Abstract
Importance The childhood obesity epidemic is presumed to drive pediatric type 2 diabetes (T2D); however, the global scale of obesity in children with T2D is unknown. Objectives To evaluate the global prevalence of obesity in pediatric T2D, examine the association of sex and race with obesity risk, and assess the association of obesity with glycemic control and dyslipidemia. Data Sources MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science were searched from database inception to June 16, 2022. Study Selection Observational studies with at least 10 participants reporting the prevalence of obesity in patients with pediatric T2D were included. Data Extraction and Synthesis Following the Meta-analysis of Observational Studies in Epidemiology reporting guideline, 2 independent reviewers in teams performed data extraction and risk of bias and level of evidence analyses. The meta-analysis was conducted using a random-effects model. Main Outcomes and Measures The primary outcomes included the pooled prevalence rates of obesity in children with T2D. The secondary outcomes assessed pooled prevalence rates by sex and race and associations between obesity and glycemic control and dyslipidemia. Results Of 57 articles included in the systematic review, 53 articles, with 8942 participants, were included in the meta-analysis. The overall prevalence of obesity among pediatric patients with T2D was 75.27% (95% CI, 70.47%-79.78%), and the prevalence of obesity at diabetes diagnosis among 4688 participants was 77.24% (95% CI, 70.55%-83.34%). While male participants had higher odds of obesity than female participants (odds ratio, 2.10; 95% CI, 1.33-3.31), Asian participants had the lowest prevalence of obesity (64.50%; 95% CI, 53.28%-74.99%), and White participants had the highest prevalence of obesity (89.86%; 95% CI, 71.50%-99.74%) compared with other racial groups. High heterogeneity across studies and varying degrees of glycemic control and dyslipidemia were noted. Conclusions and Relevance The findings of this systematic review and meta-analysis suggest that obesity is not a universal phenotype in children with T2D. Further studies are needed to consider the role of obesity and other mechanisms in diabetes genesis in this population.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION There have been some significant changes regarding healthcare utilization during the COVID-19 pandemic. Majority of the reports about the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on diabetes care are from the first wave of the pandemic. We aim to evaluate the potential effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the severity of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and new onset Type 1 diabetes presenting with DKA, and also evaluate children with DKA and acute COVID-19 infection. METHODS This is a retrospective multi-center study among 997 children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes who were admitted with DKA to 27 pediatric intensive care units in Turkey between the first year of pandemic and pre-pandemic year. RESULTS The percentage of children with new-onset Type 1 diabetes presenting with DKA was higher during the COVID-19 pandemic (p < 0.0001). The incidence of severe DKA was also higher during the COVID-19 pandemic (p < 0.0001) and also higher among children with new onset Type 1 diabetes (p < 0.0001). HbA1c levels, duration of insulin infusion, and length of PICU stay were significantly higher/longer during the pandemic period. Eleven patients tested positive for SARS-CoV-2, eight were positive for new onset Type 1 diabetes, and nine tested positive for severe DKA at admission. DISCUSSION The frequency of new onset of Type 1 diabetes and severe cases among children with DKA during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, the cause of the increased severe presentation might be related to restrictions related to the pandemic; however, need to evaluate the potential effects of SARS-CoV-2 on the increased percentage of new onset Type 1 diabetes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is known to be associated with adrenal crises (AC), its association with patient- or clinician-reported sick day episodes (SDE) is less clear. METHODS Data on children with classic 21-hydroxylase deficiency CAH from 34 centers in 18 countries, of which 7 were Low or Middle Income Countries (LMIC) and 11 were High Income (HIC), were collected from the International CAH Registry and analyzed to examine the clinical factors associated with SDE and AC. RESULTS A total of 518 children-with a median of 11 children (range 1, 53) per center-had 5388 visits evaluated over a total of 2300 patient-years. The median number of AC and SDE per patient-year per center was 0 (0, 3) and 0.4 (0.0, 13.3), respectively. Of the 1544 SDE, an AC was reported in 62 (4%), with no fatalities. Infectious illness was the most frequent precipitating event, reported in 1105 (72%) and 29 (47%) of SDE and AC, respectively. On comparing cases from LMIC and HIC, the median SDE per patient-year was 0.75 (0, 13.3) vs 0.11 (0, 12.0) (P < 0.001), respectively, and the median AC per patient-year was 0 (0, 2.2) vs 0 (0, 3.0) (P = 0.43), respectively. CONCLUSIONS The real-world data that are collected within the I-CAH Registry show wide variability in the reported occurrence of adrenal insufficiency-related adverse events. As these data become increasingly used as a clinical benchmark in CAH care, there is a need for further research to improve and standardize the definition of SDE.

