Apoplexy of Pituitary Macroadenoma after Combined Test of Anterior Pituitary Function
2000
Endocrine journal
Preserved Fulltext
Pituitary apoplexy has been reported as a very rare complication of combined tests of anterior pituitary function and of TRH or gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) administration in pituitary tumor. A 34-year-old man with a GH-secreting pituitary macroadenoma and diabetes mellitus received an injection of 400 ,ug TRH, 100 ug GnRH, and 0.15 U/Kg regular insulin. Twenty minutes later, he complained of a severe headache and vomited. Visual acuity and visual field did not change and his headache

... as persistent during the next 24 hours of conservative management. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the sella turcica done the day after the event showed definitive elevation of the optic chiasm and slight enlargement of tumor and focal areas of mixed high signal and low signal intensities in the macroadenoma on noncontrast Ti-weighted images. Headache subsided markedly within a day of octreotide therapy. Transsphenoidal removal of the pituitary tumor was performed 9 days after the hormone study. Ischemic necrosis and hemorrhage were confirmed in the acidophilic adenoma with positive immunostaining for GH. Postoperative course was uneventful and his serum insulin-like growth factor-1(IGF-1) level and blood glucose levels were normalized. Three months after the surgery the dynamic test was repeated without adverse effects. To our knowledge, this is a very rare case of apoplexy of GH-secreting pituitary adenoma after a combined stimulation test of anterior pituitary function.

We review recent developments in heavy-quarkonium phenomenology within the nonrelativistic QCD factorization approach. Main issues we consider in this work include the polarization of prompt J/psi at the Fermilab Tevatron and the large relativistic and QCD corrections to double-charmonium production at the B factories. We also consider inclusive charm production in bottomonia decays.

Mycobacterium massiliense is an emerging pathogen that is increasingly reported as a causative agent occurring during medical procedures, at surgical sites, and intramuscularly [1] . Although previously classified as part of M. abscessus, M. massiliense has recently been identified as a new species of rapidly growing nontuberculous mycobacteria [1,3] via a comparative sequence analysis of rpoB and hsp65 [3, 5] . However, the clinical manifestations of M. massiliense have not been well

The patient showed a substantial response to treatment with a combination of antimicrobial therapies comprising clarithromycin and amikacin without cefoxitin for 6 months. This is the first report of pulmonary infection of M. massiliense with Sjogren's syndrome in Korea.

... spital by successfully launching a new HIS named BESTCare, "Bundang hospital Electronic System for Total Care". Subsequently, the system has been continuously improved with new applications, including close-loop medication administration (CLMA), clinical data warehouse (CDW), health information exchange (HIE), and disaster recovery (DR), which have resulted in the achievement of Stage 7 status. Results: The BESTCare system is an integrated system for a university hospital setting. BESTCare is mainly composed of three application domains: the core applications, an information infrastructure, and channel domains. The most critical and unique applications of the system, such as the electronic medical record (EMR), computerized physician order entry (CPOE), clinical decision support system (CDSS), CLMA, CDW, HIE, and DR applications, are described in detail. Conclusions: Beyond our achievement of Stage 7 hospital status, we are currently developing a next-generation HIS with new goals of implementing infrastructure that is flexible and innovative, implementing a patient-centered system, and strengthening the IT capability to maximize the hospital value.

Mealworm and mealworm oil (MWO) have been reported to affect antioxidant, anti-coagulation, anti-adipogenic and anti-inflammatory activities. However, the function of MWO in wound healing is still unclear. In this study, we found that MWO induced the migration of fibroblast cells and mRNA expressions of wound healing factors such as alpha-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), collagen-1 (COL-1) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in fibroblast cells. The tube formation and migration of

... ial cells were promoted through the activation of VEGF/VEGF receptor-2 (VEGFR-2)-mediated downstream signals including AKT, extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and p38 by MWO-stimulated fibroblasts for angiogenesis. Moreover, we confirmed that MWO promoted skin wound repair by collagen synthesis, re-epithelialization and angiogenesis in an in vivo excisional wound model. These results demonstrate that MWO might have potential as a therapeutic agent for the treatment of skin wounds.

