목적: 분화성 갑상선 암 환자의 수술 후 고용량 방사성 옥소 치료 및 치료 후 추적 관찰시 촬영하는 I-131 전신 스캔시 I-131를 투여하기위해서는 환자의 혈청 내 TSH가 최소한 $30{\mu}U/ml$이상으로 상승되어 있어야 한다. 이에 필요한 기간이 수술 후 $4{\sim}6$주, 갑상선 호르몬(T4제제)를 복용 중단은 4주 이상 이라고 알려져 있다. 이 기간 중 환자는 갑상선 기능저하로 인한 불편함을 호소하기도 하며, 악성도가 높은 암인 경우에는 병변이 크게 진행할 가능성도 있다. 저자들은 수술후 및 갑상선 호르몬 복용중단시기에 따른 혈청 TSH치의 변화를 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법 : 2004년 $4{\sim}8$월사이 분화성 갑삼선암으로 갑상선 전절제술을 시행한후 처음 방사성 옥소 치료를 받은 10명 및 방사성 옥소 치료 후 6개월$\sim$l년 사이 처음 추적 I-131 전신 스캔을 촬영한 12명을 대상으로 갑상선 호르몬 중단 후 혈청 TSH치의 변화와 갑상선 기능저하로 인한 증상을 반영하는 변형된 Billewicz index를 이용해 평가하였다. 혈청 TSH치가 $30{\mu}U/ml$ 이상인 경우는 충분한 상승으로 판단하였다(성공율: SR). 결과: A군은 수술 전 평균 TSH $1.4{\pm}0.7{\mu}U/ml$ 이었으며, 1주 평균 TSH $12.6{\mu}U/ml(N=4,\;1.3{\sim}21.2{\mu}U/ml)$, 2주 평균 TSH $43.0{\pm}17.5{\mu}U/ml$ (N=9, $19.1{\sim}79.6{\mu}U/ml$, SR=78%), 3주 평균 TSH $72.1{\pm}23.6{\mu}U/ml$ (N=9, $28.5{\sim}103.2{\mu}U/ml$, SR=89%), 4주 평균 TSH $96.4{\pm}41.2{\mu}U/ml$ (N=5, $33.8{\sim}138.3{\mu}U/ml$) 이었다. B군은 호르몬 복용중지 직전 평균 TSH $0.1{\mu}U/ml$ 이하였으며, 이후 2주 평균 TSH $15.8{\pm}13.9{\mu}U/ml$ (N=12, $0.2{\sim}41.6{\mu}U/ml$, SR=17%), 3주 평균 TSH $81.0{\pm}47.2{\mu}U/ml$ (N=10, $19.8{\sim}113.5{\mu}U/ml$, SR=90%), 4주 평균 TSH $109.4{\pm}24.1{\mu}U/ml$ (N=8, $67.3{\sim}136.2{\mu}U/ml$) 이었다. 4주 이내 A군과 B군의 환자들에게서 현저한 갑상선 기능저하로 인한 불편함 호소는 없었다. 결론: 본 연구에서는 수술 후 또는 갑상선 호르몬 복용 중지 후 현저한 갑상선 기능저하로 인한 불편함을 호소하지 않는 시기 내에서, 특히 약90%의 환자에서는 3주에 혈청 TSH 치가 $30{\mu}U/ml$ 이상 상승하였다.

This experiment was performed to study the effect of TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) on the expression of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) chaperones in the rat thyrocytes FRTL-5 cells. Although the expressions of ER membrane kinases (ATF6, IRE1 and PERK) were specially enhanced under absence of TSH, no remarkable up- or down regulations of ER chaperones (BiP, CHOP and Calnexin) were detected by TSH. We firstly report here that TSH by dose up-regulated expression of ER membrane kinases in FRTL-5 culture thyrocytes.

Hydrogenations of BR and NR performed by a noncatalytic method using p-toluenesulphonylhydrazide were carried out by reactive processing. The experimental procedures for carrying out the reaction were established. Two steps comprising premixing of the rubber with TSH followed by hydrogenation in compression mould were proved to be suitable. The percentages of hydrogenation attained by reactive processing were higher than those of the reaction carried out in solution at the same [TSH]/[C=C] ratio, reaction temperature and time. In-creasing the reaction temperature and reaction time resulted in increases of the percentage of hydrogenation. For BR, the maximum percentage of hydrogenation obtained was 36% at [TSH]/[C=C]=1/1.5. For NR, the highest percentage of hydrogenation was 34% at [TSH]/[C=C]=1/1.5. Cis-trans isomerisation was also observed to occur during hydrogenation of both BR and NR. Thermal stabilities of the hydrogenated BR and NR were shown to improve over those or the unhydrogenated counterparts.

