A randomized, controlled study of 54 children (age, 4-16 years) with Prader-Willi syndrome was conducted to assess the potential beneficial effects of growth hormone (GH) treatment. After observation for 6 months, the children were randomized to receive GH at a dose of 3 IU/m2 /day (1 mg/m2 /day) ( n = 35) or no intervention ( n = 19). The effects of GH treatment on linear growth, body composition, muscle strength, pulmonary function and resting energy expenditure were assessed. The levels of GH secreted in resonse to clonidine stimulation were universally low, and mean (± SD) insulin-like growth factor I SDS was -1.2 ± 0.8 pretreatment. In children treated for 1 year, mean height velocity SDS significantly increased from -1.0 ± 2.5 to 4.6 ± 2.9 ( p < 0.0001), mean percentage body fat decreased from 46.3 ± 8.4% to 38.4 ± 10.7% ( p < 0.001), mean lean body mass increased from 20.5 ± 6.3 kg to 25.6 ± 4.3 kg ( p <0.01) and respiratory muscle function and physical strength imporved. Mean respiratory quotients significantly decreased from 0.81 to 0.77 ( p < 0.001); however, resting energy expenditure did not change. Therefore, GH therapy appears to reduce some of the physical disabilities experienced by children with Prader-Willi syndrome. 相似文献

AIM: We have previously shown that 1 year of growth hormone (GH) treatment to adults with Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) has beneficial effects on body composition. The aim of the present observational study was to re-evaluate our cohort, with focus on long-term GH treatment. METHODS: Seven men and seven women, median age 31 years, were available for follow-up for 6 years. Nine were on GH treatment for 5 years. Body composition was measured with Dual Energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). RESULTS: In six GH treated patients with genetically verified PWS there was a substantial increase in lean body mass of 5 kg (p = 0.031) and a concomitant, however, non-significant, decrease in body fat of 5% (p = 0.156). The changes in the genetically verified patients without GH treatment were small and unsystematic. No compliance problems were reported. Only one non-GH-treated woman developed overt diabetes. CONCLUSION: Despite inherent behavioural problems it was possible to continue GH injections for 5 years with sustained favourable effects on body composition without clinically, significant side effects. 相似文献

The authors have followed 18 prepubertal children (3-12 years of age) with Prader-Willi syndrome during 5 years of growth hormone (GH) treatment. Initially, all the children participated in a randomized, controlled GH trial, conducted to assess the effects of GH treatment on growth, body composition and behaviour. GH was administered to group A (n = 9) at a dose of 0.1 IU/kg/day (0.033 mg/kg/day) for 2 years. Group B (n = 9) was untreated for the first year, but the children were given GH at a dose of 0.2 IU/kg/day (0.066 mg/kg/day) during the second year. Thereafter, all children stopped GH treatment for 6 months and were then restarted with GH at a dose of 0.1 IU/kg/day (0.033 mg/kg/day). During the first year of GH treatment, there was a dramatic increase in height SDS in both groups. The attained height percentile was maintained during the continued GH treatment. Five years after the start of GH treatment, mean height SDS is still above average for age. Four children have reached final height, all within 2 SD of target height. During the first year of GH treatment, body mass index (BMI) SDS decreased significantly from 3.0 to 1.5 SDS in group A and from 2.8 to 1.2 SDS in group B, but it increased again during the 6-month period without treatment. Following the restart of GH treatment, BMI SDS has stabilized at 1.7 SDS for group A and 2.5 SDS for group B. In 16 of 18 patients, fasting insulin, glucose and the A1c fraction of glycosylated haemoglobin remained within normal ranges during 5 years of GH treatment. Following a period of rapid weight gain, two children have developed non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. Glucose homeostasis returned to normal when GH treatment was withdrawn. In conclusion, GH treatment has a proven favourable effect on growth and body composition in patients with Prader-Willi syndrome. Treatment should be individualized, and close surveillance of glucose homeostasis is needed, especially if the patient is severely obese. 相似文献

