It is unclear whether hypothyroidism is present in patients with Prader–Willi syndrome (PWS). This study aimed to clarify the state of the hypothalamic–pituitary–thyroid axis and the effects of growth hormone (GH) treatment on thyroid function in pediatric patients with PWS. We retrospectively evaluated thyroid function in 51 patients with PWS before GH treatment using a thyroid‐releasing hormone (TRH) stimulation test (29 males and 22 females; median age, 22 months). We also evaluated the effect of GH therapy on thyroid function by comparing serum free triiodothyronine (fT3), free thyroxine (fT4), and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) levels at baseline, 1 year, and 2 years after GH therapy. TSH, fT4, and fT3 levels were 2.28 μU/ml (interquartile range [IQR]; 1.19–3.61), 1.18 ng/dl (IQR; 1.02–1.24), and 4.02 pg/dl (IQR; 3.54–4.40) at baseline, respectively. In 49 of 51 patients, the TSH response to TRH administration showed a physiologically normal pattern; in two patients (4.0%), the pattern suggested hypothalamic hypothyroidism (delayed and prolonged TSH peak after TRH administration). TSH, fT4, and fT3 levels did not change significantly during 1 or 2 years after GH treatment. The TSH response to TRH showed a normal pattern in most patients, and thyroid function did not change significantly during the 2 years after initiating GH treatment. 相似文献

OBJECTIVES: Recently, studies have shown an association between antiperoxidase for the detection of thyroid autoimmunity (TAI) and abortion. Another point to be considered is the association of high risk of abortion and maternal age. The aim of the present study was to evaluate if the association between TAI and miscarriage could also be verified whether a population of unselected pregnant young women who normally present a low risk of miscarriage. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We studied 534 pregnant women, by determining their serum thyroid antiperoxidase antibodies (TPO-Abs), thyrotropin (TSH) and free thyroxine (fT4) levels. Our end point was the pregnancy loss or live birth. RESULTS: Age ranged from 12 to 49 years (mean +/- S.D.; 23.5 +/- 5.9). Of 534 women, 29 (5.4%) were TPO-Ab positive. TSH levels were significantly higher in TPO-Ab-positive women compared with TPO-Ab negative women (median; 1.9 versus 1.1; P = 0.001). Elevated TSH levels were found in 13.8% (4 of 29) of the TPO-Ab-positive women compared with only 2.4% (12 of 505) in the TPO-Ab-negative women. There were no significant differences in fT4 levels in relation with autoimmunity and risk of miscarriage. The overall risk of miscarriage was 2.4% (13 of 534). Risk of miscarriage was significantly higher among women older than 35 years (7.7%), TPO-Ab positive (10.3%) and presenting high levels of TSH (12.5%). These factors remained independently associated with the risk of miscarriage in full multivariate analysis. CONCLUSIONS: We conclude that TAI is independently associated with is a higher risk of miscarriage in a population of unselected pregnant presenting a low risk of miscarriage. 相似文献

AIM--To evaluate the clinical usefulness of the thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH) test and estimation of thyroid autoantibody concentrations in patients with borderline raised thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH). METHODS--The records of 34 consecutive patients with persistent borderline increased TSH (4.4-9.9 mU/l) referred to the Medical Investigation Unit were reviewed. The response of patients with thyroid autoantibodies to the TRH test was compared with that of patients with a negative antibody screen. RESULTS--Eleven (44%) of 25 patients with positive anti-thyroid microsomal and/or thyroglobulin antibody tests and three (33%) of nine patients with a negative antibody screen had hypothyroid responses to TRH. Neither age nor sex affected the response to TRH. Basal TSH alone was poorly correlated with these indices. Twelve (35%) patients who had elevated basal TSH had a normal response to the TRH test. CONCLUSION--Patients with positive or negative thyroid autoantibodies and an exaggerated response to the TRH test should be regarded as hypothyroid and treated with thyroxine. Patients with positive thyroid autoantibodies and normal TSH response may subsequently develop hypothyroidism and should be given long term follow up. 相似文献