Novel polysilamethylenosilanes (PSMS) were prepared by Wurtz type co-condensation of various mixtures of 2,4,4,6-tetrachloro-2,6-dimethyl-2,4,6-trisilahept ane (TSH) and dimethyldichlorosilane (D). When TSH was incorporated more than 25 mole%, PSMS polymers were soluble in common organic solvents probably due to the polycarbosilane linkage brought from TSH. The molecular weights of the polymer were measured by gel permeation chromatography and showed higher molecular weight with high TSH content. The thermal gravimetric residues increased as TSH contents increased. These properties suggested that PSMS polymers could be useful as ceramic precursors for silicon carbide.

The occurrence of thyroid disorders is connected with iodine deficiency, defective synthesis or releasing of thyroid hormone and endemicity. Genetic factors are known as a single gene defects, interaction of multiple genes with environmental factors, as well as chromosomal aberrations. Diofnosis thyroid disorders is enforced by I-131 uptake test, thyroid scanning with I-131 or Tc-99 m and serum radioimmunoassays of T3, T4, free T4 and TSH. They were largely classified as hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, simple goiter and normal. The pedigree of 58 families was drawn by propositus, and then the correlation between thyroid disorders and TSH levels was analyzed. The results are as follows: 1) The offsprings and their mothers of 15 families were hypothyroidism, THS level was 5 folds for offsprings and 4 folds for mothers in comparison with control group. 2) 13 families were hyperthyyroidism in siblings but their mothers were normal in thyroid function, TSH level of the siblings was lower than control group. 3) Though the offsprings and their mothers of 10 families were similar to TSH level of control group, they are all simple goiter, familial thyroid disorders, in other thyroid function test. The familial thyroid disorders suggested that these transmitted from mothers to offsprings with X-linked dominant or autosomal dominant inheritance.

This study identified single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that affect the body weight of chickens. Analysis of body weight showed that the Cornish breed had the highest body weight, and the Korean native chicken (Gray Brown) had the lowest body weight. TSH is composed of an α-subunit and a β-subunit, and the TSH-β gene encoding the β-subunit has been reported to be associated with obesity. In chickens, it is located on chromosome 26 and is reported to be associated with growth. The calcium-sensing receptor gene (CaSR) plays a role in the regulation of extracellular calcium homeostasis and is responsible for calcium absorption in the urinary tract, which affects the eggshell quality in poultry. It was shown that TSH-β was strongly correlated with weight in Cornish and Korean native (Gray Brown) chickens, particularly in those with the CC trait. However, CaSR showed no association with body weight in poultry; it was associated with calcium and the eggshell. Thus, selection for TSH-β can be used to produce individuals with more favorable traits in terms of body weight.

Objective : Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH)-secreting pituitary adenoma (PA) is an extremely rare functioning form of PA that accounts for 0.7-2% of all such cases. The previously reported outcomes of the surgical removal of TSH-PA are poor. Owing to its extremely low incidence, most available reports on TSH-PA are case reports or small case series. Thus, we investigated the clinical and endocrinological outcomes of surgically treated TSH-PA through our institutional series. Methods : We retrospectively reviewed 14 consecutive cases of surgically treated TSH-PA, focusing on the clinical, radiological, surgical, and endocrinological data. Results : There were seven male (50%) and seven female (50%) patients. The mean age was 42.5 years (range, 19-63). The mean tumor size was 16.6 mm (range, 4-30). Optic chiasm compression was noted in six patients (42.9%), and no patient showed cavernous sinus invasion. Thirteen of 14 patients (92.8%) underwent transnasal transsphenoidal approach (TSA), and one patient underwent TSA followed by transcranial approach for residual tumor removal. Thirteen of 14 patients (92.8%) showed endocrinological remission; all patients who experienced remission showed subnormal levels of TSH (<0.4 μU/mL) on postoperative day 2. Recurrence occurred in two patients (14.2%). One patient underwent subsequent revision transnasal TSA for recurrent tumor removal, and the other patient underwent gamma knife radiosurgery for recurrence. Conclusion : Surgical treatment showed excellent surgical outcomes. The TSH level in the immediate postoperative period may be a predictor for endocrinological remission.

