The aim of this study was twofold. Firstly to assess the post treatment predictive value of various biochemical and immunological tests for early hypothyroidism after 131I therapy for Graves' disease, and secondly to determine whether or not pretreatment with Carbimazole protects against post treatment hypothyroidism. The early changes observed in serum T3, T4, TSH, thyroid microsomal and thyroglobulin antibody levels were found to be of no predictive value. A sharp rise, around 2 months, in TRAb levels following 131I therapy indicated that hypothyroidism was likely to occur. This rise was thought to reflect a greater degree of thyroid damage. Lower levels of thyroglobulin in patients who had become hypothyroid by 12 months after treatment would support this view. Five weeks Carbimazole pretreatment in this relatively small group of patients did not appear to protect against hypothyroidism. 相似文献

Normalized T4 (T4N), total T3, T3 resin sponge uptake (T3U) and the response of TSH to TRH were determined in 264 patients sent for diagnosis of thyroid function. Many of these patients were diagnostic problem cases. Those with disease or medication known to invalidate the TRH test, but not those with abnormal thyroid hormone binding capacity in serum, were excluded. A free T3 index (FT3 index) was calculated as the product of total T3 and T3U.The FT3 index tended to decline with increasing age, the mean value being significantly higher in the youngest patients (12–20-years-old) than in the older age groups. In the diagnosis of hyperthyroidism, the FT3 index was superior not only to T4N but also to total T3, particularly in the presence of elevated hormone binding capacity (relatively low T3U). It is anticipated that the FT3 index will be most useful as a routine test for hyperthyroidism, especially in several (though not all) instances where the TRH test is invalidated. 相似文献

In four patients with disseminated papillary or follicular thyroid carcinoma metastatic sites could be demonstrated by scintigraphy with 201Tl. Uptake was present during TSH suppression with thyroid hormone administration. In three of the four cases 201Tl scanning revealed metastases while 131I uptake after triiodothyronine with-drawal was absent. In one patient 201Tl demonstrated some metastatic sites while both 131I uptake and thyroglobulin levels wer negative. Uptake of 201Tl in these metastases is at least partially, unrelated to the TSH and thyroglobulin levels or to the 131I-accumulating capacity. Scintigraphy using 201Tl might be helpful for the detection of metastatic thyroid carcinoma in those cases where 131I uptake is absent. 相似文献

To assess whether the patient preparation procedure for (131)I scintigraphy could be streamlined, we evaluated the time course of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) elevation after total thyroidectomy or after discontinuation of thyroxine (T(4)) in patients with thyroid cancer. METHODS: The clinical records of 284 patients with well-differentiated thyroid cancer were reviewed. All patients had undergone total thyroidectomy. Two groups of patients were evaluated. The immediate postoperative group consisted of 176 patients who were not given thyroid hormone replacement after surgery because of planned postoperative (131)I therapy. The surveillance group consisted of 108 patients in whom T(4) replacement was stopped (without triiodothyronine [T(3)] replacement) in preparation for surveillance whole-body (131)I scintigraphy. We recorded the first TSH measurement and number of days after surgery or without thyroid hormone for each patient. RESULTS: In the immediate postoperative group, TSH levels obtained 6-65 d (median, 17 d) after surgery ranged from 18.2 to 194.8 micro IU/mL (median, 46.6 micro IU/mL). The TSH values exceeded 30 micro IU/mL in 89% of patients evaluated at 1-2 wk, in 88% of those evaluated at 2-3 wk, and in 90% of those evaluated after 3 wk. In patients discontinuing T(4) (without T(3) replacement), TSH levels obtained from 6 to 35 d (median, 20 d) later ranged from 23.4 to 214.5 micro IU/mL (median, 61.1 micro IU/mL). The TSH levels exceeded 30 micro IU/mL in 100% of patients evaluated at 1-2 wk, in 89% of those evaluated at 2-3 wk, and in 96% of those evaluated after 3 wk. CONCLUSION: In most patients with thyroid cancer being prepared for (131)I imaging or therapy, a TSH level exceeding 30 micro IU/mL can be achieved by withdrawal of thyroid hormone therapy for 1-3 wk. 相似文献