Abstract
Context Vitamin D-dependent rickets type 1A (VDDR1A) is a rare autosomal recessively inherited disorder due to loss-of-function mutations in the CYP27B1 gene. CYP27B1 encodes an enzyme of 25-hydroxyvitamin D-1α-hydroxylase for converting inactive 25-OHD to biologically active 1,25-(OH)2D. Objective To identify underlying genetic defects in patients with VDDR1A. Methods Twelve patients from 7 Turkish and 2 Saudi families were investigated. The coding exons and intron-exon boundaries of the CYP27B1 gene were amplified by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) from peripheral lymphocyte DNA. PCR products were directly sequenced. The consequences of c.590G > A mutation were analyzed by in silico and functional analysis. Results CYP27B1 mutations were identified in all the patients. Two novel mutations were identified in two separate families: c.171delG (family 7) and c.398_400dupAAT (family 8). The intra-exon deletion of c.171delG resulted in a frameshift and premature stop codon 20 amino acids downstream from the mutation (p.L58Cfs∗20). The intra-exon duplication of c.398_400dupAAT generated a premature stop codon at the mutation site (p.W134∗). A missense c.590G > A (p.G197D) mutation was found in a patient from family 4 and caused a defect in pre-mRNA splicing. As a result, two populations of transcripts were detected: the majority of them with intron 3 retention (83%), and the minority (17%) being properly spliced transcripts with about 16% of wild-type enzymatic activity. The remaining nine patients from six families carried a previously reported c.1319_1325dupCCCACCC (F443Pfs∗24) mutation. Clinically, all the patients need continued calcitriol treatment, which was consistent with inactivation of 25-hydroxy vitamin D1α-hydroxylase activity. Conclusion Two novel frameshift CYP27B1 mutations were identified and predicted to inactivate 25-hydroxyvitamin D-1α-hydroxylase. The loss of enzymatic activity by c.590G > A missense mutation was mainly caused by aberrant pre-mRNA splicing.

Abstract
CONTEXT The clinical effects of classical 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 2 (3βHSD2) deficiency are insufficiently defined due to a limited number of published cases. OBJECTIVE To evaluate an integrated steroid metabolome and the short- and long-term clinical features of 3βHSD2 deficiency. DESIGN Multicenter, cross-sectional study. SETTING Nine tertiary pediatric endocrinology clinics across Turkey. PATIENTS Children with clinical diagnosis of 3βHSD2 deficiency. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Clinical manifestations, genotype-phenotype-metabolomic relations. A structured questionnaire was used to evaluate the data of patients with clinical 3βHSD2 deficiency. Genetic analysis of HSD3B2 was performed using Sanger sequencing. Novel HSD3B2 mutations were studied in vitro. Nineteen plasma adrenal steroids were measured using LC-MS/MS. RESULTS Eleven homozygous HSD3B2 mutations (6 novel) were identified in 31 children (19 male/12 female; mean age: 6.6 ± 5.1 yrs). The patients with homozygous pathogenic HSD3B2 missense variants of > 5% of wild type 3βHSD2 activity in vitro had a non-salt-losing clinical phenotype. Ambiguous genitalia was an invariable feature of all genetic males, whereas only 1 of 12 female patients presented with virilized genitalia. Premature pubarche was observed in 78% of patients. In adolescence, menstrual irregularities and polycystic ovaries in females and adrenal rest tumors and gonadal failure in males were observed. CONCLUSIONS Genetically-documented 3βHSD2 deficiency includes salt-losing and non-salt-losing clinical phenotypes. Spared mineralocorticoid function and unvirilized genitalia in females may lead to misdiagnosis and underestimation of the frequency of 3βHSD2 deficiency. High baseline 17OHPreg to cortisol ratio and low 11-oxyandrogen concentrations by LC-MS/MS unequivocally identifies patients with 3βHSD2 deficiency.

