GnRHa治疗女性中枢性性早熟疗效及不良反应观察

目的观察促性腺激素释放激素类似物(GnRHa)治疗特发性中枢性性早熟对改善患者终身高的确切疗效,探讨GnRHa治疗的不良反应。方法23例女性特发性中枢性性早熟(ICPP)终止GnRHa治疗后随访(45.0±14.2)个月,观察终身高、月经初潮时间、月经规则程度、体质指数(BMI),比较了G-P图谱、TW3和身高曲线图三种方法预测终身高的精确度。结果GnRHa治疗(24.3±13.1)个月,平均终身高为(160.3±4.2)cm,与靶身高比较,从治疗前预测身高-1.58±2.02SD增加到-0.01±1.53SD。停止治疗后(11.5±5.5)个月出现或复现月经初潮,月经周期均规则。达终身高时BMI为20.81±2.08。停止治疗时G-P图谱和TW3预测值与实际终身高比较差异无统计学意义,均明显高于曲线法的预测值。结论GnRHa治疗ICPP能有效改善终身高,经随访无不良反应。     

促性腺激素释放激素类似物联合重组人生长激素对中枢性性早熟女童身高的影响

目的 研究促性腺激素释放激素类似物（GnRHa）与重组人生长激素（rhGh）联合治疗以及GnRHa单用对骨龄≥10岁的特发性中枢性性早熟（ICPP）女童成年身高的改善情况。方法 将6个医学中心确诊为ICPP符合研究条件的80例女童（年龄9.0±0.7岁,骨龄≥10岁）根据治疗方法分为GnRHa与rhGh联合治疗组（31例）及GnRHa单用组（49例）。观察治疗前后的预测成年身高、接近成年身高和身高净获等各项指标的变化。结果 两组在治疗后按骨龄的身高标准差分值均较治疗前有显著改善（P<0.01）,其中GnRHa与rhGh联合治疗组明显优于GnRHa单用组（P<0.01）。联合用药组接近成年身高（157±6 cm vs 157±4 cm）、身高净获（4.68 cm vs 3.89 cm）、停药时预测成年身高（161±5 cm vs 158±5 cm）、接近成年身高与遗传靶身高差值等指标均略高于GnRHa单用组,但差异无统计学意义（均P >0.05）。结论 GnRHa与rhGh联合治疗或GnRHa单用组均能改善骨龄≥10岁ICCP女童的成年身高,但两药联用优势不明显。对ICPP患儿预测成年身高的评估需要慎重,停药时的预测值偏高。

基于初潮时骨龄预测女童初潮后身高剩余生长潜力的横断面调查

背景 初潮是女童进入青春发育后期的重要标志,也是身高干预的最后一个机会窗口期,且初潮受多种因素影响、个体差异很大。正确认识和掌握女童初潮后的生长规律和特点,可为临床实践中不同初潮年龄女童的终身高评估和干预决策的制定提供参考依据。目的 通过分析女童初潮时年龄、骨龄和体格发育特征,探讨初潮后预测终身高(PAH)的临床评估方法。设计 横断面调查。方法 回顾性收集2008至2018年于首都儿科研究所附属儿童医院(我院)生长发育门诊就诊、有女童月经初潮时间、体格测量数据、骨龄X片的病例。排除初潮时间与就诊时间间隔≥3个月的病例、病历诊断中有明确的影响儿童生长发育的疾病、病历诊断中有明确病因引起的继发性中枢性性早熟或外周性性早熟和既往使用过生长激素或促性腺激素释放激素抑制剂药物的病例。按事先定义的方法计算实际年龄、骨龄、身高的标准差分值(HtSDS)、PAH和预测生长潜力、骨龄HtSDS(HtSDS_BA)和女童遗传身高,3名儿童保健科医生从纸质或电子病历中按照纳入和排除标准筛选病历、提取数据和判断,单人录入至Epidata数据库。以初潮年龄每1岁为段分组,以初潮时骨龄每0.5岁为段分组。主要结局指标 初潮骨龄、PAH和预测生长潜力。结果 ① 694例女童的初潮年龄8.5~13.2(10.7±1.1)岁,初潮时骨龄12.4~12.8(12.4±0.6)岁。②初潮年龄越小的女童,骨龄提前越多,HtSDS也越高。例如,8~岁组骨龄提前(3.8±0.5)岁,HtSDS为2.6±1.3;13~岁组骨龄落后(0.7±0.7)岁,HtSDS为-1.05±0.59。骨龄校正后不同初潮年龄组的平均HtSDS_BA为-1.17~-0.68,组间差异较小。③初潮后的预测生长潜力为(7.3±2.6)cm,生长潜力仅与初潮时的骨龄高度负相关(r=-0.960,P<0.001),骨龄从11.0~岁组到13.0~岁组,平均生长潜力从12.7 cm降至4.0 cm(F=1 194.393,P<0.001)。④本研究获得PAH计算公式[0.868×身高(cm)-3.754×骨龄(岁)+73.677],拟合优度R²=0.992,据此计算预期达到不同终身高的女童初潮时身高应达到的临界值。例如,女童初潮时骨龄为12岁,PAH达到150 cm则初潮时身高应＞139.8 cm,PAH达到160 cm初潮时身高应＞151.3 cm。结论 女童初潮时骨龄相对稳定,骨龄是反映身体成熟度和预测月经来潮的可靠指标,也是预测初潮后生长潜力的关键指标。     

