Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effect of recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) on the growth rate, glucose and lipid metabolism and bone metabolism in children with idiopathic short stature (ISS). Methods The clinical data of 150 children with ISS admitted to the hospital from January 2010 to January 2015 were collected. The children were divided into the routine group (68 patients) and rhGH group (82 patients) according to the treatment methods. The routine group was given enhanced nutritional guidance, enhanced protein and calcium intake, and guidance for exercise. On this basis, rhGH group was additionally treated with rhGH. The intervention lasted for 12 months, and changes of height, weight, bone age (BA) and growth velocity (GV) in two groups were statistically analyzed. Changes in fasting blood glucose (FBG), insulin (INS), total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and other glucose and lipid metabolism indicators before and after treatment were detected. The insulin sensitivity index (ISI) was calculated, and changes in serum insulin-like factor 1 (IGF-1), osteocalcin (OC), bone alkaline phosphatase (BAP), typeⅠprocollagen amino-terminal propeptide (PINP), β-collagen degradation products (β-CTX) and other bone metabolism parameters before and after treatment were determined. The incidence of adverse reactions in both groups was statistically analyzed. Results There were no significant differences in height, weight, BA or GV between two groups before treatment (P>0.05). After 12 months of treatment, the above indicators in both groups were increased (P<0.05). The height, weight, BA and GV were (132.12 ± 7.26) cm, (26.21 ± 1.74) kg, (9.41 ± 0.37) years old and (10.03 ± 2.41) cm/year of the rhGH group, which were significantly higher than those of the routine group [(124.22 ± 6.31) cm, (24.13 ± 1.92) kg, (8.96 ± 0.42) years old and (5.85 ± 1.76) cm/year (P<0.05)]. There were no significant differences in glucose and lipid metabolism levels between two groups before and after treatment (P>0.05). There was no statistical difference in bone metabolism indexes between two groups before treatment (P>0.05). After 12 months of treatment, PINP, IGF-1, OC and BAP in both groups increased while β-CTX decreased (P<0.05). PINP, IGF-1, OC and BAP in rhGH group [(598.21 ± 78.57) μg/L, (301.23 ± 51.45) μg/L, (78.52 ± 12.65) μg/L, (171.26 ± 42.17) U/L] were higher than those in routine group [(520.14 ± 47.55)μg/L, (244.35 ± 46.38)μg/L, (70.25 ± 9.77) μg/L, (120.55 ± 38.42) U/L] (P<0.05), whileβ-CTX was lower than that in routine group [(0.48 ± 0.26)μg/L vs (0.63 ± 0.24) μg/L] (P<0.05). There were no significant difference in adverse reaction between two groups [3.66％(3/82) vs. 0, P>0.05]. Conclusions The rhGH treatment of children with ISS can obviously promote the growth and improve bone metabolism and growth rate of children, without significant adverse effect on their glucose and lipid metabolism and with certain safety.
