Purpose: The objective of this study was to determine the type differences of diabetes by analyzing the growth status and body composition of newly diagnosed diabetic adolescent girls. Methods: The study included 6 type 1 diabetic adolescent girls (age 11.7 ± 1.9 years) and 6 type 2 diabetic adole- scent girls (age 14.4 ± 2.6 years). The height, weight and body composition of fat mass and fat-free mass were measured in each patient. Body mass index (BMI), fat mass index (FMI), fat free mass index (FFMI) and percent body fat (PBF) were calculated and each component was plotted on a body composition chart. Results: Type 2 diabetic adolescent girls seemed to be taller and heavier compared to type 1 diabetic girls, but the differences in height and weight z-score were not significant. BMI, FFMI, FMI, PBF were also higher in type 2 diabetic girls. The body composition chart revealed that type 2 diabetic girls had significantly higher FMI and PBF. In type 1 diabetic girls, FFMI was lower compared to type 2 diabetic girls. The BMI difference between diabetes types was explained with the difference in FFMI as well as FMI. Conclusion: The components of body composition differ according to diabetes type in adolescent girls. Measuring the body composition of diabetic girls might help to promote growth and adequate FFM gain during childhood. In diabetes control, diet and exercise should be emphasized along with insulin treatment.

Thyrotoxic periodic paralysis (TPP) is a rare complication of hyperthyroidism characterized by recurrent paralysis of skeletal muscle and hypokalemia caused by a massive intracellular shift of potassium. TPP mainly affects young male patients of Asian descent. We describe a case of TPP in a 14-year-old girl who presented with palpitation and intermittent weakness of the lower extremities especially after physical exercises. The patient showed sinus tachycardia, proximal weakness of both legs and a severe hypokalemia. Thyroid function tests showed hyperthy- roidism, and thyroid scan revealed diffusely enlarged goiter consistent with Graves' disease. After the management with antithyroid drug, beta-adrenergic blocker and potassium supplementation for TPP, she has remained euthyroid state and symptom free on the follow-up. TPP should be considered in children with acute paralysis of skeletal muscle and hypokalemia, also thyroid function should be evaluated.

Hypomagnesemia may arise from various disorders such as renal magnesium wasting, familial hypomagnesemia, inadequate intake and increased gastrointestinal loss. Hypomagnesemia and hypocalcemia were found in a month- old female patient with generalized tonic-clonic seizure. Twenty-four hour urine collection samples were used to assess renal magnesium wasting; fractional excretion of 24-hr urine magnesium was less than 1.45%, i.e., within the normal limits. The patient had no history of chronic diarrhea or failure to thrive, which supports the conclusion that intake was adequate. She had no family history of hypocalcemia, hypomagnesemia, or seizures. Here, we report a case of idiopathic hypomagnesemia.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of pamidronate therapy in children and adolescents with secondary osteoporosis. Methods: Nine patients (7 males, 2 females, 13.2 ± 2.5 years, 10.1-17.4 years) with secondary osteoporosis who had a history of severe bone pain and/or fracture were enrolled. Intravenous pamidronate 1.5 mg/kg (0.5 mg/kg for 3 consecutive days) was given every 6 to 8 weeks for 0.86 ± 0.15 years (6 or 8 cycles). Bone mineral density (BMD) in lumbar spine and femoral neck and their Z-scores were measured before treatment, after the fourth and last cycle (sixth or eighth cycle). Results: Underlying diseases were as follows; neurofibromatosis type 1 (n = 2), epilepsy with/without cerebral palsy (N=2), autoimmune disease treated with steroid (n = 2), hematologic malignancy (n = 3). Bone pain was relieved in most of the patients after the first cycle of treatment, and no more fracture occurred thereafter. There was a significant increase in BMD Z-score of the lumbar spine and femoral neck after the last cycle of therapy, compared to baseline values (from -3.91 ± 1.79 to 1.86 ± 1.18, in L1-4 and -3.71 ± 1.83 to -2.53 ± 1.77 for femoral neck; P = 0.008 and 0.011, respectively). However, there was no significant change in BMD Z-scores between the fourth cycle and the last cycle. Fever developed in 7 out of 9 patients (77.8%), which was relieved by antipyretics. Total serum levels of calcium and phosphorus were significantly decreased (calcium, P = 0.008; phosphorus, P = 0.015) after pamidronate therapy, and three of them experienced symptomatic hypocalcemia during the first cycle. The growth velocity was normal during follow-up periods (mean, 4.47 ± 1.69 years; range, 1.05 to 6.77 years). Conclusion: In conclusion, pamidronate can be administered to the patients with secondary osteoporosis, relieving the symptoms and signs effectively and safely. However, its side effects should be monitored during treatment.

Methods: Nine patients (7 males, 2 females, 13.2 ± 2.5 years, 10.1-17.4 years) with secondary osteoporosis who had a history of severe bone pain and/or fracture were enrolled. Intravenous pamidronate 1.5 mg/kg (0.5 mg/kg for 3 consecutive days) was given every 6 to 8 weeks for 0.86 ± 0.15 years (6 or 8 cycles). Bone mineral density (BMD) in lumbar spine and femoral neck and their Z-scores were measured before treatment, after the fourth and last cycle (sixth or eighth cycle). Results: Underlying diseases were as follows; neurofibromatosis type 1 (n = 2), epilepsy with/without cerebral palsy (N=2), autoimmune disease treated with steroid (n = 2), hematologic malignancy (n = 3). Bone pain was relieved in most of the patients after the first cycle of treatment, and no more fracture occurred thereafter. There was a significant increase in BMD Z-score of the lumbar spine and femoral neck after the last cycle of therapy, compared to baseline values (from -3.91 ± 1.79 to 1.86 ± 1.18, in L1-4 and -3.71 ± 1.83 to -2.53 ± 1.77 for femoral neck; P = 0.008 and 0.011, respectively). However, there was no significant change in BMD Z-scores between the fourth cycle and the last cycle. Fever developed in 7 out of 9 patients (77.8%), which was relieved by antipyretics. Total serum levels of calcium and phosphorus were significantly decreased (calcium, P = 0.008; phosphorus, P = 0.015) after pamidronate therapy, and three of them experienced symptomatic hypocalcemia during the first cycle. The growth velocity was normal during follow-up periods (mean, 4.47 ± 1.69 years; range, 1.05 to 6.77 years). Conclusion: In conclusion, pamidronate can be administered to the patients with secondary osteoporosis, relieving the symptoms and signs effectively and safely. However, its side effects should be monitored during treatment.","PeriodicalId":346664,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Korean Society of Pediatric Endocrinology","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131054926","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Pituitary enlargement secondary to primary hypothyroidism is a known but uncommon occurrence and is difficult to distinguish on computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) from primary pituitary tumor. The lack of thyroxine feedback found in uncontrolled primary hypothyroidism leads to elevated levels of thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH), which causes both pituitary thyrotroph and lactotroph hyperplasia, increasing the secretion of both thyroidstimulating hormone (TSH) and prolactin. With long-standing hypothyroidism, thyrotroph hyperplasia can result in expansion of the sella turcica and enlargement of the pituitary gland. Pituitary hyperplasia usually regresses following adequate treatment with hormone replacement over a period of a few months. We herein report a case of pituitary hyperplasia associated with hypothyroidism in a short statured female adolescent without the typical clinical features associated with hypothy-