갑상선의 기능적 발달 이전인 임신초기에 갑상선자극호르몬은 갑상선 장애 및 임신 동안 매우 민감한 지표이다. 임신동안 정상수준은 감소 변화를 보이는 것은 모체로부터 태아가 받는 갑상선호르몬의 영향이다. 갑상선자극호르몬과 유리 티록신의 농도는 임신동안 및 검사실간에 다양하게 보고된다. 갑상선자극호르몬의 참고치는 비임신군에 비하면 상한값과 하한값의 참고범위의 감소가 임신동안 보인다. 각 실험실은 임신 중에 다른 결과를 산출하는 호르몬 분석법과 일부 자체 기준에 맞는 혈중 농도를 산출한다. 따라서, 혈청 유리 티록신 분석에 사용되는 자동화 된 면역 분석법은 여전히 널리 사용되고 있지만 고려할 사항이 있다. 집단 기준, 삼분위 기간별 특이적 참고범위 사용은 문제해결의 최상의 방법이다. 임신 7~12주에 발생하는 호르몬의 하향은 7주 이전에는 보이지 않아 참고범위의 개별적 정량적으로 상승 및 하강을 보여준다. 본 연구에서는 집단별과 임신 특이적 갑상선 매개 변수의 참조범위에 대한 산출 중요성을 강조한다. 정밀의학 의 도래에 있어서 많은 개체의 유전적, 생물학적, 심리사회학적, 환경적 변수를 수집하고 분석이 필요하다. 이러한 논쟁을 해결하기 위해서는 다량의 전향적인 무작위 통제 연구가 필요하다.

Background and Objectives : Distinguishing benign from malignant lesion in thyroid noddex is important but clinically difficult. FNAB is the first investigation of choice. However, cytologic results are often indeterminable. In those cases, additional molecular biologic tests are helpful. If serologic tests are available to predict malignancy, it can be useful to fortify accurate diagnosis. We analyzed whether TSH or FreeT4 level could be used as a predictor of malignancy. Materials and Methods : From January 2008 to March 2009, 540 patients received one of thyroidectomy in a single center. We only included 167 patients from 18 to 65 years old without cardiopulmonary or renal disorders. All the patients were in euthyroid state and took no medications, which affect the thyroid function. We reviewed charts retrospectively to find out differences in TSH level and FreeT4 level between the benign and malignant groups. Results : In this study, all the patients with malignancy had the papillary cancer. In benign group, average TSH level came out to be 1.48mU/L, whereas the average TSH level of malignant group was 1.98 mU/L. Moreover, the higher the cancer stage was, the higher the TSH level was. Although we have adjusted factors that can affect TSH level(age, sex, race, goiter type), we still received the same result. The risk of malignant cancer increased in proportion with TSH level within the normal range. In free T4 level, there was no difference between benign and malignant group. Conclusion : We propose that TSH level can play a role as one of the predictors for thyroid cancer. However, there is limitation because all the patients with malignancy in this study have papillary cancer. Thus, we can apply this result only in papillary cancer, and we need more study for other types of thyroid cancer.

The author compared indices of thyroid function in 76 patients with panic attack and 80 control subjects. And SCL-90-R was performed to evaluate the relationship between the psychiatric symptoms and thyroid indices in the patients with panic attack The results were as follows: 1). No siginificant differences in T3, T4 or TSH were found between the two groups. But T3 level was significantly lower in male panic patients than male controls(p<0.005). 2) The T3 level was significantly lower in male panic patients who had higher depression socre than average in SCL-90-R(p<0.025). 3) The TSH level was significantly lower in patients with higher anxiety(p<0.001) and phobia(p<0.05) score and in female panic patients(p<0.001) with higher anxiety and phobia score than average in SCL-90-R. 4) The phobic symptom(p<0.001) was siginificantly higher and the T3 level(p<0.005) was lower in the male than the female patients with panic attack.
