological, nutritional and chromosomal abnormalities, but with normal levels of growth hormone- to be 2 SD lower than the mean height calculated in a particular population of the same age and sex. Various mutations in specific genes have been identified in some patients with ISS. One of these genes is SHOX gene, located in the X and Y chromosome’s p arm, 700 kb distal of the pseudoautosomal region (PAR1). Mutations in this gene have been shown to be responsible for ISS cases for some part.Therefore, in this study the presence of these mutations in SHOX gene was investigated in order to explain the etiology of ISS patients.METHODS: Twenty-five patients who were admitted to Pamukkale University Hospital Division of Pediatric Endocrinology and diagnosed with ISS have been included in this study. Right after DNA isolation from peripheral blood samples, 2-6 exons of the SHOX gene were amplified by Polymerase Chain Reaction using specific primers. Presence of mutation in these exons was investigated by DNA sequence analysis.RESULTS: Mutation was not detected in patients included in this study. Because of the fact that heterozygous Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms was not found in the analyzed gene region, the presence of gene deletion in SHOX could not be evaluated.CONCLUSION: It would be appropriate to analyze SHOX gene deletions by FISH or MLPA methods together with mutation analysis in patients diagnosed with ISS. In addition, it has been thought that individuals having no SHOX gene defects should be investigated for the other genes that may be responsible for short stature, and this may enlighten the genetic factors effective in body growth, also will contribute to other studies about the relationship between the elucidation of genotype-phenotype correlation and response to treatment..

Penile length, penile diameter and testicular volume at birth reflect the activity and normality of the hypothalamus-pituitary-testicular axis. In this prospective longitudinal study, we aimed to measure penis and testicular size in healthy newborns at birth and 6 and 12 months of age. Seven hundred forty-six term healthy male newborns were enrolled in the study. According to measurements taken within 48 hours after birth, mean penile length (MPL) was 2.81 +/- 0.32 cm, mean penile diameter (MPD) 1.04 +/- 0.09 cm, right testicular volume (TV) 1.73 +/- 0.45 ml, and left TV 1.64 +/- 0.48 ml. At 6 months of age, MPL was 3.67 +/- 0.35 cm, MPD 1.23 +/- 0.08 cm, right TV 2.07 +/- 0.31 ml, and left TV 2.00 +/- 0.27 ml. At 12 months of age, MPL was 4.47 +/- 0.43 cm, MPD 1.25 +/- 0.09 cm, right TV 2.01 +/- 0.12 ml, and left TV 2.01 +/- 0.13 ml. There was a weak albeit statistically significant correlation between weight, length and PL at birth. In conclusion, the MPL of newborns was shorter than that reported in the published data from other populations. This situation may be related to ethnicity in addition to the lower birth weight and length of our subjects when compared to the newborns in other populations. We observed a significant increase, more marked during the first six months, in MPL, MPD and TV, which can be explained by the hormonal mechanism during minipuberty.

Semiz S, Kurt F, Kurt DT, Zencir M, Sevinc O. Factors affecting onset of puberty in Denizli province in Turkey. Turk J Pediatr 2009; 51: 49-55. The relationship between the possible factors affecting pubertal onset and pubertal timing was investigated in the Denizli province in Turkey. A total number of 3311 subjects (1562 girls, 1749 boys) aged 6-16.5 years participated in this study. Body mass index (BMI) was calculated. Pubertal stages were assessed according to methods of Marshall and Tanner. Testicular volume was determined using Prader orchidometer. Menarcheal age was recorded. All parents and students completed different questionnaires on demographic variables affecting pubertal timing such as socioeconomic conditions, psychosocial factors, exercise, nutritional status, chronic diseases, migration and birth weight. Using distribution percentiles of pubertal stages according to age, the relation between pubertal timing and factors affecting puberty. was investigated. There was no significant association between exercise, birth weight, migration, chronic disease, and socioeconomic status and age of puberty onset. Menarcheal age of overweight and obese girls was significantly lower than that of girls with normal weight. In-family stress was the cause of early puberty in girls and of delayed puberty in boys.