Seventeen patients, screened from a neonatal programme for hypothyroidism were studied. As well as the scintigraphic investigations, serum TSH, T3, free T3, T4, free T4, and TBG were measured in all patients. Not more than 11.1 MBq (300 Ci) 99mTcO

was administered IV. A gamma camera with a parallel-hole collimator on line with the computer was used. The method allowed good statistics to be obtained in 5–10 min in a wide field of exploration, thus reducing the problems of positioning and prolonged immobilization of the young patient. The data collected in the computer were elaborated to define better the characteristics of the thyroid image. This kind of in vivo study introduced into a screening programme, enables an anatomic diagnosis of the defect to be obtained before starting the therapy. This is undoubtedly valuable from the epidemiological point of view, enables early determination of the degree of thyroid insufficiency, and contributes to the formulation of a prognosis based on the degree and on the moment in which prenatal harm occurred. 相似文献

颅脑损伤垂体前叶激素及甲状腺激素的动态变化 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11
目的:测定颅脑损伤后垂体和甲状腺功能,探讨其与脑伤程度的关系。方法:对24例开颅手术的颅脑损伤患者的血清卵泡刺激素(FSH)、黄体生成激素(LH)、促甲状腺激素(TSH)、三碘甲状腺原氨酸(T3)、甲状腺素(T4)、生长激素(GH)、催乳素(PRL)在伤后10天内作了动态观察。结果:手术前,脑损伤越重,FSH、LH、TSH、GH、PRL水平与对照组比较升高越明显(P<0.01,0.01,0.01,0.05,0.05),而且激素水平越高,预后越差,T3水平与对照组比较明显下降(P<0.05),T4水平无明显变化;手术后动态观察,FSH、LH、GH、PRL水平与手术前比较有不同程度下降,TSH、T3、T4水平与术前比较变化不明显;GH、LH、PRL水平下降幅度和程度越大,TSH水平持续升高,则预后越差。结论:脑损伤后垂体和甲状腺功能有明显变化,变化程度与颅脑损伤的严重程度有关。此项测定有助于判断脑伤程度和估计预后,并为临床治疗提供依据。 相似文献

Purpose As 131I therapy, used to achieve ablation of thyroid gland remnant, can cause chromosome damage in cultured peripheral lymphocytes
especially, we investigated whether administration of radioiodine may induce early genome damage in peripheral T lymphocytes
of adolescents with differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC).
Methods We studied 11 patients, aged 14.8 ± 3.1 years, who assumed 131I (range: 1.11–4.44 GBq) to ablate thyroid remnant. A blood sample for micronucleus assay and for evaluating expression of
some genes involved in the DNA repair or the apoptosis pathways was obtained from each patient 1 h before (T0) and 24 (T1) and 48 h (T2) post-radioiodine administration.
Results Compared to T0, we did not find any difference in the number of micronucleated cells at both T1 and T2 in any subject. Nine out of 11 patients had altered expression levels in a majority of the DNA repair and apoptosis genes
at T1, which decreased at T2.
Conclusions We demonstrated for the first time that peripheral cells of DTC children and adolescents who received 131I at a mean dosage of 3.50 ± 0.37 GBq did not show chromosome damage within 48 h from the end of radiometabolic therapy. This
may be due to a prompt activation of the cell machinery that maintains the integrity of the genome to prevent harmful double-strand
breaks from progressing to chromosome mutations, either by repairing the lesions or by eliminating the most seriously damaged
cells via apoptosis.