促性腺激素释放激素类似物治疗中枢性性早熟远期效果的系统综述

<正>自20世纪80年代以来,以曲普瑞林和亮丙瑞林为代表的促性腺激素释放激素类似物缓释剂(GnRHa)广泛应用于中枢性性早熟(CPP)的治疗,旨在抑制性发育、延缓骨骼成熟和改善最终成年身高[1,2]。目前资料证实,CPP患儿经GnRHa治疗后可获得较好的短期疗效,可有效地抑制性发育进程、延缓骨龄快速进展,并可提高治疗后的预测成人身高。但关于GnRHa的长期疗效,特别是对CPP患儿终身高、生殖功能和代谢等方面的远期影响,资料尚有限。最早开始GnRHa治疗的CPP患者目前已达终身高,部分     

下丘脑-垂体-性腺轴抑制程度对中枢性性早熟女童成年预测身高的影响

目的 研究促性腺激素释放激素类似物(GnRHa)治疗过程中下丘脑-垂体-性腺轴(HPGA)抑制程度与中枢性性早熟(CPP)女童成年预测身高(PAH)的关系,以指导临床个体化调节GnRHa 治疗剂量。方法 收集75 例CPP 女童的临床资料,记录GnRHa 治疗的不同时间点身高、骨龄(BA)、子宫卵巢容积及LH、FSH 峰值、E2 水平,计算各时间点PAH,分析PAH 改善(ΔPAH=PAH-靶身高)的情况及其与HPGA 抑制的关系,并采用阈值效应分析寻找ΔPAH 的最佳HPGA 抑制范围。结果 GnRHa 治疗后PAH 较治疗初期有明显改善。ΔPAH 与ΔBA 呈负相关;治疗24 月时ΔPAH 与LH 呈负相关。将子宫容积控制在2.3~3.0 mL 之间,LH 控制在0.8 IU/L 以下,FSH 控制在2.4 IU/L 以下对延缓BA 的增长及改善PAH 有利。结论 GnRHa 治疗能改善CPP 女童的PAH。选择合适的GnRHa 治疗剂量,将子宫容积、LH、FSH 控制在一定范围内,有利于延缓BA 及改善PAH。     

