OBJECTIVE: Nonsurgical hypoparathyroidism (ns-HP) is a rare disease. There are few studies on Quality of Life (QoL) among patients with ns-HP. This study aimed to investigate the QoL among ns-HP patients with regular conventional treatment, and explore the influence factors affecting QoL among these Chinese ns-HP patients. METHODS: This is a cross-sectional study comparing 101 patients identified as ns-HP and 101 healthy controls. The questionnaires of Short Form 36 Health Survey questionnaire version 2(SF-36v2) were used to evaluate QoL...

PURPOSE: PCOS is associated with low grade inflammation which could play a role in insulin resistance and ovarian dysfunction. Preliminary findings suggested that serum levels of HMGB1, a cytokine involved in inflammation, might be altered in women with PCOS. Primary aim of this study was to assess whether HMGB1 serum concentrations are associated with PCOS and with the state of insulin resistance of these women. METHODS: Sixty women with PCOS, selected to have a similar proportion of subjects with altered or normal insulin sensitivity, and 29 healthy controls were studied...

PURPOSE: Infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) predisposes to endocrine disorders, manifesting as a metabolic phenotype that affects the entire adipose-musculoskeletal unit (AMS). The present cross-sectional study aimed to investigate differences in irisin and adiponectin concentrations between people living with HIV and healthy controls, as well as to explore potential correlations between the levels of the aforementioned adipokines and markers of calcium homeostasis...

PURPOSE: The precise effects of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs on the neuroendocrine hydro-electrolytic regulation are not precisely understood. The aim of this pilot study was to evaluate, in healthy subjects, the neuroendocrine response of the antidiuretic system to intravenous diclofenac infusion. METHODS: For this single-blinded, cross-over study, we recruited 12 healthy subjects (50% women). Test sessions were divided into three observation times (pre-test; test; 48 h post-test), which were repeated equally on two different occasions, with the administration of diclofenac (75 mg in saline solution 0...

PURPOSE: Clinical control of corticotroph tumors is difficult to achieve since they usually persist or relapse after surgery. Pasireotide is approved to treat patients with Cushing's disease for whom surgical therapy is not an option. However, Pasireotide seems to be effective only in a sub-set of patients, highlighting the importance to find a response marker to this approach. Recent studies demonstrated that the delta isoform of protein kinase C (PRKCD) controls viability and cell cycle progression of an in vitro model of ACTH-secreting pituitary tumor, the AtT-20/D16v-F2 cells...

PURPOSE: Musculoskeletal disorders are among the most disabling comorbidities in patients with acromegaly. This study examined muscle and bone quality in patients with acromegaly. METHODS: Thirty-three patients with acromegaly and nineteen age- and body mass index-matched healthy controls were included in the study. Body composition was determined using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. The participants underwent abdominal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for cross-sectional evaluation of muscle area and vertebral MRI proton density fat fraction (MRI-PDFF)...

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to produce evidence on quality of life (QoL) among Italian growth hormone deficiency (GHD) children and adolescents treated with growth hormone (GH) and their parents. METHODS: A survey was conducted among Italian children and adolescents aged 4-18 with a confirmed diagnosis of GHD and treated with GH therapy and their parents. The European Quality of Life 5 Dimensions 3 Level Version (EQ-5D-3L) and the Quality of Life in Short Stature Youth (QoLISSY) questionnaires were administered between May and October 2021 through the Computer-Assisted Personal Interview (CAPI) method...

PURPOSE: Testing 1-h glucose (1HG) concentration during oral glucose tolerance test is cost-effective to identify individuals at risk of incident type 2 diabetes. Aim of the study was to define 1HG cutoffs diagnostic of incident impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) in youths with obesity, and to evaluate prevalence and association of cutoffs identified in the cohort and from the literature (133 and 155 mg/dl) to cardiovascular disease (CVD) in a population of youths with obesity. METHODS: This is a longitudinal study of 154 youths to identify 1HG cutoffs, and cross-sectional study of 2295 youths to estimate prevalence of high 1HG and association to CVD...

PURPOSE: Data on the role of prolactin (PRL) in the physiologic range in the female sexual response are scanty. We aimed at investigating the association between PRL and sexual function as assessed by the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI). We explored the presence of a cut-off level of PRL able to identify Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder (HSDD). METHODS: 277 pre- and post-menopausal women consulting for Female Sexual Dysfunction (FSD) and sexually active were enrolled in an observational, retrospective study...

PURPOSE: ACTH-secreting pheochromocytoma is a rare cause of ectopic Cushing's syndrome, posing a clinical challenge for the severity of its clinical presentation, the difficulty in the prevention and the management of surgical complications. Sparse data are currently available about the optimal preoperative management of the severe symptoms due to both hypercortisolism and catecholamine excess, especially regarding the role and timing of medical therapies. METHODS: We present a series of three patients with ACTH-secreting pheochromocytoma...

PURPOSE: Hyperglycemia and glycemic variability (GV) are associated with oxidative stress in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). Oxysterol species, produced by the non-enzymatic oxidation of cholesterol, are potential biomarkers of oxidative stress. This study examined the relationship between auto-oxidized oxysterols and GV in patients with type 1 DM. METHODS: Thirty patients with type 1 DM using a continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion pump therapy and a healthy control group (n = 30) were included in this prospective study...

PURPOSE: The screening and diagnosis of osteoporosis in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) based on bone mineral density remains challenging because of the limited availability and accessibility of dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. We aimed to develop and validate models to predict the risk of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women with T2DM based on machine learning (ML) algorithms. METHODS: This retrospective study included 303 postmenopausal women with T2DM...

PURPOSE: Mutations in the aryl hydrocarbon receptor interacting protein (AIP) gene cause familial isolated pituitary adenomas (FIPA). AIP mutations have also been found in patients with apparently sporadic pituitary adenomas, particularly in young patients with large adenomas. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of AIP germline mutations in patients with young-onset sporadic pituitary macroadenomas. METHODS: The AIP gene was sequenced in 218 Portuguese patients with sporadic pituitary macroadenomas diagnosed before the age of 40 years...

PURPOSE: The incidence of acute myocardial infarctions (AMI) shows circadian variation typically peaking during morning hours with a decline at night. However, this variation does not occur in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). The night's decline of AMI may be partially explained by melatonin-related platelet inhibition. Whether this effect is absent in diabetic patients is unknown. The aim was to study the effect of melatonin on in-vitro platelet aggregation in healthy individuals and patients with type 2 DM...

PURPOSE: Thyroid cell lines are useful tools to study the physiology and pathology of the thyroid, however, they do not produce or secrete hormones in vitro. On the other hand, the detection of endogenous thyroid hormones in primary thyrocytes was often hindered by the dedifferentiation of thyrocytes ex vivo and the presence of large amounts of exogenous hormones in the culture medium. This study aimed to create a culture system that could maintain the function of thyrocytes to produce and secrete thyroid hormones in vitro...
