Abstract

A wide variety of neuroendocrine tumours express somatostatin receptors, and can be visualized by radiolabelled somatostatin analogue scintigraphy. To investigate the value of [111In]-octreotide scintigraphy (Octreoscan), 48 patients (37 with proven carcinoid, pancreatic endocrine and medullary carcinoma of thyroid tumours, 11 with neuroendocrine syndromes multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN-1) and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome (ZES) were examined with 111In-DTPA-D-Phe1-octreotide. Scintigrams were obtained at 24 and 48 h, and the results were compared with CT and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Thirty-five of 48 patients had positive [111In]-octreotide scintigraphy (23/25 (92%) carcinoids, 8/9 (89%) PETs, 4/11 (36%) MEN1 & ZES). Of the 42 lesions located by conventional imaging techniques, 37 (88%) were also identified by Octreoscan. Unexpected lesions (40 sites), not detected by CT or MR imaging were found in 24/48 (50%) patients. [111In]-octreotide scintigraphy has a higher sensitivity for tumour detection, and is superior to MR imaging and CT scanning in the identification of previously unsuspected extraliver and lymph node metastases. It may also be helpful for the localization of clinically suspected tumours in patients with MEN-1 and ZES.

Abstract

To compare bilateral inferior petrosal sinus sampling (IPSS) with high dose dexamethasone (HDD) and CRH testing (using recently proposed stringent response criteria) in the differential diagnosis of ACTH-dependent Cushing's syndrome, we reviewed 53 consecutive cases. The main analysis was limited to 45 cases with confirmed diagnosis: 44 with pituitary dependency, proven by confirmatory histology and/or significant biochemical improvement after pituitary surgery, and 1 with ectopic ACTH syndrome. After HDD (2 mg every 6 h for 48 h), 21 of the 44 pituitary cases met the stringent more than 90% suppression criterion. Twenty-three of the 44 pituitary cases also underwent CRH testing; 16 of 23 met a stringent response criterion of a more than 50% serum cortisol rise. For HDD and CRH testing combined, 8 of 23 fulfilled both stringent criteria, 10 of 23 had discordant results, and 5 of 23 failed to fulfil either of the stringent criteria for pituitary dependency. IPSS was performed in all 44 of the proven pituitary cases; 36 had petrosal/peripheral ACTH ratios of 2.0 or more without CRH stimulation. Thus, in patients with proven pituitary disease, stringent response criteria to HDD and CRH testing were fulfilled by only 48% and 70%, respectively. IPSS, which gave direct evidence of pituitary ACTH secretion in 82% of the cases, is therefore considered necessary in a significant proportion of cases.

Abstract

A comparison is made of the use of selective intra-arterial subtraction angiography and doppler sonography in the assessment of disease in 206 carotid arteries. Maximal stenoses in each of the internal, external and common carotid arteries were recorded and compared using both modalities. In 93% of cases, arteries reported as normal ultrasonically were also found to be normal on angiography. However, agreement between the modalities in the assessment of severe stenoses was rather less at 79%. Overall agreement between the two modalities was good using statistical analysis (weighted Kappa). It is our view that ultrasound is reliable in normal vessels, but where significant disease is present the rate of error between the two modalities is too high to warrant omission of angiography.

Abstract

Background: Routine intravenous cholangiography using the safer contrast medium, meglumine iotroxate, may be a useful investigation prior to laparoscopic cholecystectomy for the detection of suspected common bile duct stones. We compared this with endoscopic cholangiography., Methods: Eighty-one consecutive nonjaundiced patients (mean age 62 years; range 20 to 90) with suspected common bile duct stones referred for endoscopic cholangiography to one center underwent intravenous cholangiography that was considered positive if it detected ductal stones. The ability of ultrasound scans and liver function tests to predict ductal stones was also assessed., Results: Sixty patients had both endoscopic and intravenous cholangiograms performed. Thirteen out of 27 patients with ductal stones confirmed by endoscopic cholangiography had positive intravenous cholangiograms, and 29 out of 30 with no stones had negative intravenous cholangiograms. The sensitivity for intravenous cholangiography was 48%, specificity 97%, positive predictive value 93%, negative predictive value 67%, and accuracy 73%. For ultrasound scans the positive predictive value was 69%; negative predictive value was 78%. For liver function tests the positive predictive value was 68%; negative predictive value was 93%., Conclusions: Intravenous cholangiography cannot be recommended instead of endoscopic cholangiography except in situations where the latter is not readily available. Ultrasound and liver function tests are useful in predicting ductal stones.

Abstract

Injuries to the extrahepatic biliary tree occurring during cholecystectomy or other upper gastrointestinal surgical procedures are not uncommon. The consequences are often catastrophic. We report the results of a personal series of bile duct repairs from a tertiary referral centre over a twenty-one year period. A total of 33 patients were referred. Percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography was the radiological investigation of choice to outline the biliary system. Percutaneous transhepatic dilatation was performed in six patients and 22 patients had either primary surgical repair, or reconstruction of their biliary tree performed by hepaticojejunostomy with an 80 cm Roux-en-Y limb. Of these only two have required revision surgery. We recommend early referral of patients with recognised iatrogenic injuries to specialist hepatobiliary units with no attempt at repair prior to referral.