Psödohipoaldosteronizm ,Pseudohypoaldosteronism - Abstract
Giriş: Psödohipoaldosteronizm, aldosterona periferik direnç sonucu gelişen ve tuz kaybı ile karakterize bir hastalıktır. Olgu Sunumu: Emmede azalma, emerken uyuklama şikayetiyle getirilen hastada hiponatremi, hiperkalemi, metabolik asidoz, yüksek renin ve aldosteron düzeyi saptandı. Olguya sistemik form psödohipoaldosteronizm tanısı konuldu. Oral tuz ile tedavisine devam edildi. Tartışma: Psödohipoaldosteronizm primer, sekonder ve Gordon sendromu olarak üç tiptir. Primer form epitelyal sodyum kanalı ve mineralokortikoid reseptör genindeki mutasyondan, sekonder form sıklıkla üriner malformasyon ve idrar yolu enfeksiyonlarından kaynaklanır. Gordon sendromunda ise plazma aldosteron düzeyi genellikle normal olup, mineralokortikoidlere yeterli cevap vardır ve plazma renin aktivitesi baskılanmıştır. Olgumuzda üriner enfeksiyon saptanması nedeniyle aynı zamanda sekonder psödohipoaldosteronizm olasılı¤ı araştırıldı. Ter testinin pozitif olması ve tuz ihtiyacının uzun süre devam etmesi nedeniyle hasta sistemik form primer psödohipoaldosteronizm olarak kabul edildi. Introduction: Pseudohypoaldosteronism is a disease which occurs as a result of peripheral resistance to aldosterone and is characterised by salt wasting. Case Report: Hyponatremia, hyperkalemia, metabolic acidosis, high renin and aldosterone levels were determined in the patient admitted with decrease in sucking and getting sleepy during breast-feeding. The case was diagnosed as systemic form of pseudohypoaldosteronism. His treatment was continued with oral salt. Conclusion: Pseudohypoaldosteronism has three types as primary, secondary and Gordon syndrome. Primary form is due to epithelial sodium channel and mineralocorticoid receptor gene mutation, whilst secondary form is frequently caused by urinary malformation and urinary tract infections. In Gordon syndrome, plasma aldosterone level is usuallly normal, and plasma renin activity is depressed, there is an adequate response to mineralocorticoids. Probability of secondary pseudohypoaldosteronism was investigated at the same time because of the urinary infection present in our subject. The patient was accepted as systemic form of primary pseudohypoaldosteronism because of positive sweat test result and prolonged salt necessity.

Stridor, büyük hava yollarının kısmi tıkanıklığı sonucu ortaya çıkan bir bulgudur. Süt çocuklarında stridorun nadir bir nedeni de konjenital subglottik laringeal hemanjiyomdur. Hastalık, özellikle infant dönemde ortaya çıkan dispne, tekrarlayan obstrüktif bronşit, laringeal stridor ve tedaviye cevap vermeyen pnömoni ile karakterizedir. Benign bir durum olmasına rağmen hızla büyüyerek ciddi solunum sıkıntısına neden olup ölümcül seyredebilmektedir. Direkt laringoskopi ile tanı konulabilen bu lezyonun tanı ve ayrıcı tanısında bilgisayarlı tomografi ve manyetik rezonans görüntüleme yöntemleri kullanılabilmektedir. Lokal ya da sistemik steroid, lazer ile ablasyon ve cerrahi tedavi seçenekleri arasındadır. Burada, solunum sıkıntısı ile başvuran ve tedaviye yanıt vermeyen, takibinde konjenital subglottik hemanjiyom tanısı alan bir infant olgu sunulmaktadır., Stridor results from partially obstructed airways. A rare cause of stridor in infants is congenital subglottic hemangioma. It is characterized by dyspnea, recurrent obstructive bronchitis, laryngeal stridor and pneumonia unresponsive to treatment. Despite a benign condition, it may grow further and cause serious respiratory distress and death. Direct laryngoscopy establishes the diagnosis. Computerized tomography and magnetic resonance imaging may be used in the differential diagnosis of the lesion. Local or systemic steroids, laser ablation or surgery are the choices of treatment. An infant presenting with respiratory distress, unresponsive to therapy, diagnosed as congenital subglottic hemangioma is presented in this article