应用不同参考标准评估2010年上海市7～17岁儿童青少年高血压患病率

目的 分别应用基于年龄和性别的中国儿童青少年血压参考标准（NBPR）和基于年龄、性别和身高百分位数的儿童青少年血压参考标准(BPCH),评估上海市儿童青少年人群的高血压患病率。方法 样本人群来自上海市学生体质健康监测中心2010年的常规数据,包含7～17 岁男女生各3 300名。NBPR是我国儿童青少年基于性别和年龄的血压参考标准（2010）,BPCH是应用GAMLSS技术参考中国家庭营养健康调查1991至2009年的数据构建的基于性别、年龄和身高百分位数的儿童血压参考标准。收缩压（SBP）或舒张压（DBP）≥其性别、年龄和身高相应的P95界值定义为高血压。对两种标准下结果不一致的研究对象进行特征分析,计算身高的Z值并进行比较。结果 应用NBPR,男生、女生的高血压患病率分别为11.3%、10.0%,患病率随着年龄的增长而增长。应用BPCH,男生、女生高血压患病率分别为6.9%、6.0%,发病率在各年龄段大致稳定。187名（5.6%）男生和 190 名（5.7%）女生应用NBPR和BPCH均被诊断为高血压,42名男生（1.3%）、8名女生（0.2%）仅被BPCH诊断为高血压,其平均身高［男：（138.1±2.1） cm,女：(139.4±9.8）cm］分别低于总体样本的平均身高［男：17 cm（Z=-0.78,P<0.000 1）;女：11 cm（Z=-1.29,P=0.015 9）］。188名男生（5.7%）、141名女生（4.3%）仅被NBPR诊断为高血压,平均身高［男生：(169.0±17.6) cm,女生：(160.6±6.5) cm］分别高于总体样本的平均身高［男生：13.9 cm（Z=0.31,P<0.000 1）;女生：10.2 cm(Z=0.39, P<0.000 1)］。结论 通过对NBPR和BPCH的比较结果显示,血压标准考虑身高与否直接影响着男生4.42%和女生4.03%血压的判定,建议我国须建立与国际接轨的同时考虑性别、年龄和身高的血压参考值。     

Effects of combined gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist and growth hormone therapy on adult height in precocious puberty: a further contribution

Out of 35 girls with idiopathic central precocious puberty (CPP) treated with gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa) (depot-triptorelin) at a dose of 100 microg/kg every 21 days i.m. for at least 2-3 years whose growth velocity fell below the 25th percentile for chronological age (CA), 17 received growth hormone (GH) in addition at a dose of 0.3 mg/kg/week, s.c., 6 days per week, for 2-4 years. The other 18, matched for bone age (BA), CA and duration of GnRHa treatment, who showed the same growth pattern but refused GH treatment, remained on GnRHa alone, and were used as a control group to evaluate GH efficacy. No patient was GH deficient. Both groups discontinued treatment at a comparable BA (mean +/- SD): BA 13.4 +/- 0.6 in GnRHa plus GH group vs 13.0 +/- 0.5 years in the GnRHa alone group. The 35 patients have reached adult height (i.e. growth during the preceding year was less than 1 cm, with a BA of over 15 years). Patients of the group treated with GH plus GnRHa showed an adult height (161.2 +/- 4.8 cm) significantly higher (p < 0.001) than pre-treatment predicted adult height (PAH) calculated according to tables either for accelerated girls (153.2 +/- 5.0 cm) or for average girls (148.6 +/- 4.3 cm). The adult height of the GnRH alone treated group (156.6 +/- 5.7) was not significantly higher than pre-treatment PAH if calculated on Bayley and Pinneau tables for accelerated girls (153.9 +/- 3.8 cm), whilst it remained significantly higher if calculated on tables for average girls (149.6 +/- 4.0 cm) (p < 0.001). The gain between pre-treatment PAH and final height was 8.2 +/- 4.8 cm according to tables for accelerated girls and 12.7 +/- 4.8 cm according to tables for average girls in patients treated with GH plus GnRHa; while in patients treated with GnRH alone the gain calculated between pre-treatment PAH for accelerated girls was just 2.3 +/- 2.9 cm and 7.1 +/- 2.7 cm greater than pre-treatment PAH for average girls. The difference between the gain obtained in the two groups (about 6 cm) remained the same, however PAH was calculated. The addition of GH to GnRHa in a larger cohort of patients with CPP with a longer follow-up confirms the safety of the combined treatment and the still significant but more variable gain in the group with the combined treatment, probably due to the larger number of patients analyzed. Caution is advised in using such an invasive and expensive treatment, and there is need for further studies before widespread clinical use outside a research setting.     

Efficacy of combined treatment with growth hormone and gonadotropin releasing hormone analogue in children with poor prognosis of adult height

OBJECTIVE: This study was conducted to study the role of combination therapy of growth hormone and Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) analogues in girls with idiopathic central precocious puberty (CPP) or idiopathic short stature (ISS). METHODS: Five girls with CPP (median age 9.1 y, pubertal stage 2-3) (3 of them previously treated with GnRH analogue (GnRHa) for 16.2 +/- 0.3 months) and 8 girls with ISS (median age 11.4 y, pubertal stage 2-3) (previously treated with GH for 10.95 +/- 1.42 months), were treated with recombinant human GH (0.33 mg/kg/week) and GnRHa (3.75 mg/28 days) for 22 months. RESULTS: Height of girls with CPP improved from - 1.3 to - 0.2 SDS and height for BA from - 2.1 to - 0.6 SDS (P = 0.042). Predicted adult height (PAH) improved from - 3.1 to - 0.6 SDS (P = 0.042). In girls with ISS only PAH improved from - 3.0 to - 1.5 SDS (P = 0.025). CONCLUSION: Combined treatment improves height and PAH in CPP. Height in ISS is also improved however not significantly.     

