1 tbl, 3 ex

 

The invention relates to medicine, namely to endocrinology, neurology and physiotherapy, and can be used to determine the nature of the delay of sexual development in boys during puberty with growth retardation.

A known method for the diagnosis of disorders of puberty for boys based on the content of testosterone in blood plasma (Starikov N.T. basis of clinical andrology. - M., 1973, p.3).

However, the known method detects only forms of abuse, due to the reduction of functional activity of the testes, and is not possible to determine violations of puberty, caused by insufficient sensitivity of specific receptor systems androgen-dependent organs.

There is also known a method of identifying disorders of sexual development in boys by determining the activity of absorption of N3-testosterone skin cells in the genital area. On a variance of indices of age diagnosed violation of puberty (USSR Author's certificate No. 1000021, IPC AB 10/00. Publ. 28.02.1983, bull. No. 8).

The disadvantage of this method is its invasiveness and lack of information, because the definition of H3testosterone makes no assumptions about the nature of disorders of sexual development.

Closest to the proposed its the technical essence is a method of differential diagnosis of functional delay puberty in boys include a definition in their blood concentrations of luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and total testosterone (T), and compare the obtained values with standard values for children in this age group and a functional test to assess gonadotropic function of the pituitary gland in patients with impaired timing of puberty. To test use diferelin 0.1 mg (triptorelin; Beaufour Ipsen International) - synthetic Decapeptide, a structural analogue of gonadotropin-releasing hormone prolonged action. Collection of samples of blood after the injection is carried out before and after 1, 4 and 24 hours after subcutaneous injection. About puberty character secretion of gonadotropins shows the level of luteinizing hormone, greater than 10 mIU/L. lower value indicates a delay of pubertal development without revealing his character (Ivan Dedov, Gasolinetm. Rational pharmacotherapy of diseases of the endocrine system and metabolic disorders. A guide for practitioners. - M., 2006, s).

The disadvantage of this method is its high invasiveness (fourfold blood sampling during the day), mandatory for hours near the laboratory between samples, the inability to determine the nature of the delay, poliwag the development in boys during puberty with growth retardation.

Task to be solved by the claimed invention is directed, is to reduce the invasiveness of the method and determination of the nature of the delay of sexual development in boys during puberty with growth retardation.

The technical result is to stimulate the function of the hypothalamic-pituitary system, which is responsible, in particular, hormonal profile.

The problem is solved in that in the method of differential diagnostics of functional delay puberty in boys, which includes the determination in their blood concentrations of luteinizing hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone and total testosterone, and compare the obtained values with standard values for children of this age group, according to a survey distinguish the boys from the absence or insufficiency in their blood concentrations of at least two hormones, including testosterone, and hold them rate transcranial magnetic therapy (CRT) by affecting the brain daily for 10-12 minutes running alternating magnetic field with a frequency of 50-100 Hz bitemporal scanning the mode with frequency field scanning 8-12 Hz when the value of the magnetic induction 15-20 MT, a course of 10 treatments. Then after 1-1,5 month re-determine the concentration of these hormones: LH, FSH, T, and in case of an increase to the of ncentrate, at least two hormones, including testosterone, not less than 25% from the original values make a conclusion about the functional nature of the delay of sexual development, and in the absence of enhancing or increasing concentrations of the two hormones, including testosterone, less than 25% from the original values - about the organic nature of the delay of sexual development.

The course transcranial magnetic therapy by bitemporal effects on the brain daily for 10-12 minutes running alternating magnetic field improves blood circulation and nutrition of the relevant brain structures.

The application running alternating magnetic field with a frequency of 50-100 Hz in the scan mode with a scan rate field 8-12 Hz when the value of the magnetic induction 15-20 MT optimizes transcranial impact for children of this age, which normalizes the function of the hypothalamic-pituitary system, the blood circulation in the vessels of the brain and the power of his tissues, accompanied by improvement in clinical and hormonal parameters, i.e. has a restorative effect on the course of puberty in boys with delayed growth.