Abstract
CONTEXT No consensus exists for optimization of mineralocorticoid therapy in patients with primary adrenal insufficiency. OBJECTIVE To explore the relationship between mineralocorticoid (MC) replacement dose, plasma renin concentration (PRC), and clinically important variables to determine which are most helpful in guiding MC dose titration in primary adrenal insufficiency. DESIGN Observational, retrospective, longitudinal analysis. PATIENTS A total of 280 patients (with 984 clinical visits and plasma renin measurements) with primary adrenal insufficiency were recruited from local databases and the international congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) registry (www.i-cah.org). Thirty-seven patients were excluded from the final analysis due to incomplete assessment. Data from 204 patients with salt-wasting CAH (149 adults and 55 children) and 39 adult patients with Addison disease (AD) were analysed. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES PRC, electrolytes, blood pressure (BP), and anthropometric parameters were used to predict their utility in optimizing MC replacement dose. RESULTS PRC was low, normal, or high in 19%, 36%, and 44% of patients, respectively, with wide variability in MC dose and PRC. Univariate analysis demonstrated a direct positive relationship between MC dose and PRC in adults and children. There was no relationship between MC dose and BP in adults, while BP increased with increasing MC dose in children. Using multiple regression modeling, sodium was the only measurement that predicted PRC in adults. Longitudinally, the change in MC dose was able to predict potassium, but not BP or PRC. CONCLUSIONS The relationship between MC dose and PRC is complex and this may reflect variability in sampling with respect to posture, timing of last MC dose, adherence, and concomitant medications. Our data suggest that MC titration should not primarily be based only on PRC normalization, but also on clinical parameters such as BP and electrolyte concentration.

Abstract
BACKGROUND LPS-responsive beige-like anchor (LRBA) deficiency presents with susceptibility to infections, autoimmunity, and lymphoproliferation. The long-term efficacy of cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen 4-immunoglobulin (abatacept) as targeted therapy for its immune dysregulatory features remains to be established. OBJECTIVE To determine the clinical and immunologic features of LRBA deficiency and long-term efficacy of abatacept treatment in controlling the different disease manifestations. METHODS Twenty-two LRBA-deficient patients were recruited from different immunology centers and followed prospectively. Eighteen patients on abatacept were evaluated every 3 months for long-term clinical and immunologic responses. LRBA expression, lymphocyte subpopulations, and circulating T follicular helper cells were determined by flow cytometry. RESULTS The mean age of the patients was 13.4 ± 7.9 years, and the follow-up period was 3.4 ± 2.3 years. Recurrent infections (n = 19 [86.4%]), immune dysregulation (n = 18 [81.8%]), and lymphoproliferation (n = 16 [72.7%]) were common clinical features. The long-term benefits of abatacept in 16 patients were demonstrated by complete control of lymphoproliferation and chronic diarrhea followed by immune dysregulation, most notably autoimmune cytopenias. Weekly or every other week administration of abatacept gave better disease control compared with every 4 weeks. There were no serious side effects related to the abatacept therapy. Circulating T follicular helper cell frequencies were found to be a reliable biomarker of disease activity, which decreased on abatacept therapy in most subjects. However, high circulating T follicular helper cell frequencies persisted in 2 patients who had a more severe disease phenotype that was relatively resistant to abatacept therapy. CONCLUSIONS Long-term abatacept therapy is effective in most patients with LRBA deficiency.

Abstract
CONTEXT Hypophosphataemic rickets (HR) is a group of rare hereditary renal phosphate wasting disorders caused by mutations in PHEX, FGF23, DMP1, ENPP1, CLCN5 or SLC34A3. OBJECTIVE To investigate underlying genetic defects in patients with hypophosphataemic rickets. METHODS We analysed genomic DNA from nine unrelated families for mutations in the entire coding region of PHEX, FGF23, DMP1, ENPP1, CLCN5 or SLC34A3 by PCR sequencing and copy number analysis. RESULTS A total of 14 patients were studied. PHEX mutations were identified in 12 patients from seven families. Five of them were novel mutations present in eight patients: c.154G>T (p.E52*), c.401_402insGCCAAA (p.Q134_K135insPK), c.1600C>T (p.P534S), g.22016715_22056805del (40-kb deletion including promoter and exons 1-3) and c.2242_2243delCT (p.L748 fs*48). Four patients had previously reported mutations: c.1768+1G>A and c.1807G>A (p.W602*). Novel CLCN5 (c.1205G>A, p.W402*) and FGF23 (c.526C>G, p.R176G) mutations were found in two patients from the remaining two families. Many of the mutations were de novo: c.154G>T and c.2242_2243delCT in PHEX and c.526C>G in FGF23. Furthermore, we characterized the breakpoint of the novel PHEX g.22016715_22056805del and the c.2242_2243delCT, which is 6 bp from the stop codon, resulting in a frameshift and extension of the reading frame by 42 amino acids. CONCLUSIONS Novel and de novo mutations are frequent and PHEX mutations are still the most common genetic defects in the Turkish population. Gene copy number analysis should be considered in patients with negative results by conventional PCR-based sequencing analysis. The current study further expands the mutation spectrum underlying HR.

