Multi-disciplinary team (MDT) is increasingly applied in oncology and refractory diseases. In recent years, MDT has also been applied in diagnosis and treatment of pituitary adenoma and related diseases. This review summarizes the advantages and characteristics of the MDT diagnosis and treatment mode, and analyzes the application and effect of the MDT diagnosis and treatment mode in the Center of Pituitary Adenoma and Related Diseases, West China Hospital, Sichuan University. So far, it has shown that MDT has advantages such as it is professional, full of collaborative interaction, and efficient and optimized. It is a platform of multi-disciplinary cooperation and resources in the diagnosis and treatment of difficult diseases. Case discussion in MDT mode is conducive to timely selection of the best treatment options for patients with pituitary adenoma and related diseases, providing a good learning platform for doctors with different professional backgrounds, and promoting the improvement of professional diagnosis and treatment level of doctors in related departments. The development of MDT will help us to use limited medical resources efficiently, promote the medical team to be more specialized, optimize the diagnosis and treatment process, and improve the effectiveness of the treatment, for benefiting more patients with pituitary adenomas and related diseases.
ObjectiveTo investigate the risk of cardiac valve regurgitation in patients with pituitary prolactinoma treated with bromocriptine for a long time. MethodsBetween January 2012 and February 2013, 26 pituitary prolactinoma patients treated with bromocriptine for at least 6 months were included in the observation group, and 101 healthy people were regarded as the control group. Transthoracic echocardiography were performed on these patients for cardiac regurgitation, and the echocardiographic data were compared between the two groups. ResultsTrace tricuspid regurgitation was presented in 38.46% of patients in the observation group, and 19.80% of the controls (P=0.046). Interventricular septum thickness was (8.62±0.31) mm in patients in the observation group, and it was (8.57±0.12) mm in the controls (P=0.042). ConclusionNo clinical significant cardiac valve regurgitation has been observed in pituitary prolactinoma patients treated by bromocriptin for a long time. Long-term echocardiographic follow-up of these patients is necessary.
目的:对照研究Fascin在侵袭性和非侵袭性垂体瘤中的表达差异,探讨Fascin的表达与垂体瘤侵袭性的关系。方法:应用Envision二步免疫组化方法,通过测定各样本平均光密度值和积分光密度值,比较侵袭性和非侵袭性垂体腺瘤、不同病理类型、不同体积肿瘤中Fascin的表达差异。结果:Fascin在侵袭性垂体腺瘤的表达明显高于非侵袭性垂体腺瘤,其表达水平与垂体腺瘤的侵袭性正相关,巨大型肿瘤的表达明显高于小型肿瘤,不同病理类型之间无显著差异。结论:Fascin的表达与垂体腺瘤的侵袭生长有关,与垂体瘤大小有关,与病理类型无关。

Conclusion: PTTG may play an important role in carcinogenesis、development and metastasis of human nonsmall cell lung cancer.
ObjectiveTo explore the effectiveness of the usage of artificial bone of tricalcium phophate in sellar floor reconstruction after transsphenoidal microsurgery for pituitary adeoma. MethodsBetween January and December 2014, 85 patients with pituitary adema underwent transsphenoidal microsurgery, and the clinical data were retrospectively analyzed. "Sandiwich" was used for sellar floor reconstruction in 46 cases (control group), and "sandiwich" combined with the artificial bone of tricalcium phophate in 39 cases (trial group). There was no significant difference in gender, age, disease duration, size of tumor, invasiveness, and the degree of damage to the sellar floor between 2 groups (P>0.05). ResultsTotal removal and subtotal removal of tumors were achieved in 39 cases and 7 cases of the control group, and in 33 cases and 6 cases of the trial group, showing no significant difference between 2 groups (Z=-1.303, P=0.193). Cerebrospinal leakage occurred in 8 cases of the control group and in 10 cases of the trial group during operation, showing no significant difference (Z=-1.748, P=0.080). The case number of cerebrospinal leakage in the control group (4 cases) was significantly more than that in the trial group (0) after operation (P=0.020). The time of gauze removal in the trial group (3 days) was significant shorter than that in the control group[(4.3±1.6) days] (t=2.236, P=0.033). The patients were followed up 3-14 months in the control group and 5-13 months in the trial group. No cerebrospinal leakage occurred during follow-up. ConclusionSellar floor reconstruction with artificial bone of tricalcium phophate is safe, and it can reduce cerebrospinal leakage and shorten the time of gauze removal.
