概括
三分之一的甲状腺结节 (TNs) 是由于症状而发现的,但只有部质量表现出明显的特征. 其他症状,如消化不良并非特异性的,建议小心进行甲状腺超声波检查.
科学领域:
- 内分泌学
- 放射学
- 耳鼻喉科
背景情况:
- 甲状腺超声波对于诊断甲状腺结节性疾病至关重要.
- 转诊往往是基于非特异性症状,如食障碍或部质量.
- 这些转诊的临床价值仍有争议.
研究的目的:
- 评估因局部症状引起的甲状腺超声波与偶然发现的临床效用.
- 将症状性甲状腺结节 (STNs) 与非症状性结节 (nSTNs) 的特征和结果进行比较.
主要方法:
- 在614名通过US诊断的甲状腺结节 (TNs) 患者进行的回顾性多中心研究.
- 患者被分为有症状 (部质量[NM]或局部症状[LS]) 和无症状组.
- 分析了临床,超声波和管理数据.
主要成果:
- 有症状的TN占病例的28. 7% (19. 2%为NM, 9. 5%为LS).
- 部质量患者的人口结构较年轻,囊较大,FNA更频繁,但恶性瘤发病率相似.
- 局部症状患者没有显著的结节差异,但GERD的患病率较高.
结论:
- 只有部质量表现出明显的结节特征.
- 缺食症和听力障碍是非特异性的症状,通常与GERD有关,而不是TNs.
- 临床怀疑,结节的特征和位置应指导美国的决定,以防止过度使用.

The Thyroid Gland
4.3K
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...

Synthesis and Regulation of Thyroid Hormones
5.1K
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...
