[Thyrotropin-secreting pituitary adenomas--diagnosis and treatment in five case]

[Article in Hungarian]

The authors report five cases of thyrotropin secreting pituitary adenomas (4 males and 1 female) in whom the diagnosis was established by a combined occurrence of elevated serum free thyroid hormone levels and measurable serum thyrotropin concentration, as well as by visualisation of the pituitary adenomas using magnetic resonance imaging (pituitary microadenoma in two and macroadenoma in three cases). Other tests were less diagnostic: only two out of 4 patients proved to be non-responders during testing with thyrotropin releasing hormone, and serum alpha subunit was elevated in only 2 out of 3 cases. There was a significant decrease of serum thyrotropin concentration in all of the four patients tested by 100 micrograms octreotide (Sandostatin, Novartis). Somatostatin-analogue treatment (slow release preparation in two cases) restored euthyroidism in all three cases treated prior to surgery. In one case the hyperthyroidism persisted after surgery of the macroadenoma, but irradiation of the pituitary area and subsequent somatostatin-analogue treatment resulted finally in a complete cure (euthyroidism and no tumor remnant). In the three other operated patients surgery resulted in euthyroidism. These cases demonstrate the variety of diagnostic and therapeutical modalities in the management of thyrotropin secreting pituitary adenomas.

[Octreotide therapy in multiple endocrine neoplasia type-1]

[Article in Hungarian]

Valkusz Z, Gaspar L, Julesz J, Pavics L.

Szegedi Tudomanyegyetem, Altalanos Orvostudomanyi Kar, Endokrinologiai Onallo Osztaly.

In multiplex endocrine neoplasia type 1, hyperparathyroidism, pancreas tumor and pituitary tumor are generally combined. The authors report two patients with this syndrome, in whom overproduction of parathormone and gastrin was detected, and parathyroid adenomas were detected by parathyroid scintigraphy. Pancreatic adenomas were discovered with somatostatin receptor scintigraphy or magnetic resonance imaging. Hyperprolactinaemia without pituitary tumor in the first case, and prolactinoma in the second case, as well as nonfunctioning adrenal adenomas in both cases were also observed. After several unsuccessful surgical interventions a long-term octreotide (Sandostatin, Novartis) treatment was started; in the first patient subcutaneous injection was given for 6 months, then the treatment was continued with the long-acting intramuscular preparation (Sandostatin LAR, Novartis). The second patient received long-acting octreotide from the beginning of medical therapy. The authors intended to obtain data about the effects of this therapy on all overproduced hormones. In the first case, a 6-months treatment with subcutaneous octreotide surprisingly resulted not only in a decrease of serum gastrin, but also in that of parathormone level. In the second case, serum gastrin was normalized, but parathormone did not change. The levels of prolactin and adrenocortical hormones were not affected. At present, the two patients are without any symptoms of their disease.

Resection of liver metastases from a virilizing steroid (lipoid) cell ovarian tumor.

Garduno-Lopez AL, Mondragon-Sanchez R, Herrera-Goepfert R, Bernal-Maldonado R.

Department of Gastroenterology, Instituto Nacional de Cancerologia, Mexico City, Mexico.

The authors report the case of a 34-year-old woman who presented liver metastases from a virilizing lipoid cell ovarian tumor. The patient complained of right upper quadrant abdominal pain, strong virilization and secondary amenorrhea. She developed hirsutism and irregular menses at the age of 23, and a salpingo-ooforectomy for a right ovarian lipoid cell tumor was performed. She was asymptomatic but 6 months before admission she presented abdominal pain. The computed tomography scan showed a large right-side hypodense liver lesion. Tumor and viral markers were normal. Serum testosterone was 7 ng/mL and the dehydroepiandrosterone was 2.5 ng/mL. A right trisegmentectomy was performed. Her recovery was uneventful, hormone levels returned to normal, and she has been asymptomatic after a follow-up of 6 months.

Technical considerations of transsphenoidal removal of fibrous pituitary adenomas and evaluation of collagen content and subtype in the adenomas.

Naganuma H, Satoh E, Nukui H.

