ABSTRACT

Introducción. El yodo desempeña un rol fundamental en el metabolismo, el crecimiento y el desarrollo humano. Durante el embarazo y la infancia, la demanda de este micronutriente aumenta considerablemente. La tirotropinemia neonatal (TSHn) aumentada, definida como TSHn ≥5 mUI/l, es un marcador que señala la deficiencia de yodo en una población cuando su prevalencia supera el 3 %. Objetivo. Determinar la prevalencia de TSHn ≥ 5 en La Pampa durante el período 2021-2022, analizar su correlación con diferentes variables y compararla con datos de una cohorte histórica. Población y métodos. Estudio transversal, de diseño descriptivo-analítico, sobre una población de neonatos nacidos en las cinco zonas sanitarias de la provincia de La Pampa durante los años 2021 y 2022. Resultados. De los 5778 neonatos evaluados, el 9,6 % presentó niveles de TSHn ≥5 mUI/l. El 70,4 % de estas mediciones fueron realizadas después del tercer día de vida. No se observaron diferencias significativas en la frecuencia de niveles elevados de TSHn según el año de nacimiento, peso al nacer o días hasta la extracción. Se registró una mayor prevalencia en el sexo masculino (10,6 % versus 8,5 %; p = 0,007) y entre los neonatos nacidos a término (9,8 % versus 6,6 %; p = 0,02). La prevalencia de hipertirotropinemia fue superior a la observada en una cohorte de 2001-2002. Conclusiones. La prevalencia de hipertirotropinemia neonatal en La Pampa durante los años 2021 y 2022 fue del 9,6 %, lo que indica un estado de deficiencia leve de yodo en la provincia, superior al reportado hace dos décadas.


Introduction. Iodine plays a key role in human metabolism, growth, and development. During pregnancy and childhood, the demand for this micronutrient increases notably. Increased neonatal thyroid stimulating hormone (nTSH) levels, defined as nTSH ≥ 5 mIUL, are a marker of iodine deficiency in a population if its prevalence is higher than 3%.Objective. To establish the prevalence of nTSH ≥ 5 in La Pampa in the 2021­2022 period, analyze its correlation with different variables, and compare it with data from a historical cohort.Population and methods. Cross-sectional, descriptive-analytical study in a population of newborn infants born in the 5 health regions of the province of La Pampa in 2021 and 2022. Results. Of  the  5778  assessed  newborn  infants,  9.6%  had  nTSH  levels  ≥  5  mIU/L. It was reported that 70.4% of these measurements were done after the third day of life. No significant differences were observed in the frequency of high nTSH levels by year of birth, birth weight, or days until samplecollection.A higher prevalence was observed among male infants (10.6% versus 8.5%; p = 0.007) and term infants (9.8% versus 6.6%; p = 0.02). The prevalence of high TSH levels was superior to that observed in the 2001­2002 cohort. Conclusions. The  prevalence of high nTSH levels in La Pampa during 2021 and 2022 was 9.6%, suggesting the presence of mild iodine deficiency in the population of this province, higher that what  had been reported 2 decades ago.

ABSTRACT

Resumo Fundamento A disfunção vascular constitui a etiologia de diversas doenças, incluindo infarto do miocárdio e hipertensão, diante da ruptura da homeostase oxi-redutiva ("redox"), desempenhando um papel no desequilíbrio do mecanismo de controle vasomotor. Nosso grupo demonstrou anteriormente que os hormônios tireoidianos melhoram a sinalização da angiogênese, exercendo efeitos protetores sobre o tecido aórtico de ratos infartados. Objetivos Investigar o papel da triiodotironina (T3) na resposta vascular, explorando seus efeitos em aortas isoladas e a presença de mecanismos redox vasculares. Métodos Anéis aórticos isolados (endotélio intacto e desnudado) pré-contraídos com fenilefrina foram incubados com T3 (10-8, 10-7, 10-6, 10-5 e 10-4 M) e a tensão foi registrada usando um transdutor de deslocamento de força acoplado a um sistema de coleta. Para avaliar o envolvimento do estresse oxidativo, os anéis aórticos foram pré-incubados com T3 e posteriormente submetidos a um sistema de geração de espécies reativas de oxigênio (ROS) in vitro. O nível de significância adotado na análise estatística foi de 5%. Resultados A T3 (10-4 M) promoveu o vasorrelaxamento dos anéis aórticos pré-contraídos com fenilefrina em endotélio intacto e desnudado. Os anéis aórticos pré-incubados na presença de T3 (10-4 M) também mostraram diminuição da vasoconstrição provocada pela fenilefrina (1 µM) em preparações de endotélio intacto. Além disso, o efeito vasorrelaxante da T3 (10-4 M) persistiu em anéis aórticos pré-incubados com éster metílico de NG-nitro-L-arginina (L-NAME, 10 µM), um inibidor inespecífico da NO sintase (NOS). Por fim, a T3 (10-4 M) exibiu, in vitro, um papel antioxidante ao reduzir a atividade da NADPH oxidase e aumentar a atividade da SOD nos homogenatos aórticos. Conclusão A T3 exerce efeitos dependentes e independentes de endotélio, o que pode estar relacionado ao seu papel na manutenção da homeostase redox.