Combined therapy with GnRH analog plus growth hormone in central precocious puberty

GnRH analogues (GnRHa) arrest pubertal development, and slow growth velocity (GV) and bone maturation, thus improving adult height in central precocious puberty (CPP). In some patients, however, GV decreases to such an extent that it compromises the improvement in predicted adult height (PAH) and therefore the addition of GH is suggested. Of 20 patients with idiopathic CPP (treated with GnRHa [depot-triptorelin] at a dose of 100 microg/kg every 21 days i.m. for at least 2-3 yr) whose GV fell below the 25th percentile for chronological age (CA), ten received, in addition to the GnRHa, GH at a dose of 0.3 mg/kg/wk, s.c. 6 days weekly, for 2-4 yr. Ten patients matched for BA, CA, and duration of GnRHa treatment who showed the same growth pattern but refused GH treatment, served to evaluate the efficacy of the addition of GH. No patient showed classical GH deficiency. Both groups discontinued treatment at a comparable BA (mean +/- SEM): 13.2 +/- 0.2 yr in GnRHa + GH vs 13.0 +/- 0.1 yr in the control group. At the conclusion of the study all the patients had achieved adult height. Adult height was considered to be attained when the growth during the preceding year was less than 1 cm, with a BA of over 15 yr. Patients of the group treated with GH + GnRHa showed an adult height significantly higher (p<0.001) than pretreatment PAH (160.6 +/- 1.3 vs 152.7 +/- 1.7 cm). Height SDS for BA significantly increased from -1.5 +/- 0.2 at start of GnRHa to -0.21 +/- 0.2 at adult height (p<0.001). Target height was significantly exceeded. The GnRH alone treated group reached an adult height not significantly higher than pretreatment PAH (157.1 +/- 2.5 vs 155.5 +/- 1.9 cm). Height SDS for BA did not change (from -1.0 +/- 0.3 at start of GnRHa to -0.7 +/- 0.4 at adult height). Target height was just reached but not significantly exceeded. The gain in centimeters obtained calculated between pretreatment PAH and final height was 7.9 +/- 1.1 cm in patients treated with GH combined with GnRH analogue while in patients treated with GnRH analogue alone the gain was just 1.6 cm +/- 1.2 (p=0.001). Furthermore, no side effects, bone age progression, or ovarian cysts, were observed in GnRHa + GH treated patients. In conclusion, a gain of 7.9 cm in adult height represents a significant improvement which justifies the addition of GH for 2-3 yr to conventional treatment with GnRH analogues in patients with central precocious puberty, and with a decrease in growth velocity so marked as to impair predicted adult height to below the third percentile.     

Use of growth hormone and gonadotropin releasing hormone agonist in addition to L-thyroxine to attain normal adult height in two patients with severe Hashimoto's thyroiditis

AIM: We report two patients with severe acquired juvenile hypothyroidism who presented with compromised predicted adult height (PAH), and the successful use of growth hormone (GH) and gonadotropin releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa) in addition to L-thyroxine to attain normal adult height. PATIENTS AND RESULTS: Patient 1: 13 year-old girl who presented with pubertal delay, short stature (height SDS -4), and marked bone age retardation (BA 8 yr). Serum T4 was undetectable and TSH level was 1,139 mIU/l. After 1 year of treatment with L-thyroxine, growth rate improved from 1.0 cm/yr to 9.8 cm/yr but puberty progressed (Tanner 3 breast) and BA accelerated by 4 years, compromising predicted adult height (PAH) (144 cm vs mid-parental target height [MTH] of 163 cm). Combined use of GH and GnRHa for one year slowed BA progression, and catch-up growth (10.4 cm/yr) continued to attain a final height (FH) of 155 cm. Patient 2: 14 year-old boy with undetectable T4, TSH of 811 mIU/l in mid-puberty with poor growth rate (1.0 cm/yr), without any bone age delay (BA 14 years) but compromised PAH (163.8 cm vs MTH 174 cm). Because of the advanced puberty and poor growth rate, treatment with GH and GnRHa was initiated. Treatment for 2 years led to improvement of growth velocity (10.6 cm/yr), slowed BA progression to attain a FH equal to MTH. CONCLUSION: Combined use of GH and GnRHa improved the FH of two patients, with Hashimoto's thyroiditis: one with pubertal and bone age delay and the other with normal onset of puberty and normal bone age.     