- Abstract
Son 20 yılda tüm dünyada obezite sıklığında artış gözlenmektedir. Çocuk ve adölesan döneminde başlayan obezitenin ileri yaşlarda da devam edebileceği bilinmektedir. Bu nedenle erken dönemde bu olguların saptanması ve gerekli tedavi yaklaşımlarında bulunulması gerekmektedir. Bu amaçla Denizli ili merkezinde 6-15 yaş grubu çocuklarda obezite sıklığını araştırmayı planladık. Denizli merkezinde devlet ilköğretim okullarına devam eden 6-15 yaş grubu 850 çocuk, tabakalı küme örnekleme yöntemi ile seçilerek çalışmaya alındı. Çalışma ilin sosyo-kültürel ve ekonomik yapısını en iyi yansıtacak şekilde üç farklı okulda gerçekleştirildi. Olguların boy ve kilo ölçümleri yapıldı. Bu ölçümler kullanılarak vücut kitle indeksi (VKİ), boya göre ağırlık yüzdesi (%RA) hesaplandı. Olguların VKİ değerleri, yaş ve cinse göre hazırlanmış Cole’ün obezite ve “overweight” (fazla tartı) referans düzeyleri ile karşılaştırıldı. Boya göre ağırlık yüzdesi, çocuğun kilosunun boyuna uyan ideal kiloya oranının yüzdesi olarak değerlendirildi. Elde edilen değer %110-119 arasında olduğunda fazla tartılı, % 120 ve üzerinde olduğunda obezite olarak kabul edildi. Olguların %1,4’ünde (9 erkek, 3 kız) obezite, %11,6’sında (51 erkek, 48 kız) fazla tartı saptandı. Obezite saptanan olguların 9 (%75)’u pubertal, fazla tartı saptanan olguların 53 (%53,5)’ü pubertal dönemdeydi. Obezite saptanan olguların 9 (%75)’u, fazla tartılı olguların 49 (%49,9)’u sosyoekonomik düzeyi daha yüksek olan grubu temsil eden okulda saptandı. Yurdumuzda yapılan diğer çalışmalar ile karşılaştırıldığında, çalışmamızda obezite sıklığı daha düşük oranda bulundu. Çalışma devlet okullarında gerçekleştirildi ve obez çocukların büyük bir bölümü sosyoekonomik durumu daha iyi olan aile çocuklarının devam ettiği okulda saptandı. Sosyoekonomik düzeyi yüksek olan okulda, obezitenin daha fazla oranda gözlenmesi, toplumumuzda obezite gelişiminde çevresel faktörlerin genetik faktörlerden daha etkin olduğunu göstermektedir. Toplum sağlığını ilgilendiren bu konuda gerekli önlemlerin alınmasını önermekteyiz. (Pamukkale Tıp Dergisi, 2008;1:1-4)., In the last 20 years the increasing frequency of obesity is observed worldwide. It is understood thatobesity among children and adolescents can persist into adulthood. Therefore, these subjects shouldbe diagnosed earlier and should be treated as indicated. For this purpose we planned to investigate theprevalence of obesity in children 6-15 years old in Denizli.Eight hundred and fifty children between 6-15 years of age (389 girls, 461 boys, mean age 10.7±2.3years) in Denizli were enrolled in the study. This study was performed in three different schools whichreflected the best the socioeconomical and cultural status of the city. Children’s heights and weightswere measured. These measures were used to calculate body mass index (BMI) and relative weightpercentage (RW%). BMI was compared with Cole’s obesity and overweight reference levels, whichwere prepared for age and sex. RW% was evaluated as the percentage of child’s weight to appropriateweight for height. The obtained values were defined as overweight for the values between 110-119percentile, as obese for the values >120 percentile.The prevalance of obesity was 1.4% (n=12, 9 M, 3 F) and of overweight was 11.6% (n=99, 51 M, 48 F).Nine (75%) of obese subjects and fiftythree (53.5%) of overweight subjects were in pubertal period.Nine (75%) of obese subjects and fortynine (49.9%) of overweight subjects were at school whichrepresented the group with a higher degree of socioeconomic status.Compared with the other studies performed in our country, the prevalance of obesity was lower in thisstudy. This study was performed in governpublic schools and the major part of the obese children werein school of which the students have families with high socioeconomic status. The high obesity rate inschools with high socioeconomic status suggests that environmental factors are more effective thangenetic factors on the development of obesity in our community. We suggest the necessary measuresshould be taken for this problem which interests the public health.

