Now many young parents are very concerned about their child height, want their children to grow higher, grow strong, but some parents did not, the child has a short stature.
MD, director of Jiangsu Provincial Hospital of Pediatrics leaves into the main long-term treatment of short stature children, according to her, when the children in the same age, height and gender normal children with the third percentile for height or the following less than two standard deviations are known as short stature, some of which due to lack of anterior pituitary secretion of growth hormone called growth hormone deficiency caused by disease. There is a typical case, a 10-year-old from Anhui mountain girl niu, only about 1 m tall, until one day, niu aunt returned to her husband family from Nanjing to see that this child has a problem niu, niu took to Nanjing find the leaf into the Pediatric Hospital of Jiangsu Province, chief physician, upon inspection, niu addition to malnutrition, children also suffer from growth hormone deficiency. Niu working in Nanjing aunt Dongnuexijie some money in the leaf into the treatment, the effect is very obvious, niu grow to 1.11 meters.
Ye Jin told the author: niu suffering from growth hormone deficiency (GHD), our children, the incidence rate of about 1:8500. The main reason is lack of anterior pituitary secretion of growth hormone may lead to low school with genetic defects cause disease, idiopathic hypothalamic abnormalities, and brain tumors and so on. Niu such a situation as likely related to inheritance, her father about 1.6 meters, the mother less than 1.50 meters, coupled with severe malnutrition, even school children under normal circumstances, to see a child suffering from growth hormone deficiency, can be height growth curves to determine if the height is lower than the same age, same sex normal children, the third percentile for height or two standard deviations below, can be diagnosed with short stature. Or according to the formula “age × 7 70 (cm)” calculation, if the child height 10 cm below the results of this calculation can determine the growth rate for the short school year that the value of height growth (cm / yr), height growth rate is lower than the corresponding age of the normal rate of growth retardation of children. General growth rate per year under the age of 2 cm, four or five year growth rate to the onset of puberty cm, and the annual growth rate of adolescent cm, are growth retardation. Related to diagnosis usually do examine, first of all to be on the left wrist and metacarpophalangeal take X-rays to see bone, bone growth to determine the child, the degree of epiphyseal closure and growth potential. Second, we need to do blood, urine, blood, liver and kidney function, calcium, phosphorus, and alkaline phosphatase, thyroid hormones, growth factors, trace elements and a series of checks, but also to growth hormone stimulation test. Girls also check to determine whether blood chromosome as “congenital ovarian hypoplasia” and so on. By checking, the doctor can confirm the diagnosis the cause of short stature children, growth hormone deficiency if clear, it is necessary to develop a reasonable treatment.
these children if early treatment with growth hormone while with traditional Chinese medicine, the clinical effect is generally good. Niu like this, now you can continue to use hormone therapy, and usually note the following: 1. Pay attention to nutrition is not a partial eclipse. Eat more protein, such as flour, wheat germ, beans, shrimp, crabs, shellfish, seaweed, beef, chicken, liver, Zhu Tuirou, eggs, milk and dark vegetables. Eat foods rich in calcium, phosphorus and calcium salts of food, eat more foods rich in zinc. 2 strengthen the movement. Not enough exercise is not conducive to long high. Promote the growth of convenient and effective height of the movement, jumping rope, Mogao, horizontal bar, parallel bars and so on. 3. To ensure adequate sleep. During sleep, growth hormone secretion is awake about 3 times. Children in the evening should go to sleep before 10 pm, 8-9 hours of sleep a day to keep the summer at least a half hour nap. 4. To prevent and treat diseases caused by physiological dysfunction of various glass of acute and chronic diseases, child growth and development can have a direct impact.
calculated according to each 10 cm long, 13-14 year-old long to develop, niu expected to grow to 1.50 meters or more. “Niu treatment is not too late now, the clinical results should be optimistic.” Leaf into the chief physician, said. Taking into account the poverty niu home, Ye Jin, MD, director of the positive links Kinsey Pharmaceutical preparations niu funding to continue the treatment gratis for free. Yesterday, when the medical staff donated niu took drugs, jumped up excitedly, “I l be tall, can play computer friends.” Correspondent Feng Yao