Objective
In the initial assessment of thyroid nodules, thyrotropin (TSH) has very low sensitivity for assessing functional thyroid nodules (FTNs). The false negativity in FTNs and the false positivity in non-FTNs misinterpreted by TSH will raise unnecessary assessment costs. Therefore, the aim of this study is to explore the values of the TSH and color flow Doppler sonography (CFDS) combined strategies in reducing the unnecessary assessment costs.Methods
2383 patients with thyroid nodules were retrospectively analyzed, including 107 FTNs and 2276 non-FTNs. Four strategies including TSH, CFDS, Combination 1 (TSH+/CFDS+, TSH+/CFDS?, and TSH?/CFDS+ defined as positive; TSH?/CFDS? defined as negative) and Combination 2 (TSH+/CFDS+ defined as positive; TSH+/CFDS?, TSH?/CFDS+, and TSH?/CFDS? defined as negative) were separately used for initial assessment. The four strategies were compared using the testing cost ratio of fine-needle aspiration (FNA) to thyroid scintigraphy (TS) (marked as CFNA/TS) as main outcome measure.Results
Compared with TSH, Combination 1 prevented 15.89 % of FTNs from unnecessary FNA, but increased the number of non-FTNs subjected to unnecessary 99mTc-TS by 9.31 %. Combination 2 prevented 5.32 % of non-FTNs from unnecessary TS, but increased the number of FTNs subjected to unnecessary FNA by 18.69 %. When CFNA/TS was <6.05, the lowest total cost was found in Combination 2. The TSH and Combination 1 were optimal at 6.05 ≤ CFNA/TS ≤ 12.47 and CFNA/TS > 12.47, respectively.Conclusions
The combined strategies can be used to supplement TSH in the initial assessment of thyroid nodules in iodine-adequate areas, depending on the testing costs of FNA and TS.12.

Kinetic parameters of 99mTc and 131I thyroid trapping were compared in 13 patients (30 dynamic studies). The data were analyzed with a six-compartment model including three compartments for extrathyroid spaces. There was a good correlation between the estimates of the total iodide and pertechnetate pools (V4+V5). As expected, the 14 loss rate constant for technetium was always higher than that for iodide.In five euthyroid patients, the unidirectional clearances (R41) with TcO4
– and I– were generally of the same magnitude. The effect of TSH stimulation appears to be identical for both isotopes: an increase of R41 and the total iodide and pertechnetate pool (V4+V5), a decrease of the isotope loss rate constant (14).In two untreated thyrotoxic patients, the unidirectional clearance of 99mTc was 2.5 times higher than that estimated with 131I. Under administration of antithyroid drug, unidirectional TcO4
– clearance was lower than that of iodide in the six patients studied.A similar and greater discrepancy between early 131I and 99mTc kinetics was observed in a patient with congenital goiter. The technetium thyroid trap was only slightly elevated, whereas unidirectional iodide clearance and (V4+V5) were clearly increased.This series of patients suggests that whereas there is a good correlation between early 131I and 99mTc kinetics in euthyroid subjects, a discrepancy exists in patients with spontaneous or acquired dyshormonogenesis. This is confirmed by the segmentary study of a patient with a nodule appearing hot on the 99mTc scintigram and cold on the 131I scan.Research supported by INSERM (CRL 7750943 B) 相似文献

Value of the first serum thyroglobulin level after total thyroidectomy for the diagnosis of metastases from differentiated thyroid carcinoma 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Giuseppe Ronga Mauro Filesi Guido Ventroni Anna Rita Vestri Alberto Signore 《European journal of nuclear medicine and molecular imaging》1999,26(11):1448-1452
The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic significance of the first serum thyroglobulin (Tg) measurement, performed
40 days after total thyroidectomy for differentiated thyroid carcinoma and prior to the ablation of residual thyroid tissue
by means of iodine-131 therapy. In a retrospective study we examined 334 consecutive patients followed up for 4–16 years by
means of regular Tg measurements, 131I whole-body scans (WBS) and other diagnostic techniques, if necessary. In 79 patients metastases were discovered (32 lymph
node and 47 distant metastases) within 18 months following thyroidectomy. Mean values of first Tg were significantly higher
in patients with than in patients without metastases (258.9±310.6 vs 15.9±19.6 ng/ml; P<0.0001). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis of data revealed that for first Tg values higher than 69.7
ng/ml, the positive predictive value for the presence of metastases exceeded 90%. No statistically significant correlation
was found between first Tg value and either thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) value or percentage of 131I uptake by residual thyroid tissue. No other parameter (age, histological type, site of metastases, 131I uptake by metastases) was significantly related to the first Tg value. We conclude that the first Tg measurement after total
thyroidectomy provides a useful early diagnostic indication of metastatic disease in spite of the presence of a post-surgical
thyroid remnant, and that this holds true regardless of the TSH value and WBS result. This early information is of clinical
relevance for patient follow-up.

