Unilateral Surgery for Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma: Seeking for Clinical Practice Guidelines

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2022
Optimized preoperative diagnostic tools with calcitonin tests, ultrasound features, functional imaging modalities, and genetic testing to detect hereditary forms have led to an increased rate of earlier diagnosis and surgery for medullary thyroid cancer (

The Adipose‐Sympathetic Nerve Crosstalk: FSTL1 as an Adipocyte‐Derived Neurotrophic Factor for WAT Browning

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
As a novel adipose‐derived neurotrophic factor, Follistatin‐like 1 is endocytosed by sympathetic neurons primarily via tropomyosin‐related kinase B. This process promotes sympathetic innervation in adipose tissue and norepinephrine release, leading to white adipose tissue browning, enhanced thermogenesis, and anti‐obesity effects in mice.

The osteoporosis after ovariectomy and the differences of rat’s thyroid parafollicular cells at the time of the treatments

Cerrahpaşa Medical Journal, 2014
Objectives: We performed this study on rats which applied ovariectomy for explanning the numeric, morphologic and biochemical differences on parafollicular cells and effect of estrogen, estrogen+progesterone and calcitonin on osteoporosis.

Sequential Regulation of Neurovascular Bone Regeneration in Large Bone Defects Using Black Phosphorus‐Europium Nanosheet Integrated TPMS Biomimetic Scaffold with Photo‐Controlled Ion Release

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
TPBE scaffolds, in conjunction with mild photothermal effects, effectively activate the PI3K/Akt signaling cascade, thereby promoting early neuronal differentiation and neurite growth. Short‐term (12 W) in vivo implantation studies revealed no significant pathological damage to major organs, providing preliminary evidence of the material's excellent ...

Determinants of circulating calcitonin value: analysis of thyroid features, demographic data, anthropometric characteristics, comorbidities, medications, and smoking habits in a population with histological full exclusion of medullary thyroid carcinoma

Frontiers in Oncology
ObjectiveCalcitonin (Ctn) measurement is crucial for the early diagnosis of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC). However, Ctn levels can be skewed/elevated due to other reasons, and the Ctn upper reference value remains controversial.

Calcitonin and Bone Physiology: In Vitro, In Vivo, and Clinical Investigations

International Journal of Endocrinology, 2020
Calcitonin was discovered as a peptide hormone that was known to reduce the calcium levels in the systemic circulation. This hypocalcemic effect is produced due to multiple reasons such as inhibition of bone resorption or suppression of calcium release ...

Calcitonin and calcitonin receptors: bone and beyond

International Journal of Experimental Pathology, 2000
Calcitonin (CT), a 32 amino acid peptide hormone produced primarily by the thyroid, and its receptor (CTR) are well known for their ability to regulate osteoclast mediated bone resorption and enhance Ca2+ excretion by the kidney. However, recent studies now suggest that CT and CTRs may play an important role in a variety of processes as wide ranging as

Radioimmunoassay for calcitonin.

Clinical Chemistry, 1982
Calcitonin (CT) is one of the most recently discovered calcium-regulating hormones; the first brief allusion to its existence appeared in 1961.1 The first assays for CT were based on its hypocalcemic property upon injection into rats.2,3 Radioimmunoassays for animal calcitonins soon followed, but the availability of sensitive radioimmunoassays for ...

Local variation in age‐related cortical expansion within and between cross‐sections of distal human long bones

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Cortical bone expansion is an age‐related process where, through endosteal resorption and periosteal apposition, cross‐sectional diameter increases while cortical thickness decreases in long bone diaphyses. Local variation has been observed in this process between cross‐sectional locations, but few studies have examined directional variation ...

Both Radiofrequency Microtenotomy and Physical Therapy Provide Significant Improvements in Patients With Chronic Midportion Achilles Tendinopathy at a Minimum 5‐Year Follow‐Up

Arthroscopy, Sports Medicine, and Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
Purpose To evaluate a minimum 5‐year follow‐up of patients who were treated with either bipolar radiofrequency microtenotomy (RFM) or physical therapy (PT) for midportion Achilles tendinopathy between 2016 and 2018. Methods All subjects who participated in a previous randomized controlled trial (n = 38) between 2016 and 2018 were invited to fill out a ...
