Article Abstract
A 47-year-old woman presented with the complaints of nausea, vomiting, and weight loss. She had a history of bilateral surrenalectomy due to Cushing's syndrome. On examination she had tachycardia and orthostatic hypotension. Laboratory examinations revealed hypercalcemia and suppressed parathyroid hormone levels. She also had thyrotoxicosis due to Graves' disease. The investigations to rule out a malignancy were negative. With steroid, zoledronic acid, and antithyroid drug treatment her symptoms were resolved and calcium level was normalized. This case highlights the importance of recognizing thyrotoxicosis and concomitant adrenal failure as a possible cause of severe hypercalcemia.

Linsitinib Decreases Thyrotropin-Induced Thyroid Hormone Synthesis by Inhibiting Crosstalk Between Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone and Insulin-Like Growth Factor 1 Receptors in Human Thyrocytes and in Mice.

Thyrotropin receptor (TSHR) and insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF-1R) have been shown to crosstalk in primary cultures of human thyrocytes (hThyros) and Graves' orbital fibroblasts. The phenomenon of TSHR/IGF-1R crosstalk has been largely studied in the pathogenesis of thyroid eye disease (TED) in human orbital fibroblasts. Here, we investigated the effects of inhibiting the IGF-1R-mediated contribution to crosstalk by linsitinib (Lins), a small-molecule IGF-1R kinase inhibitor, on TSH-induced regulation of thyroperoxidase (TPO) and thyroglobulin (TG) mRNAs and proteins in hThyros and on TPO and TG mRNAs and free thyroxine (fT4) levels in mice.

Department of Endocrinology and Metabolism, Zhongshan Hospital of Xiamen University, School of Medicine, Xiamen University, Xiamen, China.
Background: Micronutrient research on Graves' disease (GD) is limited and controversial. Therefore, in order to explore possible correlations between genetically predicted amounts of six micronutrients [Copper (Cu), Iron (Ir), Zinc (Zn), Calcium (Ca), Vitamin C (VC), and Vitamin D (VD)] and GD risk, we carried out Mendelian randomization research (MR).
Methods: We conducted an MR analysis using genome-wide association studies (GWAS) from people of European ancestry and aggregated information from UK Biobank to provide insight into the relationships between micronutrients and GD.
Application of apparent diffusion coefficient of extraocular muscles from diffusion tensor imaging scanning in the assessment of disease activity of thyroid eye disease.

Department of Endocrinology, the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University, Chongqing, 400016, China.
Purpose: To evaluate the utility of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values of extraocular muscles (EOMs) in differentiating activity of thyroid eye disease (TED).
Method: Forty-two TED patients who underwent diffusion tensor imaging(DTI) were retrospectively enrolled in this study, including 29 patients in analysis group and 13 patients in validation group. The mean, maximum and minimum ADC value of each EOM were regarded as ADCmean, ADCmax and ADCmin.
Significance of Thyroid Stimulating Immunoglobulin and Thyrotropin Receptor Antibody in Graves' Disease.

Department of Endocrine and Metabolic Diseases, Shanghai Institute of Endocrine and Metabolic Diseases, Ruijin Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, Shanghai, China.
Context: Thyroid stimulating immunoglobulin (TSI) and thyrotropin receptor antibody (TRAb) are specific biomarkers for Graves' disease (GD), but their clinical characteristics are not fully understood.
Objectives: To clarify the clinical features and prognostic significance of TSI and TRAb in patients with GD.
Design: A retrospective data analysis and a follow-up study.

Introduction: Graves' Orbitopathy (GO) is an autoimmune disorder characterized by inflammation of orbital tissues, leading to various ocular manifestations, including ocular surface disease. This cross-sectional study aimed to assess the presence of ocular surface disease using the Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) in patients with Graves' disease (GD) and moderate-to-severe active GO compared to those with GD and mild non-active GO. Additionally, we aimed to investigate the correlation between ocular surface disease and the eye features of GO.