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the clinical significance of body fat distribution in childhood obesity, we investigated the associations of subcutaneous and intraabdominal (preperitoneal and visceral) fat, estimated by ultrasonography, with metabolic risk factors. SUBJECTS: Fifty-one obese (age 11.5+/- 2.6 years) and 33 non-obese (age 12.2+/- 2.7 years) children. STUDY DESIGN: Case control study. METHODS: Ultrasonographic measurements of fat thickness [maximum and minimum preperitoneal fat thicknesses (Pmax, Pmin), maximum and minimum subcutaneous fat thicknesses (Smax, Smin), visceral fat thickness (V), triceps (Tr) and subscapular (Ss) skin fold thicknesses] were documented. Blood pressures, lipid profiles, fasting insulin levels, glucose/insulin ratio and HOMA IR (homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance) were evaluated in both groups and these parameters were correlated with body fat distribution. RESULTS: In the obese group, fasting insulin level was correlated to Smin, Smax, and Pmin. HOMA, accordingly, was also correlated to Smin, Smax, and Pmin. Fasting insulin level and HOMA showed no correlation with either Pmax or visceral fat thickness. ANALYSIS: Abdominal subcutaneous fat thickness measurements were the best predictors of hyperinsulinemia (R2: 0.32). CONCLUSION: We did not observe a significant correlation between blood pressure, lipid parameters and body fat distribution in obese group. Abdominal subcutaneous fat thickness might be a better predictor of the risk for hyperinsulinemia in childhood obesity.

Objectives: We determined the frequency of metabolic risk factors and the prevalence of Metabolic Syndrome in childhood obesity. Subjects: 186 obese children (97 females and 89 males), aged 11.2 ± 2.8 (6-16) years and 98 healthy children (46 females and 52 males), aged 10.9 ± 3.2 (6-16) years were recruited for the study, as study and control groups, respectively. Methods: Subjects were evaluated for anthropometry, blood pressure (BP) and biochemical cardiovascular risk factors. Metabolic syndrome was defined in presence of ≥ 3 of the following: (i) fasting triglyceride ≥ 100 mg/dL; (ii) high density lipoprotein - cholesterol < 50 mg/dL, except in boys aged 15 to 19 years, in whom the cut-off point was 45 mg/dL; (iii) fasting glucose ≥ 110 mg/dL; (iv) waist circumference > 75th percentile for age and gender and (v) systolic BP > 90th percentile. Results: We found that 144 (77.4%) children in the obese group had one, two or more cardiovascular risk factors. Using a pediatric definition, the prevalence of metabolic syndrome was 2.1%. In the control group, the clustering of one, two and three risk factors was very rare. Conclusion: Childhood obesity is associated with increased frequency of cardiovascular risk factors and metabolic syndrome.

- Abstract
Hyperinsulinism/hyperammonemia (HI/HA) syndrome is a rare disorder presented with recurrent hypoglycemia and elevated serum ammonia, which may lead to development delays, permanent neurologic damages, if it remains underdiagnosed. It is caused by activating mutations in the GLUD1 gene which encodes the intra-mitochondrial enzyme glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH). HI/HA syndrome is considered the second most common form of hyperinsulinism (HI), and usually associated with epileptic seizures, mental retardation and generalized dystonia. We reported a patient who was diagnosed as HI/HA with multiple episodes of seizures; and previously had been diagnosed and treated for epilepsy. She has heterozygous mutation in GLUD1 gene. Treatment with diazoxide enabled complete resolution of the seizures. One year later, when her brother was six months old, he was also diagnosed with HI/HA. Later, the same mutation of GLUD1 was detected in both her father and brother too. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

