Background

Iodine is an intrinsic element of thyroid hormone, which is essential for childhood growth and development. The Ideal Breast Milk (IBM) cohort study aims to evaluate the effects of maternal iodine status during pregnancy and lactation on maternal thyroid function, offspring growth and development, and offspring thyroid function.

Methods

The IBM cohort study recruited pregnant women from Seoul National University Hospital between June 2016 and August 2017, followed by enrollment of their offspring after delivery. For the maternal participants, iodine status is evaluated by urinary iodine concentration (UIC) and dietary records in the third trimester and at 3 to 4 weeks and 12 to 15 months postpartum. For the child participants, cord blood sampling and UIC measurements are performed at birth. At 3 to 4 weeks of age, UIC and breastmilk iodine concentrations are measured. At 12 to 15 months of age, growth and development are assessed and measurements of UIC, a thyroid function test, and ultrasonography are performed.

Results

A total of 198 pregnant women in their third trimester were recruited. Their mean age was 35.1±3.5 years, and 78 (39.4%) of them were pregnant with twins. Thirty-three (16.7%) of them had a previous history of thyroid disease.

Conclusion

Korea is an iodine-replete area. In particular, lactating women in Korea are commonly exposed to excess iodine due to the traditional practice of consuming brown seaweed soup postpartum. The study of the IBM cohort is expected to contribute to developing guidelines for optimal iodine nutrition in pregnant or lactating women.

Abstract PDF PubReader

Iodide uptake across the membranes of thyroid follicular cells and cancer cells occurs through an active transport process mediated by the sodium-iodide symporter (NIS). The rat and human NIS-coding genes were cloned and identified in 1996. Evaluation of NIS gene and protein expression is critical for the management of thyroid cancer, and several approaches to increase NIS levels have been tried. Identification of the NIS gene has provided a means of expanding its role in radionuclide therapy and molecular target-specific theragnosis (therapy and diagnosis using the same molecular target). In this article, we describe the relationship between NIS expression and the thyroid carcinoma treatment using I-131 and alternative therapeutic approaches.

Abstract PDF: BACKGROUND
It is uncommon to unexpectedly discover pituitary tumor as a hypermetabolic lesion on an 18F-FDG PET-CT scan for the evaluation of an unrelated disease when the patient does not show neurological or endocrine signs and symptoms. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed the medical records of 16 patients with pituitary tumor that was detected incidentally on 18FFDG PET-CT at the Korea Cancer Center Hospital from January 2002 to September 2009. We analyzed their clinical features in detail. RESULTS: On 35,505 18F-FDG PET-CT scans, 16 (0.045%) patients were diagnosed with pituitary incidentaloma. They underwent 18FFDG PET-CT for the evaluation of the state of malignancy. All of them had no signs and symptoms related to pituitary tumor. The average age of the patients was 63.3 +/- 12.0 years (49-85 years). Eleven patients were men and 5 were women. The mean diameter of the tumor was 17.9 +/- 5.7 mm. Most of the pituitary incidentalomas were macroadenoma. The result of tumor morphologic evaluation by the Hardy classification was as follows: 6 grade IV, 1 grade III, 3 grade II and 1 grade I. The mean standardized uptake value of the tumor was 10.6 +/- 6.7. Ten patients had endocrine evaluation and they showed a normal hormone level. Among 16 patients, 4 patients received TSA and they were diagnosed with pituitary adenoma. CONCLUSION: This study showed that pituitary incidentaloma discovered on 18F-FDG PET-CT was extremely rare. It was almost all non-functioning macroadenoma and this showed relatively high FDG uptake.