Abstract
The behaviour of three selected food-borne pathogens, E. coli O157: H7, L. monocytogenes 4b and Y. enterocolitica O3, added to fermented and pasteurised kefir was monitored. Populations of the three strains increased in one-day-fermented kefir, but only E. coli O157: H7 increased in two-days-fermented kefir during fermentation. None of the strains grew during cold storage (4 1 C), although E. coli O157: H7 and L. monocytogenes 4b survived up to 21 days in all samples cold. Y. enterocolitica O3 was the most susceptible strain that was present in one-day-fermented kefir for at least 14 days. Twodaysfermented kefir samples were more acidic thanthose of one-day-fermented samples, but none of the samples was safe enough to create an environment to eliminate the pathogens.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Visceral adiposity plays an important role in the pathogenesis of obesity related hypertension. Measurement of perinephric adipose tissue (PNAT) thickness has not been studied yet. We aimed to define the relation of PNAT with hypertension, and to investigate its correlations with apelin and C-reactive protein. METHODS Sixty obese adolescents (33 females, 27 males) with a mean age of 14.0±0.8 years and 29 age-matched lean controls were recruited. Obese subjects were divided as hypertensive (Group 1) and normotensive (Group 2) using 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring. PNAT was measured using ultrasonography bilaterally. RESULTS PNAT thickness was found increased by 0.5 mm for each point of increase in body mass index (BMI). Plasma apelin levels were significantly higher in Groups 1 and 2 than those in control group (P<0.001 and P=0.001, respectively). In Group 1 BMI, plasma insulin and cortisol levels were significantly higher. Apelin was positively correlated with BMI and PNAT (P<0.001 for both), and negatively correlated with pubertal stage (ρ=-0.313, P=0.003) and age (ρ=-0.250; P=0.018). CONCLUSIONS This is the first study showing direct correlation between PNAT and BMI and also between apelin and BMI in obese adolescents. Hypertension in adolescence is related to degree of obesity. While plasma apelin increases in obesity, it decreases with increasing age and pubertal stage.

Abstract
Purpose Spondyloenchondrodysplasia is a rare immuno-osseous dysplasia caused by biallelic mutations in ACP5. We aimed to provide a survey of the skeletal, neurological and immune manifestations of this disease in a cohort of molecularly confirmed cases. Methods We compiled clinical, genetic and serological data from a total of 26 patients from 18 pedigrees, all with biallelic ACP5 mutations. Results We observed a variability in skeletal, neurological and immune phenotypes, which was sometimes marked even between affected siblings. In total, 22 of 26 patients manifested autoimmune disease, most frequently autoimmune thrombocytopenia and systemic lupus erythematosus. Four patients were considered to demonstrate no clinical autoimmune disease, although two were positive for autoantibodies. In the majority of patients tested we detected upregulated expression of interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs), in keeping with the autoimmune phenotype and the likely immune-regulatory function of the deficient protein tartrate resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP). Two mutation positive patients did not demonstrate an upregulation of ISGs, including one patient with significant autoimmune disease controlled by immunosuppressive therapy. Conclusions Our data expand the known phenotype of SPENCD. We propose that the OMIM differentiation between spondyloenchondrodysplasia and spondyloenchondrodysplasia with immune dysregulation is no longer appropriate, since the molecular evidence that we provide suggests that these phenotypes represent a continuum of the same disorder. In addition, the absence of an interferon signature following immunomodulatory treatments in a patient with significant autoimmune disease may indicate a therapeutic response important for the immune manifestations of spondyloenchondrodysplasia.