Abstract Background Vascular dysfunction constitutes the etiology of many diseases, such as myocardial infarction and hypertension, with the disruption of redox homeostasis playing a role in the imbalance of the vasomotor control mechanism. Our group previously has shown that thyroid hormones exert protective effects on the aortic tissue of infarcted rats by improving angiogenesis signaling. Objective Investigate the role of triiodothyronine (T3) on vascular response, exploring its effects on isolated aortas and whether there is an involvement of vascular redox mechanisms. Methods Isolated aortic rings (intact- and denuded-endothelium) precontracted with phenylephrine were incubated with T3 (10-8, 10-7, 10-6, 10-5, and 10-4 M), and tension was recorded using a force-displacement transducer coupled with an acquisition system. To assess the involvement of oxidative stress, aortic rings were preincubated with T3 and subsequently submitted to an in vitro reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation system. The level of significance adopted in the statistical analysis was 5%. Results T3 (10-4 M) promoted vasorelaxation of phenylephrine precontracted aortic rings in both intact- and denuded-endothelium conditions. Aortic rings preincubated in the presence of T3 (10-4 M) also showed decreased vasoconstriction elicited by phenylephrine (1 µM) in intact-endothelium preparations. Moreover, T3 (10-4 M) vasorelaxation effect persisted in aortic rings preincubated with NG-nitro-L-arginine methylester (L-NAME, 10 µM), a nonspecific NO synthase (NOS) inhibitor. Finally, T3 (10-4 M) exhibited, in vitro, an antioxidant role by reducing NADPH oxidase activity and increasing SOD activity in the aorta's homogenates. Conclusion T3 exerts dependent- and independent-endothelium vasodilation effects, which may be related to its role in maintaining redox homeostasis.

ABSTRACT

Aim: This research was done to ascertain if thyroid hormones and female sex hormones (progesterone and estrogen) play a role or are a risk factor in the development of cardiovascular diseases. Study Design: This is an observational study, specifically a case-control study. Place and Duration of Study: This study was conducted at Enugu State University Teaching Hospital for six months. Methodology: Blood samples were collected from 20 persons with cardiovascular disease. The sera from the study subjects were estimated for T3, T4, and TSH using the ELISA technique. The same parameters were estimated in 20 healthy individuals, and the results from both groups were analysed using SPSS version 21. Results: There were no significant differences in serum T3, T4 and TSH, Progesterone and Estradiol (p=0.236, p=0.834, p=0.412, p=0.995 and p=0.512, respectively) in cardiovascular disease patients compared with controls. There were no significant differences in serum T3, Progesterone, Estradiol and TSH (p=0.443, p=0.291, p=0.612 and p=0.550, respectively) in male cardiovascular disease patients compared to female cardiovascular disease patients. There was a significantly higher level of T4 (p=0.042) in male cardiovascular disease patients compared to female cardiovascular disease patients. A significant negative correlation of serum TSH with T4 (r=-0.759, p=0.000) in cardiovascular disease patients. There was no significant correlation of serum TSH with T3 (r=-0.131, p=0.560) in cardiovascular disease patients. There was a significant positive correlation of Serum Progesterone with Estradiol (r=0.815, p=0.000) in cardiovascular disease patients. Conclusion: T4, T3, and TSH serum levels may not be associated with the development of cardiovascular diseases in this environment. Also, serum progesterone may have a linear association with estradiol in cardiovascular disease patients.

ABSTRACT

ObjectiveTo establish the reference intervals of thyroid hormones in pregnant women from Sanming city and compare them with those from other areas in China. MethodsThe study recruited 605 pregnant women and 229 non-pregnant healthy women who visited Sanming First Hospital between March 29 and June 28, 2023. Blood samples were sequentially collected from the participants to determine the serum levels of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), free triiodothyronine (FT3) and free thyroxine (FT4). The reference intervals of thyroid hormones were established by using a percentile range of P2.5 to P97.5 and their changes in different periods of pregnancy were analyzed and compared with those from other areas in China. ResultsThere were significant differences in levels of TSH, FT4 and FT3 at different periods of pregnancy (all P <0.05). Compared with non-pregnant women, women in first trimester had significantly decreased levels of TSH and FT4, but similar level of FT3. Since the second trimester, TSH level displayed rising tendency, while FT3 and FT4 levels showed gradual decrease. The reference intervals of thyroid hormones in the first, second and third trimester of pregnancy in Sanming city were TSH (0.068, 2.943) μU/mL, FT3 (4.302, 6.888) pmol/L, FT4 (8.240, 14.719) pmol/L; TSH (0.419, 3.274) μU/mL, FT3 (4.074, 6.629) pmol/L, FT4 (6.726, 11.980) pmol/L; TSH (0.422, 3.570) μU/mL, FT3 (3.741, 5.850) pmol/L, FT4 (6.103, 10.347) pmol/L, respectively. Significant differences were found in the reference intervals of thyroid hormones during pregnancy among different areas in China. ConclusionsThe levels of TSH, FT3, FT4 during pregnancy are different from those during non-pregnancy, and also significantly differ in different periods of pregnancy. Reference intervals of thyroid hormones in pregnant women are affected by various factors such as geographic location, ethnicity and laboratory test method, etc. Therefore, establishing the population-specific reference intervals of thyroid hormones will benefit for the diagnosis and treatment of thyroid disease in pregnant women from Sanming city.