Radioiodine treatment of non-toxic multinodular goitre: effects of combination with lithium 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Purpose This study aimed to evaluate the effects of radioiodine (131I), alone or in combination with lithium, on thyroid volume and the prevention of radioiodine-induced thyrotoxicosis. This is the first clinical trial including only patients with multinodular goitre, normal TSH values and negative anti-thyroid auto-antibodies at baseline.Methods Eighty consecutive patients were randomised to receive 131I plus lithium (group I+L) or 131I alone (group I). Thyroid ultrasonography and biochemical analyses were performed at baseline and at 1, 3, 6, 12 and 24 months after treatment.Results At 1–4 weeks after treatment, 131I-induced hyperthyroidism was observed in 58.8% of patients and was prevented by lithium administration. A low incidence of hypothyroidism (19%) was recorded at 24 months, whereas up to 44% of patients developed anti-thyroid antibodies. A significant reduction in thyroid volume was observed after 131I, with a mean decrease of 47.2% (median 48.2%) at 24 months, without differences between the groups. Moreover, it was shown that the decrease in thyroid volume after 131I was also due to the significant shrinkage of thyroid nodules.Conclusion This demonstrates that adjunctive lithium is able to reduce radioiodine-induced hyperthyroidism. Therefore, such treatment appears to be safe in older patients and those with underlying cardiovascular disease. In the present large series, 131I therapy was demonstrated to be highly effective in reducing thyroid and nodular volume even in patients treated with low 131I doses (2.5 MBq/ml of thyroid tissue), further supporting the view that radioiodine therapy represents a real alternative to surgery. 相似文献

Aim Intraoperative gamma probe (GP) guidance with 99mTc-pertechnetate in the completion total thyroidectomy after a first thyroidectomy was investigated in this prospective study.
Methods The study group comprises of fourteen consecutive patients (14 females, age mean 50.2 ± 12.0 years, age range 29–73 years).
All patients underwent a second thyroidectomy due to inadequate (5/14 patients) and complementary (9/14 patients) interventions.
Serum-free three iodothyronine, free thyroxin and thyroid stimulating hormone measurements, a neck ultrasonography (USG) and
thyroid scintigraphy (TS) were performed in the preoperative and postoperative period. After a 185 MBq (5 mCi) injection of
99mTc-pertechnetate, background (BG), left thyroid lobe (LTL), right thyroid lobe (RTL) and pyramidal tyroid lobe (PTL) regions
were counted in time before and after resection of thyroid remnants by intraoperative GP. All resection materials were evaluated
by histopathologic examination.
Results Preoperative TSH was less than 30 mIU/mL (mean 21 ± 7) in all patients. Functioning thyroid remnants were shown in 13/14 patients
on the preoperative TS and USG, which were diagnosed by USG in one but by TS in other one. We calculated that percentage median
(minimum–maximum) values were 220.90% (56.00–411.11%) in LTL, 80.43% (11.54–471.05%) in RTL and 66.60% (−3.33 to 158.33%)
in PTL for counts before resection, on the other hand, 15.96% (−20.55 to 47.62%) in LTL, 17.59% (−15.07 to 38.46%) in RTL
and 17.59% (−1.96 to 57.14%) in PTL regions for counts after resection. There were statistically significant differences between
these values belonging to before and after resection for LTL (p = 0.001), RTL (p = 0.001) and PTL (p = 0.008). Bilateral small foci in a patient and unilateral focus in other patient were observed in postoperative TS. Unilateral
focus was detected on the RTL by GP, but not bilateral foci. Postoperative TSH levels increased to 30 mIU/mL (mean 69 ± 26)
at least. There was a statistically significant difference between preoperative and postoperative TSH values (p < 0.001). Histopathologic confirmation revealed that all removed materials were the thyroid tissues.
Conclusions Gamma probe guidance with 99mTc-pertechnetate seemed to be a good option and easy available method in patients undergoing the completion total thyroidectomy. 相似文献