The p53 tumour suppressor has a key role in the control of cell growth and differentiation, and in the maintenance of genome integrity 1,2 . p53 is kept labile under normal conditions, but in response to stresses, such as DNA damage, it accumulates in the nucleus for induction of cell-cycle arrest, DNA repair or apoptosis. Mdm2 is an ubiquitin ligase that promotes p53 ubiquitination and degradation 3-5 . Mdm2 is also selfubiquitinated and degraded. Here, we identified a novel cascade for the

... rease in p53 level in response to DNA damage. A new SUMO-specific protease, SUSP4, removed SUMO-1 from Mdm2 and this desumoylation led to promotion of Mdm2 self-ubiquitination, resulting in p53 stabilization. Moreover, SUSP4 competed with p53 for binding to Mdm2, also resulting in p53 stabilization. Overexpression of SUSP4 inhibited cell growth, whereas knockdown of susp4 by RNA interference (RNAi) promoted of cell growth. UV damage induced SUSP4 expression, leading to an increase in p53 levels in parallel with a decrease in Mdm2 levels. These findings establish a new mechanism for the elevation of cellular p53 levels in response to UV damage.

Islet transplantation is an established therapy for selected type 1 diabetes (T1D) patients with severe hypoglycemic unawareness and glycemic liability despite of insulin treatment. However, the donor organ is limited. Porcine islets are the best alternative source to overcome this limitation, and pig-to-nonhuman primate (NHP) naked islet xenotransplantation studies are being performed worldwide. Several studies including our own have presented successful proof-of-concept results based on

... suppression regimen including the anti-CD154 monoclonal antibody. Particularly, long-term control of diabetes by adult porcine islet transplantation has been demonstrated in five consecutive monkeys, and the longest survival was ~1000 days after transplantation. Currently, pig-to-NHP islet xenotransplantation based on clinically applicable immunosuppression regimen is being pursued. In this chapter, we will describe all the procedures of pigto-NHP naked islet xenotransplantation: (1) the porcine islet isolation from designated pathogen-free (DPF) miniature pigs, (2) diabetes induction in monkeys, (3) transplantation procedure via the portal vein, (4) immune monitoring comprising humoral and cellular immunity after porcine islet transplantation, and finally (5) liver biopsy and subsequent immunohistochemical procedure in detail.

The aim of current study was to evaluate the incidence and characteristics of ocular sarcoidosis in a Korean population. We conducted a retrospective study of 104 consecutive patients with biopsy-proven sarcoidosis seen at Asan Medical Center in Seoul, Korea, from 1993 to 2007. Medical records, photographs, and fluorescein angiograms were reviewed. Of 104 patients, 22 (21%) had intraocular involvement with female predominance (86%, M:F=3:19). Of the 39 eyes with ocular involvement, 16 (41%)

... had isolated anterior uveitis, 12 (31%) eyes had intermediate uveitis, 6 eyes (15%) had panuveitis with retinal vasculitis, and 5 (13%) eyes had panuveitis with punched multifocal choroiditis. Mean duration of ophthalmologic follow-up was 62 months. All ocular inflammation was well managed with topical steroid and/or systemic steroid with relatively good final visual outcomes. Ocular complications such as cataract (12 eyes, 30%), glaucoma (6 eyes, 15%), vitreous opacity (1 eye, 3%), cystoid macular edema (3 eyes, 7%), neovascularization (2 eye, 5%), and epiretinal membrane (4 eye, 10%) were related to ocular sarcoidosis. In Korea, where sarcoidosis is very rare, our study indicates relatively low ocular and predominantly non posterior segment involvement with relatively good visual prognosis.
