The response of plasma oxytocin to surgical stress.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:Skewed X chromosome inactivation (XCI) was associated with female predominance in adult autoimmune thyroid disease (ATD). In normal females, skewed XCI is increased with age. Whether early-onset skewed XCI is associated with childhood ATD remains unknown. This study aimed to determine XCI skewing in paediatri...
