  • 목 적 : 조기사춘기 여아에게 성선자극호르몬 방출호르몬 효능약제(gonadotropin releasing hormone analogue, GnRHa)와 성장호르몬(growth hormone, GH)의 병합치료를 시행하여 성인신장획득에 대한 효과를 알아보고자 하였다. 방 법 : 2001년 1월부터 2004년 1월까지 조기사춘기로 소아과 외래를 내원한 여아 중 예측성인신장이 -2 표준편차점수 이하로 표적키보다 훨씬 작은 23명($9.73{\pm}1.59$세)을 대상으로 초경을 시작하지 않은 군(Group 1, n=19, $9.59{\pm}1.59$세)과 초경을 시작한 군(Group 2, n=4, $10.38{\pm}1.44$세)으로 나누어 GnRHa와 GH의 병합치료를 시행하고, 치료 시작 전후 및 두 군 간의 역연령, 골연령, 성장속도, 신장, 예측성인신장, 혈청 IGF-1, IGFBP-3 치, BMI를 비교 분석하였다. 결 과 : 치료 시작 시의 두 군의 역연령, 성장속도, BMI는 유의한 차이는 없었으나 골연령 및 골연령과 역연령의 차이는 Group 2에서 Group 1보다 유의하게 증가되어 있었다. 신장은 Group 1의 평균이 $130.7{\pm}7.4cm$, Group 2의 평균이 $140.7{\pm}6.0cm$으로 유의하게 차이가 있었으나 표적키, 예측성인신장, 혈청 IGF-1과 IGFBP-3은 유의한 차이가 없었다. 치료 종료 시의 Group 1의 골연령은 평균 $12.18{\pm}1.02$세, Group 2의 골연령은 평균 $13.56{\pm}0.83$세로 치료 시작 전과 마찬가지로 Group 2에서 유의하게 높았으나, 골연령과 역연령의 차이, 신장, 그리고 IGF-1은 차이가 없었다. 전체에서 골연령과 역연령의 차이가 치료 시작 전에 평균 $2.50{\pm}2.46$세, 치료 종료 후에 평균 $1.10{\pm}0.97$세로 감소되었고, 역연령에 대한 골연령의 비도 $1.22{\pm}0.16$에서 $1.10{\pm}0.10$으로 감소되어서 결국 골연령의 증가는 현저히 감소하였다. 성장 속도 역시 평균 $7.46{\pm}2.44cm$/년에서 $5.65{\pm}2.08cm$/년으로 감소하였다. 예측성인신장은 치료 전에 평균 $146.6{\pm}3.50cm$, 치료 후에 평균 $153.8{\pm}4.7cm$으로 현저히 증가하였으며 신장의 표준편차점수도 $-0.66{\pm}1.02$ SDS에서 $-0.34{\pm}1.04$ SDS로 유의하게 증가하였다. BMI는 치료 전 평균 $18.80{\pm}2.35kg/m^2$, 치료 후에 평균 $20.4{\pm}2.53kg/m^2$로 유의하게 증가하였고, 혈청 IGF-1은 치료 후에 유의하게 증가하였으나 IGFBP-3는 유의한 변화가 없었다. 치료 전후에 두 군에서 각 성장 변수의 변화를 보면 골연령과 역연령의 차이는 유의하게 감소하였고 신장, 예측성인신장, BMI는 유의하게 증가하였다. 그러나 혈청 IGF-1의 경우, Group 1에서는 치료 후에 현저히 증가하였으나 Group 2에서는 별 차이가 없었다. 혈청 IGFBP-3는 모두에서 유의한 차이가 없었다. 결 론 : 조기사춘기 여아에게 GnRHa와 GH의 병합치료를 시행했을 때, 골연령의 증가 속도와 성장속도가 감소하고, 혈청 IGF-1이 증가함으로써 예측성인신장이 의미 있게 증가하며 표적키에 가깝게 증가한다. 또한 IGF-1의 변화를 보면 초경을 시작하지 않은 조기사춘기 여아가 초경을 시작한 경우보다 성장획득에 대한 가능성이 더 클 것으로 생각된다.