Abstract
CONTEXT Primary adrenal insufficiency (PAI) is a life-threatening condition that is often due to monogenic causes in children. Although congenital adrenal hyperplasia occurs commonly, several other important molecular causes have been reported, often with overlapping clinical and biochemical features. The relative prevalence of these conditions is not known, but making a specific diagnosis can have important implications for management. OBJECTIVE The objective of the study was to investigate the clinical and molecular genetic characteristics of a nationwide cohort of children with PAI of unknown etiology. DESIGN A structured questionnaire was used to evaluate clinical, biochemical, and imaging data. Genetic analysis was performed using Haloplex capture and next-generation sequencing. Patients with congenital adrenal hyperplasia, adrenoleukodystrophy, autoimmune adrenal insufficiency, or obvious syndromic PAI were excluded. SETTING The study was conducted in 19 tertiary pediatric endocrinology clinics. PATIENTS Ninety-five children (48 females, aged 0-18 y, eight familial) with PAI of unknown etiology participated in the study. RESULTS A genetic diagnosis was obtained in 77 patients (81%). The range of etiologies was as follows: MC2R (n = 25), NR0B1 (n = 12), STAR (n = 11), CYP11A1 (n = 9), MRAP (n = 9), NNT (n = 7), ABCD1 (n = 2), NR5A1 (n = 1), and AAAS (n = 1). Recurrent mutations occurred in several genes, such as c.560delT in MC2R, p.R451W in CYP11A1, and c.IVS3ds+1delG in MRAP. Several important clinical and molecular insights emerged. CONCLUSION This is the largest nationwide study of the molecular genetics of childhood PAI undertaken. Achieving a molecular diagnosis in more than 80% of children has important translational impact for counseling families, presymptomatic diagnosis, personalized treatment (eg, mineralocorticoid replacement), predicting comorbidities (eg, neurological, puberty/fertility), and targeting clinical genetic testing in the future.

Abstract
AIM Although the pathogenesis of childhood obesity is multi factorial, maternal obesity and parenting have major roles. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of maternal obesity on feeding practices toward their obese school children. METHODS Obese children and adolescents referred to the pediatric endocrinology department were enrolled consecutively. Height and weight of all children and their mothers were measured. Maternal feeding practices were measured using an adapted version of the Child Feeding Questionnaire (CFQ). Answers were compared between obese (Body Mass Index [BMI] ≥ 30 kg/m2) and non-obese mothers. RESULTS A total of 491 obese subjects (292 girls, mean age 12.0 ± 2.8 years) and their mothers participated in this study. A direct correlation between children's BMI and their mothers' BMI was found (P<0.001) both in girls (r = 0.372) and boys (r = 0.337). While 64.4% of mothers were found obese in the study, only half of them consider themselves as obese. No difference were found in the scores of the subscales "perceived responsibility", "restriction", "concern for child's weight" and "monitoring" between obese and non-obese mothers. Child's BMI-SDS positively correlated with mothers' personal weight perception, concern for child's weight and restriction after adjustment for child's age (P < 0.001, P = 0.012 and P = 0.002, respectively). CONCLUSION Mothers' BMI highly correlate with children's BMI-z-scores. The degree of child's obesity increases mothers' concern and food restriction behavior. While mothers of obese children have a high prevalence of obesity, maternal obesity was found to have no significant influence on feeding behavior of obese school children.

Abstract
Methylmalonic acidemia (MMA) is an inherited organic acidemia usually present with recurrent episodes of acute illness. A typical episode is ushered in with ketonuria and vomiting, followed by acidosis, dehydration, and lethargy, leading, in the absence of aggressive treatment, to coma and death. We report an infant with MMA presented with diabetes symptoms. A 13-month-old girl complained of polydipsia, diuresis, and loss of weight. She had clinical signs of diabetic ketoacidosis such as dehydration, deep sighing respiration, smell of ketones, lethargy, and vomiting. Laboratory analysis showed hyperglycemia with acidosis and ketonuria. She was treated with parenteral fluid, electrolyte, and insulin infusion. Two days after her discharge, after having a meal rich in protein, she was brought unconscious with hepatomegaly, severe acidosis, ketonuria, and mild hyperammonemia. The absence of hyperglycemia and the presence of neurologic findings suggested organic acidemia. MMA was diagnosed because of methylmalonic aciduria and elevated C3 carnitine esters. Cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed increased uptake of radiocontrast material in the basal ganglia bilaterally. A homozygous mutation in exon 4 of the MMAA gene was found in mutation analysis and confirmed the diagnosis of cblA-deficient MMA. Neurologic regression was improved with treatment of low-protein diet, vitamin B12, and l-carnitine. In patients born to consanguineous parents who admit during infancy with severe acidosis refractory to treatment, organic acidemias should be kept in mind, even they have high blood glucose. The definitive diagnosis is important because it may allow a specific treatment and a favorable evolution to prevent the sequelae.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To characterize the clinical features and biochemical status at presentation of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) in different age groups of children, and to analyze the outcomes of a certain treatment protocol. METHODS We reviewed records of patients with DKA who were admitted to our hospital between January 2007 and December 2010. Patients were divided into three subgroups according to age, and the results were compared between these groups. RESULTS One hundred thirty-four episodes in 111 patients (64 females, 47 males) were analyzed. Of these 134 episodes, 60% was in patients with new-onset diabetes and 40% was in those with established diabetes. Patients younger than 5 years had lower C-peptide and HbA1c levels than older patients at clinical onset. They were also given more alkali therapy. The initial conscious level was found closely related to plasma osmolality and serum sodium levels. Seven of 11 patients with recurrent DKA were females. No major complication was observed. CONCLUSION Our study indicates that younger children are at higher risk for severe metabolic decompensation and require more attention and closer monitoring during treatment. We suggest the use of low-dose insulin in this subgroup of patients with DKA without slowing the correction of acidosis.