Outcome of radioiodine therapy without, on or 3 days off carbimazole: a prospective interventional three-group comparison 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
Walter MA Christ-Crain M Schindler C Müller-Brand J Müller B 《European journal of nuclear medicine and molecular imaging》2006,33(6):730-737
Purpose Carbimazole ameliorates hyperthyroidism but reduces radioiodine uptake and adversely affects the outcome of simultaneous radioiodine therapy. We explored whether withdrawal of carbimazole for 3 days can restore the outcome of radioiodine treatment without concurrent exacerbation of hyperthyroidism. By generating three groups with comparable radioiodine uptake, we also investigated whether the effect of carbimazole depends on the radioiodine uptake.Methods Stratified by a radioiodine uptake >30%, 227 consecutive adult patients were prospectively assigned to radioiodine therapy (target dose 200 Gy) without, on or 3 days off carbimazole. Patients were clinically (Crooks-Wayne score) and biochemically (T3, fT4, TSH) followed up after 3, 6 and 12 months. Primary endpoint was outcome 12 months after radioiodine therapy.Results A total of 207 patients completed follow-up (toxic nodular goitre, n=117; Graves’ disease, n=90). The overall success rate was 71.5%. Patients without and 3 days off carbimazole had similar biochemical (81.4% and 83.3%, respectively; p=0.82) and clinical outcomes [median (range) Crooks-Wayne score 0 (0–16) and 1 (0–10), respectively; p=0.73], which were both higher than in patients on carbimazole [42.6%, p<0.001; Crooks-Wayne score 3 (0–30), p<0.03]. Time to achieve cure was delayed on carbimazole. No changes in thyroid hormone levels occurred after 3 days’ discontinuation of carbimazole. Logistic regression revealed that all observed cure rates were independent of entity, sex, age, thyroid volume, radioiodine uptake, radioiodine half-life, fT4, T3 and TSH.Conclusion Patients under carbimazole treatment can be referred for radioiodine therapy after withdrawal of carbimazole for only 3 days. Three days of carbimazole withdrawal is long enough to restore the success of radioiodine therapy and short enough to avoid the risk of exacerbation of hyperthyroidism. 相似文献

Iodine kinetics were studied in patients with differentiated thyroid cancer while euthyroid under exogenous thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) and while hypothyroid to detect differences in radioiodine uptake, distribution and elimination. Nine patients with total or near-total thyroidectomy on thyroid hormone suppressive therapy received two or three daily doses of 0.9 mg recombinant human TSH (rhTSH) followed by administration of a diagnostic activity of 2 mCi (74 MBq) iodine-131. After the biokinetics assessments had been performed, patients stopped taking thyroid hormones to become hypothyroid. A second 2 mCi (74 MBq) diagnostic activity of 131I was administered, followed by a second set of biokinetics assessments. One week later the patients underwent remnant ablation with a therapeutic activity of 131I. A comparison of the 131I kinetics in the patients while euthyroid and while hypothyroid showed major differences in the doses to the remnant as well as in residence times and radiation exposure to the blood. In the first diagnostic assessment the remnant dose was higher in eight of the nine patients and clearance of the activity from the blood was faster in all of them. The data from this study suggest that radioiodine administration is potent and safe when administered to euthyroid patients following rhTSH administration. Enhanced residence time in the remnant and decreased radiation exposure to the blood were noted when patients were euthyroid compared to when they were rendered hypothyroid. However, all patients received diagnostic activities in the same order: first while euthyroid, followed by hypothyroidism. It is quite possible that "stunning" from the radioiodine administered in the initial uptake study inhibited the subsequent uptake of radioiodine by the remnant lesions in the second uptake study. 相似文献

Exogenous triiodothyronine (T3) was substituted for levothyroxin or desiccated thyroid in 13 athyrotic patients previously treated for papillary, follicular, or mixed papillary-follicular carcinoma of the thyroid. After 4 weeks T3 therapy was discontinued and serial determinations of plasma thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) concentrations were made. A roughly exponential rise in TSH values, corresponding to a doubling time of 2 days, was observed until a level of 40 microIU/ml was reached, after which the curve passed through a maximum at 20 days. The mean time required for a level of 50 microIU/ml was 11 days, and this time is suggested for TSH determination before I-131 imaging of patients with thyroid cancer. Plasma TSH values in eight patients following "total" thyroidectomy showed a much slower and more variable rise, with a mean doubling time of 7.6 days. Weekly TSH levels beginning at 15 days will provide a rational basis for I-131 imaging in this group, in whom a longer period of hypothyroidism will be required before imaging and therapy. Adherence to these protocols should minimize the duration of hypothyroidism in patients undergoing I-131 treatment of thyroid carcinoma. 相似文献
