Focal destruction of the adenohypophysis by Nd:YAG laser does not destroy other structures of the hypothalamo-pituitary region. During reparative regeneration, the focus of coagulation necrosis after laser destruction of the adenohypophysis is replaced by cicatricial tissue. A method for surgical treatment of pituitary adenomas was developed. The efficiency, safety, and low traumatism of this method were confirmed in 87 patients.

Acquired forms of central diabetes insipidus: Mechanisms of disease.

Georgetown University, Washington, DC, 20007 USA. Electronic address:
Most cases of acquired central diabetes insipidus are caused by destruction of the neurohypophysis by: 1) anatomic lesions that destroy the vasopressin neurons by pressure or infiltration, 2) damage to the vasopressin neurons by surgery or head trauma, and 3) autoimmune destruction of the vasopressin neurons. Because the vasopressin neurons are located in the hypothalamus, lesions confined to the sella turcica generally do not cause diabetes insipidus because the posterior pituitary is simply the site of the axon terminals that secrete vasopressin into the bloodstream. In addition, the capacity of the neurohypophysis to synthesize vasopressin is greatly in excess of the body's needs, and destruction of 80-90% of the hypothalamic vasopressin neurons is required to produce diabetes insipidus.

Sheehan's syndrome, also called Simmond's syndrome, postpartum apoplexy, postpartum pituitary necrosis, and postpartum panhypopituitary syndrome, is the name given to postpartum hypopituitarism. The syndrome is caused by an infarction in the adenohypophysis, usually precipitated by massive uterine haemorrhage and hypovolemic shock during or after childbirth. Extensive destruction of pituitary cells results in varying degree of hypopituitarism.

The pituitary gland plays a critical role in reproduction. In response to the hypothalamus the anterior pituitary secretes prolactin, thyroid-stimulating hormone, adreno-corticotropic hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone and growth hormone. Dysregulation in these hormones often lead to reproductive failure.

Freshwater fish that live exclusively in rivers are at particular risk from fragmentation of the aquatic system, mainly the species that migrate upriver for reproduction. That is the case of Salminus hilarii, an important migratory species currently classified as "almost threatened" in the São Paulo State (Brazil), facing water pollution, dam construction, riparian habitat destruction and environmental changes that are even more serious in this State. Additionally, this species show ovulation dysfunction in captivity.

In a recent study, we showed that the adult pituitary gland is capable of regenerating transgenically ablated growth hormone-producing (GH(+)) somatotropes. Here, we investigated whether the gland's regenerative capacity is more general and also applies to the other major hormonal cell type, the prolactin-producing (PRL(+)) lactotropes. We set up the transgenic PRLCre/inducible diphtheria toxin receptor (iDTR) mouse model, in which the PRL promoter drives expression of Cre that induces DTR in lactotropes.