Department of Neurosurgery, Yamanashi Medical University, Yamanashi. naganumes.yamanashi-med.ac.jp

Pituitary adenomas are usually soft, but 5-13.5% are fibrous adenomas which are difficult to remove. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and operative findings were evaluated in eight patients (12.1%) with fibrous pituitary adenoma among 66 patients. Tumor specimens were examined histologically and immunohistochemically for collagen content and subtypes. Seven patients had clinically inactive non-functioning pituitary adenomas and one patient growth hormone-secreting adenoma. All patients underwent transsphenoidal surgery. Four cases were giant adenomas with suprasellar extension of more than 2 cm. T1- and T2-weighted MR imaging showed the tumors as nearly isointense to the surrounding brain, except in one case where the tumor was high intense on T2-weighted MR imaging. All tumors required piecemeal resection using a micro-dissector and tumor forceps. Four tumors of maximum size more than 3 cm needed a second operation. The interface between the thinned normal pituitary gland and fibrous adenoma was intended to identify at the anterior-superior portion in recent four cases, which was helpful to remove the tumors and preserve pituitary functions. Histological examination revealed prominent deposition of collagen in the perivascular area. The percentage of collagen content in fibrous adenomas was more than 5% and significantly higher than that in soft adenomas and normal pituitary glands. Immunohistochemical examination showed positive staining for collagen types I and III in the fibrous adenomas, but only for type V collagen in the normal pituitary glands. Large fibrous adenomas can be resected by transsphenoidal surgery which may require two-stage operations. Identification of the interface between the normal pituitary gland and adenoma is helpful to remove fibrous adenomas and to preserve pituitary functions. We propose that firm adenomas containing more than 5% collagen are "fibrous" adenomas.

[Hypoglycemia associated with pleural fibromas. Study of insulin-like growth factors (IGF) and pathogenic considerations]

[Article in French]

PURPOSE: Pathogeny of hypoglycemia associated with non-islet-cell tumors is unclear. We discuss the mechanisms of this syndrome. CURRENT KNOWLEDGE AND KEY POINTS: We report three cases of spontaneous hypoglycemia revealing pleural fibroma. Endocrine tests before surgery showed low serum growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I), reduced serum IGF-II levels in two patient. Insulin-like growth factor binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) was low and electrophoretic profile of IGF-II was the 'big IGF-II' type. We discuss the mechanisms of hypoglycemia associated with non-islet-cell tumor. Impaired formation of the ternary complexes and its consequences seem the main pathogenic factor. FUTURE PROSPECTS AND PROJECTS: Analysis of IGF and IGFBP and in situ measurements of IGF mRNA could help in understanding this syndrome and allow therapeutic considerations in the management of hypoglycemia by corticosteroids and growth hormone.

Due to the complexity , the biological process of hair growth is still a work in progress. Nonetheless, several therapeutic methods including prescription medications, transplant surgery, nutritional suppelements, and even snake oils have been in use to help those who attempt to restore their hair. None of these approaches are perfect due to the heterogeneity in the causes that underlie hair loss. Unfortunately, most of these chemical drugs and hair transplantation operations are accompanied by undesirable side effects.

Hair Million of Dream Pharm provides an alternative approach to hair loss problems. Numerous anecdotal cases have demonstrated that this herbal formula based on the authentic Chinese herbs from Chinese Pharmacopoeia actually improves the age-related hair thinning and hair loss among a significant fraction of people who take it as suggested. We still do not understand the mechanisms of action as to how Hair Million works to stop hair loss and promote hair growth, despite all the positive anecdotal demonstration. Neither scientific research nor placebo controlled clinical analysis has been conducted due to the high cost of such trials. Lack of scientific/clinical research is quite common in herbal arena. Just because science hasn't scrutinized doesn't mean we should stop taking daily food and herbal supplements altogether: our life must go on until we have better understandings of food and herb that we have been taking generation after generation. There are two merits in this hair restoration herbal formula: Firstly, Hair Million is relatively inexpensive compared with other methods, and secondly, it is made of edible herbs that are known to be safe when consumed in regular quantities.