ABSTRACT

Thyroid hormones are crucial for energy metabolism. Thyroid dysfunction is closely related to a variety of metabolic disorders. However, evaluation relying solely on thyroid function indicators may come up short, considering the complex relationship between thyroid hormones and metabolic issues. There has been a growing recognition of sensitivity to thyroid hormones as a measure of thyroid function complementary to traditional indices. The indicators of thyroid hormone sensitivity include free triiodothyronine/free thyroxine, thyrotroph thyroxine resistance index, thyroid-stimulating hormone index and thyroid feedback quantile-cased index. It has been reported that impaired sensitivity to thyroid hormones can potentially interact with various nutritional imbalances and metabolic abnormalities, such as metabolic syndrome, osteoporosis and decreased vitamin D, which are not only of concern to those with thyroid dysfunction, but also to euthyroid individuals in terms of prevention and prophylaxis. With the aim of providing comprehensive insights, this review is intended to systematically summarize the existing evidence on the association between sensitivity to thyroid hormones and metabolic disorders.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the association of TSH, free T3 (FT3), free T4 (FT4), and conversion (FT3:FT4) ratio values with incident hypertension. Materials and methods: The study included data from participants of the ELSA-Brasil study without baseline hypertension. Serum TSH, FT4 and FT3 levels, and FT3:FT4 ratio values were assessed at baseline, and incident hypertension (defined by blood pressure levels ≥ 140/90 mmHg) was estimated over a median of 8.2 years of follow-up. The risk of incident hypertension was evaluated considering a 1-unit increase in TSH, FT4, FT3, and conversion ratio values and after dividing these variables into quintiles for further analysis using Poisson regression with robust variance. The results are presented as relative risks (RR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) before and after adjustment for multiple variables. Results: The primary analysis incorporated data from 5,915 euthyroid individuals, and the secondary analysis combined data from all euthyroid individuals, 587 individuals with subclinical hypothyroidism, and 31 individuals with subclinical hyperthyroidism. The rate of incident hypertension was 28% (95% CI: 27%-29.3%). The FT4 levels in the first quintile (0.18-1.06 ng/dL) were significantly associated with incident hypertension (RR: 1.03, 95% CI: 1.01-1.06) at follow-up. The association between FT4 levels in the first quintile and incident hypertension was also observed in the analysis of combined data from euthyroid individuals and participants with subclinical thyroid dysfunction (RR: 1.04, 95% CI: 1.01-1.07). The associations were predominantly observed with systolic blood pressure levels in euthyroid individuals. However, in the combined analysis incorporating euthyroid participants and individuals with subclinical thyroid dysfunction, the associations were more pronounced with diastolic blood pressure levels. Conclusion: Low FT4 levels may be a mild risk factor for incident hypertension in euthyroid individuals and persons with subclinical thyroid dysfunction.

ABSTRACT

Resumo Objetivo Avaliar associações entre a média da tireotropina (TSH) e tiroxina livre (T4L) mantida durante follow-up, e mortalidade em pacientes idosos eutireoidianos definidos de acordo com a faixa de referência específica para a idade (FR-e) do TSH. Método Coorte retrospectiva tipo análise de sobrevivência incluindo pacientes idosos eutireoidianos acompanhados no ambulatório de hospital universitário entre 2010 e 2013. Todos os participantes haviam sido avaliados quanto ao risco de incapacidade funcional como critério para admissão nesse ambulatório. As médias dos valores de TSH e T4L foram calculadas através das dosagens obtidas no período de acompanhamento. Cada FR-e de TSH foi dividida em quatro partes iguais, considerando níveis mais baixos como variável de exposição (≤1,75 mUI/L para <80 e ≤2,0 mUI/L para ≥80 anos). Os níveis de T4L foram dicotomizados em duas categorias (< e ≥1,37 ng/dL). O desfecho foi o tempo até a morte. A regressão de risco proporcional de Cox foi empregada para estimar a hazard ratio (HR) e o intervalo de confiança (IC) de 95% Resultados 285 participantes (73% mulheres, idade média =80,4 anos) seguidos pela mediana de 5,7 anos (IQR =3,7-6,4; máximo =7), sendo que 114 faleceram. Após o modelo final ajustado, a mortalidade esteve associada ao TSH no limite inferior (HR=1,7; IC=1,1-2,7; p=0,016) e ao T4L mais elevado. (HR=2,0; IC=1,0-3,8; p=0,052). Conclusão Níveis médios de T4L mais altos e de TSH mais baixos foram associados ao risco de morte em coorte de idosos eutireoidianos usando FR-e de TSH.


