Thyroid hormone

Thyroid hormone (triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4)), produced by the thyroid gland, plays an important role in regulation of metabolism, including directly boosts energy metabolism and triggers rapid protein synthesis and regulates mitochondrial gene transcription, etc. Iodine is necessary for the production of T3and T4, deficiency of Iodine can lead to enlarge thyroid grand and goitre.

Thyroid hormone: Thyroid function in the nutritionally obese child and adolescent

In the study to evaluate the prevalence of disturbed thyroid hormone and TSH values in childhood obesity and the underlying pathophysiologic mechanisms linking obesity to thyroid function.l, showed that in the past 18 months, four studies demonstrated moderate elevation of TSH concentrations in 10-23% of obese children, which was associated with normal or slightly elevated thyroxine and triiodothyronine values. Two studies reported ultrasonographic hypoechogenicity of the thyroid in obese children with hyperthyrotropinemia, which was not caused by autoimmune thyroiditis; therefore, the authors hypothesized a link to chronic inflammation in obesity. Weight loss led to a normalization of elevated TSH levels in two studies. The adipokine leptin is the most promising link between obesity and hyperthyrotropinemia since leptin stimulates the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid(64).

Thyroid hormone: Thyroid cancer and I-131 therapy

Thyroid hormone: Thyroid cancer and I-131 therapy

In the study in overview of the benefits of I-131 therapy for ablation, adjuvant treatment, and treatment of locoregional and/or metastasis of well-differentiatedthyroid cancer and considers the risks of complications of I-131 therapy, showed that although there are never-ending controversies regarding I-131 therapy in well-differentiated thyroid cancer, the benefits and risks are becoming better understood. This in turn helps the treating physician and patient in making decisions regarding therapy(63).

Thyroid hormone: Treatment of patients with anaplastic thyroid cancer

Thyroid hormone: Treatment of patients with anaplastic thyroid cancer

Anaplastic thyroid cancer is known to have a poor prognosis due to its aggressive and rapid metastasis with median survival of less than 6 months. In a retrospectively reviewed medical records of 13 anaplastic thyroid cancer patients who received multidisciplinary treatment between 2006 and 2010, showed thatthe median patient age at diagnosis was 69 years, and six patients had stage IVc diseases. Eight patients received primary surgery followed by radiotherapy or concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT). Five patients received weekly doxorubicin-based definitive CCRT, but only one patient's condition remained stable, while the rest experienced rapid disease progression. The median progression-free survival was 2.8 months (95% CI, 1.2-4.4 months), and the median overall survival was 3.8 months (95% CI, 3.0-4.6 months)(62).

Thyroid hormone Analysis of patients with anaplastic thyroid cancer

Thyroid hormone Analysis of patients with anaplastic thyroid cancer

In the study to to analyze the clinicopathologic characteristics of patients diagnosed with ATC expected to undergo curative thyroidectomy, with the goal of finding differences between patients surviving ≥6 months and <6 months, found that ATC showed female predominance. Patients initially presented with neck mass, and median age was 55 years. In patients with ATC who are expected to undergo curative thyroidectomy, surgery should actively be considered as primary therapy for patient survival when the size is <5 cm(61).

Thyroid hormone: Thyroid Nodule Size and Cancer

Thyroid hormone: Thyroid Nodule Size and Cancer

In the study to evaluate the association of nodule size upon cancer risk in a retrospective cohort analysis at an academic hospital with 4955 consecutive patients evaluated between 1995 and 2009, found that Increasing thyroid nodule size impacts cancer risk in a nonlinear fashion. A threshold is detected at 2.0 cm, beyond which cancer risk is unchanged. However, the risk of follicular carcinomas and other rare thyroid malignancies increases as nodules enlarge(60).

Thyroid hormone: Hereditary medullary thyroid carcinoma (HMTC)

Thyroid hormone: Hereditary medullary thyroid carcinoma (HMTC)

In the study to investigate the role of germline inheritance of polymorphisms in CYP1A2*F, CYP1A1m1, GSTP1, NAT2 and TP53 genes in hereditary medullarythyroid carcinoma (HMTC) patients of 132 patients with HMTC, 88 first-degree relatives of HMTC patients and 575 control individuals, found that
the inheritance of specific genes determining the individual response to environmental toxins may contribute to the risk and phenotypic variability that exists in patients with HMTC(59).

Thyroid hormone: Thyroid disease in pregnancy and childhood

Thyroid hormone: Thyroid disease in pregnancy and childhood

Thyroid function in pregnancy is characterised by a T4 surge at 12 weeks declining thereafter. Fetal brain development depends on T4 transport into the fetus which in turn depends on sufficient maternal iodine supply. In the study to measure free T4 using direct equilibrium dialysis, as well as total T4 and TSH in 287 pregnant women at 27 weeks' gestation, found that Increasing maternal TSH was related to better performance on tests of cognition and language at 12 months but not at later ages. At 60 months, there was inconsistent evidence that higher TSH was related to improved attention. We found no convincing evidence that maternal TH during the second half of pregnancy was related to impaired child neurodevelopment(58).
