A manual hand search of articles was also done. We selected studies that measure cardiovascular risk and all-cause mortality risk after reversion from prediabetes to normoglycemia. The following terms and its variant were used in the search strategy: 'reversion,' 'prediabetes,' 'normoglycemia,' cardiovascular risk,' and 'mortality.'Results: Seven studies with a total of 73,845 participants were obtained. Most studies suggest that reversion of prediabetes reduced the cardiovascular and all-cause mortality risk (RR: 0.50 - 0.78) compared to persistent prediabetes state or progression to diabetes with long-term follow-up ranging from 5 to 12 years, while two studies did not show significant association in CVD and all-cause morality risk.Conclusion: Although there were mixed results regarding if prediabetes poses a higher risk than normoglycemia for cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality, measures to normalize blood glucose for prediabetes should still be advocated.","PeriodicalId":50902,"journal":{"name":"Acta Endocrinologica-Bucharest","volume":"20 1","pages":"74-79"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11449248/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142382282","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}

From 18349 neonates registered in the MEDILOG program for TSH screening we calculated the percentage of neonatal TSH >5 mIU/L (<3% indicating adequate iodine intake).Results: mUIC in schoolchildren was 141 µg/L (bootstrapped 95% CI 134, 146), showing adequate iodine intake in all but 1 county; mUIC was similar in historical endemic and non-endemic counties (140 µg/L and 143 ug/L, respectively) and in urban and rural areas (140 µg/L and 142 µg/L, respectively); mUIC/UCC = 118 ug/g. Iodized salt was used in 62% of households. In children using iodized salt (61.7%), mUIC was higher than in those using coarse (non-iodized) salt (24.6%): 150 vs. 121 µg/L (p<0.001). The percentage of nTSH >5 mIU/L was 14.7% (3.2%-27.3%), higher in non-endemic counties and urban areas.Conclusion: The current salt iodization program for households and bakery industry ensures an adequate iodine intake in schoolchildren. Discordantly, nTSH levels indicate a mild-moderate ID in neonates, suggesting ID in pregnant women. The percentage of households using iodized salt is below the recommended >90% needed for an efficient ID prevention program.

The most common complaints found in our study were burning sensation and numbness in the extremities.Conclusions: Similar to diabetic patients, prediabetic patients also have a high rate of neuropathy.

As a major member of the metallothionein (MT) family, metallothionein2 (MT2) can scavenge ROS in osteoblasts. However, the role of MT2 in osteoclastogenesis and ROS production in osteoclast precursors (OCPs) is unknown.Material and methods: In this study, we first investigated MT2 expression level in osteoporotic model mice. Next, we explored the roles of MT2 in osteoclastic differentiation and ROS production in OCPs. Ultimately, via rescue assays based on hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), the significance of ROS in MT-2-regulated osteoclastic differentiation was further elucidated.Results: Compared with sham operated (Sham) mice, ovariectomized (OVX) mice displayed bone marrow primary OCPs (Ly6C+CD11b-) having higher ROS levels and lower MT2 expression. MT2 overexpression inhibited the formation of mature osteoclasts, while MT2 knockdown was contrary. Moreover, MT2 overexpression inhibited ROS production in OCPs, while MT2 knockdown exhibited the opposite effects. Notably, the inhibitory effect of MT2 overexpression on osteoclastogenesis and ROS production was blocked by the addition of H2O2.Conclusion: MT2 inhibits osteoclastogenesis through repressing ROS production in OCPs, which indicates that the strategy of upregulating MT2 in OCPs may be applied to the clinical treatment of osteoclastic bone loss.","PeriodicalId":50902,"journal":{"name":"Acta Endocrinologica-Bucharest","volume":"19 4","pages":"447-455"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11197834/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141460524","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}

In addition to interstitial extravasated lymphocytes, capillaries were encircled by MFBs (mean distance from lumen 1.248± 0.43µm) with the characteristic electron-dense α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), confirmable in higher magnifications. Myofibroblastic projections were found to have significantly higher representation near the capillary lumen compared to the impaired endothelial lining (P < 0.01).Conclusion: Our TEM findings suggest that the intrusion of endothelia by myofibroblastic projections can be a significant factor towards the malfunction of follicular cells in HT patients and offer a paradigmal understanding of the ultrastructural interactions that may underlie the HT pathology.","PeriodicalId":50902,"journal":{"name":"Acta Endocrinologica-Bucharest","volume":"19 4","pages":"415-420"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11197825/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141460525","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}