In more than half of infertile men,the cause of their infertility is unknown.Several studies revealed the role of viral infections in male infertility.The aim of the present study was to determine the prevalence of herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1) and HSV-2 in semen from asymptomatic infertile male patients,and its association with altered semen parameters.A total of 70 semen samples were collected from infertile men who attended the Research and Clinical Center for Infertility in Yazd,Iran.Semen analysis and diagnostic real-time PCR using specific primers and probes for HSV-1 and HSV-2 DNA were performed.Comparison of semen parameters between virally infected and non-infected samples were performed with independent t-test and Mann-Whitney test.Semen analysis showed that infertile men fell into two groups,the male factor group and the unexplained group.HSV-1 and HSV-2 DNA was detected in 16 (22.9%) and 10 (14.3%) of 70 semen samples,respectively.All HSV-positive samples had abnormal semen parameters (the male factor group).Although HSV infection was not associated with sperm motility and morphological defects,it was correlated with lower sperm count in the seminal fluid.The findings suggest that asymptomatic seminal infection of HSV plays an important role in male infertility by adversely affecting sperm count. 相似文献

Immunogenic hyperthyroidism (Graves' disease) is a life-long ailment. A widespread diagnostic evaluation is essential for unbiased initial values prior to therapy. The major goals of initial investigation are to determine a functional disturbance of the organ, its pathogenesis and morphology. Even a suppressed ultrasensitive bTSH value represents no evidence of overt hyperthyroidism; a positive diagnosis can only be established by the additional presence of increased parameters of circulating free thyroid hormones (fT3, fT4). Evidence of any immunogenic pathogenesis is given by positive thyroid antibody values (TRAK, MAK, TAK). Moreover, the use of sonography (with poor diffuse echo and increased thyroid depth) as well as Tc-99m scan indicating primary autonomy, thyroxine induced hyperthyroidism or painless thyroiditis) may both prove rather useful in a rational and economical diagnosis of Graves' disease. 相似文献

Some studies suggest thyroid hormones may regulate the human immune system. In order to evaluate the effect of thyroid hormone deficiency on antibody production, we evaluated serum IgA and IgM concentrations in 83 children with congenital hypothyroidism (CH), diagnosed by neonatal screening. Patients were compared to two healthy, age-matched control groups. Patients with permanent CH had a significantly higher frequency of undetectable IgA concentrations (thyroid agenesis, P<10(-5); thyroid ectopy, P=0.013) and lower concentrations of IgA (thyroid agenesis, P<10(-6); thyroid ectopy, P<10(-5); dyshormonogenesis, P=0.0002) and IgM (thyroid agenesis, P=0.0002; thyroid ectopy, P<10(-6); dyshormonogenesis, P=0.0017) compared to control group. No difference was observed between patients with transient hypothyroidism and controls. A significant correlation was observed between serum IgA and IgM concentrations and fT4 levels. IgA and IgM deficiency is correlated with the severity of congenital hypothyroidism and may help to evaluate the duration and severity of thyroid hormone deficiency during prenatal life. 相似文献

Summary The characteristic psychic and somatic features found in patients with overt hyper- or hypothyroidism are usually attributed to elevated or diminished levels, respectively, of thyroid hormones. This concept does not sufficiently explain our previous investigations in which the same symptoms, albeit attenuated, were also seen in patients suffering from so-called latent disturbances of thyroid function. This state of disorder, however, exhibits normal concentrations of peripheral thyroid hormones. Only the response of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) to thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) stimulation is in accordance with the behaviour of the overt thyroid dysfunction and enables its differentiation from the euthyroid state. In this context, we investigated the question as to whether pathologic signs in thyroid disorders are correlated to alterations of peripheral thyroid hormones or to changes in the hypothalamus pituitary axis. Therefore, we investigated two groups of ten patients each who suffered from latent hyper- or hypothyroidism, respectively, and ten euthyroid controls. All were matched from sex and age. Endocrine function was estimated by TRH testing, TT3, TT4 and thyroxine binding globuline (TBG). Psychologic testing was performed by questionnaires concerning subjective somatic symptoms, emotional disturbances, psychomotoric performance, cognitive impairment and personality. Patients with latent hyperthyroidism were more subject to somatic symptoms and affective complaints than were those who had latent hypothyroidism. As compared with controls, there were significant differences in exhaustion and pain in the limbs and heart. In terms of affective complaints, patients were more depressive, anxious, touchy and irritable; their personalities showed a higher degree of emotional lability, excitement and irritability. Many symptoms described in overt thyroid dysfunction could be found in latent metabolic disturbances. Therefore, we conclude that the alterations of health in thyroid disorders are more likely to be caused by hypothalamic pituitary impairment than by changes in peripheral hormone levels. The stronger symptoms occurring in overt thyroid dysfunction as compared with latent metabolic disturbances may reflect the degree of hypothalamic pituitary dysfunction.

