The effects of chronic amiodarone treatment on several thyroid and cardiac function parameters were studied in 50 euthyroid patients with refractory ventricular arrhythmias, divided in responders and nonresponders according to their sensitivity to the antiarrhythmic action of the drug. No differences in the severity of cardiac disease and blood amiodarone concentrations were found in the two groups. Amiodarone induced a significant inhibition of peripheral T4 monodeiodination, more pronounced in responders compared to nonresponders. On the contrary, only in responsive patients, elevated basal and TRH-stimulated TSH levels were observed (despite serum T3 levels were not different from those in nonresponders) and the indirect indices of cardiac performance, particularly the systolic time intervals, fell in a range usually observed in the hypothyroid states. These findings suggest that amiodarone, besides the well-known inhibition of T4 to T3 conversion, also induces a partial resistance to the thyroid hormones, which is probably involved in the therapeutical effectiveness of the drug. 相似文献

For various pituitary adenomas, it has been demonstrated that somatostatin receptor can be present. Pilot studies have shown
that radio-indium labeled pentetreotide allows very good scintigraphic localization of somatostatin receptor-bearing cell
masses. Recently, the presence of CgA in pituitary adenomas has also been demonstrated. MAb A11, raised against CgA, has been
successfully used with a three-step ISG for the diagnosis of neuroendocrine tumors. Therefore the combined use of three-step
ISG with MAb A11 and radiolabeled somatostatin can be useful in the diagnosis of pituitary adenomas. Twelve patients, 5 secreting
(group A) and 7 nonsecreting (group B) pituitary adenomas, were enrolled in the study. All patients underwent three-step ISG,
and, 2 wk later, scintigraphy with111In-labeled pentetreotide (Octreoscan). Three-step ISG consisted of iv injection of 1 mg of biotinylated MAb A11 (first step),
followed by 10 mg of avidin (second step) and [99mTc]PnAO-biotin (third step). Tomographic imaging were acquired for three-step ISG and Octreoscan at 2 and 4 h after radiotracer
injection, respectively. The results are the following: 2 patients of group A (secreting tumors) had a positive three-step
ISG, whereas all the patients but one of the same group had a positive pentetreotide study; all the patients of group B (nonsecreting
tumors) had a positive three-step ISG and 4 had a positive pentetreotide scintigraphy. These data suggest the utility of the
combined use of these techniques for a better diagnosis of pituitary adenomas. 相似文献

Maternal thyroid function in early and late pregnancy. 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Thyroid function was investigated during and after pregnancy in 12 healthy euthyroid women. During pregnancy, serum total T4 (TT4) levels were significantly elevated and nearly stable, while thyroxine-binding globulin (TBG) levels progressively increased till the 7th month. A slight elevation, though not significant, of free T4 (fT4) was recorded in early pregnancy. In the following months, fT4, free T3 (fT3) and the T4/TBG ratio progressively diminished, reaching a plateau at the 7th month. Serum TSH levels, measured by an ultrasensitive immunofluorometric assay, were comparable to postpartum values during the first trimester and showed a moderate upward trend with the progression of pregnancy. The evaluation of 24-hour TSH profiles was performed in 5 women during the first trimester of pregnancy. In all women, the circadian rhythm of TSH was present with a normal nocturnal surge, though anticipated in 1 case. In summary (1) during the first trimester of pregnancy, the increased thyroid activity does not seem to be only sustained by pituitary TSH which remains unmodified; the negative correlation between TSH and hCG levels might suggest that hCG also stimulates the gland to increase thyroid hormone output, and the presence of a normal TSH circadian rhythm indicates that the central mechanism of neuroregulation of the pituitary-thyroid axis is preserved in early pregnancy, and (2) in late pregnancy, a marked decrease in free thyroid hormone fractions is accompanied by serum TSH levels still in the normal range, indicating a modification of thyroid homeostasis which might recognize various etiological factors. 相似文献

Inappropriate secretion of thyrotropin by the pituitary 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Inappropriate secretion of thyrotropin (IST) is characterized by elevated serum free thyroid hormone and unsuppressed thyrotropin (TSH) levels, and results from either a TSH-secreting pituitary tumor (nIST) or a selective resistance to thyroid hormone action (nnIST). Although in most patients TSH levels are definitely high, in a quarter of the cases they are within the 'normal range'. In some of these cases, TSH had an elevated biologic activity and an apparent molecular weight smaller than in normals. The current availability of ultrasensitive TSH immunoradiometric assay, able to distinguish suppressed from unsuppressed TSH levels enables the recognition of the disease. The distinction between nnIST and nIST rests on clinical, neuroradiological, and biochemical criteria, the most useful of which are the alpha-subunit:TSH molar ratio (increased in nIST), and the evaluation of the TSH responses to thyrotropin-releasing hormone and high doses of 3,5,3'-triiodothyronine, both qualitatively normal in nnIST, while absent in nIST. The therapy of choice for patients with nIST is pituitary surgery, followed by irradiation in case of surgical failure. Chronic administration of bromocriptine is effective in a minority of cases. The long-acting somatostatin analogue SMS 201-995 has given promising results in 2 patients. In nnIST, bromocriptine is frequently uneffective, while small doses of 3,5,3'-triiodothyronine or 3,5,3'-triiodothyroacetic acid, a thyroid hormone derivative with a strong inhibitory effect on TSH secretion but poor thyromimetic activity on peripheral tissues, are effective in controlling TSH hypersecretion. 相似文献

Pituitary thyroid hormone resistance (PRTH) refers to a particular form of thyroid hormone refractoriness that is accompanied by peripheral hyperthyroidism, as only the TSH-secreting pituitary cells appear to be resistant to the effects of thyroid hormones. The presence of PRTH is suspected and diagnosed on the basis of the finding of high free thyroid hormone levels along with unsuppressed TSH, clinical signs and symptoms of hyperthyroidism and values of at least one of the parameters evaluating peripheral thyroid hormone action in the hyperthyroid range. However, most patients with PRTH present with clinical signs and symptoms of thyroid dysfunction, particularly goiter and tachycardia, overlapping those recorded in patients with generalized thyroid hormone resistance (GRTH), i.e. refractoriness to thyroid hormones at both pituitary and peripheral tissue level. Moreover, most of them display normal values of other parameters evaluating the peripheral effects of thyroid hormones and bear mutations in the gene encoding for T3 nuclear receptors similar to those found in patients with GRTH. These findings are questioning the existence of PRTH as a separate clinical entity and support the view that the various forms of thyroid hormone resistance may be part of a spectrum of disease with variable expression in different issues. 相似文献

Inappropriate thyrotropin secretion (IST) may originate from either neoplastic disease (nIST) or non-neoplastic resistance to thyroid hormone (nnIST). An inhibitory effect of somatostatin on TSH secretion has been documented. In an attempt to elucidate the possible therapeutic effect of this peptide on nIST and nnIST, a study was conducted in 7 such patients. Sandostatin (SMS 201-995) was administered in daily doses of 100 micrograms for several days to 1 month. Four patients with nIST responded with a fall in circulating TSH as well as alpha-subunit with concomitant normalization of free thyroxine and clear symptomatic improvement. In the 3 nnIST patients this effect was considerably less apparent and a partial TSH escape was observed on long-term treatment in 2 cases. The importance of somatostatin and its analogs in the management of thyroid malignancy is stressed. 相似文献