The use of magnetic induction value of 15-20 MT experimentally substantiated and is the optimal value for children in this age group. When using the smaller C is acene the desired effect of transcranial magnetic therapy in children is not achieved. When the values of the magnetic induction exceeding 20 MT, there is a risk of damage of brain tissue due to spasm of the vessels, as a response to overly aggressive effect.

The interval of 1-1 .5 months for re-determination in blood boys concentrations of hormones associated with the delayed action of magnetic fields on the structure of the brain and the peculiarity of the formation of the responses from the point of view of the production of hormones.

According to the follow-up examination, the inventors found that increasing concentrations of at least two hormones, including testosterone, not less than 25% from the original values indicates the functional character of delayed sexual development, and the lack of improvement or increasing concentrations of the two hormones, including testosterone, less than 25% from the original values - about the organic nature of the delay of sexual development.

The method is as follows.

Examine boys puberty with growth delay by determining in their blood concentrations of hormones: LH, FSH and T, for example, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay using a test kit: follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH IRMA), luteinizing hormone (LH IRMA) and other

Then compare the obtained values with standard values for the children of this age group and survey results distinguish the boys from the absence or insufficiency in their blood concentrations, at least two hormones, including testosterone.

Teach these boys transcranial magnetic therapy by influencing traveling magnetic field frequency of 50-100 Hz bitemporal in the scanning mode when moving field synchronously on both sides of the temporal lobes to the occipital region with a scanning frequency of 8-12 Hz. After 1-1,5 month re-determine the concentration of these hormones and the results of the survey are judged on the nature of the delay of sexual development. I.e. in the case of increasing concentrations of at least two hormones, including testosterone, not less than 25% from the original values conclude that the presence of boys in the functional nature of the delay of sexual development. In the absence of enhancing or increasing concentrations of at least two hormones, including testosterone, less than 25% from the original values conclude that the presence of boys organic nature of the delay of sexual development.

The method is implemented at the Department of propaedeutics of children's diseases, pediatric endocrinology and diabetology, Saratov State medical University n.a. Viethumble. A survey of 67 boys 13-14 years with stunting on a single plan, which included the assessment of complaints, identifying the stage of sexual development according to Tanner, the carrying out of hormonal research is Avani: determination of serum LH, FSH and So

On initial examination in the pubertal age main complaint was delayed growth and sexual development: the average value of the SDS growth amounted to 1.2±0,7; sexual development corresponded to the 1st stage Tanner. Levels of sex hormones corresponded populartity values: average value of total testosterone there were 1.2±0.07 nmol/l, LH=1,4±0,2 mIU/l, FSH=1,7±0.4 mIU/L.

To determine the nature of the delay puberty boys was applied transcranial magnetic therapy using the apparatus "AMO-ATOS" with the prefix "Headband" (manufacturer: OOO "TRIM" Saratov), representing two emitter traveling magnetic field prismatic shape. The magnetic field was carried out in running mode with a frequency of 50-100 Hz and a frequency field scanning 8-12 Hz when the value of the magnetic induction 15-20 MT daily for 10-12 minutes, the course is 10 sessions.

Boys with growth retardation randomly were divided into two groups: 1st group (35 people), which was used CRT and a control group (32 persons) - boys who did not receive CRT (placebo: emitters during the procedure were turned off). The results were evaluated through 1-1,5 month after CRT. According to the survey results patients of the 1st group were divided into two subgroups (see table): 1A - 28 boys where REP is Pnom determining the levels of sex hormones was observed an increase on average by 25% or more from the original values, and 1B - 7 boys who have indicators of sex hormones has not changed by more than 10%. In the control group-placebo (32 boy) indicators of sex hormones increased by no more than 25% from the original values.

Thus, 28 boys 1A group conducted using transcranial magnetic therapy has been identified functional nature of the delay of sexual development, which allowed unlike the prototype method to eliminate additional invasive procedures, long stay near the laboratory between samples. No reliably positive results in children of the control group-placebo who were administered placebo treatments, demonstrates the direct effect of magnetic field on the brain structures and excludes positive placebo effect.

