Preoperative Fasting C-Peptide Acts as a Promising Predictor of Improved Glucose Tolerance in Patients With Acromegaly After Transsphenoidal Surgery: A Retrospective Study of 64 Cases From a Large Pituitary Center in China

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2019
Purpose: Abnormal glucose metabolism is one of the most frequent acromegaly complications. Improvement of glucose metabolism can be observed only in half of acromegaly patients after surgery.

Case Report: A Case of Pituitary Adenoma Producing Growth Hormone and Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone Simultaneously

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2021
BackgroundPituitary adenoma producing growth hormone (GH) or thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) is characterized by various specific symptoms and/or findings. However, the frequency of pituitary adenoma producing both hormones is relatively low.

Reversibility of Cardiac Involvement in Acromegaly Patients After Surgery: 12-Month Follow-up Using Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2020
PurposeCardiac comorbidity is one of the leading causes of death among acromegaly patients. We aimed to investigate the reversibility of acromegalic cardiac involvement after surgical treatment using the gold standard method, cardiovascular magnetic ...

The Epigenomics of Pituitary Adenoma

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2019
Background: The vast majority of pituitary tumors are benign and behave accordingly; however, a fraction are invasive and are more aggressive, with a very small fraction being frankly malignant.

3D Facial Analysis in Acromegaly: Gender-Specific Features and Clinical Correlations

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2018
Objective: Quantitative investigations of facial changes in acromegaly are rare. A new imaging technique, three-dimensional (3D) stereophotography, can accurately quantify whole facial changes.

Patient-Identified Problems and Influences Associated With Diagnostic Delay of Acromegaly: A Nationwide Cross-Sectional Study

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2021
BackgroundInsidious-onset acromegaly may easily be overlooked by non-specialists of acromegaly and cause diagnostic delay. This study aims to examine the association between diagnostic delay and advice from doctors before any confirmed diagnosis and ...

Identification and gene expression profiling of human gonadotrophic pituitary adenoma stem cells

open access: yesActa Neuropathologica Communications, 2023
Background Gonadotrophic pituitary adenoma is a major subtype of pituitary adenoma in the sellar region, but it is rarely involved in the hypersecretion of hormones into blood; thus, it is commonly regarded as “non-functioning.” Its tumorigenic ...

Case report: Clinical report of co-occurrence of pituitary adenoma and meningioma in the sellar region after meningioma treatment

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology, 2022
The coexistence of meningioma and pituitary adenoma is very rare, especially in the same location after meningioma surgery. Here, we reported a case of coexisting meningioma and pituitary adenoma secondary to postoperative meningioma in the sellar region
