Abstract
The Pierre Mauriac syndrome described in the year 1930, is characterized by growth failure, cushingoid appearance, hepatomegaly and hypertransaminasemia, in a patient with chronic uncontrolled DM1. The most common age of presentation is usually in adolescence, although cases have been described in both children and adults. The hallmark of this syndrome is extreme liver enlargement from massive acucumulation of glycogen. The diagnosis of hepatopathy requires high clinical suspicion and the presence of glycogen accumulation must be corroborated with a liver biopsy. The accumulation of glycogen in hepatocytes is partly caused by long periods of hyperglycemia, in which glucose enters the hepatocyte independently of insulin and is converted to glycogen. Mauriac syndrome is currently a rare cause of liver disease, due to improvements in control and treatment of patients with DM1. However, some cases are described in people with complicated social situations or without therapeutic compliance. This is a reversible condition after improvement in glycemic control with adequate insulinization. For this reason, we believe it convenient to suspect this clinical picture in patients with poor glycemic control and symptoms of pain and abdominal distension.

Abstract
The liver is a major store of glycogen and is essential in maintaining systemic glucose homeostasis. In healthy individuals, glycogen synthesis and breakdown in the liver are tightly regulated. Abnormal glycogen metabolism results in prominent pathological changes in the liver, often manifesting as hepatic glycogenosis or glycogen inclusions. This can occur in genetic glycogen storage disease or acquired conditions with insulin dysregulation such as diabetes mellitus and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease or medication effects. Some primary hepatic tumors such as clear cell hepatocellular carcinoma also demonstrate excessive glycogen accumulation. This review provides an overview of the pathological manifestations and molecular mechanisms of liver diseases associated with abnormal glycogen accumulation.

Abstract
Net synthesis of pancreatic β-cells peaks before 2 years of life. β-Cell mass is set within the first 5 years of life. In-frame translational readthrough of the NRP1 gene exon 9 into intron 9 generates a truncated neuropilin-1 protein lacking downstream sequence necessary for binding VEGF that stimulates β-cell replication. VEGF is critical for developing but not adult islet neogenesis. Herein we show that cells in human pancreatic islets containing the full-length neuropilin-1 possess insulin but cells that contain the truncated neuropilin-1 are devoid of insulin. Decreased insulin cells increases susceptibility to onset of type 1 diabetes at a younger age. We also show that the frequency of a genetic marker in NRP1 intron 9 is higher among patients with onset of type 1 diabetes before age 4 years (31.8%), including those with onset at 0.67-2.00 and 2-4 years, compared with that in patients with onset at 4-8 years, at 8-12 years, and after 16 years (16.1%) with frequency equal to that in subjects without diabetes (16.0%). Decreased insulin cells plus the genetic data are consistent with a low effect mechanism that alters the onset of type 1 diabetes to a very young age in some patients, thus supporting the endotype concept that type 1 diabetes is a heterogeneous disease.

Abstract
Background We describe a case of Mauriac syndrome, which is a rare complication of poorly controlled type I diabetes that combines glycogenosis, hepatomegaly, growth retardation with a Cushingoid appearance that is most often present in children but also in young adults. Here we also describe another finding with this syndrome, which is hyperlactatemia. Case presentation The case is of a 16-year-old female of North African ethnicity with history of poorly controlled type I diabetes who was brought to the emergency department for dyspnea and tachycardia, treated initially for diabetic ketoacidosis. Her persistent hyperlactatemia helped to reveal a more subtle condition known as Mauriac syndrome after multiple examinations and follow-up. Conclusions This case reports shows that Mauriac syndrome is a rare condition that should be considered in a setting of poorly controlled type I diabetes, hepatomegaly, Cushingoid appearance, and hyperlactatemia. The current treatment of this condition is a strict control of blood glucose levels with an attempt to achieve an acceptable glycated hemoglobin value.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The purpose of this review is to summarize the current literature on the subject of linear growth in children and adolescents with or at risk for type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). RECENT FINDINGS Poor glycemic control in T1DM is associated with growth hormone resistance, and improving glycemic control can improve linear growth. Newer reports suggest that the increasingly popular very low carbohydrate diets, may reduce linear growth velocity. SUMMARY Linear growth during childhood is a complex process regulated influenced by genetic, hormonal, nutritional and environmental factors. Linear growth may be impaired in children with T1DM, correlating with poor metabolic control; an extreme example is Mauriac syndrome. This decrement in linear growth appears to be driven in part by a reduction in growth hormone responsiveness, leading to low insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) levels. Improving glycemic control can lead to improved IGF-1 levels and linear growth. Other factors associated with poor linear growth in T1DM include celiac disease and dietary alterations, with early reports suggesting that very low carbohydrate diets, if not carefully managed, may increase risk of attenuated linear growth. This review examines the latest data regarding the associations between T1DM and linear growth in children.

