Öğe Co-occurrence of Papillary and Follicular Thyroid Carcinoma in a Patient with Hodgkin's Disease(Galenos Yayincilik, 2013) Asik, Mehmet; Ozkul, Faruk; Toman, Huseyin; Durmus, Ahmet; Anaforoglu, Inan; Gunes, Fahri; Akbal, Erdem[Anstract Not Available]Öğe Evaluation of epicardial fat tissue thickness in patients with Hashimoto thyroiditis(Wiley-Blackwell, 2013) Asik, Mehmet; Sahin, Sinan; Ozkul, Faruk; Anaforoglu, Inan; Ayhan, Semiha; Karagol, Sukriye; Gunes, FahriObjective Hypothyroidism, whether overt or subclinical, has multiple effects on the cardiovascular system. Epicardial fat tissue (EFT) is closely related to cardiovascular disorders and atherosclerosis. Our study aimed to assess EFT thickness and carotid artery intima-media thickness (CIMT) in patients with Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) displaying overt and subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH). Design and patients The study included 33 patients with SCH and 24 patients with overt hypothyroidism (OH) with HT as well as 32 healthy controls. EFT thickness, CIMT, thyroid hormone levels and lipid parameters were measured in all subjects. Correlation analysis and linear regression analysis were performed for EFT thickness. Results Mean EFT thickness was 2.89 +/- 0.38, 3.53 +/- 0.92 and 4.56 +/- 1.61mm in control, SCH and OH groups, respectively (P < 0.001). EFT thickness of OH patients was high compared with SCH and control subjects (P < 0.01 and < 0.001, respectively). CIMT of OH patients was high compared with SCH and control subjects (P < 0.01 and < 0.001, respectively). In addition, EFT was significantly thicker in SCH patients than in controls (P < 0.05). Correlation analysis showed that EFT thickness was significantly positively correlated with CIMT, age, body mass index, systolic blood pressure, thyroid-stimulating hormone, total and LDL cholesterol and triglyceride and negatively correlated with free T4. In the regression analysis, EFT thickness retained its independent and positive association with CIMT, patient group (particularly OH) and systolic blood pressure. Conclusions Epicardial fat tissue thickness may be a useful indicator of early atherosclerosis in SCH and OH patients with HT.Öğe Landscape of congenital adrenal hyperplasia cases in adult endocrinology clinics of Türkiye-a nation-wide multicentre study(Springer, 2024) Ertorer, Melek Eda; Anaforoglu, Inan; Yilmaz, Nusret; Akkus, Gamze; Turgut, Seda; Unluhizarci, Kursad; Selcukbiricik, Ozlem SoylukBackground and aimsCongenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is a group of disorders that affect the production of steroids in the adrenal gland and are inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern. The clinical and biochemical manifestations of the disorder are diverse, ranging from varying degrees of anomalies of the external genitalia to life-threatening adrenal insufficiency. This multicenter study aimed to determine the demographics, biochemical, clinical, and genetic characteristics besides the current status of adult patients with CAH nationwide.MethodsThe medical records of 223 patients with all forms of CAH were evaluated in the study, which included 19 adult endocrinology clinics. A form inquiring about demographical, etiological, and genetic (where available) data of all forms of CAH patients was filled out and returned by the centers.ResultsAmong 223 cases 181 (81.16%) patients had 21-hydroxylase deficiency (21OHD), 27 (12.10%) had 11-beta-hydroxylase deficiency (110HD), 13 (5.82%) had 17-hydroxylase deficiency (17OHD) and 2 (0.89%) had 3-beta-hydroxysteroid-dehydrogenase deficiency. 21OHD was the most prevalent CAH form in our national series. There were 102 (56.4%) classical and 79 (43.6%) non-classical 210HD cases in our cohort. The age of the patients was 24.9 +/- 6.1 (minimum-maximum: 17-44) for classical CAH patients and 30.2 +/- 11.2 (minimum-maximum: 17-67). More patients in the nonclassical CAH group were married and had children. Reconstructive genital surgery was performed in 54 (78.3%) of classical CAH females and 42 (77.8%) of them had no children. Thirty-two (50.8%) NCAH cases had homogenous and 31 (49.2%) had heterogeneous CYP21A2 gene mutations. V281L pathological variation was the most prevalent mutation, it was detected in 35 (55.6%) of 21OHD NCAH patients.ConclusionOur findings are compatible with the current literature except for the higher frequency of 110HD and 17OHD, which may be attributed to unidentified genetic causes. A new classification for CAH cases rather than classical and non-classical may be helpful as the disease exhibits a large clinical and biochemical continuum. Affected cases should be informed of the possible complications they may face. The study concludes that a better understanding of the clinical characteristics of patients with CAH can improve the management of the disorder in daily practice.Öğe The Antibody Response to Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress in Hashimoto's Thyroiditis(Galenos Yayincilik, 2013) Asik, Mehmet; Sahin, Mustafa; Anaforoglu, Inan; Arikan, Serap; Haydardedeoglu, Filiz Eksi; Ertugrul, Taner Derun; Tutuncu, Neslihan BascilPurpose: We aimed to investigate the presence of antibodies (Anti-BIP) against binding immunoglobulin protein (BIP), an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) chaperone with immune modulator and anti-apoptotic effects in Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) patients. Material and Method: We included sixty-two autoimmune thyroiditis patients, 20 with euthyroid autoimmune thyroiditis, 27 with subclinical hypothyroidism and 15 with hypothyroid, and a control group of 37 healthy subjects. Results: No statistically significant difference was determined in anti-BIP levels among the HT subgroups or in comparison with the control group (p= 0.889). Discussion: Although BIP activation has been shown in vitro in thyroid cells, no difference was determined in our study in anti-BIP levels between the HT patient subgroups and the control group. This suggests that antibodies developing against BIP through apoptosis and/or T cell response are either not related to HT or at levels that cannot be determined by measuring serum.