ÖZET IDDM ' lu hastalarda renal tutulumun erken belirlenmesinde önemi olan mikroalbüminüri, P2MG ve proksimal tubuler bir enzim olan P-NAG gibi proteinlerin üriner atılımlarını ve RFR kapasitesini değerlendirmek ; ayrıca mikroalbüminüri, tubuler proteinüri ve RFR' in metabolik kontrol ve hastalık süresi ile ilişkilerini araştırmak amacı ile IDDM tanısı ile takip edilen 15 hasta ve kontrol grubu olarak, yaş uyumlu 10 sağlıklı olgu çalışmaya alındı. Tüm olgulara RFR testi uygulandı. Test başlangıcında ve protein yüklemesi sonrası pik üriner albümin,p2 MG,p-NAG düzeyleri belirlendi. Hasta grubunun test sırasındaki ortalama Hb A/ c düzeyi % 1 1.95± 2.95,açlık kan şekeri ortalaması 270.27±102.30 idi. Maksimum % GFR artışı ortalaması hastalarda 52.30±16.I4, kontrollerde 61.95±8.77 olarak bulundu. Hasta grubunda maksimum % GFR artışı istatistiksel olarak anlamlı düzeyde düşüktü (p0.05). Ancak, bazal üriner p-NAG düzeyleri ortalaması 9.46±4.89 ile pik üriner P-NAG düzeyleri ortalaması 5.85±2.96 karşılaştırıldığında, anlamlı azalma olduğu gözlendi (p0.05). Her iki grubun üriner albümin, p2 MG, p-NAG bazal ve pik değerleri arasmda fark yoktu (p>0.05). Hastalık süreleri ve Hb Atc ile, üriner albümin, P2MG, p-NAG, RFR arasmda istatistiksel ilişki gözlenmedi (p>0.05). Her iki grup arasmda üriner albümin,P2 MG,p~NAG değerleri açısından anlamlı farklılık gözlenmeksizın, RFR ' in hasta grubunda kontrollerden daha düşük bulunması, bu testin duyarlılığının oldukça yüksek olduğunu düşündürmektedir. Bunun yanında, metabolik kontrolü kötü olan hastalarda RFR'in daha düşük olacağı gerçeği de unutulmamalıdır. 61 71

- Abstract
Introduction: The hippocampus is an important region of the brain that regulates cognitive and emotional functions. In this study, we examined the impact of perinatal administration of testosterone propionate (TP) on the number of pyramidal neurons in the CA1 and CA3 regions of the hippocampi of female rats.Methods: Five groups of rats were used in this study. Three groups of female rats were administered TP in either both the prenatal and the postnatal periods (Group 1), only the prenatal period (Group 2) or only the postnatal period (Group 3). The other two groups of rats included control females (Group 4) and control males (Group 5). The rats were sacrificed on postnatal Day 120 and their brains were analysed for hippocampal pyramidal neuron number using stereological methods.Results: Control male rats (Group 5; p = 0.043) and TP-treated female rats in Groups 1 (p = 0.012) and 2 (p = 0.037), but not Group 3 (p > 0.05), had a significantly higher number of pyramidal neurons than control female rats (Group 4). The rats in Group 1 had the highest number of pyramidal neurons among the female rats.Conclusion: Perinatal TP treatment has an augmenting effect on the number of pyramidal neurons in the hippocampi of female rats. We also found gender-based differences in the hippocampi of male and female rats, with a higher number of pyramidal neurons seen in male rats. Continuous TP administration during the prenatal and postnatal periods is more effective than administration only in the prenatal or postnatal period. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

THALASSEMIA ,PUBERTY ,MENSTRUATION ,PRIMARY amenorrhea ,HORMONE therapy - Abstract
Objective. To investigate pubertal and menstrual problems and evaluate pelvic sonographic findings in patients with β-thalassaemia major. Material and Methods. Twenty-five female patients followed for thalassaemia major constituted the study population. Sexual maturation and hormonal status were assessed. Pubertal and menstrual problems were investigated. Results. There was one patient with delayed puberty and five patients with arrested puberty. Mean ferritin level in this group of patients was slightly but not significantly higher than patients with normal pubertal maturation (2620 ± 994 ng/ml vs. 2409 ± 1348 ng/ml, p > 0.05). There were 10 patients with primary amenorrhoea, three with secondary amenorrhoea, five with oligomenorrhoea and irregular menstruation and one with regular menstruation. Compared to menstruating patients, the mean uterine size was smaller (4.1 ± 3.5 cm
3 vs. 52.8 ± 14.5 cm3 ) in all patients with delayed and arrested puberty ( p < 0.05). Ten patients were taking hormone replacement therapy (HRT). The mean uterine size in these patients was larger than that in patients with amenorrhoea who were not taking HRT, but smaller than that in menstruating patients (9.1 ± 15.9 cm3 , 2.7 ± 1.3 cm3 and 52.8 ± 14.5 cm3 , respectively) ( p < 0.05). Conclusion. Thalassaemia major has important side effects on the hypothaloma-pituitary-gonadal axis resulting in pubertal and menstrual abnormalities. HRT should be given to provide normal sexual maturation in these patients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