Gonadotrophin-Releasing Hormone Agonist Treatment of Central Precocious Puberty: an Analysis of Growth Data in a Developmental Context

ABSTRACT. Growth and skeletal maturation was assessed in 83 girls with central precocious puberty (CPP) during pituitary—gonadal suppression induced by treatment with a gonadotrophin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa). The mean pretreatment chronological age (CA) was 6.3 years and the mean bone age (BA) was 10.6 years. During the suppression of gonadal sex steroid secretion, mean height velocity (HV) decreased from a pretreatment value of 10.8 cm/year to 5.9 (year 1, n = 83), 4.9 (year 2, n = 72), 4.2 (year 3, n = 49, and 4.4 (year 4, n = 23) cm/year. During each interval, there was a negative correlation between HV and the pretreatment BA. In addition, the rate of skeletal maturation was reduced during GnRHa treatment (ΔBA/ΔCA = 0.6 ± 0.1 over 3 years, n = 45). The rate of skeletal maturation during therapy was also negatively correlated with pretreatment BA. Predicted adult stature, based upon z -scores of height for BA, increased significantly and progressively during therapy but the changes in height SDS for BA varied significantly. Since HV, ΔBA/ΔCA, and the change in height SDS for BA (ΔHT SDS for BA) during pituitary—gonadal suppression all correlated with the initial degree of skeletal maturation, the effect of GnRHa therapy on Final adult height in children with CPP will be best understood if growth data are assessed within a developmental framework.     

Final height after gonadotrophin releasing hormone agonist treatment for central precocious puberty: the Dutch experience

Final height (FH) data of 96 children (87 girls) treated with GnRH agonist for central precocious puberty were studied. In girls mean FH exceeded initial height prediction by 7.4 (5.7) cm (p < 0.001); FH was significantly lower than target height, but still in the genetic target range. When treatment started < 6 years of age, height gain was significantly higher than when started > 8 years of age. Bone age (BA) and chronological age (CA) at start of treatment, as well as BA advance at cessation of treatment, were the most important variables influencing height gain in multiple regression analysis. BA advance at start of treatment was most important in simple correlation. In girls, GnRHa treatment seems to restore FH into the target range. A younger age and advanced bone age at start of treatment are associated with more height gain from GnRHa treatment.     

Final height in girls with central precocious puberty: comparison of two different luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone agonist treatments

In order to evaluate the effects of two long-acting luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone agonists on growth, bone maturation and final height in girls with central precocious puberty, we analyzed growth data from 40 girls (15 treated with buserelin intranasal spray (group A), 15 treated with triptorelin depot im every 28 days (group B) and 10 untreated (group C)). Patients in group A started treatment when chronological age (CA) was 7.7 ± 0.9 years, bone age (BA) was 10.2 ± 1.1 years and height was 131.9 ± 5.0 cm. Patients in group B started therapy when CA was 7.6 ± 0.5 years, BA 9.8 ± 1.0 years and height 133.2 ± 7.6 m. The diagnosis of untreated patients (group C) was made when CA was 7.2 ± 0.9 years, BA 9.6 ± 2.2 years and height 130.2 ± 8.6cm. Both luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone agonists appeared to control precocious puberty. Final height in group B (160.6 ± 5.7 cm) was significantly higher than that of group A (153.2 ± 5.0 cm: p < 0.05) and group C (149.6 ± 6.3; p < 0 .01), whereas the difference between groups A and C was not statistically significant. In group B a positive difference was observed between final height (160.6 ± 5.7 cm) and target height (157.6 ± 5.9 cm) (ns); on the contrary, in groups A and C, final height was lower than target height (155.5 ± 5.3 and 156.4 ± 1.3cm, respectively), but only in group C the difference was statistically significant ( p < 0.01). The best results regarding final height obtained by slow-release depot im therapy may be associated with more stable agonist blood levels during treatment.
