Preoperative Serum Thyroglobulin Levels Predict Radioiodine Therapy Outcome in Papillary Thyroid Microcarcinoma Patients
Horm Metab Res DOI: 10.1055/a-2291-0340Our previous study showed that elevated preoperative thyroglobulin (pre-Tg) level predicted the risk of developing radioiodine refractory in PTC patients. In the present study, we aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of pre-Tg in papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC). After a specific inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied, a total of 788 PTMCs were enrolled from Jiangyuan Hospital affiliated to Jiangsu Institute of Nuclear Medicine between Jan 2015 and Dec 2019. Among them, 107 PTMCs were treated with radioiodine ...

Thyroglobulin Antibodies and Tumor Epitope-Specific Cellular Immunity in Papillary Thyroid Cancer
Horm Metab Res DOI: 10.1055/a-2278-6549Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is characterized by T cell infiltration and frequently by the presence of anti-thyroglobulin antibodies (TgAbs). The role of cellular immunity and of TbAbs in this context is a matter of debate. The aim of our study was to correlate the presence of TgAbs, tumor epitope-specific T cells and the clinical outcome of PTC patients. We studied n=183 consecutive patients with a diagnosis of PTC which were treated with total thyroidectomy plus 131I ablation. During a follow-up of in mean 97 months,...

International Roadshow: New Advances in Endocrinology and Metabolic Diseases
Horm Metab Res 2024; 56: 259-260 DOI: 10.1055/a-2256-7180Dear Readers,Currently, there is a myriad of new developments in the field of endocrinology. In particular, significant strides have been made in the development of poly-agonists for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity 1 2. Poly-agonists represent a novel therapeutic approach by combining multiple actions within a single molecule, targeting multiple receptors simultaneously to achieve enhanced efficacy. These innovative compounds aim to address the complex interplay of hormonal pathways involve...

Cross-Talk Between Thyroid Disorders and Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease: From Pathophysiology to Therapeutics
Horm Metab Res DOI: 10.1055/a-2276-7973The medical community acknowledges the presence of thyroid disorders and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Nevertheless, the interconnection between these two circumstances is complex. Thyroid hormones (THs), including triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4), and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), are essential for maintaining metabolic balance and controlling the metabolism of lipids and carbohydrates. The therapeutic potential of THs, especially those that target the TRβ receptor isoform, is generating increasing ...

Correlation Between TRAb and Early Onset Hypothyroidism After 131I Treatment for Graves ʼ Disease
This study was a retrospective observation, including 226 patients who received the first 131I treatment. The general information and laboratory tests were collected before and after 131I treatment, and the laboratory data affecting the difference in disease outcome were analyzed. According to the changes of antibodies in the third month, whether the changes of antibodies were involved in the occurrence of early-onset hypothyroidism was analyzed. Early onset hypothyroidism occurred in 165 of 226 patients, and the results showed that the incidence of ea...

Lipid Profile Evolution in Graves ’ Disease Treated with Titration Regimen of Anti-Thyroid Drugs Versus Block and Replace Regimen
In this study were included 149 medically treated GD patients, aged+>+18 years. Pregnant women and patients treated with radioactive iodine therapy or partial/total thyroidectomy were excluded. Patients were divided into 2 subgroups: titration (A) and block and replace (B) therapy, according to the ATD regimen used. Thyroid and metabolic profile was measured at baseline and at least one visit during medical treatment. The whole group included 122 (81.87%) females (F) and 27 (18.12%) males (M), ratio F:M=4.5:1. As expected, at the time of diagnosis, ...

The Pathophysiological Associations Between Obesity, NAFLD, and Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Diseases
Horm Metab Res DOI: 10.1055/a-2266-1503Obesity, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases are common and growing public health concerns. Previous epidemiological studies unfolded the robust correlation between obesity, NAFLD, and atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases. Obesity is a well-known risk factor for NAFLD, and both of them can markedly increase the odds of atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases. On the other hand, significant weight loss achieved by lifestyle modification, bariatric surgery, or medications, s...

The Adrenal Gland and Pancreatic Islets – A Beneficial Endocrine Alliance
Horm Metab Res DOI: 10.1055/a-2256-6344Intraportal islet transplantation in patients with type 1 diabetes enables restoration of glucose-regulated insulin secretion. However, several factors hamper a widespread application and long-term success: chronic hypoxia, an inappropriate microenvironment and suppression of regenerative and proliferative potential by high local levels of immunosuppressive agents. Therefore, the identification of alternative and superior transplant sites is of major scientific and clinical interest. Here, we aim to evaluate the adrenal as an...