Abstract
PURPOSE Treatment outcomes and prognostic features of a specific cancer generally come from prospective randomized studies. It seems reasonable to ask the question whether the results of prospective randomized studies entirely reflect the results of the population treated in "real world" practice. Therefore we performed a retrospective cohort analysis in order to find out the efficacy of adjuvant chemotherapy as well as the prognostic factors of our patient population treated in daily practice, and compared these findings with those defined in the prospective studies. METHODS Data of patients with high risk stage II and all stage III colon cancers treated with adjuvant chemotherapy were retrospectively analyzed. RESULTS A total of 190 patients were retrospectively analyzed. The rates of T2, T3, and T4 tumors were 4.2, 77.9, and 17.9%, respectively. Over 35% of the patients had stage II disease. Of the 5- fluorouracil (5-FU)-based chemotherapy group (n=141), 15% had a dose reduction because of toxicity and 73% were given the total planned dose and cycles, whereas these rates were 18.5 and 66% for oxaliplatin+5-FU treated group, respectively (p=0.66 and 0.44, respectively). The 3-year disease-free survival (DFS) and 5-year cancer-specific overall survival (OS) for all patients were 69.4 and 73%, respectively. In multivariate analysis, cancer-specific OS showed significant correlation with T stage (p=0.015) and with perineural invasion (p=0.024). Also patients ≥ 65 years old had significantly lower OS (p= 0.003) CONCLUSION This study is the fi rst to report the efficacy of adjuvant treatment in a curatively resected Turkish colon carcinoma population treated in "real world" practice. Our study showed that the treatment results and the prognostic parameters of Turkish colon carcinoma patients treated in "real world" practice are not different from those of selected patients treated in randomized prospective studies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Some points of pathogenesis in polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) are still unknown. In this study we evaluated the characteristics of this disease and its relationship with ghrelin in adolescence. DESIGN A prospective case control study was designed. Four groups: obese PCOS (n = 13), lean PCOS (n = 13), obese control (n = 10) and lean control (n = 10) were formed. Oral glucose tolerance tests (OGTT) were performed on all subjects. Laboratory and clinical features of groups were compared. SETTING University pediatric endocrinology clinic. PARTICIPANTS Adolescents with PCOS. INTERVENTIONS None. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Insulin resistance, ghrelin, delta ghrelin (difference of ghrelin between basal and 120(th) minute after OGTT), androgens RESULTS Insulin resistance ratios were 93.3%, 46.6%, 50% in obese PCOS, lean PCOS and obese controls respectively. Ghrelin levels were lower in obese PCOS group but statistically different only between obese and lean PCOS groups. Ghrelin was correlated negatively with HOMA-IR (P < 0.001), 17 OH progesterone (P = 0.05), total (P = 0.015) and free testosterone (P = 0.013). Ghrelin suppression was blunted in PCOS groups. Ghrelin suppression ratios after glucose load were 24.4%, 28.7%, 36%, 35% obese PCOS, lean PCOS, obese control and lean control groups respectively. CONCLUSION Low ghrelin levels in obese PCOS patients, correlations between insulin resistance, androgens and ghrelin, blunted suppression of ghrelin after glucose load in PCOS have been considered as evidences of ghrelin role in pathogenesis of this syndrome.