Abstract Objective To assess the associations between the mean thyrotropin (TSH) and mean free thyroxine (FT4), detected during follow-up, and mortality in a group of older euthyroid patients according to age-specific reference range (as-RR) for TSH. Method Retrospective survival analysis cohort including euthyroid elderly patients who were being monitored at the outpatient clinic of a university hospital from 2010 to 2013. All participants had been assessed for the risk of functional disability as a criterion for admission to this outpatient clinic. Mean TSH and FT4 values were calculated using hormone dosages obtained during the follow-up period. Each as-RR for TSH was divided into four equal parts, considering the lower levels as the main exposure variable (≤1.75 mlU/L for <80, and ≤2.0 mlU/L for ≥80 years). FT4 levels were explored according to two categories (< e ≥1.37 ng/dL). The outcome was time to death. We used Cox proportional hazard regression to estimate the hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (CI). Results 285 participants (73% females, mean age =80.4 years) followed by a median of 5.7 years (IQR =3.7-6.4; maximum =7), of which 114 died. After the adjusted final model, mortality was associated with the lowest mean TSH (HR=1.7; CI=1.1-2.7; p=0.016) and with the upper mean of FT4 (HR=2.0; CI=1.0-3.8; p=0.052). Conclusions Higher FT4 and lower TSH mean levels were associated with risk of death in a cohort of euthyroid older adults using an as-RR of TSH.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: el síndrome metabólico y el hipotiroidismo son condiciones muy frecuentes y a menudo superpuestas. Ambos son precursores bien establecidos de la enfermedad cardiovascular aterogénica. Objetivo: evaluar la asociación entre el hipotiroidismo y el síndrome metabólico en pacientes que asisten a la consulta de medicina interna del Hospital IESS de Riobamba, Ecuador. Metodología: se realizó una investigación de tipo descriptiva, correlacional con un diseño no experimental de corte transversal desde enero de 2022 hasta julio de 2023. Se incluyeron 985 sujetos de ambos sexos, mayores de 25 años. A todos los pacientes se les realizó un exhaustivo examen físico y se tomaron muestras de sangre para la realización de pruebas bioquímicas y hormonales. Resultados: 84,97% de los participantes eran eutiroideos, 1,93% presentaron hipotiroidismo manifiesto y 4,97% hipotiroidismo subclínico, mientras que 32,99% tenían síndrome metabólico. Se encontraron diferencias significativas en la edad, peso, circunferencia de cintura, colesterol total, LDL colesterol, triglicéridos, glucosa postpandrial y HOMA-IR entre los sujetos con hipotiroidismo manifiesto y los eutiroideos (p<0,05). Se observó una correlación positiva entre la TSH y todos los componentes del síndrome metabólico (p<0,05). La prevalencia de síndrome metabólico fue significativamente mayor en los sujetos con hipotiroidismo manifiesto (p < 0,05) que en los demás grupos. Se observó que los niveles de T4L (OR 8,82; IC 95% 1,56-49,8) y TSH (OR 1,61; IC 95% 1,19-2,18) son factores de riesgo para el desarrollo de síndrome metabólico. Conclusión: el hipotiroidismo y el síndrome metabólico están altamente asociados. Es recomendable que los sujetos con hipotiroidismo sean examinados para detectar síndrome metabólico y viceversa. La evaluación de la función tiroidea en pacientes con este síndrome puede ayudar a identificar y prevenir el riesgo de eventos cardiovasculares y cerebrovasculares.


Introduction: Metabolic syndrome and hypothyroidism are widespread and often overlapping conditions. Both are well-established precursors of atherogenic cardiovascular disease. Objective: To evaluate the association between hypothyroidism and metabolic syndrome in patients attending the internal medicine consultation at the IESS Hospital in Riobamba, Ecuador. Methodology: A descriptive, correlational research study was conducted with a non-experimental cross-sectional design from January 2022 to July 2023. Nine hundred eighty-five subjects of both sexes and over 25 years of age, were included. All patients underwent a thorough physical examination and blood samples were taken for biochemical and hormonal tests. Results: Eighty-four-point ninety-seven percent of the participants were euthyroid, 1.93% presented overt hypothyroidism, 4.97% had subclinical hypothyroidism, and 32.99% had metabolic syndrome. Significant differences in age, weight, waist circumference, total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, triglycerides, postprandial glucose, and HOMA-IR were found between subjects with manifest hypothyroidism and euthyroid subjects (p<0.05). A positive correlation was observed between TSH and all components of the metabolic syndrome (p<0.05). The prevalence of metabolic syndrome was significantly higher in subjects with overt hypothyroidism (p < 0.05) than in the other groups. It was observed that the levels of FT4 (OR 8.82; 95% CI 1.56-49.8) and TSH (OR 1.61; 95% CI 1.19-2.18) were risk factors for the development of the metabolic syndrome. Conclusion: Hypothyroidism and metabolic syndrome are highly associated. It is recommended that subjects with hypothyroidism be screened for metabolic syndrome and vice versa. Evaluation of thyroid function in patients with this syndrome can help identify and prevent the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events.

ABSTRACT

Resumen Objetivo: Evaluar la asociación entre la exposición al p,p´-DDT y p,p´-DDE con la disrupción tiroidea durante el embarazo a través de un metaanálisis. Material y métodos: Se realizó una revisión sistemática y un meta-análisis basado en la declaración PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and MetaAnalysis). El protocolo de esta revisión se registró ante el International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO) con el folio de identificación: CRD42022324797. Se llevó a cabo una búsqueda en las bases de datos electrónicas PubMed y Web of Science para identificar los estudios elegibles publicados en inglés y español hasta el 2 de enero de 2022. Mediante meta-análisis de efectos aleatorios, se estimó un coeficiente de regresión beta (β) combinado, por cada hormona del perfil tiroideo, a partir de los β publicados de cada estudio y sus intervalos de confianza del 95% (IC del 95%). Resultados: Se incluyeron ocho estudios de los cuales solamente tres reportaron biomarcadores de exposición a p,p'-DDT, por lo que no fue posible conducir metaanálisis para evaluar la relación entre este compuesto y las hormonas del perfil tiroideo. La exposición a p,p'-DDE se asoció con un ligero incremento en los niveles de TSH (β combinada= 0.05; IC95%= -0.01. 0.12) y T3 total (β combinada= 0.02; IC95%= -0.05, 0.09), pero inversamente con los niveles de la T4 total (β combinada= -0.003; IC 95%= -0.05, 0.05) y T4 libre (β combinada= -0.01; IC95%= -0.03, 0.01), aunque ninguno de estos hallazgos fue estadísticamente significativo. Conclusiones: La evidencia disponible a la fecha aún es limitada como para emitir una conclusión sobre la asociación entre las variables de interés. Dado que pequeños cambios en la homeóstasis tiroidea de mujeres embarazadas podrían tener consecuencias en el desarrollo fetal, es necesario seguir generando evidencia al respecto.


