Filter by:Cognitive impairment is independently related to low birth weight, low birth length and small head circumference. SGA children who have not experienced height and / or head circumference catch-up have the worst cognitive function. The serum IGF-1 level of short SGA children is significantly lower than that of catch-up SGA children. This may be due to the defect of GH-IGF-1 axis, resulting in some hGH / IGF-1 deficiency. GH treatment can induce catch-up growth of head circumference, especially for those with small birth head circumference, growth hormone can help to improve IQ, behavior and self cognition of children with SGA. Two years after birth is the most critical period for children's physical, neurological, cognitive and emotional development. This study evaluated the effect of growth hormone treatment on the improvement of cognitive function and growth and development of symmetrical SGA children who did not show catch-up growth from 6 months to 2 years old. This is an innovative study. The minimum age of previous similar studies is 19 months. The starting age of this study is 6 months, and the results are to improve the cognitive development of SGA infants. This is the first of its kind. Although the safety of growth hormone in SGA infants younger than 2 years old has not been reported, it is based on a number of studies on the application of growth hormone in infants, such as PWS and GHD, It can be expected that there will be no short-term and long-term adverse reactions. The study was conducted in 17 hospitals led by Tongji Hospital Affiliated to Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of science and technology
The PROMIS study will focus on maternal insulin sensitivity thourghout pregnancy and postpartum in a moderate to high risk population (BMI ≥25 kg/m2) in developing adverse pregnancy outcomes. Next to the OGTT, the meal tolerance test (MTT) will be used as a tool for metabolic testing. The investigators hypothesize that (early) pregnancy assessment of maternal glucose-insulin metabolism with a MTT in a moderate to high risk group identify more mothers at risk for adverse pregnancy outcomes compared with standard OGTT testing at 24-28 weeks.
According to the results of the phase II study, choose the best dose of JINTOPIN AQ for short SGA children, further to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the treatment of short SGA children.
The study was evaluated as the optimal dose for the treatment of SGA short stature children by Pegylated Somatropin, initially evaluated its efficiency and safety for the treatment of SGA short stature children and provided scientific, reliable basis for phase III clinical trials for dose selection.
