BACKGROUND
Fructus Ligustri Lucidi (FLL), the fruit of Ligustrum lucidum Ait, is a commonly prescribed herb to nourish the endocrine and renal systems and to strengthen the bones in Traditional Chinese Medicine. This study was aimed to determine the effects of water fraction of FLL ethanol extract
OBJECTIVE
This study was performed to investigate bone deteriorations and calcium homeostasis of GIOP mice in response to the treatment of icariin.
METHODS
The biomarkers in serum and urine were measured, tibias were taken for the measurement on bone calcium, gene expression, histomorphology and
This report concerns an 11-year-old boy who manifested hypophosphatemic rickets associated with congenital microvillous atrophy (CMA). He had been suffering from vomiting and severe diarrhea from the first day of life and had been treated with total parenteral nutrition (TPN) since he was 67 days
BACKGROUND
Hypomagnesemia-hypercalciuria and nephrocalcinosis is a rare inherited syndrome which is characterized by persistent hypomagnesemia despite supplementation, hypercalciuria, nephrocalcinosis and progressive renal failure.
METHODS
Case 1. A girl was referred at the age of 18 months because
Familial hypomagnesaemia with hypercalciuria and nephrocalcinosis is an autosomal-recessive disease caused by mutations in the CLDN16 or CLDN19 genes, which encode tight junction-associated proteins, claudin-16 and -19. The resultant tubulopathy leads to urinary loss of Mg(2+) and Ca(2+), with
A 10 month old girl presented with a history of constipation from early life. She was found to be hypercalcaemic with hypercalciuria and nephrocalcinosis. Her mild motor delay and hypotonia were thought to be linked to chronic hypercalcaemia, but when these features failed to improve despite
Two siblings from a consanguineous family, suffering from nephrocalcinosis and nephrolithiasis caused by idiopathic hypercalciuria are described. The condition is associated with bilateral macular colobomata and tapeto-retinal degeneration. It is known that the latter can occur together with
Familial hypomagnesemia-hypercalciuria with nephrocalcinosis and renal insufficiency in childhood is a rarely described disease. Two siblings of consanguineous Tunesian parents (first cousins), a 2-year-old boy and a 4-year-old girl presented with renal insufficiency and severe bilateral
Case report of a 18 year old boy with short stature, microceophaly, mental retardation and multiple dysmorphic signs. At the age of 9 years a severe generalised osteoporosis was discovered. A pathological fracture of the greenwoor type healed without proper callus formation. The osteoporosis
Hereditary hypophosphatemic rickets with hypercalciuria (HHRH) is a new autosomal form of hypophosphatemic rickets, recently described. This disease is characterized, and differs from other forms of hereditary hypophosphatemic rickets and/or osteomalacia by increased serum levels of
The present study aimed to investigate bone deterioration in glucocorticoid‑induced osteoporosis (GIOP) mice, and the anti‑osteoporosis effect and underlying molecular mechanism of icariin. Dexamethasone (DSM) treatment was demonstrated to facilitate the induction of hypercalciuria in GIOP mice.
The association of a functional parathyroid cyst with a parathyroid adenoma is an uncommon finding. In this report we describe the clinical history of a 60-yr-old man, presenting with the following findings: hypercalcemia (18.9 mg/dl), elevated serum parathormone levels (1320 pg/dl), hypercalciuria
