Title of the Congress : 9th Joint Meeting of Pediatric Endocrinology
Title of your Abstract : Glibenclamide and repaglinide therapy in two
infants with diabetic ketoacidosis and mutation
in KCNJ11 gene
Venue : Milan
From : Thursday, September 19, 2013
To : Sunday, September 22, 2013
Abstract(Please copy/paste the abstract send to the congress) : Introduction: Activating mutation of potassium inwardly-rectifying channel
J, member 11 (KCNJ11) that encodes Kir6.2 has been associated with permanent
neonatal diabetes mellitus (PNDM).
Objective: Here two infants with mutation in this gene are presented who
responded to two types of sulfonylurea therapy.
Method: The patients genomic DNA was isolated from peripheral blood leukocytes
using the salting-out method [PCR amplification followed by direct
sequencing (Genbank NM000525.3)]. Self-monitoring of blood glucose (BG)
was done before and 2 hours after milk or foods. IBM SPSS 19 was used for
analysis.
Case studies:
Case 1 was a 50 day old girl with poor feeding and fever since 5 days before
entry. Physical examination (PE): 10% dehydration, lethargy, weight (W):3.7
kg, height (H):52 Cm. respiratory rate (RR):69/min, temperature (T):39.4°C.
Lab. tests: BG, 750 mg/dL; blood pH, 6.88; HCO3, < 3 mEq/L; keton, +2;
serum Na, 162 mEq/L; insulin, 0.5 μIU/mL.
Case 2 was a 3.5-month old girl with polyuria, fever and vomiting since10
days before. PE: dehydration, lethargy, RR:45, W:5 kg, H:58 Cm. Lab. Tests:
BG, 500 mg/dL; blood pH, 6.98; HCO3, < 3.9 mEq/L; keton,+2; serum Na,
144 mEq/L; insulin, 0.63 μIU/mL. After treatment of ketoacidosis, insulin
therapy gradually changed to Glibenclamide (0.4 mg/kg/day divided to 3)
in both cases, but due to occurrence of hypo and hyperglycemia in case 2, it
was changed to repaglinide (0.046mg/kg/day divided to 8 times, before every
milk). Genetic study revealed R201H mutation (Arginine to histidine) in
KCNJ11 gene in both of them.
Last visit:
Case 1: age, 23 months; W:13.7 (50% of CDC2000 curves), H:86 Cm (50%),
mean ± SD of blood glucose (MBG):129.5 ± 34.5; HbA1C: 3.9%.
Case 2: age, 10 months; W:8 kg, H:69 Cm (both10-25%); MBG:122.59 ±
19.6, HbA1C:4.8%. There was no significant difference between MBG in 2
cases (P>0.05).
Conclusion: Every infant with PNDM may have a genetic mutation that responds
to sulfonylurea treatment.

The Congress Reporting Form
How many volunteers were present at the Congress? : 4500
Delegates from which countries presented in the congress? : 70 countries totally from USA, Canada, Europe, Africa, Middle East, Eastern countries
Were the delegates of any other organizations present in the congress? : Yes
If yes, please write the names of the organizations in the box : ESPE, PES, APEG. APPES, ASPAE, JSPE, SLEP
What were the responses to your talking points? Were specific questions or concerns raised? : Very good response and they asked me about the possibility of genetic study in Iran and some of them were amazed. Some of them said that it is good experience about oral treatment of neonatal diabetes.
If you met staff members, please list their full names & positions. : Professor Francisco Chiarelli, Professor Martin O Savage
Please inform us if there are any follow up actions we need to talk with the members of the congress : We can organize true international congress in Iran not only by the name but really international ones. It can bring money for us and also increase tourism in Iran. The necessary thing is establishing the congress in English language and to inform all the members of medical organizations by internet. In this congress and previous ones that I have attended, many persons were willing to participate in Iranian congress not only for attending scientific programs but also for seeing Iran as a historical country. We should prepare our Congress centers for areas of poster presentation and commercial exhibition and toilets for foreigners. We can manage interaction sessions with using clickers and make good questions and answers parts. .
Your experiences about the travel processes(Providing ticket, accommodation,...) : There was no new experience.
Please give a briefing of your own observations and outcomes of the congress: : I regret about the big congress centers that I see everywhere that I go. Why we do not have such facilities in Iran. Even the congress centers that have established in Tehran do not have the standards of these centers abroad. Our architects should see these centers before planning these buildings. There is no poster area that all of the posters can be presented during all of the days of congress. There is no commercial exhibition area and the companies should stand in the corridors. In the scientific points of view, there were many new topics in pediatric endocrinology. They had discovered new pathways in steroidogenesis by Tandem Mass Spectrometry that we do not have this technology in Iran. Many new proteins were discovered that can interprete the pathogenesis of diseases. The new treatments of different disorders in the field of pediatric endocrinology and diabetes were described
