Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention belongs to the related field of biological identification, in particular, it relates to a biomarker of pituitary stalk interruption syndrome and its determination method and application. Background technique
[0002] Pituitary stalk interruption syndrome (pituitary stalk interruption syndrome, PSIS) is the absence or thinning of the pituitary stalk, which causes the hormones secreted by the hypothalamus to be unable to be transported to the posterior pituitary through the pituitary stalk, and unable to act on the anterior pituitary through the pituitary portal system. resulting clinical syndrome. There are varying degrees of pituitary hormone deficiency in PSIS patients. Growth retardation and lack of puberty are the main clinical manifestations. Early detection, early diagnosis, and early treatment are crucial to improving the symptoms of hormone deficiency in patients, especially the development of height and gonads; if the timing of ...
Examples
Embodiment 1
[0030] The present embodiment provides PSIS diagnostic biomarkers, the biomarkers are pregnenolone sulfate and L-
[0031] saccharin.
[0032] 21 PSIS patients (BD group), 23 nCHH patients (HH group), 20 varicocele patients (VC group) and 23 healthy controls with normal semen parameters (HC group) were recruited from Peking Union Medical College Hospital. Diagnostic criteria include: (a) growth hormone deficiency; (b) triad of absent or thin pituitary stalk, pituitary hypoplasia, and / or ectopic neurohypophysis on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). All patients and HCs included were of Han nationality. Semen samples were generated by masturbation after ≥3 days of abstinence. The basic information of all participants is listed in Table 1.
[0033] All PSIS patients had abnormalities (100%). Their mean age was 24.6±4.9 years. Many patients had non-liquefied semen (10 / 21) and concentrated semen (9 / 21). PSIS patients had smaller testicular volume (PSIS group 5.9±2.6ml vs HC gr...
Embodiment 2
[0056] Different from Example 1, BD vs nCHH, according to the main difference lipid species, combined with multi-stage mass spectrometry information to search the metabolite database, can preliminarily determine that the PSIS biomarker can also be MG (18:2(9Z, 12Z) / 0:0 / 0:0). Validated by ROC, PSIS can be distinguished from other types of male infertility patients. The marker can be used to prepare a PSIS diagnostic kit and / or reagent.
Embodiment 3
[0058] Different from Example 1, BD vs VC, according to the main differential lipid species, combined with multi-stage mass spectrometry information to search the metabolite database, it can be preliminarily determined that the PSIS biomarker can also be uncosanoic acid. Validated by ROC, PSIS can be distinguished from other types of male infertility patients. The marker can be used to prepare a PSIS diagnostic kit and / or reagent.