To confirm the identified organic pathology (i.e. non-functional) 7 boys 1B group, have not recorded a positive performance of transcranial the th magnetotherapy (increase sex hormone levels did not exceed 25%), was conducted stimulation test with diphereline on the prototype method, the results of which have 6 children stimulated LH did not exceed 10 mIU/L. these patients was diagnosed gipogonadotropny hypogonadism (organic delayed sexual development).

With repeated follow-up examination after one year from the beginning of the survey in 25 (82,3%) boys 1A group revealed positive dynamics of the flow of puberty and the increase of sex hormones. This proves that the increasing concentrations of at least two hormones, including testosterone, not less than 25% from the original values indicates the functional character of delayed sexual development, and the lack of improvement or increasing concentrations of the two hormones, including testosterone, less than 25% from the original values - about the organic nature of the delay of sexual development.

Example 1.

Patient A., 14.5 years. The boy was admitted to the Department of propaedeutics of children's diseases, pediatric endocrinology and diabetology, Saratov State medical University n.a. Viethumble complaining of delayed growth and sexual development. In the initial examination was delayed physical development: growth=140 cm, weight=32 kg, BMI=16,3 kg/m2, SDS growth=-2, SDS BMI=-1. When assessing sexual development identified coubertain the e size of the genital organs: the volume of gonads 3,5/3 ml, penis length 4 cm, sexual development corresponded to the 1st stage of puberty by Tanner (P1G1). When hormonal examination revealed low values of sex hormones: LH=1,0 mIU/l, FSH=1,6 mIU/l, T=1.7 nmol/L.

To determine the nature of the delay of puberty, the patient was applied transcranial magnetic therapy using the apparatus "AMO-ATOS" with the prefix "Headband" (registration certificate №SDF 2009/04781). The exposure was carried out with an alternating magnetic field in the running mode with a frequency of 50 Hz and a frequency field scanning 8 Hz when the value of magnetic induction of 15 MT daily for 11 minutes, a course of 10 treatments. 1 month after the holding magnet therapy re-examined the levels of sex hormones, which amounted to: LH=1,27 mIU/l, FSH=2,02 mIU/l, T=2.21 nmol/L. According to the results of hormonal inspection revealed an increase in LH 27%, FSH on 26,25%, T by 30%. Thus, increasing the concentration of the two hormones of the three investigated, namely LH and T, more than 25% testified about the functional nature of the delay of sexual development.

Long-term results during the follow-up examination of the patient after 1 year showed a significant improvement in physical and sexual development: growth=148 cm, weight=37 kg, BMI=16,9 kg/m2, SDS growth=-1,6; SDS BMI=of 0,95; the volume of gonads 4,5/5 ml, the length of a sexual member is=4.5 cm, sexual development was consistent with stage 2 of puberty by Tanner (P2G2). Hormonal examination revealed a significant increase of the values of sex hormones: LH=a 1.8 mIU/l, FSH=to 2.5 mIU/l, T=4.3 nmol/L. Thus, the trigger to stimulate hormonal profile this boy survived for quite a long time, which has led to improved levels of physical and sexual development and confirmed the presence of a functional nature, delay of sexual development.

Example 2.

Patient M., aged 14. The boy was admitted to the Department of propaedeutics of children's diseases, pediatric endocrinology and diabetology, Saratov State medical University n.a. Viethumble complaining of delayed growth and sexual development. The examination detected a delay in physical development: growth=138 cm, weight=34 kg, BMI=17.8 kg/m2, SDS growth=-2,2; SDS BMI=-0,16. When assessing sexual development identified daubentonia the sizes of genitals: the volume of gonads 3/3 ml, penis length 4 cm, sexual development corresponded to the 1st stage of puberty by Tanner (P1G1). When hormonal examination revealed low values of sex hormones: LH=0,6 mIU/l, FSH=1,3 mIU/l, T=0.83 nmol/L.