No evidence of deteriorating semen quality among men in infertile relationships during the last decade: a study of males from Southern Sweden 总被引:4,自引:3,他引:1
The aim of this study was to investigate whether the quality of semen has
deteriorated during the last decade. Laboratory records containing semen
analysis results were reviewed. The records, arranged according to date of
birth, are kept in shelves. Every fifth record for analyses performed
between 1985 and 1995, and only those of men in infertile relationships,
were included. The data were abstracted in a data base, and time-related
changes in semen characteristics were studied using linear regression
analyses. During the study period, there was a slight, but significant
increase in sperm concentration, percentage of motile spermatozoa,
percentage of spermatozoa with normal morphology, and the base-value of the
penetration test. The seminal volumes decreased slightly, but
significantly. Sperm characteristics were not associated with age or date
of birth of the men. In conclusion, these data show no evidence of
deterioration in sperm quality during the last decade among men in
infertile relationships.

Correlation between semen parameters and sperm aneuploidy rates investigated by fluorescence in-situ hybridization in infertile men 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9

Spermatozoa from 32 infertile patients and 13 controls with normal semen parameters were analysed using dual and triple colour fluorescence in-situ hybridization (FISH) techniques, in order to investigate the rates of aneuploidy for chromosomes 13, 18, 21, X and Y. The patients were divided into three groups according to their karyotypes or the karyotypes of their offspring: 15 were infertile men with abnormal semen parameters and normal karyotypes (group 1), 13 were infertile men with abnormal karyotypes and normal or abnormal semen (group 2) and four were infertile men with abnormal semen and normal karyotypes but whose wives conceived a child (or a fetus) with a numerical chromosomal abnormality through an intracytoplasmic sperm injection cycle (group 3). Patients with abnormal semen parameters showed a significantly higher aneuploidy rate for the investigated chromosomes in their spermatozoa compared to controls (P < 0.005). Our data suggest the presence of a correlation between poor semen parameters and an increase in aneuploidy rate of chromosomes 13, 18, 21, X and Y in spermatozoa (r = -0.81071, P < 0.002); therefore the risk of a chromosomal aneuploidy in spermatozoa seems to be inversely correlated to sperm concentration and total progressive motility. Patients with abnormal karyotypes showed a higher incidence of diploidy and chromosomal aneuploidies compared to controls (P < 0.002). This strongly suggests the presence of an interchromosomal effect of the cytogenetic rearrangement. Men who fathered a child with an abnormal karyotype through intracytoplasmic sperm injection did not present a higher aneuploidy rate for the investigated chromosomes in spermatozoa compared to patients with infertility due to a similar male factor but showed higher incidence of chromosomal aneuploidy compared to normal controls. 相似文献

In-vivo as well as in-vitro studies carried out demonstrate for the first time the interaction between thyroid releasing hormone (TRH) and inhibin at the pituitary, testes, prostate and spermatozoa levels. At the pituitary level both peptides act as antagonists to each other and modify the release of pituitary hormones. Further, these peptides act at the prostatic level wherein they modulate ornithine decarboxylase activity as well as 5 alpha-reductase activity. At the testicular level TRH blocks inhibin biosynthesis whereas in semen, it significantly reduces the binding of spermatozoa to specific antibodies directed against inhibin. In conclusion, although TRH and inhibin are widely different in their molecular size and chemical structure, these peptides seems to act antagonistically at multiple sites. 相似文献