Objective To investigate financial burden of in-patients with hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal gland/gonad diseases in the West China Hospital of Sichuan University, 2011, so as to provide baseline data for further research. Methods The data of in-patients (who had been discharged from the department of endocrinology and metabolism or discharged after being transferred to other departments for diagnosis and treatment in the West China Hospital in 2011) were collected from the Hospital Information System (HIS) of the West China Hospital, including basic information, initial diagnosis when the patients were discharged, hospital costs, the information about whether the patients had been registered the insurance in hospital, etc. We classified diseases according to ICD-10 based on the initial diagnosis when the patients were discharged on the first page of case reports. The data were input using Excel 2010 software, and statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 13.0 software. Results The results showed that: in 2011, 352 person-times of in-patients with hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal gland/gonad disease as first diagnosis were hospitalized in the department of endocrinology and metabolism, of which, 139 were male and 213 were female, with mean age of 42.9±15.0 years; and b) median hospital stay was 11 days, the average cost of hospital stay for each patient was RMB 4 361.09 yuan, most of which was for lab tests, examination, and biomedicine cost. Conclusion Hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal gland/gonad diseases are an important health problem in the department of endocrinology and metabolism in a Triple-A Hospital. Most of hospitalization costs are for lab tests, examination, and biomedicine cost.
摘要:目的:总结巨大垂体腺瘤水钠代谢紊乱的围手术期处理经验。方法:对71例巨大垂体腺瘤患者术前及术后1周内每日检测血、尿电解质水平,以及血、尿渗透压,判断失钠及失水类型。总结不同瘤体大小与手术入路和水钠紊乱发生率、程度、时间之间的关系。结果:71例巨大垂体腺瘤患者中,出现水钠代谢紊乱52例,发生率73.2%。肿瘤大小与水钠紊乱发生率、严重程度、发生时间成正比,而手术入路选择与水钠代谢紊乱发生无明显相关。结论:巨大垂体腺瘤患者术后水钠代谢紊乱的发生与瘤体大小成正相关,其出现时间和表现形式复杂。对水钠代谢紊乱严重患者可适当予以预防性治疗,以减少临床症状和不良后果。Abstract: Objective: To summarize the preioperative management experience of metabolic disturbance of water and natrium for patients with giant pituitary adenomas. Methods: The electrolyte and osmotic pressure of blood and urine in patients with giant pituitary adenomas were detected within preoperative and postoperative one week and the type of the metabolic disturbance of water and natrium were determined. The correlation of the different tumor size and surgical approach with the incidence rate, extent and time of the metabolic disturbance was summarized. Results: There were 52 cases with different extent metabolic disturbance of water and natrium in 71 cases of giant pituitary adenomas(73.2%). There were a positive correlation of tumor size with the incidence rate, extent and time of the metabolic disturbance, and a negative correlation of surgical approach with that of the metabolic disturbance. Conclusion: The metabolic disturbance of water and natrium in giant pituitary adenomas was positive correlation with the tumor size, which. is various in emergence time and pattern of manifestation. To reduce the clinical symptoms and adverse consequences, prophylactic treatment may be used in patients with serious metabolic disorder of water and natrium.
【摘要】 患者为老年男性,反复出现恶心、呕吐、乏力、低钠、低钾血症, 3次住院。对其恶心呕吐原因,曾考虑是否有抗高血压药物吲哒帕胺所引起,或是老年人摄入不足,电解质紊乱所致低钠低钾血症。最后考虑该患者低钠血症系垂体前叶功能减退所致。MRI检查显示空蝶鞍。空鞍的原因尚不清楚,空鞍综合征也是垂体前叶功能减退的因素之一。此症尽管很少见,但随着CT、MRI这些高新设备的普遍使用及人口老龄化,会发现更多的病例,也对我们诊断治疗提供了有力的依据。【Abstract】The patient’s condition: old male patient with repeat nausea, vomitus, hypodynamia, low sodium and kaliopenia. Three times to be in hospital. First, we consider that indapamide resuted low sodium and Kaliopemia,but we discovered that the anterior pituitay gland hypofunction. MRI show that empty sella turcica. The reason of empty is not clear,the saddle syndrome is also a factor of pituitary function before the leaves falling off. The disease was rare,but with common use of CT,MRI and aging,we will discover many more cases to provide power evidence for diagnosis and treatment.
