The correlations of luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), estradiol (E2) levels with the TDH parameters were determined and ROC curve analysis was performed.Results: NT, TT and NT/TT ratio were higher in the PT and PP groups compared to the control group (p<0.01). Disulfide/NT ratio and disulfide/TT ratio were lower in the PT and PP groups compared to the control group (p<0.05). All the TDH values did not statistically differ between the PP and PT group (p>0.05). There was a positive correlation between LH level, FSH level, and NT level, TT level, NT/TT ratio. The best parameter to discriminate PT or PT and control groups were NT and TT (p<0.01).Conclusion: TDH is altered in girls with PT and PP. NT and TT levels can be useful to discriminate prepubertal girls with lipomastia and girls with PP and PT in clinical practice. Further studies on larger cohorts of patients are required to clarify our results.","PeriodicalId":50902,"journal":{"name":"Acta Endocrinologica-Bucharest","volume":"20 1","pages":"5-11"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11449253/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142382277","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Comorbidities, mineral and bone metabolism parameters were evaluated. Total alkaline phosphatase (T-ALP) was used to assess bone turnover. Atherosclerosis was evaluated by carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT), endothelial calcifications by aortic calcification score (ACS), and arterial stiffness by cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI). Vitamin D deficiency was defined as 25(OH)D <15 ng/mL. Factors associated with vitamin D, T-ALP and vascular parameters were assessed in multivariate regression models.Results: Prevalence of vitamin D deficiency was 63% and median 25(OH)D was 12.8 ng/mL. Older age, female sex and higher parathormone were predictors of vitamin D deficiency. Increased T-ALP was predicted by higher parathormone, suggesting high turnover bone disease. While age was a determinant of all evaluated vascular parameters, lower 25(OH)D was associated only with endothelial calcifications, which correlated with CAVI, suggesting a direct relation between vitamin D deficiency mediated plaques calcification and arterial stiffness.Conclusion: Vitamin D deficiency was highly prevalent in this non-dialysis CKD cohort and was related to age, sex and parathormone. Vitamin D deficiency was associated with increased calcifications of endothelial plaques, which seemed to increase arterial stiffness.","PeriodicalId":50902,"journal":{"name":"Acta Endocrinologica-Bucharest","volume":"20 1","pages":"12-20"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11449234/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142382293","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

MicroRNAs (miRNAs/miRs) are non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. MicroRNAs can be used a diagnostic and therapeutic tools in different disorders such as endometriosis. MiR-181 has a function in embryo implantation. The main aim of this study is to evaluate the expression of miR-181 and its relationship with HOXA11 gene expression in ectopic and eutopic endometrium tissues in women with endometriosis.Study design: Thirty-four women participated in this study. Ectopic tissue samples (N=17) were collected via laparoscopic surgery, and eutopic tissue samples (N=17) were obtained from an endometrial biopsy. Endometrial tissue samples without endometriosis were considered the control group. Tissue samples were placed in RNase-free microtube with RNAlater™ Stabilization Solution (Thermo Fisher Scientific) and were kept at -80 °C. Quantitative real time-PCR for MiR-181 and HOXA11 genes were performed.Results: MiR-181 expression level increased in eutopic tissue samples compared to the control group. This expression showed a significantly decrease in an ectopic group compared to the eutopic group. It was observed that HOXA11expression decreased remarkably in eutopic group compared to the control group and increased in ectopic group compared to the eutopic group.Conclusion: MiR-181 and HOXA11 are promising strategies in endometriosis disease. Understanding this relation and regulation roles contribute to realizing the etiology of endometriosis.","PeriodicalId":50902,"journal":{"name":"Acta Endocrinologica-Bucharest","volume":"20 1","pages":"33-38"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11449244/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142382279","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The dose-volume parameters of the thyroid gland, PTV (Planning Target Volume) along with thyroid profile were analyzed.Results: Twenty-six patients were recruited. Thyroid V50Gy of the study group (65.33 ±6.63 %) was significantly lower than that of control group (80.35 ±13.40 %) (p=0.003).
