目的 探讨碘131（131I）治疗后Graves眼病（GO）预后与血清促甲状腺激素受体抗体（TRAb）水平变化之间的关系。 方法 选择2011年5月－12月初发Graves病患者238例，分为GO组124 例和非GO组114 例，分别检测131I治疗前及131I治疗后2、3、6个月甲状腺功能和TRAb，GO患者131I治疗前和治疗后6 个月进行临床活动度评分（CAS）。 结果 131I治疗前各组TRAb水平差异无统计学意义（P＞0.05），TRAb水平与GO CAS评分之间无相关；131I治疗后6个月所有患者TRAb水平显著增加；非GO组有5例新发GO，新发GO组与其他患者的TRAb水平分别为（58.7 ± 77.9）、（61.9 ± 81.1）U/L，差异无统计学意义（P＞0.05）；GO组又分为GO无变化29例，GO加重17例，GO缓解78例，三组患者TRAb水平分别为（53.5 ± 77.6）、（66.2 ± 89.9）、（66.8 ± 42.2）U/L，差异无统计学意义（P＞0.05）。 结论 131I治疗后患者TRAb水平显著增加，但TRAb水平的变化和GO预后无关，TRAb与GO的关系还需要进一步研究。
To study the relationship between the level of serum thyrotropin receptor antibody (TRAb) and the severity of Crave′s disease. From August, 1996 to June, 1998, 156 outpatients with Crave′s disease were followed up. The level of serum TRAb were measured by radio-receptor-analysis (RRA). Results: ①The level of serum TRAb rose in 90.1% of the untreated group; ②The level of serum TRAb restored to normal after the antithyroid drugs were used and the thyroxine level in serum returned to normal; ③In recurrent patients with the treatment of131I, drugs or operation, the serum TRAb level increased. Conclusion: The level of serum TRAb has great significance in the diagnosis, treatment and follow up of the Crave′s disease.
Thirty patients with heperthyroidism were investigated for triiodothyronine (T3), thyroxine (T4), thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), thyromicrosome antibody (TMA), thyroglobulin antibody (TGA) and hydrocortisone before and after operation. The levels of serum T3, T4, TGA, TMA were markedly decreased after operation, and the level of hydrocortisone farther decreased from the preoperative low level. But only a little decrease in TSH level was found as compared with that before operation. The assay of these hormones and antibodies has very important clinical significance for judgement of the effect of operation and prevention of crisis of hyperthyroidism.
Objective To investigate the therapeutic effects of thyroid hormone replacement on critically ill COPD patients with low serum thyroid hormone. Methods Sixty-seven critically ill patients with acute exacerbation of COPD ( AECOPD) , and complicated with respiratory and/ or heart failure and low serum thyroid hormone, admitted from July 2008 to June 2011, were recruited for the study. They were randomly divided into an intervention group ( n = 34) and a control group ( n = 33) . The control group received conventional treatment and the intervention group received conventional treatment plus additional thyroid hormone replacement therapy. Results Compared with the control group, the overall efficacy of the intervention group was not significantly different ( 88. 2% vs. 81. 8% , P gt; 0. 05) , while average effective time was significantly shorter [ ( 9. 6 ±2. 5) d vs. ( 12. 3 ±2. 8) d, P lt; 0. 05] . The post-treatment serum FT3 , FT4 , TT4 , and h-TSH levels were significantly higher in the intervention group than those in the control group, and significantly higher than baseline ( P lt;0. 05) . Conclusions For AECOPD patients complicated with respiratory and/or heart failure and low serum thyroid hormone, thyroid hormone supplement at low dosage will help to improve serumthyroid hormone level, and promote early recovery.
Objective To investigate the changes of thyroid hormone level in patients with nonsmall cell lung cancer ( NSCLC) before and after chemotherapy and its clinical significance.Methods 78 cases of NSCLC admitted between January 2009 and December 2011 were recruited in the study. The level of total triiodothyronine ( TT3 ) , total thyroxine ( TF4 ) , free triiodothyronine ( FT3 ) , free thyroxine ( FT4 ) , and thyroid stimulating hormone ( TSH) were measured by radioimmunoassay before and after chemotherapy. 35 normal subjects were recruited as control.Results The levels of TT3 [ ( 1. 27 ±0. 36) nmol /L vs. ( 2. 62 ±0. 46) nmol /L] and FT3 [ ( 2. 65 ±0. 76) pmol /L vs. ( 3. 79 ±0. 63) pmol /L] in the NSCLC patients were significantly lower than those in the controls ( P lt;0. 05) , while the levels of TT4 , FT4 and TSH were similar to the controls. The level of TT3 and FT3 were correlated with clinical stage ( P lt; 0. 05) , and not with histological grade and pathological type ( P gt;0. 05) . The levels of TT3 and FT3 were remarkably increased in complete remission or partial remission patients after chemotherapy ( P lt; 0. 05) . Conclusion Thyroid hormone measurement may be useful in the patients condition judgment and therapeutic effect monitoring.
