Objective To observe the final adult height (FAH) outcome and influencing factors in Turner′s Syndrome(TS) children treated with recombinant human growth hormone ( rhGH ).Methods Thirty TS children treated with rhGH were compared with 16 TS children without rhGH treatment and were followed up to achieve their FAH.Comparisons were made regarding predicted adult height (PAH),height standard deviation score for chronological age( HtSDScA ),height SDS for BA( HtSDSRA ),and growth velocity ( GV ) between rhGH treatment and without treatment groups and between the onset and by the end of rhGH treatment group.The factors determining FAH were also evaluated.Results FAH in rhGH treatment group was obviously improved as compared with untreatment group[ ( 149.5±6.3 vs 142.4±5.2) cm,P<0.01 ].FAH in treatment group was positively correlated with height standard deviation score for chronological age ( Ht0 SDSCA ),Hto SDS for BA ( Hto SDSBA ),height age ( HA0 ) at preliminary diagnosis,and correlated with duration of rhGH therapy,duration of estrogen-free rhGH therapy,and PAH0SDS at preliminary diagnosis.Stepwise regression analysis indicated that duration of estrogen-free rhGH therapy and PAH0 SDS were the variables with the greatest identified influence on FAH (F =11.56 and F =86.91,P< 0.01 ).FAH in the 45,XO group was significantly different from the mosaicism group (45,XO/46,XX ) [ ( 147.2 ± 6.3 vs 153.3±6.4) cm,P =0.038].Conclusion rhGH treatment is efficacious in improving FAH of TS children,but a variability in the magnitude of the response to rhGH is recognized.Duration of estrogen-free rhGH therapy and PAH0SDS are the variables with the greatest identified influence on FAH,and karyotype may be one of the influence factors.rhGH treatment should be initiated as early as possible and sufficient course of estrogen-free rhGH therapy is needed to yield a satisfactory FAH.

Objectives To evaluate final adult height(FAH), lipid profile, sexual development, and quality of life in individuals with childhood-onset growth hormone deficiency (CO-GHD) during the transition from childhood to adulthood, to reassess the function of GH-IGF-I axis, and to explore effective managements for different types of GHD in each period. Methods Totally 80 CO-GHD patients were divided into 2 groups; 22 patients with isolated growth hormone deficiency ( IGHD) and 58 patients with multiple pituitary hormone deficiencies (MPHD); 62 male (age ≥18 years) and 18 female ( age ≥ 16 years) patients. The clinical and biochemical parameters, education and occupation, rhGH, and other hormones therapy in the past were followed up. Results rhGH replacement improved FAH of patients with GHD. The incidences of either hyperlipidemia (39.0% , 47.4%) or fatty liver disease (26.8%, 31.6%) showed no statistically significant changes between 2 groups with and without rhGH replacement. Mean value of IGF-I SDS was significantly higher in IGHD group than that in MPHD group (-1.43±0. 31,-3. 01 ±0. 66) ,and also IGFBP3(-2. 10±0. 33,-3. 17±0. 19,all P< 0.05 ). Patients with IGHD had normal sexual development, but the incidence of sexual dysfunction accounted for 79.7% in MPHD group. Conclusions rhGH improves FAH of individuals with CO-GHD. Patients with CO-GHD should be followed during the transition period; GHD patients carry a high risk of metabolic abnormalities in the adulthood; IGHD female can give birth to offsprings; patients with MPHD have gonadotrophin deficiency of varying degrees.

PTPN11 is the most common mutation gene of RAS disease, which is located in the upstream of RAS/MAPK pathway and participates in signal transduction. Because the molecular mechanism of RAS's disease involves the same pathway, it may present a certain commonality in clinic, but the different genotypes with PTPN11 mutation may also express different phenotypes. Therefore, it is not easy to identify and diagnose this disease early in clinic. The present article aims to analyze the correlation between the clinical phenotype and genotype of 4 patients with RAS disease.

Various c-mesenchymal-to-epithelial transition (c-MET) inhibitors are effective in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer; however, the inevitable drug resistance remains a challenge, limiting their clinical efficacy. Therefore, novel strategies targeting c-MET are urgently required. Herein, through rational structure optimization, we obtained novel exceptionally potent and orally active c-MET proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACs) namely D10 and D15 based on thalidomide and tepotinib. D10 and D15 inhibited cell growth with low nanomolar IC50 values and achieved picomolar DC50 values and >99% of maximum degradation (Dmax) in EBC-1 and Hs746T cells. Mechanistically, D10 and D15 dramatically induced cell apoptosis, G1 cell cycle arrest and inhibited cell migration and invasion. Notably, intraperitoneal administration of D10 and D15 significantly inhibited tumor growth in the EBC-1 xenograft model and oral administration of D15 induced approximately complete tumor suppression in the Hs746T xenograft model with well-tolerated dose-schedules. Furthermore, D10 and D15 exerted significant anti-tumor effect in cells with c-METY1230H and c-METD1228N mutations, which are resistant to tepotinib in clinic. These findings demonstrated that D10 and D15 could serve as candidates for the treatment of tumors with MET alterations.
