Prevalence of autoimmune thyroid disorders in a Spanish multiple sclerosis cohort

The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence of thyroid autoimmune disorders in a cohort of untreated multiple sclerosis (MS) patients and compare it with a stratified sample of an adult population. We prospectively studied 93 untreated MS patients. The control group included 401 healthy subjects selected by stratified sampling in a non-iodine-deficient area. Antithyroid antibodies (ATA) (antibodies against peroxidase and thyroglobulin) were considered positive at titres ≥149 IU/ml. Antibodies were positive in 11 MS patients (11.8%; 95% CI 5.3–18.4%). This prevalence was five times higher ( P  = 0.0001) when compared with that in the control population. We found six cases with subclinical hypothyroidism (6.45%; 95% CI 11.4–1.5) in contrast to 2.24% in the control group. Comparing MS with positive and negative ATA, there was a non-significant, slightly higher frequency of low Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) score in the ATA-positive group (81% vs. 73.2%). One year after start of interferon (IFN) treatment, only one patient developed subclinical thyroid dysfunction. MS patients have a higher prevalence of ATA compared with the general population. An initial ATA and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) determination is recommended in all MS patients. A periodic assessment of thyroid function during IFN treatment only seems to be justified in those cases where positive ATA or dysfunction is present before treatment.     

甲状腺微小癌36例临床分析

目的:探讨甲状腺微小癌的诊断和外科治疗经验。方法:36例甲状腺微小癌患者,10例行患侧腺叶切除术,20例行患侧腺叶加峡部切除术,3例行甲状腺次全切除术,加局部淋巴结清扫术1例,加功能性颈淋巴结清扫术2例,术后均服用甲状腺素片80~120mg/d,服药时间维持手术后1~3年,定期复查甲状腺激素水平,以"轻度甲亢"症状为用药标准调整服药用量。2例术后做同位素治疗。结果:术后2例曾出现短暂声音嘶哑,后逐渐恢复,1例出现短期的低钙抽搐。34例术后随访3~10年,平均随访5年,除1例混合型癌伴发肝转移者死亡外,其余无复发和死亡。结论:甲状腺微小癌女性发病较多,以单发癌结节为主,B超、细针穿刺细胞学检查(FNAC)、术中快速冰冻病理检查等方法综合运用能提高甲状腺微小癌的检出率,甲状腺微小癌手术治疗的预后较好。

离子碘和分子碘过量对甲状腺功能与形态影响

目的　比较离子碘和分子碘过量对非碘缺乏Wistar大鼠甲状腺功能和形态的影响及差别。方法　固相免疫放射分析法测定实验大鼠血清TSH ,放射免疫分析法测定血清TT4 、TT3 。砷铈分光光度法测定尿碘。光、电镜下观察甲状腺内形态学变化 ,用图像分析仪测量滤泡上皮细胞高度和滤泡腔面积。结果　补充 840 μg碘 /L 90d时 ,可使血清TSH值增高 ,但是未见显著性差异。血清TT4 明显高于双蒸馏水 (DDW )组 ,P <0 0 5,但同剂量离子碘和分子碘比较 ,血清TT4 值无显著性差异。补碘组光、电镜下可见滤泡腔面积增大 ,滤泡上皮细胞变扁 ,细胞核染色深 ,滤泡融合破裂 ,巨滤泡形成 ,毛细血管减少。超微结构显示甲状腺滤泡上皮细胞内质网扩张 ,次级溶酶体增多 ,微绒毛减少 ,染色体浓集。与DDW组相比 ,滤泡上皮细胞高度明显降低 ,滤泡腔面积增大 ,P均 <0 0 5。相同剂量离子碘和分子碘比较无显著性差异。结论　碘摄入浓度 >840 μg/L时 ,会对大多部分甲状腺滤泡上皮细胞产生抑制和破坏 ,使血清TT4 值明显增高 ,离子碘和分子碘对甲状腺影响无明显区别     

儿童甲状腺癌13例临床分析

本文报告１９８５－１９９４年收治的儿童甲状腺癌１３例。年龄７－１６岁。男３岁，女１０例。所有病例无不适，而以颈部肿物就诊。除１例根治术前未做过任何治疗外，其余病例均曾进行过不恰当治疗，颈淋巴结转移１０例，肺转移３例，骨转移１例。病理诊断：乳头状癌１０例，滤泡癌３例。手术以患侧腺叶及峡部切除或加健侧大部分切除为佳。如有颈淋巴结转移应同时行颈部清扫术。本文对儿童甲状腺癌的特征、误诊原因及其治疗进行了计     

Bilateral subclavian steal syndrome: Treatment with percutaneous transluminal angioplasty and stent placement

A 66-year-old man presented with bilateral subclavian steal syndrome (SSS) due to proximal subclavian artery occlusions. He was treated by percutaneous transluminal balloon angioplasty (PTA) and stent implantation in the left subclavian artery and by PTA alone in the right subclavian artery. We could demonstrate that interventional treatment of symptomatic bilateral SSS is possible. If PTA alone is insufficient, stent implantation should be considered.