Abstract
There is growing evidence that bladder dysfunction is a negative prognostic factor for spontaneous resolution of vesicoureteric reflux (VUR). This study evaluated the prevalence of urodynamic abnormalities in infants with primary VUR who were referred over a 4-year period. The urodynamic evaluations and medical records of 54 infants with primary VUR (79 ureters with reflux) were reviewed prospectively. Urodynamic dysfunction was observed in 46.3% ( n = 25) of infants with primary VUR; 35.2% ( n = 19) had a low bladder capacity and 11.1% ( n = 6) had a large bladder capacity. All infants with large bladder capacities also had high grade (IV-V) VUR. In conclusion, there was a close relationship between bladder dysfunction and primary VUR. For that reason, urodynamic testing of infants with primary VUR should be performed as part of routine clinical evaluations.

Abstract
Type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM) is a result of inflammation and destruction of alpha-cells in the pancreatic islet cells. The aim of this study is to evaluate the associations of diabetes with soluble L-selectin (sL-selectin) and tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) in children with type 1 DM; and also to evaluate the associations of these parameters with the disease period, glycaemic control state and puberty stage. Serum sL-selectin and TNF-alpha levels were measured in 44 children with type 1 DM and 44 healthy children. Neither the patients nor the control group showed significant difference between the levels of sL-selectin and TNF-alpha (sequence mean 12.17+/-1.62 ng/ml vs. 12.62+/-1.56 ng/ml and 7.27+/-3.1 pg/ml vs. 7.88+/-2.7 pg/ml). There was no statistically significant difference between children with duration of diabetes longer than 5 years and children with duration of diabetes shorter than 1 year. There was also no statistically significant difference between poor glycaemic control and good-acceptable glycaemic control patients. The present results indicate that sL-selectin and TNF-alpha serum levels are not increased and cannot be used as prognostic predictors in type 1 DM; and also sL-selectin and TNF-alpha do not change with the disease period, glycaemic control state and puberty stage.

Abstract
Corticosteroids, even in topical application, may cause immunosuppression and Cushing's syndrome. A case of disseminated fatal cytomegalovirus infection is reported in a 3-month-old girl with Cushing's syndrome caused by exogenous topical clobetasol propionate application, which might have caused immunosuppression due to prolonged use.

Abstract
The effects of extracorporeal shock waves (ESWT) on tendon healing were assessed by observing histological and biomechanical parameters in a rat model of injury to the tendo Achillis. The injury was created by inserting an 18-G needle through tendo Achillis in 48 adult Wistar albino rats. The animals were divided into three groups. The first group received radiation only after the operation. The second received no shock waves and the third had 500 15 KV shocks on the second post-operative day. All the rats were killed on the 21st day after surgery. Histopathological analysis showed an increase in the number of capillaries and less formation of adhesions in the study group compared with the control group (p = 0.03). A significantly greater force was required to rupture the tendon in the study group (p = 0.028). Our findings suggest a basis for clinical trials using ESWT.

Abstract
The effects of extracorporeal shock waves (ESWT) on tendon healing were assessed by observing histological and biomechanical parameters in a rat model of injury to the tendo Achillis. The injury was created by inserting an 18-G needle through tendo Achillis in 48 adult Wistar albino rats. The animals were divided into three groups. The first group received radiation only after the operation. The second received no shock waves and the third had 500 15 KV shocks on the second post-operative day. All the rats were killed on the 21st day after surgery. Histopathological analysis showed an increase in the number of capillaries and less formation of adhesions in the study group compared with the control group (p = 0.03). A significantly greater force was required to rupture the tendon in the study group (p = 0.028). Our findings suggest a basis for clinical trials using ESWT.

