Thyroid-specific changes following treatment with biological therapies in patients with rheumatic diseasesEndocrine - Tập 50 - Trang 146-153 - 2015
Michail Kaklamanos, Dimitrios Thomas, Dimitrios Pikazis, Gregory Kaltsas
Biological anti-rheumatic agents (BAA) may induce autoimmune phenomena. Evidence on thyroid-specific effects of these agents is relatively limited. We studied prospectively, over 3 years, 36 rheumatic patients treated with BAA (18 Infliximab and 18 Rituximab) and no prior exposure to biological therapies (group-1), with respect to their thyroid function, thyroid antibody titers, and thyroid ultras...... hiện toàn bộ
The collagen matrix regulates the survival and function of pancreatic isletsEndocrine - - Trang 1-11 - 2023

The extracellular matrix (ECM) provides an appropriate microenvironment for many kinds of cells, including pancreatic cells. Collagens are the most abundant components of the ECM. Type I, IV, V and VI collagen has been detected in pancreatic islets, and each type plays important role in the proliferation, survival, function and differentiation of pancreatic cells. In some cases, collagens show beh...... hiện toàn bộ
Insulin-like growth factor-1 causes a switch-like reduction of endogenous growth hormone mRNA in rat MtT/S somatotroph cellsEndocrine - Tập 13 - Trang 71-79 - 2000
Ty C. Voss, Teresa M. Mangin, David L. Hurley
Reduction of mRNA expression from the endogenous GH gene by insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) in somatotroph-like rat MtT/S cells was measured. GH mRNA levels were reduced by 65 nMIGF-1 treatment in a time-dependent manner over 5 d of culture with a calculated GH mRNA half-life of 50 h, in line with previous values from primary cultures. Inhibition of inositol 3-phosphate kinase by wortmannin o...... hiện toàn bộ
Progression and dormancy in metastatic thyroid cancer: concepts and clinical implicationsEndocrine - Tập 70 - Trang 24-35 - 2020
Neel Rajan, Tilak Khanal, Matthew D. Ringel
Distant metastasis classically has been defined as a late-stage event in cancer progression. However, it has become clear that metastases also may occur early in the “lifetime” of a cancer and that they may remain stable at distant sites. This stability of metastatic cancer deposits has been termed “metastatic dormancy” or, as we term it, “metastatic progression dormancy” as the progression either...... hiện toàn bộ
Study of the role of novel RF-amide neuropeptides in affecting growth hormone secretion in a representative non-human primate (Macaca mulatta)Endocrine - Tập 42 - Trang 658-663 - 2012
Fatima Qaiser, Fazal Wahab, Muhammad Amin Wiqar, Rizwan Hashim, Jerome Leprince, Hubert Vaudry, Manuel Tena-Sempere, Muhammad Shahab
RF amide peptide family with distinctive terminal –Arg–Phe–NH2 signature is evolutionarily conserved from invertebrates to mammals. These neuropeptides have been shown to affect diverse functions in invertebrates and vertebrates including influencing pituitary hormone secretion. More recently, two members of this family 26-amino acid and 43-amino acid RF amide peptide (26RFa and 43RFa, respectivel...... hiện toàn bộ
Impact of microvascular complications on the outcomes of diabetic foot in type 2 diabetic patients with documented peripheral artery diseaseEndocrine - Tập 80 - Trang 71-78 - 2022

Microvascular disease (MVD) is associated with amputation linked to peripheral artery disease (PAD) in the general population. No study evaluated the impact of diabetic microvascular complications on the outcomes of vascular diabetic foot ulcers (DFU). The aim of the study was to investigate whether retinopathy, nephropathy, and polyneuropathy can predict the outcomes of DFU in type 2 diabetic pat...... hiện toàn bộ