Abstract Objective: Evaluate the association between p,p´-DDT and p,p´-DDE exposure with thyroid disruption during pregnancy through meta-analysis. Material and methods: We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA). The protocol of this review was registered in PROSPERO with the identification sheet: CRD42022324797. We conduct systematic searches in PubMed and Web of Science electronic databases to identify eligible studies published in English and Spanish up to January 2, 2022. Using random-effects meta-analysis, a beta regression coefficient was estimated (β) pooled, for each hormone of the thyroid profile, from the β published in each study and their 95% confidence intervals (95% CI). Results: Eight studies were included, of which only three reported biomarkers of exposure to p,p'-DDT, so it was not possible to conduct a meta-analysis to assess the relationship between this compound and hormones in the thyroid profile. Exposure to p,p'-DDE was associated with a slight increase in TSH (pooled β= 0.05; 95% CI= -0.01, 0.12) and total T3 (pooled β= 0.02; 95% CI= -0.05, 0.09) levels , but inversely with total T4 (β pooled= -0.003; 95% CI= -0.05, 0.05) and free T4 (β pooled= -0.01; 95% CI= -0.03, 0.01) levels, although neither of these findings was statistically significant. Conclusions: The evidence available to date is still limited to draw a conclusion on the association between the variables of interest. Since small changes in thyroid homeostasis in pregnant women could have consequences on fetal development, it is necessary to continue generating evidence in this regard.

ABSTRACT

El hipertiroidismo es un trastorno caracterizado por el exceso de hormonas tiroideas. El déficit de yodo es un factor clave en dicha patología y en lugares con suficiencia del mismo se asocian a au-toinmunidad tiroidea. La prevalencia de hipertiroidismo mani-fiesto varía del 0,2% al 1,3% en áreas con suficiencia de yodo, sin embargo, esto puede variar en cada país por diferencias en umbrales de diagnóstico, sensibilidad de ensayo y población se-leccionada. Un reporte de The Third National Health and Nutri-tion Examination Survey (NHANES III) mostró que el hiperti-roidismo manifiesto se presenta en 0,7% de la población general e hipertiroidismo subclínico en el 1,7%1,2.En incidencia, la patología se asocia con la suplementación de yodo, con la mayor frecuencia en áreas de deficiencias, por au-mento de nódulos tiroideos en la población anciana, teniendo a regiones de áreas montañosas como América del Sur, África Central y suroeste de Asia dentro de este grupo. Un meta aná-lisis de estudios europeos mostró una incidencia general de 50 casos por 100000 personas/años1. En Ecuador, según los datos del Instituto Nacional de Estadísticas y Censos (INEC) del 2017, se reportaron 157 casos de hipertiroidismo, de los cuales la En-fermedad de Graves (EG) fue la causa más común, seguida por el bocio multinodular tóxico (BMNT) y finalmente el adenoma tóxico (AT) con una incidencia de 61 %, 24 % y 14 % respecti-vamente3.Los pacientes con esta patología tienen aumento de riesgo com-plicaciones cardiovasculares y mortalidad por todas las causas, siendo falla cardíaca uno de sus principales desenlaces, así el diagnóstico precoz evita estos eventos, principalmente en pobla-ción de edad avanzada.El presente protocolo se ha realizado para un correcto trata-miento de esta patología en el Hospital de Especialidades Carlos Andrade Marín (HECAM).


Hyperthyroidism is a disorder characterized by an excess of thyroid hormones. Iodine deficiency is a key factor in this pa-thology and in places with iodine deficiency it is associated with thyroid autoimmunity. The prevalence of overt hyperthyroidism varies from 0,2% to 1,3% in iodine-sufficient areas; however, this may vary from country to country due to differences in diag-nostic thresholds, assay sensitivity, and selected population. A report from The Third National Health and Nutrition Examina-tion Survey (NHANES III) showed that overt hyperthyroidism occurs in 0,7% of the general population and subclinical hyper-thyroidism in 1,7%1,2.In incidence, the pathology is associated with iodine supplemen-tation, with the highest frequency in areas of deficiencies, due to increased thyroid nodules in the elderly population, having regions of mountainous areas such as South America, Central Africa and Southwest Asia within this group. A meta-analysis of European studies showed an overall incidence of 50 cases per 100000 person/years1. In Ecuador, according to data from the National Institute of Statistics and Census (INEC) in 2017, 157 cases of hyperthyroidism were reported, of which, Graves' di-sease (GD) was the most common cause, followed by toxic mul-tinodular goiter (BMNT) and finally toxic adenoma (TA) with an incidence of 61 %, 24 % and 14 % respectively3.Patients with this pathology have an increased risk of cardiovas-cular complications and all-cause mortality, with heart failure being one of the main outcomes, so early diagnosis avoids these events, mainly in the elderly population.The present protocol has been carried out for the correct treat-ment of this pathology at the Carlos Andrade Marín Specialties Hospital (HECAM).

