Eighty-two patients suffering from panic attacks with or without phobias were examined for evidence of thyroid disease. None of the patients had abnormal total T4 or T3 resin uptake measurements, regardless of whether they were nonmedicated or treated with one of three antipanic drugs: alprazolam, phenelzine, or imipramine. A higher than expected incidence of undetectable TSH levels (22% overall) appeared in all groups. The clinical relevance of this finding is currently uncertain.

Objectives: Osteoporosis is characterized by decreased bone mass and damaged bone microstructure, often leading to fragility fractures. Low bone mineral density is a key risk factor for fractures. Serum cystatin C (CysC), an endogenous marker of glomerular filtration rate, is negatively correlated with bone mineral density and may be a potential risk factor for osteoporosis.

Diabetic nephropathy is a severe chronic complication characterized by cytotoxicity, inflammation, and fibrosis, ultimately leading to renal failure. This study systematically investigated the effects of the PARP1 inhibitor PJ-34 on high glucose-induced cytotoxicity, inflammation, and fibrosis in HK-2 cells, as well as its improvement on neuropathic pain response and transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) expression in a type 1 diabetes mellitus diabetic nephropathy mouse model. Through cellular and animal experiments, we observed that PJ-34 significantly enhanced the proliferative capacity of cells damaged by high glucose, reduced apoptosis, and decreased the release of proinflammatory factors TGFα, interleukin-6, and interleukin-1β.

Background: Thyroid cancer is a prevalent malignant tumor, especially with a higher incidence in women. Tumor microenvironment changes induced by inflammation and alterations in metabolic characteristics are critical in the development of thyroid cancer. Nevertheless, their causal relationships remain unclear.

Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a prevalent complication associated with diabetes in which podocyte dysfunction significantly contributes to the development and progression of the condition. Ring finger protein 183 (RNF183) is an ER-localized, transmembrane ring finger protein with classical E3 ligase activity. However, whether RNF183 is involved in glomerular podocyte dysfunction, which is the mechanism of action of DKD, is still poorly understood.

Background: Congenital hypothyroidism (CH) is the most common neonatal disorder, primarily caused by thyroid dysgenesis (TD). While the genetic cause has been identified in less than 5% of TD cases, there is an urgent need to investigate additional gene mutations that may be responsible. In 2018, TUBB1 was identified as a novel candidate gene associated with TD.
