Differences in Clinicopathological Characteristics of Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma between Symptomatic and Asymptomatic Patients with Primary Hyperparathyroidism by Yuan Liu, Siyi Guo, Shaowei Sang, Jinbo Liu, Lin Qi, Bin Lv, Xiaoli Zhang

“…Concurrent thyroid nodules were found in 61.51% of PHPT patients, and the prevalence of PTC in thyroidectomized PHPT patients was 29.89% in our cohort. Lower serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) (p<0.05) and calcium (p<0.05) were found in PHPT patients with PTC compared to patients with benign thyroid lesion. …”

Prognosis and factors related to severe secondary hyperparathyroidism in long-term peritoneal dialysis patients by Yanmei Li, Xiaonan Feng, Na Chen, Shuhua Song, Min Yu, Yan Wang, Hongxia Zhang, Li Wang, Menghua Chen, Na Tian

“…The sSHPT and non-sSHPT groups comprised 75 (9.7%) (median progression, 35 months) and 696 patients, respectively. sSHPT was defined as a serum intact parathyroid hormone (PTH) level >800 pg/mL observed three times after active vitamin D pulse therapy. …”

Characterization of the C5H11ORF96 gene in chickens: cloning, tissue distribution and investigation of its potential function in stress response regulation by Yiping Wan, Jiannan Zhang, Xiao Zhang, Jiliang He, Ningkun Shi, Yuanyou Li, Juan Li, Yajun Wang

“…Our results showed that: (1) cC5H11ORF96 cDNA encodes a 120 amino acids protein, which shares high sequence identity with that of birds, mammals, reptiles, frogs and fish; (2) cC5H11ORF96 has a fully conserved RFKTQP motif and high proportion of serine, indicating its multiple potential phosphorylation sites; (3) cC5H11ORF96 is widely expressed in various chicken tissues, with high expression levels in the parathyroid gland, adrenal gland, and pituitary; (4) glucocorticoids (GCs) and stress significantly upregulate C5H11ORF96 mRNA and protein expression in the chicken pituitary and hypothalamus, suggesting its involvement in regulating stress response by influencing the negative feedback of GCs on the HPA axis in chickens. …”