Abstract
Autoimmune destruction of pancreatic β-cells results in the permanent loss of insulin production in type 1 diabetes (T1D). The daily necessity to inject exogenous insulin to treat hyperglycemia leads to a relative portal vein insulin deficiency and potentiates hypoglycemia which can induce weight gain, while daily fluctuations of blood sugar levels affect the hepatic glycogen storage and overall metabolic control. These, among others, fundamental characteristics of T1D are associated with the development of two distinct, but in part clinically similar hepatopathies, namely non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and glycogen hepatopathy (GlyH). Recent studies suggest that NAFLD may be increasingly common in T1D because more people with T1D present with overweight and/or obesity, linked to the metabolic syndrome. GlyH is a rare but underdiagnosed complication hallmarked by extremely brittle metabolic control in, often young, individuals with T1D. Both hepatopathies share clinical similarities, troubling both diagnosis and differentiation. Since NAFLD is increasingly associated with cardiovascular and chronic kidney disease, whereas GlyH is considered self-limiting, awareness and differentiation between both condition is important in clinical care. The exact pathogenesis of both hepatopathies remains obscure, hence licensed pharmaceutical therapy is lacking and general awareness amongst physicians is low. This article aims to review the factors potentially contributing to fatty liver disease or glycogen storage disruption in T1D. It ends with a proposal for clinicians to approach patients with T1D and potential hepatopathy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Mauriac syndrome was described in 1930 as a peculiar combination of poorly controlled diabetes mellitus type 1, stunted growth and glycogenic hepatopathy. More recently, lactic acidosis was recognized as an additional feature, often induced by insulin treatment. CASE PRESENTATION A 17-year old girl known for diabetes type 1A and Mauriac syndrome was admitted to the emergency room with hyperglycemia of > 41 mmol/l without ketoacidosis. Under a standard insulin regimen, hyperglycemia was rapidly corrected but marked hyperlactatemia occurred. CONCLUSIONS The mechanism of impaired glucose utilization and lactate elevation independent of ketoacidosis in Mauriac syndrome is intriguing. The rarity of Mauriac syndrome and its resemblance to glycogen storage diseases suggest the presence of a specific metabolic or genetic predisposition that remains to be identified.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mauriac syndrome is a rare consequence of poorly controlled insulin-dependent diabetes, characterized by hepatomegaly, growth failure, delayed onset of puberty, and cushingoid features. Case reports of patients with Mauriac syndrome are found infrequently in the literature given historic improvements in diabetes management due to readily available insulin therapy. METHODS We describe a case of a 14-year-old girl who presented with acute onset abdominal pain, distention, and orthopnea. RESULTS She had a history of poorly controlled insulin-dependent diabetes as well as short stature. Abdominal imaging revealed impressive hepatomegaly. Laboratory testing showed markedly elevated triglycerides and cholesterol. Mauriac syndrome was suspected and diagnosed by liver biopsy, which demonstrated significant glycogenic hepatopathy. CONCLUSIONS This case provides an illustrative example of Mauriac syndrome in a child who did not experience delayed onset of puberty and continued to have regular menses unlike what has been previously described. Furthermore, this case highlights the important consideration for significant dyslipidemia in patients with Mauriac syndrome and discusses the challenges of controlling insulin-dependent diabetes in the adolescent population.

Abstract
Mauriac syndrome is a very rare syndrome that occurs in poorly controlled type 1 diabetes mellitus with diabetic complications. Its cardinal features include delayed growth and puberty, hepatomegaly, and moon faces. These features were attributed mainly to insulin deficiency and sub-optimal diabetic management. Its incidence is decreasing due to the newer insulin formulation and intensive blood glucose control. Early recognition and management of this syndrome may improve the outcome of these patients. Recently, there are increasing reports of this syndrome. Here, we present the cases of two adolescent males with type 1 diabetes who presented with the classical features of Mauriac syndrome.

Abstract
Case presentation We report a case of severe glycogenic hepatopathy in a 17-year-old boy with poorly controlled type 1 diabetes. On presentation, major findings included unexplained pronounced hepatomegaly and increased liver enzymes, ferritin, and triglycerides. Histology and electron microscopy evaluation showed severe glycogen storage, steatosis, and signs of fibrosis, resembling the histomorphological findings of Mauriac syndrome. After information about the nature of the disease and intensification of insulin therapy with insulin pump, liver enzymes, ferritin, and triglycerides normalized within 1 month. Conclusion Glycogenic hepatopathy is a rare but important potential complication in poorly controlled juvenile diabetic patients. With improved metabolic control, it is fully reversible.

Abstract
There are a variety of less common diffuse liver diseases that can be asymptomatic or cause severe liver dysfunction. For the majority of them, the association of clinical, laboratory, and imaging findings are needed to narrow the differential diagnosis. In this article, we will review and describe the rarer diffuse liver diseases including drug-related liver disease, inflammatory and infectious diseases, and deposition disorders such as amyloidosis, glycogen storage disease, Wilson's disease, and alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency. Abdominal radiologists should be familiar with the imaging features of different types of diffuse liver diseases to help the multidisciplinary team involved in the treatment of these patients. The data related to some of these conditions are scarce and sometimes experimental, but we want to demonstrate to the reader the value of imaging techniques in their analysis and introduce the potential of new imaging methods.