Death in two female Prader-Willi syndrome patients during the early phase of growth hormone treatment 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Reports on sudden death in Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) patients after the start of growth hormone (GH) treatment have been published recently. We observed a 4.7-y-old girl who showed a continuous increase in pulmonary artery pressure and died of cardiorespiratory failure 7 wk after GH therapy had been initiated, and a 9.3-y-old girl with additional trisomy 21 who died during a minor respiratory infection 6 mo after GH had been started. Both patients were overweight (weight for height 127% and 224%, respectively). GH-induced fluid retention may have occurred in the younger girl. In contrast to the reported cases, our PWS patients were female. CONCLUSION: Our cases illustrate the difficulty of differentiation between possible GH side effects and the natural course of disease, in particular with respect to obesity-related comorbidity and mortality. 相似文献

Cardiovascular risk factors improve during 3 years of growth hormone therapy in Prader-Willi syndrome 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Cardiovascular risk factors in Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS, OMIM 176270) may be independently caused by overweight or hypothalamic
growth hormone (GH) deficiency. The present observational study in 23 children with PWS, aged 0.3–14.6 years, focuses on the
specific pattern, age-dependency and interrelation of cardiovascular risk factors, namely percentage fat mass and regional
fat distribution, triglycerides (TG), lipoprotein cholesterols (LDL-C, HDL-C), lipoprotein (a) (Lp(a)), apolipoproteins A-I
(Apo A-I) and B (Apo B), as well as on the longer-term effects of GH therapy (ca. 0.037 mg/kg per day for 3 years on average).
We report that in children above 4 years, percentage body fat was increased in all and waist-to-hip-ratio (WHR) in 35%. Abnormal
levels of LDL-C, Apo B, HDL-C and TG were found in 6, 7, 6 and 3 children, respectively. Lp(a) was above 300 mg/l in 5 patients
and remained unchanged during GH therapy. However, percentage fat mass dropped to the upper normal range and WHR became normal
in all patients receiving GH therapy, as did the ratio of LDL-C to HDL-C, subsequent to decreasing LDL-C and increasing HDL-C.
Nevertheless, we could not find any significant correlation between parameters of total fat mass or fat distribution and serum
lipid parameters, except for abdominal fat distribution (trunk-/leg-fat ratio) to TG before therapy.
Conclusion Several cardiovascular risk factors are already present in prepubertal children with Prader-Willi-syndrome and they are improved
by growth hormone treatment, acting both on body composition and lipid metabolism.

A 13 year-old boy with Prader-Willi syndrome and steatohepatitis presented with diabetic ketoacidosis 4 weeks after the initiation of growth hormone (GH) treatment. He did not have signs or symptoms of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) before the initiation of GH treatment. Hyperglycemia resolved 2 months after discontinuation of GH. He redeveloped DM2 6 months later associated with excessive weight gain. Diabetic ketoacidosis as a rare complication of GH therapy emphasizes the importance of screening for carbohydrate intolerance before and during GH treatment in patients with Prader-Willi syndrome. Steatohepatitis may be the only manifestation of insulin resistance and warrants further evaluation. 相似文献

Growth hormone treatment of children with Prader-Willi syndrome affects linear growth and body composition favourably 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
AC Lindgren L Hagenäs J Müller S Blichfeldt M Rosenborg T Brismar EM Ritzén 《Acta paediatrica (Oslo, Norway : 1992)》1998,87(1):28-31
We have compared the growth and the body composition in children with Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) with and without growth hormone treatment (recombinant GH 0.1 IU/kg/day) after a 1-y period. Twenty-nine prepubertal children with PWS, with mean body mass index (BMI) SDS of 2.2, and 10 (control) healthy obese children with mean BMI SDS of 5.6, underwent 24-h frequent blood sampling. Both PWS and control obese children had low and similar GH levels (0.7 /ng/l ± 0.4 SD). Serum IGF-I levels, however, were significantly lower in children with PWS (-1.5 SDS ± 0.8 SD vs -0.2 SDS ±0.8 SD). The 29 PWS children were randomized into 2 groups of 15 and 14 subjects for GH treatment and no treatment, respectively. Height velocity increased from -1.9 SDS to + 6.0 SDS in the treated group ( p < 0:001) and decreased from -0.1 SDS to -1.4 SDS in the control PWS group during the study year. BMI decreased significantly for the treated group (+3.0 SDS to + 2.0 SDS). Relative fat mass decreased significantly, while fat-free mass increased ( p < 0:001) for the treated group. No significant changes were noticed in body composition in the control PWS group. In conclusion, the low spontaneous 24-h GH secretion, regardless of body weight, and the exceptional response to growth hormone treatment together with the finding of low IGF-I levels suggest that growth hormone deficiency is a common feature of PWS, as a result of hypothalamic dysfunction. Treatment with growth hormone is beneficial for the majority of PWS children. 相似文献