The patient was held transcranial magnetic therapy using the apparatus "AMO-ATOS" with the prefix "Headband". The impact has been displaced is owned by a magnetic field in a running mode with a frequency of 100 Hz and a frequency of the scan field 12 Hz when the value of the magnetic induction 20 MT daily for 10 minutes, the course is 10 sessions. 1 month after the holding magnet therapy re-examined the levels of sex hormones, which amounted to: LH=0,75 mIU/l, FSH=1,66 mIU/l, T=1.2 nmol/L. According to the results of hormonal inspection revealed an increase in LH 25%, FSH on 27,69%, T 44,58%. Thus, increasing the concentration of the two hormones of the three investigated, namely LH and T, more than 25% testified about the functional nature of the delay of sexual development. Long-term results during the follow-up examination of the patient after 1 year showed a significant improvement in physical and sexual development: growth=142 cm, weight=40 kg, BMI=19.8 kg/m2, SDS growth=-1,43; SDS BMI=+0,8; the volume of gonads 4,5/5 ml, penis length=4.5 cm, sexual development corresponded to stage 2 of puberty by Tanner (P2G2). Hormonal examination revealed a significant increase of the values of sex hormones: LH=1,2 mIU/l, FSH=2,2 mIU/l, T=1.9 nmol/L. Thus, this method of determining the functional delay sexual development simultaneously adjusts functional delay sexual development through an additional course of treatment.

Example 3.

Patient O., 13.5 years. The boy was admitted to the Department of propaedeutics of children's diseases, pediatric endocrinology and diabetology, Saratov State medical University n.a. Viezu who's complaining of delayed growth and sexual development. The examination detected a delay in physical development: growth=148 cm, weight=35 kg, BMI=15,98 kg/m2, SDS growth=-1,14; SDS BMI=-0,96. When assessing sexual development identified daubentonia the sizes of genitals: the volume of gonads 3/3 ml, penis length 3 cm, sexual development corresponded to the 1st stage of puberty by Tanner (P1G1). When hormonal examination revealed low values of sex hormones: LH=0,1 mIU/l, FSH=1,8 mIU/l, T=1.2 nmol/L.

To determine the nature of the delay of puberty, the patient was held transcranial magnetic therapy using the apparatus "AMO-ATOS" with the prefix "Headband". The exposure was carried out with an alternating magnetic field in the running mode with a frequency of 50 Hz and a frequency field scanning 8 Hz when the value of magnetic induction of 15 MT daily for 11 minutes, a course of 10 treatments. 1 month after the holding magnet therapy re-examined the levels of sex hormones, which amounted to: LH=0,1 mIU/l, FSH=1,9 mIU/l, T=1,34 nmol/L. According to the results of hormonal research, improved hormonal profile (T, LH, FSH) does not exceed 25%, which was indicative of organic pathology in this boy.

To confirm the organic nature of the delay of sexual development (identify gipogonadotropny hypogonadism) patient was held diphereline sample (0.1 mg). After 1 hour, the level art is melirovanie LH corresponded to 3.3 mIU/l, after 4 hours and 4.4 mIU/l, 24 hours to 2.5 mIU/L. I.e. the lack of increase in luteinizing hormone in the background stimulation diphereline confirmed organic nature of the delay of sexual development. Long-term results during the follow-up examination of the patient after 1 year showed no increase in hormone levels and improve clinical data. In connection with which the child was assigned to hormone replacement therapy.

Thus, the above examples confirm that the claimed method allows effective to determine the nature of the delay of sexual development in boys during puberty with growth retardation.

The method of determining the nature of the delay of sexual development in boys during puberty with growth retardation, including examination by defining in their blood concentrations of luteinizing hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone and total testosterone, comparing the obtained values with standard values for children of this age group, characterized in that the survey distinguish the boys from the absence or insufficiency in their blood concentrations of at least two hormones, including testosterone, and hold them rate transcranial magnetic therapy by affecting the brain structures daily 10 -12 min running an alternating magnetic field with a frequency of 50-100 Hz bitemporal scanning the mode and frequency field scanning 8-12 Hz when the value of the magnetic induction 15-20 MT, the course is 10 sessions, then after 1-1,5 month re-determine the concentration of these hormones, and in the case of increasing concentrations of at least two hormones, including testosterone, not less than 25% from the original values make a conclusion about the functional nature of the delay of sexual development, and in the absence of enhancing or increasing concentrations of the two hormones, including testosterone, less than 25% from the original values - about the organic nature of the delay of sexual development.
