Background: Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is used in selected patients with recurrent or metastatic thyroid cancer who have high surgical risk do not accept treatment. However, long-term follow-up data are limited. Here, we present our single-center experience the use of RFA treatment papillary carcinoma (PTC).
 Material and Methods: Patients underwent for PTC at Bursa Uludag University Fa...

The subunit structure of thyroglobulin has been investigated by gel filtration and polyacrylamide electrophoresis in sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) of the native and the S-carboxymethylated proteins. When the thyroglobulins from several species (calf, sheep, pig, man, rat, and guinea pig) were examined by polyacrylamide electrophoresis in SDS in the absence of reducing agents, most of the protein...

This study is the third in a series devoted to analyzing secretory phenomena in the thyroid follicular cell. The first and second dealt, respectively, with the fine structure of the cell under normal conditions and after acute stimulation with T S H (1, 2). In this study, we report biochemical data on the effect of acute stimulation with T S H on protein synthesis in the thyroid gland and corre...

The transfer of radiation therapy data among the various subsystems required for external beam treatments is subject to error. Hence, the establishment and management of a data transfer quality assurance program is strongly recommended. It should cover the QA of data transfers of patient specific treatments, imaging data, manually handled data and historical treatment records. QA of the databas...

introduction: imatinib, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor which resulted in much improvement in the treatment of chronic myelogenous leukemia (cml), may adversely affect thyroid gland function. to date, assessment of thyroid function during imatinib therapy has limited to retrospective studies. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of imatinib on thyroid function in a prospective manner. ...

The relationship between thyroid auto-immunity and the presence of lymphocytes in the thyroid gland has been analysed in patients with Graves' disease, toxic adenoma, and non-toxic nodular goitre. In all these conditions circulating antibody to thyroglobulin was significantly associated with lymphocytic infiltration. No similar correlation was established in the case of the complement-fixing an...

The synthesis of a thyroglobulin precursor directed by endogenous messenger RNA has been achieved in a heterologous cell-free system containing porcine thyroid membrane-bound ribosomes and rat brain cortex cell sap. The main features of the system, such as ion and nucleotide requirements, temperature, dependence, inhibitors sensitivity, and ability to reinitiate, were studied. The nature of the...