  • Puberty is the developmental period which animals obtain the ability of reproducing sexually for the first time in life. In commercially important aquaculture fish species, the onset of puberty is a matter of major interest due to controlling of sexual maturation to improve broodstock management. To investigate pubertal characteristics of female longtooth grouper (Epinephelus bruneus), specimens were classified into three groups by the bodyweight, including 1, 2, and 3 kg group. Thereafter, we focused on ovarian development and level changes of endocrine regulation factors (GnRH, GTHs, steroid hormone). In the non-breeding season (April), the levels of endocrine regulation factors showed increasing trends in accordance with bodyweight gaining; nevertheless, the oocytes were growth phase belongs to almost peri-nucleous stages in all groups. In the breeding season (June), the levels of endocrine regulation factors were fluctuated that decreases in levels of sbGnRH and $FSH{\beta}$ mRNA expressions along with serum $E_2$ concentrations in 3 kg of group. However, $LH{\beta}$ mRNA expression levels sustained increasing trends by the bodyweight. Moreover, the oocytes developed that 2 kg and 3 kg groups obtained plentiful vitellogenic oocytes while 1 kg group was still composed with greater part of pre-vitellogenic oocytes. Especially, the oocytes of 3 kg group reached over 450 ${\mu}m$ of diameters that indicating possibility to enter the final maturations. These results suggest that the progress of pubertal development in female E. bruneus could be classify into three phases via bodyweight, including pre-puberty (1 kg), early-puberty (2 kg) and puberty (3 kg).

  • Objectives: These cases are that of three girls who are diagnosed as precocious puberty. It seems that the incidence of precocious puberty is rapidly increasing these days. In addition to the psychosocial disturbances associated with precocious puberty, the premature pubertal growth spurt and the accelerated bone maturation result in reduced adult height. The aim of this study was to report the effect of Jowisengchung-tang in 3 cases of precocious puberty. Methods: Retrospective and comparative analysis of 3 children who had been diagnosed with preco cious puberty. Anthropometric measurements including height, weight, body fat, body fat percent, AHP and body mass index were measured. Endocrine investigations including estradiol, luteinizing hormone(LH), FSH were conducted. Pubertal stages were determined with a questionnaire using Tanner stages. Jowisengchung-tang was given to 3 precocious puberty girls. Results: After treatment, the hormone(estradiol index) and accompanying symptoms (breast bud with elevation of breast and papilla; enlargement of areola) were reduced compared with first visit day. Conclusions: We may conclude that Korean traditional treatment of Jowisengchung-tang is effective in patients with precocious puberty and menopausal symptoms.

  • Bone mass accretion during puberty appears to be critical in the development of peak bone mass. Although bone density of females in Korea has been studied, only a few studies have related bone mass with anthropometric patterns or puberty in the pubescent girls. This study was conducted as part of a study of major determinants of bone development during puberty. Subjects were aged 14∼16 yr(mean 14.97), and had no history of disorders or dedication use likely to influence bone or calcium metabolism. Bone mineral density and content were measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry using a Lunar DPX+Scanner (Lunar Madison, WI). Also, total body fat, and total lean body mass were assessed using a Lunar DPX dual-energy X-ray absorptiometer, Pubertal status was assessed according to the Marshall and Tanner guidelines. Serum levels of osteocalcin was measured by RIA using a commercial kit assay. Skinfold measurements were taken with a skinfold caliper(Lange Caliper, USA). Data were analyzed using the regression and GLM procedure of the statistical package SAS. The results indicated that the observed means for lumbar spine BMD and femoral BMD correspond to approximately 91% and 96% of the means for young adult females, respec tively. All subjects were menarchal, with the majority being in the middle to end stages of pubertal development. Total body BMD was positively related to fat mass(P<0.001), lean body mass and time since menarche, and negatively related to urine pyridinoline, serum alkaline phosphatase and osteocalcin. The data indicate that girls who reported lower age for menarche had significantly higher bone densities than girls who reported higher age for menarche. Attaining peak skeletal bone mass during puberty may reduce the incidence of osteoporosis in later life. this finding suggests that early menarche may augment peak bone mass, influencing the extent of bone loss later in adulthood. The results suggest that good nutrition in childhood appears to be needed not for growth and development, but possibly also to assure an optimal peak of bone mass and thus greater latitude for the maintenance or skeletal integrity in the face of bone losses. Troeps skinfold thickness was a better predictor of total BMD and total BMC than was any other skinfold thickness. The study did not find a relationship between total BMD and body fat %, but total fat was significantly positively related to total BMD(r=0.49) and total BMC(r=0.60). It supports earlier report that there was a significant correlation between TBMD and body weight. Conclusively, total fat, lean body mass and pubertal development could influence BMD in pubescent girls. Clearly, longitudinal studies are required to assess the effect of puberty on peak bone mass, and to define further the potential determinants of peak bone mass.