ABSTRACT

Background: Physiological changes occur during pregnancy. These changes include metabolic, hematologic, cardiovascular, renal, and respiratory changes. In some cases, these changes may alter and lead to complications which result in adverse pregnancy outcomes. In India, hypothyroidism in pregnancy has a prevalence of 4.8–11%. Aims and Objectives: The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of hypothyroidism in pregnant women at 12–16 weeks of gestation. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was planned on pregnant women attending the ANC clinic of Outpatient Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at K.L. E’S Dr Prabhakar Kore Hospital and Medical Research Center Belagavi. Serum thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) was estimated in the study participants. Serum TSH levels >4.5 ?IU/ml were labeled as hypothyroid pregnant women. Results: In our study, the prevalence of hypothyroidism was observed to be 8.68%. Conclusion: Hence, we conclude that all pregnant women should be screened for hypothyroidism at earlier weeks of gestation.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the value of traditional Chinese medicine combined with 131I in the treatment of Graves hyperthyroidism. Methods:From March 2020 to July 2021, 90 patients (39 males, 51 females, age (33.2±7.0) years) with Graves hyperthyroidism who were diagnosed and treated in Changshu No.2 People′s Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were randomly divided into 3 groups ( n=30 in each group), including group A who received treatment of antithyroid drugs (ATD), group B who received treatment of traditional Chinese medicine, and group C who received treatment of 131I combined with traditional Chinese medicine. Thyroid function indicators and inflammatory indicators before treatment and 1, 3, and 6 months after treatment were determined, including free triiodothyronine (FT 3), free thyroxine (FT 4), thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) and TSH receptor antibody (TRAb), and C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α). One-way analysis of variance and χ2 test were used to analyze data. Results:The levels of FT 3, FT 4, TSH, TRAb, CRP, IL-6 and TNF-α in group A, B and C before treatment and 1, 3, 6 months after treatment were significantly different ( F values: 193.27-906.11, all P<0.05). The total effective rate in group C (100.0%, 30/30) was significantly higher than that in group A (86.7%, 26/30) or group B (83.3%, 25/30; χ2 values: 8.24, 9.83, P values: 0.006, 0.037), while there was no significant difference between group A and group B ( χ2=3.02, P=0.124). The incidence of adverse reactions in group B (46.7%, 14/30) was significantly higher than that in group A (30.0%, 9/30; χ2=6.59, P=0.042). And the incidence of adverse reaction in group C (13.3%, 4/30) was significantly lower than that in group A or group B ( χ2 values: 12.05, 7.20, P values: 0.004, 0.038). Conclusion:The curative effect of 131I combined with traditional Chinese medicine is effective and reliable, suggesting that clinical researches should be carried out together and perfected.

ABSTRACT

【Objective】 To investigate the correlation between body composition and thyroid function indicators in type 2 diabetic patients with euthyroidism of different genders. 【Methods】 Type 2 diabetic patients with euthyroidism who were hospitalized in the Endocrinology Department of The Second Affiliated Hospital of Xi’an Jiaotong University from February 2016 to September 2018 were enrolled in this study. Bioelectric impedance analysis was used to measure body composition, and the thyroid function indicators (FT3, FT4, and TSH) were tested. The male and female subjects were matched according to the ratio of 2:1 using the propensity score matching method, and the correlation between body composition and thyroid function indicators was studied in different genders by correlation analysis. 【Results】 The basal metabolic rate, trunk fat mass, fat-free mass, fat-free mass index, bone mass, water mass, total body muscle mass, skeletal muscle mass, and skeletal muscle index were positively correlated with FT3 in male patients (P<0.05). The percentage of body fat mass and fat mass index were positively correlated with FT3 and TSH (P<0.05), and the percentages of lean mass, water mass, and total body muscle mass were negatively correlated with FT3 and TSH (P<0.05), and the basal metabolic rate was negatively correlated with FT4 (P<0.05) in female. 【Conclusion】 In euthyroid type 2 diabetic patients, the correlation between body composition and thyroid function indicators are different between males and females. In males, only FT3 is positively correlated with basal metabolic rate, trunk fat mass, and fat free-related composition; while in females, both FT3 and TSH are positively correlated with fat-related composition, but negatively correlated with fat-free-related composition.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To understand the thyroid function of the physical examination population in Tangshan area, and analyze the effects of thyroid function on blood lipids, fasting blood glucose (FPG), and serum 25 hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D].Methods:A population from the Tangshan area who underwent physical examinations at the Kailuan General Hospital from June 2020 to June 2021 was selected as the study subjects and the levels of their thyroid serological indicators [thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), free triiodothyronine (FT3), free thyroxine (FT4), triiodothyronine (TT3), and thyroid hormone (TT4)] were tested. According to thyroid function, they were divided into normal group, hyperthyroidism group, hypothyroidism group, subclinical hyperthyroidism group, and subclinical hypothyroidism group. We compared the blood lipid indicators [triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C)], FPG, and 25(OH)D levels in different subgroups, and the Pearson correlation analysis was used to investigate the correlation between TSH levels and blood lipids, FPG, and 25(OH)D levels.Results:In this study, 2 884 subjects were selected from the physical examination population in Tangshan area. The proportion of people with abnormal thyroid function was 12.03%(347/2 884), among which the proportion of subclinical thyroid function abnormal population in the total thyroid function abnormal population was 80.69%(280/347). As men age, the proportion of thyroid dysfunction in the age groups of 21-<30 years old, 30-<40 years old, 40-<50 years old, and ≥50 years old was 5.06%(4/79), 7.52%(33/439), 8.91%(53/595), and 9.95%(66/663), respectively. The proportion of thyroid dysfunction in the above age group of women was 14.02%(15/107), 15.06%(61/405), 15.47%(67/433), and 29.45%(48/163). The serum TG, TC, LDL-C, and 25(OH)D levels in the hyperthyroidism group were lower than those in the normal group, while HDL-C and FPG levels were higher than those in the normal group, with statistically significant differences (all P<0.05). The serum TG and TC in the hypothyroidism group were higher than those in the normal group, while FPG and 25(OH)D were lower than those in the normal group, with statistically significant differences (all P<0.05). TSH levels were positively correlated with TC and LDL-C, while negatively correlated with FPG and 25(OH)D (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Subclinical thyroid dysfunction is the main cause of thyroid dysfunction in the Tangshan area, and TSH levels are correlated with blood lipids, fasting blood glucose, and serum 25(OH)D levels.

