概括
这项研究评估了自主运作的甲状腺结节 (AFTN),发现大多数是euthyroid,在超声波上具有中间恶性瘤风险. 没有检测到任何AFTN恶性瘤,但在不确定的细胞学病例中,遗传突变很常见.
科学领域:
- 内分泌学 在内分泌学.
- 放射学 放射学是一门学科.
- 在瘤学瘤学.
背景情况:
- 自主功能甲状腺结节 (AFTN) 需要对临床,成像和细胞学特征进行全面评估.
- 了解AFTN的风险分层和分子格局对于患者管理至关重要.
研究的目的:
- 评估AFTN.的临床,超声波 (美国),细胞学和组织学特征.
- 为了将美国的发现与恶性瘤风险相关联,并评估未确定细胞学病例中的分子变化.
主要方法:
- 67名AFTN患者的前性研究,包括甲状腺功能测试,99mTcO4-和123I光学,以及EU-TIRADS分类的美国患者.
- 进行了美国指导的细针吸收 (FNA) 细胞学,不确定样本接受了DNA测序.
- 对手术切除的结节进行了组织学分析.
主要成果:
- 大多数AFTN患者是euthyroid,结节通常在美国显示中间恶性瘤风险 (EU-TIRADS 3/4).
- 51%的FNA细胞学结果是不确定的,60%的结果含有致病性TSHR或GNAS突变.
- 在12个手术治疗的AFTN中没有发现恶性病变.
结论:
- 经常存在的AFTN与正常的甲状腺功能和中等的美国恶性瘤风险.
- 由于存在常见的遗传突变,AFTN中不确定的细胞学需要进一步调查.
- 目前的发现表明,在评估的AFTN中恶性瘤的风险很低,即使不确定细胞学.

Synthesis and Regulation of Thyroid Hormones
4.6K
Low blood levels of the thyroid hormones — triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) — signal the hypothalamus to release the thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH). TRH then reaches the pituitary gland and stimulates the release of thyroid-stimulating hormone(TSH) into the bloodstream.
Upon reaching the thyroid gland, TSH stimulates the follicular cells' active uptake of iodide ions from the blood. The ions diffuse to the apical surface of the cells and are oxidized to iodine. The...

The Thyroid Gland
3.9K
The thyroid gland is a small, butterfly-shaped gland located in the neck and covers the anterior surface of the trachea. The gland has two lateral lobes connected by a thin tissue mass called the isthmus. Internally, each lobe comprises many small spherical structures known as thyroid follicles, surrounded by a network of blood vessels.
The follicles have a central cavity lined by simple cuboidal to squamous epithelial cells called follicular cells. These cells produce the glycoprotein...