Abstract
AIM Obesity is a major global public health problem. Previous drugs (dexfenfluramine and fenfluramine) used for the treatment of obesity have been withdrawn due to various cardiac side effects. Sibutramine is an anti-obesity agent. The purpose of this study was to assess cardiac valve disease and pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) of the patients who used once daily doses of sibutramine. METHODS One hundred and six obese patients (51 men and 55 women) determined to have minimal tricuspid regurgitation (TR) on echocardiographic examination were included in the study. All patients had a complete physical examination, complete blood count and measurement of lipid parameters, and echocardiography was performed by which cardiac valves and PAP were evaluated. After the mean duration of 24-week of follow up, all examinations were repeated for each patient. RESULTS The drug was well tolerated by all patients for the follow-up period. A significant weight loss was recorded in all patients compared to the baseline values (93.1 +/- 9.6 kg vs. 85.8 +/- 7.7 kg, p<0.001). Blood pressures and heart rate of the patients increased compared to the baseline measurements (systolic 122.3 +/- 8.5 vs. 124 +/- 10.2 mmHg, p=0.128, diastolic 79.3 +/- 4.7 vs. 80 +/- 5.7 mmHg, p=0.42 and heart rate 79.5 +/- 6.5 vs. 85 +/- 5.7 beats/min, p<0.001). Echocardiographically determined aortic or mitral valve dysfunction appeared in none of the patients. PAP lightly increased after the treatment but the difference between pre and post-treatment values was not found statistically significant (14.7 +/- 1.8 vs. 16.3 +/- 1.6 mmHg, p=0.06). CONCLUSIONS A 24-week treatment with sibutramine does not affect heart valves and pulmonary artery pressure.

Abstract
AIMS To compare microbiological safety of yogurt, kefir and different combinations of yogurt and kefir samples by using three foodborne pathogenic strains (Escherichia coli O157:H7, Listeria monocytogenes 4b and Yersinia enterocolitica O3) as indicators. METHODS AND RESULTS Fresh yogurt and kefir drinks were added to pasteurized milk at a 5% rate either separately or together, and then incubated at different temperatures (43 degrees C for yogurt and 30 degrees C for kefir), depending on appropriate growth temperature of their starter microflora. While traditional yogurt was found to be the least suppressive on the three pathogenic micro-organisms, samples obtained from two subsequent fermentation process (samples fermented at 43 degrees C for 3 h and at 30 degrees C for 21 h) were more suppressive than that of traditional kefir. There was no significant survival difference between E. coli O157:H7 and L. monocytogenes 4b in samples tested (P > 0.05), but Y. enterocolitica O3 was more susceptible than other two test strains (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The microbiological safety of the dairy product fermented at two consecutive periods was superior than that of traditional yogurt or kefir alone. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY These experiments may mimic what happens when yogurt and kefir starter micro-organisms are combined in a milk fermentation process with different time and temperature periods.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) is the most common demyelinating disorder of childhood. Its clinical features, prognosis and treatment vary in different reports. OBJECTIVES To examine a series of children with ADEM for clinical findings, course, recurrences, and possible variables affecting outcome. METHODS Multicentric data collected from 7 tertiary referral centers were registered and evaluated in a central database in 1990 - 2001 for clinical, laboratory, and MRI features. Course and prognosis were assessed in patients with at least 12 months' follow-up. RESULTS Forty-six patients were evaluated. Median age at onset was 8 years, M/F ratio, 1.7/1. Most common symptoms and signs pertained to the motor system and consciousness. Of 39 children with 12 months' follow-up, 71 % recovered completely. Thirteen (33 %) children had relapses. Patients who had more than one relapse (n = 4) presented with new symptoms at each attack. Treatment with high-dose methylprednisolone was associated with complete recovery, and tapering over more than 3 weeks, with a lower rate of relapses. MRI lesions could persist even in asymptomatic patients; in particular, periventricular lesions tended to disappear later than others. CONCLUSIONS Complete clinical recovery is common and serious complications are rare in childhood ADEM, but the rate of relapses is considerable. Clinical picture at first relapse may help to identify patients likely to experience multiple relapses. The timing and duration of steroid treatment affects outcome.

Abstract
Ab initio calculations on the different associated structures of 2-pyrrolidinone with water and with itself were carried out using 3-21G and 6-31G* basis sets at the Hartree-Fock level, including electron correlation using second-order Møller-Plesset perturbation theory. The calculated free energy changes for the intermolecular hydrogen bonded dimer and hydrated species indicated that the molecular systems with cyclic dimerization and association with two water molecules are dominant. The results are compared to the available experimental data in the literature.

Abstract
Since 1977, various reports have been published concerned with locomotor system involvement in thalassaemia minor. In this blind study, a further 80 cases with thalassaemia minor were evaluated and compared with 63 healthy controls. In 52% of thalassaemia minor cases and 54% of controls, varying musculoskeletal involvement was found by means of history, clinical examination and radiological investigation. Three patients had a history of short-lived arthritis. It was concluded that arthralgia was the most frequent finding, and hands (wrist) and shoulders were mostly involved.