  • Cytochrome P450 1A2 (CYP1A2) is a member of the cytochrome P450 superfamily enzymes in mammals and plays a major role in metabolizing endogenous hormones in the liver. In recent days, CYP1A2 expression has been found in not only the liver but also other tissues including the pancreas and lung. However, little information is available regarding the expression of CYP1A2 in the ovary, in spite of the facts that the ovarian follicle growth and atresia are tightly associated with controls of endocrine hormonal networks. Therefore, the expression of CYP1A2 in the ovaries of prepubertal and pubertal rats was investigated to assess its expression pattern and puberty-related alteration. It was demonstrated that the expression level of CYP1A2 was significantly (p < 0.01) higher in the pubertal ovaries than prepubertal counterparts. At the ovarian follicle level in both groups, whereas CYP1A2 expression was less detectable in the primordial, primary and secondary follicles, the strongly positive expression of CYP1A2 was localized in the granulosa cell layers in the antral and pre-ovulatory follicles. However, the ratio of CYP1A2-positive ovarian follicle was significantly (p < 0.01) higher in the ovary of pubertal group (73.1 ± 3.1%) than prepubertal one (41.0 ± 10.5%). During the Immunofluorescence, expression of CYP1A2 was mainly localized in Fas-positive follicles, indicating the atretic follicles. In conclusion, these results suggested that CYP1A2 expression was mainly localized at the atretic follicular cells and affected by the onset of puberty. Further study is still necessary but we hypothesize that CYP1A2 expresses in the atretic follicles to metabolize residue of the reproductive hormones. These findings may have important implications for the fields of reproductive biology of animals.

  • Turner syndrome (TS) is a genetic disorder in phenotypic females that has characteristic physical features and presents as partial or complete absence of the second sex chromosome. Growth hormone deficiency (GHD) is a condition caused by insufficient release of growth hormone from the pituitary gland. The concomitant occurrence of TS and GHD is rare and has not yet been reported in Korea. Here we report 2 cases of TS and GHD. In case 1, GHD was initially diagnosed. Karyotyping was performed because of the presence of the typical phenotype and poor response to growth hormone therapy, which revealed 45,X/45,X+mar. The patient showed increased growth velocity after the growth hormone dose was increased. In case 2, a growth hormone provocation test and chromosomal analysis were performed simultaneously because of decreased growth velocity and the typical TS phenotype, which showed GHD and a mosaic karyotype of 45,X/46,XX. The patient showed spontaneous pubertal development. In female patients with short stature, it is important to perform a throughout physical examination and test for hormonal and chromosomal abnormalities because diagnostic accuracy is important for treatment and prognosis.

  • The purpose of this study was to make a comparative analysis of dietary habits, snacks, eating out and fast-food intake between students with a relatively early sexual maturity and others with a relatively late sexual maturity in a bid to grasp the impact of dietary behaviors on sexual maturity. The subjects in this study were 565 boys and girls who resided in Seoul and Gyeonggi province. They included fifth- and sixth-grade school children and seventh-grade middle school students. To classify the selected students according to the level of sexual maturity, the students of the same month age were divided into two groups in consideration of the stage of their sexual maturity and that of the other age groups. The early mature group was significantly taller and weighed more than the late mature group irrespective of gender. According to Tanner stages, the boys of the early mature group reached a 3.03 stage of sexual maturity when the sexual organs were taken into account, and those of the late mature group reached a 1.50 stage of sexual maturity. The girls of the early mature group reached a 3.43 stage of sexual maturity on the basis of breast, and those of the late mature group reached a 2.73 stage of sexual maturity. Concerning eating out, the early mature group ate out more frequently than the late mature group. In regard to snacks, the early mature group had a snack more often. The findings of the study indicated that there were differences in physical development and some dietary behaviors according to sexual maturity. The early mature group had a snack and ate out relatively more often than the late mature group, which showed that some dietary behaviors had an impact on the sexual maturity of the teens who arrived at the age of puberty.
