Correctly understand the relationship between growth hormone and bone age!

Many parents worry about the height of their children. It is very unscientific for some parents to use growth hormone casually so that their children can grow taller. Drug abuse may cause harm to their children.

children’s age is not equal to the child’s bone age

bone age may be a strange word to many parents, but bone age is a key factor in determining whether a child can continue to grow taller. Some parents will ask what is the difference between the age of the bone and the age of the child?

Children’s height is caused by the linear growth of bones. The cartilage at both ends of the long bones continuously grows. The epiphyseal cartilage continuously secretes osteoblasts and gradually ossifies, and the bones continue to grow. , The child will grow taller. When a child becomes an adult, all the epiphyseal cartilage is ossified, and the backbone is connected to the epiphysis. We call it in medicine that the epiphyseal line is closed. The bones no longer grow, and the growth of the person stops. Therefore, the height of a person is more related to bone maturity, that is, bone age, rather than to actual age. How does

predict bone age? Z1z

bone age cannot be judged by the naked eye and needs to be examined by X-ray. A large number of long bones and short bones are concentrated on the hands and wrists, reflecting the growth and maturity of the whole body bones. Clinically, the left wrist bone slices are often used to determine the bone age.

Bone age-a key to predict your height

According to bone age, actual age and height, you can predict the final adult height. Children of the same age may not necessarily have the same bone age, and their growth potential will vary greatly. For example, two girls of the same age are both 10 months after menarche. One has a bone age of 14 years and the other has a bone age of 13 years. Obviously, the latter has much more room for longer than the former. Some parents think that "I am still growing up until I am 17 or 18 years old, and my children can grow to 18 years old." Regardless of the bone age, only the age will obviously hinder the growth of the child. The key is that each person's development time is different.

growth hormone-the last saviour of not growing tall

growth hormone is a protein secreted by human pituitary cells. It is a peptide hormone. This type of hormone can stimulate the growth of osteoarticular cartilage and epiphyseal cartilage, so it can increase height. Growth hormone

was discovered by humans in 1920, and was not mass-produced and used until 1996. Growth hormone is currently the only effective treatment for growth hormone deficiency.

But there are two points to note:

The first point is that although growth hormone is currently recognized as the only safe and effective drug for the treatment of short stature in clinical practice, there are many reasons for short stature. Parents must take you The child goes to a regular professional pediatric hospital for medical treatment to ensure that the child can receive treatment correctly. The second point of

is the bone age. If the bone age is too old, that is, after the epiphyseal line is closed, the growth hormone treatment will be ineffective.

Growth hormone, the patient's choice

It is reported that Ansu Meng powder has the first market share of growth hormone powder. An Sumeng Recombinant Human Growth Hormone for Injection is a product of the National Torch Program and has won national new drugs, national key new products and other honors. Its specific activity is the highest among growth hormone powders, with a specific activity of 3.0, compared to other brands Growth hormone powder has obvious product advantages.

This time, An Sumeng Growth Hormone Liquid, developed by Anke Biological, is a new generation of growth hormone liquid. Compared with the first-generation growth hormone aqua, Ansumeng has the advantage of not adding preservatives. Preservative, also known as bacteriostatic agent, is an auxiliary material added to prevent growth hormone injection from being contaminated by bacteria. Phenol is usually used as a preservative in growth hormone liquid, and phenol is a toxic substance. Because it is toxic, bacteria can be prevented from growing in medicines. Under the technical conditions of the previous generation, growth hormone production can only extend the storage time of drugs by adding toxic preservatives. Although the concentration is in line with national regulations, there are still potential safety risks. Research shows: low-concentration phenol is mainly neurotoxic, reproductive toxicity, etc.; Anke Biological’s approved production of Ansu Meng liquid is a pre-filled growth hormone liquid, which is currently the only one in the world that does not The growth hormone liquid with preservatives has become the safest growth hormone liquid in the world. The advent of a new generation of growth hormone liquid also provides a safer choice for clinicians and patients.
