Prepubertal Children

La fixation thyroïdienne du 131I a été mesurée en 50 enfants non-goitreux agés de 2 à 12 ans (17 masculins, 33 féminins). Les valeurs de fixation des enfants grèques (l’erreur standard ± pour les deux sexes était 38,8 ± 1,81; 59,1 ± 2,17; 60,2 ± 2,16 à 3, 24 et 48 heures) sont les plus élevées rapportées jusqu’à maintenant das la litérature donnant preuve à la pénurie de l’iode dans notre pays. Une autre manifestation de la pénurie de l’iode était l’observation, que dans 41% des enfants prépubertaires les valeurs PB 131I à 48 heures étaient plus élevées que la limite supérieure normale de 0,4% par litre.Les enfants féminines montraient des valeurs de fixation significativement (P < 0,05) plus élevées que les masculins avec un taux de différence des valeurs moyennes de 1,34; 1,19; et 1,15 à 3, 24 et 48 heures.

Suppression Test

SummaryA total of 132 triiodothyronine suppression tests were performed using 100 μg of T3 for 7 days. Radioiodine uptake at four hours, serum thyroxine [T4(D)], T3 binding coefficient [RT3U ratio] and free thyroxine index [T4-RT3 index] were estimated before and after a course of triiodothyronine.T4(D) decreased significantly in only 38.4% of T3 suppression tests assessed as positive by the decrease in radioiodine uptake; it did not change or increased significantly in 84.7% of tests negative by radioiodine uptake.RT3U ratio showed little change in all groups. The changes in T4-RT3 index were similar to those of T4(D).The correlation of changes in T4(D) with 4 hour radioiodine uptake is poor (r = 0.34).Agreement between changes in radioiodine uptake and T4(D) was observed only in 54% of tests; between changes in uptake and T4-RT3 index in 69.4%.Estimation of serum thyroxine or free thyroxine index in the T3 suppression test cannot substitute for the radioiodine uptake for reasons which are discussed.

In Bangladesh some researchers have done several studies to find the correlation of simple diffuse goiter with arsenic level but no one conducted any study to find the differences of urinary iodine, urinary arsenic, radioiodine uptake, the thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) and free thyroxin (FT4) levels between goitrous and non goitrous. That is why, in this research an attempt has been made to compare the urinary iodine, urinary arsenic, radioiodine uptake, TSH and FT4 levels between experimental group with simple diffuse goiter and healthy control group. In this study another purpose has also been made to find the associations between different pairs of variables for both experimental and control group. In this study we have tried to find the impacts of arsenic level on simple diffuse goiter. This is a case-control analytical study. The study is carried out in the Institute of Nuclear Medicine and Ultrasound, in collaboration with the thyroid out patient department of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University. A total of eighty five (85) subjects are included in the study. Among the 85 subjects, a sample of forty five is considered for experimental group with simple diffuse goiter and another sample of forty is considered for healthy control group without any thyroid disease. From the experimental results it has been found that, the arsenic levels, FT4 and radioiodine uptake levels at 2 hours between the experimental and control groups are significantly different but the urinary iodine levels, TSH levels and radioiodine uptake levels at 24 hours between the experimental and control groups are not statistically different. From the experimental results it has also been found that there is significant differentiation between experimental and controls groups in respect of association between different pairs of variables. In this study, another significant finding is that iodine deficiency is not only the factor of causing simple diffuse goiter, but arsenic level is also one of the most important factor of causing simple diffuse goiter.

And Function

Pituitary tumor-transforming gene (PTTG)-binding factor (PBF; PTTG1IP) was initially identified through its interaction with the human securin, PTTG. Like PTTG, PBF is upregulated in multiple endocrine tumours including thyroid cancer. PBF is believed to induce the translocation of PTTG into the cell nucleus where it can drive tumourigenesis via a number of different mechanisms. However, an independent transforming ability has been demonstrated both in vitro and in vivo, suggesting that PBF is itself a proto-oncogene. Studied in only a limited number of publications to date, PBF is emerging as a protein with a growing repertoire of roles. Recent data suggest that PBF possesses a complex multifunctionality in an increasing number of tumour settings. For example, PBF is upregulated by oestrogen and mediates oestrogen-stimulated cell invasion in breast cancer cells. In addition to a possible role in the induction of thyroid tumourigenesis, PBF overexpression in thyroid cancers inhibits iodide uptake. PBF has been shown to repress sodium iodide symporter (NIS) activity by transcriptional regulation of NIS expression through the human NIS upstream enhancer and further inhibits iodide uptake via a post-translational mechanism of NIS governing subcellular localisation. This review discusses the current data describing PBF expression and function in thyroid cancer and highlights PBF as a novel target for improving radioiodine uptake and thus prognosis in thyroid cancer.
