Résumé
Objeetive To analyze the efficacy and safety of diazoxide treatment in patients with congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI).Methods The clinical data of 145 patients diagnosed with CHI hospitalized in Beijing Children's Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University from February 2002 to January 2016 who received diazoxide treatment were retrospectively analyzed.We conducted a detailed analysis on the efficacy,side effects and prognosis of diazoxide treatment for CHI.Results In 145 patients,there were 89 patients (61.4％) who were responsive to diazoxide and 23 patients (15.9％) unresponsive to diazoxide,and the treatment effect of diazoxide for the other 33 cases (22.8％) was still unclear.In the diazoxide effective group,there were 22 cases (24.7％) of neonatal onset,32 cases (36.0％)of onset from 1-6 months after birth and 35 cases (39.3％) of onset after 6 months of birth,and the birth weight was normal in 67 cases,macrosomia in 16 cases,low in 5 cases and unknown in 1 case.In the diazoxide ineffective group,there were 14 cases (60.8％) of neonatal onset,7 cases (30.4％) of onset from 1-6 months after birth and 2 cases (8.6％)of onset after 6 months of birth,and the birth weight was normal in 9 cases and macrosomia in 14 cases.In the unclear diazoxide effect group,there were 20 cases (60.6％) of neonatal onset,9 cases (27.34％) of onset from 1-6 months after birth and 4 cases (12.1％) of onset after 6 months of birth,and the birth weight was normal in 15 cases and macrosomia in 18 cases.After the application of diazoxide,65 cases (44.8％) had hirsutism,and 43 patients (29.7％) had gastrointestinal side effects.In the diazoxide effective group,the symptom of hypoglycemia was spontaneously alleviated at the age of from 3 months to 7 years old in 20 patients (22.5％),and 33 patients continued to be treated by diazoxide.In the diazoxide ineffective group,the symptom of hypoglycemia was spontaneously alleviated around the age of 1 years old in 4 patients (17.3％),5 patients were treated by octreotide in long term to maintain normal blood sugar level,4 patients received pancreectomy including 3 with normal blood sugar and 1 with occasional hypoglycemia after surgery.In the unclear diazoxide effect group,the symptom of hypoglycemia was spontaneously alleviated at the age of from 10 months to 3 years old in 4 patients (12.1％),2 patients were treated by octreotide in long term to maintain normal blood sugar level,8 patients received pancreatectomy including 5 with controlled blood sugar after surgery.Conclusions Diazoxide is effective in treating CHI children.The efficiency may be higher for the CHI with normal birth weight or whose onset age is after the neonatal period.
Résumé
Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics and gene mutations of 56 patients with congenital hyperinsulinism(CHI)and to provide a theoretical basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment of CHI.Methods Fifty-six children who were diagnosed as CHI between February 2002 and January 2016 in Beijing Children's Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University were selected as research subjects.A retrospective study was done about the clinical data and the treatment procedures of the 56 patients,such as perinatal conditions,clinical manifestations,laboratory data,treatments,prognosis and so on.Polymerase chain reaction(PCR)-DNA technology or next-generation sequencing technology was used to analyze the CHI relevant genes of the 56 patients.Results Thirty of the 56 patients carried CHI gene mutation.(1)Twenty-three of 56 patients(41.0％)carried ABCC8/KCNJ11 gene mutations:4 of 23 patients carried complex heterozygous mutation,1 of 23 patients carried both ABCC8 and KCNJ11 gene mutation,1 of 23 patients carried maternally inherited ABCC8 gene mutation,12 of 23 patients carried paternally inherited ABCC8 gene mutation,1 of 23 patients carried paternally inherited KCNJ11 gene mutation,3 of 23 patients carried de novo ABCC8 gene mutation,1 of 23 patients had unknown genetic way,19 of 23 patients were treated with Diazoxide,2 of 19 patients were responsive to Diazoxide,7 of 19 patients were unresponsive to Diazoxide and 10 of 19 patients were uncertain to Diazoxide.(2)Five of 56 patients(8.9％)carried GLUD1 gene mutation,4 of 5 patients were treated with Diazoxide and they were all responsive to Diazoxide.(3)One of 56 patients(1.7％)carried de novo GCK gene mutation,responsive to Diazoxide treatment.(4)One of 56 patients(1.7％)carried maternally inherited SLC16A1 gene mutation,responsive to Diazo-xide treatment.Conclusions The ABCC8 gene and GLUD1 gene mutation are the main causative genes of CHI.The GCK gene and SLC16A1 gene mutation are in the minority.Most ABCC8 gene and KCNJ11 gene mutation are unresponsive to Diazoxide treatment.
Résumé
Objective To summarize the clinical data of 194 patients with congenital hyperinsulinism(CHI),in order to provide the theoretical basis for the diagnosis,treatment and prognosis of CHI.Methods One hundred and ninety-four patients with CHI hospitalized in Beijing Children's Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University from February 2002 to January 2016 were recruited.Clinical data of 194 patients were collected and clinical characteristics and treatment were retrospectively analyzed.Results One hundred and forty-four cases in 194 patients were treated with Diazoxide,among whom,88 cases were responsive to Diazoxide,23 cases were unresponsive to Diazoxide,and 33 cases were uncertain to Diazoxide.Twenty-six cases in 194 cases were treated with Octreotide,among whom,16 cases were responsive to Octreotide,5 cases were unresponsive to Octreotide,and 5 cases were uncertain to Octreotide.Eleven cases in 194 cases had the 18 Fluoride-L-dihydroxyphenylalanine positron emission computerized tomography scan (18-F-L-DOPA-PET scan),among whom,7 cases were identified as focal lesion and 4 cases were identified as diffuse lesion.Twelve cases in 194 cases were treated with pancreatectomy,among whom,4 cases achieved normal blood glucose levels,4 cases still suffered from persistent hypoglycemia,3 cases had type 1 diabetes mellitus,and 1 case dropped out after the surgery.Forty-five cases in 194 cases had spontaneous remission and the remission time varied from 1 month to 8 years.Conclusions (1) Diazoxide is the first line drug of CHI.The older age onset is,the higher possibility of responsive to Diazoxide shows.(2)Octreotide is used as the second line drug.(3)18-F-L-DOPA-PET scan is the first choice to identify the location of CHI and it is useful in distinguishing between focal and diffuse forms.(4) The outcome of CHI patients after pancreatectomy is very different.A proper surgical method should be selected before the surgery.The blood glucose should be detected after surgery for a long time.(5) Some patients have the tendency of spontaneous remission.