ABSTRACT

This study identified the anti-depression targets of Kaixin San(KXS) in the brain tissue with "target fishing" strategy, and explored the target-associated pharmacological signaling pathways to reveal the anti-depression molecular mechanism of KXS. The Balb/c mouse model of depression was established by chronic unpredictable mild stress(CUMS) and the anti-depression effect of KXS was evaluated by forced swimming test and sucrose preference test. KXS active components were bonded to the benzophenone-modified magnetic nanoparticles by photocrosslinking reaction for capturing target proteins from cortex, thalamus and hippocampus of depressive mice. The target proteins were identified by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry(LC-MS/MS). The enrichment analysis on signaling pathways was performed by Cytoscape. The potential biological functions of targets were verified by immunohistochemistry and Western blot assay. The results showed that KXS significantly improved the behavioral indexes. There were 64, 91, and 44 potential targets of KXS identified in cortex, thalamus, and hippocampus, respectively, according to the target identification experiment. The functions of these targets were mainly associated with vasopressin-regulated water reabsorption, salmonella infection, thyroid hormone synthesis, and other signaling pathways. Besides, the results of immunohistochemistry and Western blot showed that KXS up-regulated the expressions of argipressine(AVP) in the cortex, heat shock protein 60(HSP60), cytochrome C oxidase 4(COX4), and thyrotropin-releasing hormone(TRH) in the thalamus, and down-regulated the expressions of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) and nuclear factor kappa B(NF-κB) p65 in the thalamus. Therefore, KXS may exert anti-depression effect through regulating vasopressin signaling pathway in the cortex and inflammation, energy metabolism, and thyroid hormone signaling pathways in the thalamus, and the effect of KXS on hippocampus is not significant.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Objective It is well known that female infertility is multifactorial. Therefore, we aimed to compare the effects of thyroid dysfunction, vitamin deficiency, and microelement deficiency in fertile and infertile patients. Materials and Methods Between May 1st, 2017, and April 1st, 2019, we conducted a retrospective case-control study with of 380 infertile and 346 pregnant patients (who normally fertile and able to conceive spontaneously). The fertile patients were selected among those who got pregnant spontaneously without treatment, had a term birth, and did not have systemic or obstetric diseases. The levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), triiodothyronine (T3), thyroxine (T4), anti-thyroid peroxidase (anti-TPO), vitamin D, vitamin B12, folic acid, ferritin, and zinc of both groups were compared. Results There was no difference between patients in the infertile and pregnant groups in terms of low normal and high serum T3 and T4 levels (p = 0.938; p > 0.05) respectively, nor in terms of normal and high anti-TPO levels (p = 0.182; p > 0.05) respectively. There was no significant difference regarding patients with low, insufficient, and sufficient vitamin D levels in the infertile and pregnant groups (p = 0.160; p >0.05) respectively. The levels of folic acid, ferritin, and zinc of the infertile group were significantly lower than those of the pregnant group. Conclusion The serum levels of folic acid, ferritin, and zinc in infertile patients presenting to our outpatient clinic were lower than those o the fertile patients.


Resumo Objetivo Sabe-se que a infertilidade feminina é multifatorial. Portanto, nosso objetivo foi comparar os efeitos da disfunção tireoidiana, deficiência de vitaminas e deficiência de microelementos em pacientes férteis e inférteis. Materiais e Métodos Entre 1° de maio de 2017 e 1° de abril de 2019, realizamos um estudo retrospectivo caso-controle com 380 pacientes inférteis e 346 grávidas (normalmente férteis e capazes de conceber espontaneamente). As pacientes férteis foram selecionadas entre aquelas que engravidaram espontaneamente sem tratamento, tiveram parto a termo e não apresentavam doenças sistêmicas ou obstétricas. Os níveis de hormônio estimulante da tireoide (TSH), triiodotironina (T3), tiroxina (T4), antitireoide peroxidase (anti-TPO), vitamina D, vitamina B12, ácido fólico, ferritina e zinco de ambos os grupos foram comparados. Resultados Não houve diferença entre as pacientes dos grupos inférteis e gestantes em relação aos níveis altos de sérumT3 e T4 normais baixos e altos (p = 0,938; p > 0,05), respectivamente nem aos níveis normais e altos de anti-TPO (p = 0,182; p > 0,05), respectivamente. Não houve diferença significativa em relação aos pacientes com níveis baixos, insuficientes e suficientes de vitamina D nos grupos inférteis e gestantes (p = 0,160; p > 0,05), respectivamente. Os níveis de ácido fólico, ferritina e zinco do grupo infértil foram significativamente menores do que os do grupo grávida. Conclusão Os níveis de sérum de ácido fólico, ferritina e zinco nas pacientes inférteis atendidas em nosso ambulatório foram menores do que nas pacientes férteis.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Objective: The aim of this study was to describe the status of thyroid function in infants with severe intestinal dysfunction. Case description: A retrospective study was conducted in a tertiary neonatal intensive care center, including newborns and infants with severe intestinal dysfunction, hospitalized between 2015 and 2020. From the medical records, the following data were collected: gestational age, birth weight, underlying pathology that led to intestinal dysfunction, hospital stay, presence of thyroid dysfunction, age from the onset of thyroid dysfunction, initial and maximum dose of levothyroxine replacement, and levothyroxine administration route and outcome. Seven children (0.76% of 914 hospitalizations) developed severe intestinal insufficiency: vanishing gastroschisis (42.9%), Berdon syndrome (28.5%), apple peel (14.3%), and OIES syndrome (14.3%) - omphalocele, exstrophy of cloaca, imperforate anus, and spina bifida. The mean gestational age was 33.3±1.6 weeks, the mean birth weight was 2,113.9±370.9 g, the median hospitalization was 420 days, and mortality was 42.9%. Of these seven cases, four (57.1%) presented thyroid dysfunction, evaluated by blood hormone dosages and the dose of levothyroxine replacement ranged from 25 to 100 μg/day, administered by gastric or rectal route. Comments: This series of cases draws attention to thyroid dysfunction (hypothyroidism) in children with severe intestinal insufficiency receiving exclusive parenteral nutrition for a prolonged period, whose etiology is iodine deficiency, because, in Brazil, micronutrient solutions added to parenteral nutrition do not contain iodine.