Abstract
Background Hepatic glycogenosis is characterized by excessive glycogen accumulation in hepatocytes and represents a complication of poor controlled type 1 diabetes. It can be caused by excessive insulin doses or recurrent ketoacidosis episodes. Mauriac’s syndrome is a rare disease, which includes short stature, growth maturation delay, dyslipidemia, moon facies, protuberant abdomen, hepatomegaly with transaminase elevation. It has become even less common after the emergence of advances on diabetes treatment, but still exists. Recent reports described glycogenosis without the full spectrum of Mauriac’s syndrome in both adults and children with brittle diabetes. Clinical, laboratory and histological abnormalities are reversible with appropriate glycemic control. Case presentation We hereby report a case of 11-year-old male who presented with hepatic glycogenosis mimicking Mauriac’s syndrome. The patient was admitted at our Pediatric Diabetes Clinic for marked hepatomegaly, short stature and for the poor metabolic control. Blood investigations and liver tests excluded most of major causes of hepatopathy. A liver biopsy allowed us to make diagnosis of hepatic glycogenosis. To control hyperglycaemia, initially we titrated daily insulin dosage, and then intravenous insulin treatment was practiced with the consequent normalization of liver enzymes. Conclusion Mauriac’s syndrome should be considered in subjects with brittle type 1 diabetes and hepatomegaly.

Abstract
Glycogenic hepatopathy (GH) is a rare complication of the poorly controlled diabetes mellitus characterized by the transient liver dysfunction with elevated liver enzymes and associated hepatomegaly caused by the reversible accumulation of excess glycogen in the hepatocytes. It is predominantly seen in patients with longstanding type 1 diabetes mellitus and rarely reported in association with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Although it was first observed in the pediatric population, since then, it has been reported in adolescents and adults with or without ketoacidosis. The association of GH with hyperglycemia in diabetes has not been well established. One of the essential elements in the pathophysiology of development of GH is the wide fluctuation in both glucose and insulin levels. GH and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) are clinically indistinguishable, and latter is more prevalent in diabetic patients and can progress to advanced liver disease and cirrhosis. Gradient dual-echo MRI can distinguish GH from NAFLD; however, GH can reliably be diagnosed only by liver biopsy. Adequate glycemic control can result in complete remission of clinical, laboratory and histological abnormalities. There has been a recent report of varying degree of liver fibrosis identified in patients with GH. Future studies are required to understand the biochemical defects underlying GH, noninvasive, rapid diagnostic tests for GH, and to assess the consequence of the fibrosis identified as severe fibrosis may progress to cirrhosis. Awareness of this entity in the medical community including specialists is low. Here we briefly reviewed the English literature on pathogenesis involved, recent progress in the evaluation, differential diagnosis, and management.

Abstract
Cardiac fibrosis, as a pathological process, plays an important role in various cardiac diseases. microRNA-155 (miR-155) is one of the most important miRNAs, and previous studies have shown that it is a regulatory factor in various fibrotic diseases. However, the mechanism by which miR-155 affects myocardial fibrosis remains unclear. In this study, we aim to establish the biological function of miR-155 in myocardial fibrosis induced by diabetes in mice. We used normal C57BL/6 wild type (WT) and miR-155 knockout (KO) mice to establish the diabetic model by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin, and we utilized echocardiography to evaluate the cardiac function at 30 and 60 days post-modeling. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) and sirius-red (SR) staining were used to evaluate the degree of myocardial lesions. Furthermore, we extracted cardiac fibroblasts (CFs) from the WT mice and transfected them with miR-155 inhibitors, mimics and negative control siRNAs to analyze the specific mechanism involved in the development of myocardial fibrosis. The results showed that miR-155 deficiency could prevent cardiac fibrosis induced by diabetes in mice and also that attenuated collagen synthesis is induced by high glucose (HG) in CFs. We found that miR-155 regulated cardiac fibrosis via the TGF-β1-Smad 2 signaling pathway. These findings suggest that miR-155 may be a therapeutic target for preventing cardiac fibrosis induced by diabetes.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW As the incidence of type 1 diabetes (T1DM) continues to rise, complications including impairment of childhood growth remain a major concern. This review provides an overview of alterations in growth patterns before and after the onset of T1DM. RECENT FINDINGS Recent advances in this field include several prospective investigations of height and weight trajectories in children leading up to the development of islet autoimmunity and T1DM as well as evaluations of larger cohorts of T1DM patients to better assess predictors of altered growth. In addition, genetic and metabolic investigations have improved our understanding of the more rare severe growth impairment of Mauriac Syndrome. SUMMARY Despite advances in medical care of children with T1DM, growth remains suboptimal in this population and likely reflects ongoing metabolic derangement linked with classic microvascular diabetic complications.
