Study Summary

This project analyzes the relationship between type 2 deiodinase gene polymorphism and the TSH inhibitory treatment efficacy in thyroid cancer patients with thyroidectomy, and explored the factors influencing TSH inhibitory treatment efficacy. It further explores whether patients with diO2-Thr92ALA genotype or DIO2 Orfa-Gly3ASP genotype should choose T4+T3 treatment, and the effect of different treatment options on the quality life of patients.

Study Description

Object: To explore the relationship between type 2 deiodinase gene polymorphism and the TSH inhibitory treatment efficacy in thyroid cancer patients with thyroidectomy, And figure out if it is better for patients with diO2-Thr92ALA genotype or DIO2 Orfa-Gly3ASP genotype to choose T4+T3 treatment,

Design:

Part I: Analysis of the correlation between DIO2 genotype and TSH inhibitory treatment effect:

  1. In accordance with inclusion and exclusion criteria; A total of 100 patients undergoing total thyroidectomy for thyroid cancer and 100 patients receiving 131 iodine treatment after total thyroidectomy will be included in our hospital from October 2021 to October

    1. All the patients signed informed consent

  2. Detection of basic condition:

    The included patients were recorded with height, weight, BMI, routine biochemistry, homocysteine, thyroid function, thyroid peroxidase antibodies, thyroglobulin, thyroid globulin,

  3. Genotype detection of DIO2 gene RS225014 and RS12885300 loci were tested for all the patients.

  4. Regular L-T4 treatment and drug dose adjustment:

    Patients included in the study were treated with L-T4 daily and the drug dose was adjusted so that FT4 did not exceed the normal range, and the TSH inhibition target was achieved as far as possible. After 3 months' treatment. The data of height, weight, BMI, routine biochemistry, thyroid function, thyroid peroxidase antibodies, thyroglobulin, thyroid globulin were tested again. SF-36 health survey were tested to evaluated the living quality.

  5. The effect of genotype and allele frequency on TSH inhibitory treatment was analyzed.

Part II: Compare the effects of single L-T4 treatment and L-T4+T3 on TSH inhibitory treatment and side effects

  1. L-t4 treatment vs T4+T3 treatment:

    Through the analysis of the first step, patients with refractory hypothyroidism whose FT4 dose reached 1.9ug/kg/d and TSH inhibition treatment failed to reach the standard were screened out, and these patients were randomly divided into L-T4 treatment group and L-T4+T3 treatment group. The patients were followed up for half a year, and the drug dose was adjusted every month to make TSH inhibition treatment target as far as possible.

  2. After half a year of treatment, the height, weight, BMI, routine biochemistry, thyroid function, thyroid peroxidase antibody, thyroglobulin, thyroglobulin antibody, were examined again. All patients were reevaluated SF-36 health survey.

  3. Statistical analysis was made of the effects of different treatment methods on TSH inhibition therapy and the effects on patients' quality of life,