- Abstract
The article discusses a study which investigated the pubertal development of Turkish school children. It is important to assess the onset and progression of sexual maturation because this has immediate clinical application in the interpretation of endocrine and growth status. The timing and progression of puberty are affected by secular trends, genetic factors and nutritional status. Results showed that the mean age at menarche was 12.41 years and menarcheal age was earlier in overweight and obese children. The authors concluded that girls started pubertal development earlier than in other populations.

Introduction: Pseudohypoaldosteronism is a disease which occurs as a result of peripheral resistance to aldosterone and is characterised by salt wasting. Case Report: Hyponatremia, hyperkalemia, metabolic acidosis, high renin and aldosterone levels were determined in the patient admitted with decrease in sucking and getting sleepy during breast-feeding. The case was diagnosed as systemic form of pseudohypoaldosteronism. His treatment was continued with oral salt. Conclusion: Pseudohypoaldosteronism has three types as primary, secondary and Gordon syndrome. Primary form is due to epithelial sodium channel and mineralocorticoid receptor gene mutation, whilst secondary form is frequently caused by urinary malformation and urinary tract infections. In Gordon syndrome, plasma aldosterone level is usuallly normal, and plasma renin activity is depressed, there is an adequate response to mineralocorticoids. Probability of secondary pseudohypoaldosteronism was investigated at the same time because of the urinary infection present in our subject. The patient was accepted as systemic form of primary pseudohypoaldosteronism because of positive sweat test result and prolonged salt necessity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Olgu Sunumu: Emmede azalma, emerken uyuklama şikayetiyle getirilen hastada hiponatremi, hiperkalemi, metabolik asidoz, yüksek renin ve aldosteron düzeyi saptandı. Olguyasistemik form psödohipoaldosteronizm tanısı konuldu. Oral tuz ile tedavisine devam edildi.Tartışma: Psödohipoaldosteronizm primer, sekonder ve Gordon sendromu olarak üç tiptir. Primer form epitelyal sodyum kanalı ve mineralokortikoid reseptör genindeki mutasyondan, sekonder form sıklıkla üriner malformasyon ve idrar yolu enfeksiyonlarındankaynaklanır. Gordon sendromunda ise plazma aldosteron düzeyi genellikle normal olup,mineralokortikoidlere yeterli cevap vardır ve plazma renin aktivitesi baskılanmıştır. Olgumuzda üriner enfeksiyon saptanması nedeniyle aynı zamanda sekonder psödohipoaldosteronizm olasılığı araştırıldı. Ter testinin pozitif olması ve tuz ihtiyacının uzun süre devam etmesi nedeniyle hasta sistemik form primer psödohipoaldosteronizm olarak kabul edildi

OSTEOGENESIS imperfecta , *GENETIC disorders , *DIAGNOSIS , *RADIOLOGY , *PHYSICAL therapy , *ORTHOPEDIC surgery - Abstract
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a genetic disorder that characterized by low bone mass and increased bone fragility. The prevalence of OI is estimated as 1 in 20 000 births. In the majority of cases, diagnosis of OI is easy on the basis of clinical and radiological findings. Physiotherapy, rehabilitation, and orthopaedic sugery are the mainstay of treatment for patients with OI. In this report, we present a newborn who was diagnosed as OI which is a rare disorder in childhood with clinical and laboratory findings such as triangular face, dark sklera and multiple fractures, bone deformities, hyperplastic callus formation on x-rays on postnatal first day of life, to discuss new treatment methods and recent literature.