In the assessment of unexplained infertility the evaluation of seminal characteristics is primary and paramount, as far as the male is concerned. We present in this article our experience with semen analyses of 100 infertile males. The collection and examination were according to standardized and well accepted methodology. We found that majority of infertile men were within the age interval of 26-30 years, and had been married for 1-3 years, when they first submitted themselves for fertility assessment. The physical parameters were found to be important, in that they in many patients pointed towards a specific physical cause; depletion in semen volume, altered colour, and pH changes were found especially informative. We also found the microscopic arm of semen analyses very useful in pin-pointing existing deficits in the male. Some significant correlations were also observed between abnormal microscopic parameters and clinical conditions. The results are discussed. 相似文献

Various aetiopathological mechanisms have been postulated to be at the root of Menière's disease (MD), and some data suggest that there may be also an underlying autoimmune factor. In fact, Menière patients manifest certain characteristics that are typical of autoimmune involvement association of particular human leucocyte antigen haplotypes, the presence of antibodies against internal ear antigens. In this study, we evaluated the association between thyroid autoimmunity and MD in a non-selected group of patients. We recruited 50 consecutive MD patients and two groups as controls: group A, 82 healthy volunteers; and group B, 50 subjects suffering from acute unilateral peripheral vestibulopathy. All subjects were submitted to instrumental assessment of cochlear-vestibular function and analysis of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), free triiodothyronine, free thyroxine, anti-TSH receptor antibody (TR-Ab), anti-thyroperoxidase antibody (TPO-Ab) and anti-thyroglobulin antibody (Tg-Ab) in the blood. The prevalence of autoimmune thyroiditis in group B [6/50 (12%); 66.7% TPO-Ab and 33.3% Tg-Ab] was superimposable with the healthy controls [6/82 (7%); 66.7% TPO-Ab and 33.3% Tg-Ab]. In contrast, 38% of the MD patients (P = 0.0001 versus group A and group B) had significant autoantibody levels (68.4% TPO-Ab; 15.8% TPO-Ab + TR-Ab; 10.5% Tg-Ab; 5.2% TPO-Ab + Tg-Ab). Furthermore, 14% of the MD patients were hyperthyroid under l-thyroxine therapy, while no dysfunction was seen in the control groups. Overall, our data demonstrate a significant association between MD and thyroid autoimmunity, which suggests that an autoimmune factor is involved in the aetiopathogenesis of this disease. These findings suggest that it should be useful to submit MD patients to multi-disciplinary clinical investigation. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: In this prospective study, semen parameters and hormone concentrations of infertile smokers were compared with infertile non- and ex-smokers. We also determined how many men with idiopathic infertility would stop smoking in an attempt to improve their fertility. METHODS: 1104 men (517 non-smokers, 109 ex-smokers and 478 smokers) with infertility for at least 1 year were evaluated. Evaluation included medical history, physical examination, hormone analysis and two semen analyses. Prior to the second semen analysis, smokers were urged to quit smoking. RESULTS: Smokers were significantly younger (P < 0.001), had significantly more round cells in their ejaculates (P = 0.003), and the percentage of ejaculates with > 1 x 10(6)/ml leukocytes was higher in smokers (P < 0.001). Increased free and total serum testosterone (P < 0.001) and decreased prolactin levels (P < 0.001) were found in smokers. No differences were found between non-smokers and ex-smokers. Only 23.1% of the smokers versus 46% non-smokers (P < 0.001) returned for a second semen analysis, 14 of whom reduced and 15 of whom quit smoking completely. Testosterone levels were significantly lower in those who were able to stop or reduce smoking (P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Smoking does not affect conventional semen parameters, but significantly increases round cells and leukocytes. Only a few idiopathic infertile smokers were able to quit smoking. 相似文献