Several studies have now been published on the effect of one or several years of growth hormone treatment on growth and body composition of children with Prader-Willi syndrome. The majority of the patients have responded with greatly increased growth rate, decreased body fat and increased muscle volume. Many of these children seem to have a functional growth hormone deficiency, probably secondary to their hypothalamic dysfunction. Further studies are needed to establish the long-term effect of this treatment on somatic and psychological well-being. 相似文献

OBJECTIVES: To assess body composition of infants with Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) by using deuterium dilution and investigating the efficacy of early institution of growth hormone (GH) therapy in increasing lean mass (LM) and preventing massive obesity. STUDY DESIGN: One group of 11 children with PWS <2 years before and during 30-month GH therapy (GH group) was compared with 6 infants administered only coenzyme Q(10) for 1 year (Q10 group). LM adjusted for height (LM(Ht)) and relative fat mass (%FM(Age)) standard deviation scores (SDS) were calculated from data of 95 healthy children. RESULTS: Initially, LM(Ht) of all patients was below the normal average. LM(Ht) decreased by -0.46 +/- 0.3 SD (P=.03) per year in the Q10 group but rose by 0.25 +/- 0.3 SD (P=.02) per year during GH therapy, normalizing after 30 months (-0.70 +/- 1.0 SD). Despite low to normal weight for height (WfH), %FM(Age) was above the normal average (GH group, 31.0% +/- 4.5%, Q10 group, 32.4% +/- 9.5%). In the Q10 infants, %FM(Age) increased by 0.71 +/- 0.7 SD per year, whereas in the GH group, %FM(Age) remained more stable up to 30 months. CONCLUSIONS: Diminished LM(Ht) found in infants with PWS further declines during the early years. Early institution of GH therapy lifts LM(Ht) into the normal range and delays fat tissue accumulation. 相似文献

In Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) hypothalamic dysfunction is the cause of hormonal disturbances, such as growth hormone deficiency
(GHD), hypogonadism, and delayed or incomplete puberty. Only a few cases of central precocious puberty (CPP) have been reported.
We describe an 8.8-year-old PWS boy, with microdeletion of chromosome 15q, who developed CPP. On admission, height was 131.1 cm
(+0.17 SD), BMI 26.2 kg/m2, pubic hair (Ph) 2, and testis 4.5 ml. We found increased growth velocity (7 cm/year), high testosterone levels, pubertal
response to GnRH test, and advanced bone age (10.6 years). An evaluation of growth hormone (GH) secretion revealed a deficiency.
Pituitary MRI was normal. LHRH analogue therapy (Leuproreline 3.75 mg/28 days i.m.) was started at 8.9 years and discontinued
at 11.3 years, when the patient had bone age of 13 years. During therapy, growth velocity, testosterone, FSH, and LH peak
decreased significantly, with no pubertal progression. Growth hormone therapy (0.24 mg/kg/week) was started at 9.5 years and
discontinued at 15.3 years because the patient had bone age of 17 years. After interrupting LHRH therapy the patient demonstrated
spontaneous pubertal progression with pubertal gonadotropin and testosterone. At 16.3 years, height was 170 cm (−0.48 SDS),
BMI 36.3 kg/m2, Ph 4, testis volume 10 ml and there was a combined hypothalamic and peripheral hypogonadism hormonal pattern (normal LH
even with low testosterone and undetectable inhibin B with high FSH). To our knowledge this is the fourth male patient with
genetically-confirmed PWS demonstrating CPP and GHD and the first with a long follow-up to young adulthood. 相似文献