RESUMO Objetivo: Descrever o status da função tireoidiana em lactentes com disfunção intestinal grave. Descrição do caso: Estudo retrospectivo, realizado em um centro de terapia intensiva neonatal de nível terciário, que incluiu recém-nascidos e lactentes com disfunção intestinal grave, internados entre 2015 e 2020. Dos prontuários foram obtidos: idade gestacional; peso de nascimento; patologia de base que levou à disfunção intestinal; tempo de internação; presença de disfunção tireoidiana; idade no início da disfunção tireoidiana; dose inicial e máxima da reposição de levotiroxina; via de administração da levotiroxina e desfecho. Sete crianças (0,76% do total de 914 internações) evoluíram com insuficiência intestinal grave: vanishing gastrosquise (42,9%), síndrome de Berdon (28,5), apple peel (14,3%) e síndrome onfalocele, ânus imperfurado, extrofia de cloaca e espinha bífida — OIES (14,3%). A média de idade gestacional foi de 33,3±1,6 semanas e de peso ao nascimento de 2113,9±370,9 gramas; a mediana de internação foi de 420 dias e a mortalidade foi de 42,9%. Desses sete casos, quatro (57,1%) apresentaram disfunção tireoidiana, avaliada por dosagens hormonais séricas, e a dose de reposição de levotiroxina variou de 25 a 100 mcg/dia, administrada por via gástrica ou retal. Comentários: Esta série de casos chama a atenção para a disfunção tireoidiana (hipotireoidismo) em crianças com insuficiência intestinal severa que receberam nutrição parenteral exclusiva por tempo prolongado, cuja etiologia é a deficiência de iodo, pois no Brasil as soluções de micronutrientes adicionadas à nutrição parenteral não contêm iodo.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: La placenta sintetiza y secreta varias hormonas que permiten la regulación del embarazo, el trabajo de parto y la adaptación metabólica materno-fetal. Su comportamiento asociado al tipo de parto puede dar información relevante sobre efectos epigenéticos. Objetivo: Describir el tipo de parto con los niveles de oxitocina, cortisol y hormonas tiroideas en plasma de cordón umbilical al nacer. Método: A 50 mujeres con embarazos principalmente normales se les cuantificaron los niveles neurohormonales en plasma de cordón umbilical, obtenido inmediatamente tras el periodo expulsivo. Los resultados se incorporaron a la base de datos clínicos de cada participante y se analizaron con Stata v.14.0. El protocolo fue aprobado por el comité de ética. Resultados: Hubo 33 partos vaginales (12 espontáneos, 13 acelerados y 8 inducidos) y 17 cesáreas (7 electivas y 10 de urgencia). Se observaron mayores niveles de cortisol en los partos vaginales acelerados; las cesáreas tuvieron menores niveles de cortisol y hormona estimulante de la tiroides. Las intervenciones clínicas, con altos o bajos niveles hormonales, están en directa relación con el tipo de parto. Conclusiones: El cortisol y la hormona estimulante de la tiroides medidos en plasma de cordón umbilical variaron según el tipo de parto. Esto es una primera cuantificación de hormonas en plasma de cordón umbilical y su posible regulación placentaria a propósito del tipo de parto.


Introduction: The placenta synthesizes and secretes several hormones allowing the regulation of pregnancy, labor and maternal-fetal metabolic adaptation. Their behavior associated with the type of delivery, may provide relevant information on epigenetic effects. Objective: To describe the type of delivery with the levels of oxytocin, cortisol and thyroid hormones in umbilical cord plasma at birth. Method: Neurohormonal levels from umbilical cord plasma obtained immediately post expulsion, were quantified in 50 women with mainly normal pregnancies. Results incorporated into the clinical database of each participant, statistically analyzed in Stata v.14.0. Protocol approved by ethics committee. Results: 33 were vaginal deliveries (12 spontaneous, 13 accelerated, 8 induced) and 17 cesarean sections (7 elective and 10 emergency). Higher cortisol levels were observed in accelerated vaginal deliveries, cesarean sections had lower cortisol and thyroid stimulating hormone levels. While clinical interventions, with high or low hormone levels, were related to the type of delivery. Conclusions: Cortisol and thyroid stimulating hormone measured in umbilical cord plasma varied according to the type of delivery. This is a first quantification of hormones in umbilical cord plasma and their possible placental regulation in relation to the type of delivery.