The shortage of donor heart and the lack of satisfactory donor heart are embarrassing heart transplantation. With the development of the study of the effects of thyroid hormone（TH） on cardiovascular system, amazing achievement has been obtained. TH could improve the quality of donor heart, increase successful rate and reduce mortality of heart transplantation. In the mean time ,some donor hearts that could not be used originally had been used after TH application, thus expanded donor pool. TH has been a routine treatment measure in heart transplantation in many heart centers. The application of TH in heart transplantation has been reviewed in this article.
Objective To explore the impact of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) on early and late chondrogenic differentiation of rabbit bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) induced by transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1). Methods BMSCs were isolated from 3 healthy Japanese rabbits (2-month-old, weighing 1.6-2.1 kg, male or female), and were clutured to passage 3. The cells were put into pellet culture system and were divided into 5 groups according to different induce conditions: TGF-β1 group (group A), TGF-β1/bFGF group (group B), TGF-β1/21 days bFGF group (group C), TGF-β1/PTHrP group (group D), and TGF-β1/21 days PTHrP group (group E). At the beginning, TGF-β1 (10 ng/mL) was added to all groups, then bFGF and PTHrP (10 ng/mL) were added to groups B and D respectively; bFGF and PTHrP (10 ng/mL) were added to groups C and E at 21 days respectively. The gene expressions of collagen type I (Col I), Col II, Col X, matrix metalloproteinases (MMP)-13, and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity were detected once every week for 6 weeks. The 1, 9-dimethylmethylene blue (DMMB) staining was used to observe the extracellular matrix secretion at 6 weeks. Results The expression of Col I in groups C and E showed a significant downward trend after 3 weeks; the expression in group A was significantly higher than that in groups C and E at 4 and 5 weeks (P lt; 0.05), and than that in groups B and D at 3-6 weeks (P lt; 0.05); and significant differences were found between groups B and C at 3 and 4 weeks, and between groups D and E at 3 weeks (P lt; 0.05). After 3 weeks, the expressions of Col II and Col X in groups C and E gradually decreased, and were significantly lower than those in group A at 4-6 weeks (P lt; 0.05). Groups B and D showed no significant difference in the expressions of Col II and Col X at all time points, but there was significant difference when compared with group A (P lt; 0.05). MMP-13 had no obvious expression at all time points in group A; significant differences were found between group B and groups A, C at 3 weeks (P lt; 0.05); and the expression was significantly higher in group D than in groups A and E (P lt; 0.05). ALP activity gradually increased with time in group A; after 4 weeks, ALP activity in groups C and E obviously decreased, and was significantly lower than that in group A (P lt; 0.05); there were significant differences between groups B and C, and between groups D and E at 2 and 3 weeks (P lt; 0.05). DMMB staining showed more cartilage lacuna in group A than in the other groups at 6 weeks. Conclusion bFGF and PTHrP can inhibit early and late chondrogenic differentiation of BMSCs by changing synthesis and decomposition of the cartilage extracellular matrix. The inhibition is not only by suppressing Col X expression, but also possibly by suppressing other chondrogenic protein.
OBJECTIVE: To review the role of thyroid hormone in the peripheral nerve regeneration. METHODS: The recent literatures of experimental study and clinical application on the role of thyroid hormone in nerve regeneration were reviewed. The researches on expression, isoform and changes of thyroid hormones in rat sciatic nerve in normal or injury were summarized. The effect of thyroid hormone on local rat sciatic nerve was studied, too. RESULTS: Nuclear thyroid hormone receptors expressed in numerous nuclei of sciatic nerve during a limited period of development extending from the third week of embryonic life to the end of the second postnatal week and after injury of adult sciatic nerve. A single and local administration of thyroid hormone at the level of the transected sciatic nerve produced a lasting effect on peripheral nerve regeneration. CONCLUSION: The beneficial effects of thyroid hormones upon injured peripheral nerve may have considerable therapeutic potential.