Abstract

We describe a case of recurrent hypoglycaemia associated with a hepatoma. During hypoglycaemia serum insulin was undetectable. Plasma insulin-like growth factor II (IGF-II) was not elevated although 71% of plasma IGF-II was present as big IGF-II (molecular weight 11 kDa) which probably represents a non-glycated form of pro-IGF-II. The GH response to hypoglycaemia was impaired and plasma levels of both IGF-I and the GH-dependent IGF binding protein (IGFBP-3) were low. A recently described unextracted assay directed against the first 21 amino acids of the E-domain (E-21) of proinsulin-like growth factor-II (pro-IGF-II) allows direct plasma estimation (plasma E-21) of larger molecular forms of IGF-II without interference from normal IGF-II and IGF binding proteins. Basal values were grossly elevated (23.7 and 23.8 nmol/l). Treatment with GH led to an increase in the mean plasma glucose across 24 hours (4.25 +/- 0.21 mol/l (mean +/- SEM) before treatment, compared with 4.86 mmol/l +/- 0.17 following GH (P < 0.01)) and a reduction in hypoglycaemic attacks. The treatment was associated with a rise in IGFBP-3 and small increases in insulin like growth factors. Subsequent treatment with the somatostatin analogue octreotide did not produce a significant change in plasma glucose levels or insulin-like growth factors. Two courses of intrahepatic adriamycin restored elevated levels of E-21 to normal. Total IGF-II remained normal and IGF-I increased. GH treatment was successfully withdrawn with no effect on plasma glucose or growth factor levels. The patient remained free from hypoglycaemia.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract

Objective: We aimed to study the effect of biosynthetic growth hormone (GH) replacement in growth hormone deficient adults., Design: We performed a double-blind placebo-controlled cross-over study of 6 months biosynthetic GH, replacement and 6 months placebo separated by a 1-month's washout period., Patients: Fourteen growth hormone deficient adults were studied., Measurements: We measured total body weight, percentage fat mass, lean body mass, muscle volume, exercise capacity, maximum oxygen consumption, muscle strength, bone mineral content, a number of biochemical parameters, IGF-I, GH antibodies and psychological well-being., Results: Total body weight remained unchanged, but lean body mass increased (before GH mean +/- SEM 49.8 +/- 5.5, after 53.4 +/- 5.6 kg; placebo before 51.2 +/- 5.4, after 50.4 +/- 5.1 kg; P less than 0.05 and fat mass decreased (before GH 21.5 +/- 4.1, after 19.3 +/- 4.3; placebo before 19.3 +/- 4.0, after 22.5 +/- 4.5 kg; P less than 0.05). Thigh muscle volume increased: (before GH 94.1 +/- 7.7, after 99.5 +/- 8.4 ml; placebo before 99.3 +/- 8.6, after 95.4 +/- 7.8 ml/0.8 mm computerized tomographic slice; P less than 0.05). Exercise capacity increased (before GH 174 +/- 15, after 199 +/- 18.9 watts; placebo before 162.5 +/- 2.3, after 154 +/- 19.8 watts; P less than 0.05), as did maximum oxygen consumption (before GH 1.93 +/- 0.2, after 2.17 +/- 0.2 l/m; placebo before 1.92 +/- 0.3, after 1.98 +/- 0.2 l/m; P less than 0.05). There was no change in quadriceps muscle strength. Alkaline phosphatase increased (before GH 87.5 (32-158), after 106.0 (49-179) U/I, placebo 99.5 (50-145), after 72.0 (40-111) U/I; P less than 0.05) without a change in the spinal bone density. IGF-I increased (before GH 62 (36-97), after 216 (62-362) micrograms/l; placebo before 59 (52-112), after 60.5 (38-94) micrograms/l; P less than 0.05). Carbohydrate tolerance remained unchanged as did fasting lipids, serum sodium, potassium, urea, calcium, phosphate and liver transaminases. Psychological well-being remained unchanged. No growth hormone antibodies were detected before or after GH treatment., Conclusions: GH alters the body composition of growth hormone deficient adults and leads to improved exercise capacity; alkaline phosphatase activity increases but without a change in spinal bone density, and carbohydrate tolerance remains unaltered.

Abstract

The clinical features, diagnostic methods, management and survival in 16 cases of Zollinger-Ellison syndrome encountered in Northern Ireland between the years 1970 and 1988 are described. While the majority of patients in the first decade of the study period had surgical treatment, those presenting in the latter period have been managed with medical therapy in the form of H2-receptor antagonists or omeprazole. The increasing use of these agents seems to be altering the severe clinical features of this condition, reducing the indications for surgery and maintaining patients, with or without evidence of metastatic disease, in clinical remission.

Abstract

Ten acromegalic subjects were studied in a trial designed to ascertain the optimum dosage of the somatostatin analogue SMS 201-995 (octreotide) in active acromegaly. Twenty-four-hour growth hormone (GH) profiles were assessed monthly for 6 months and again after 1 year of continuous therapy. After basal assessment octreotide was administered subcutaneously at a dose of 100 micrograms three times a day throughout the first month. The dose was increased by 300 micrograms/day at monthly intervals to a maximum of 1500 micrograms/day, unless serum GH fell to within set criteria. Eight patients completed the trial. One patient withdrew because of intractable diarrhoea while another died of causes related to his acromegaly and we have no evidence that octreotide played any part in his death. Mean 24-h GH fell from a basal level of 34.3 +/- SEM 7.6 mU/l to 8.0 +/- 1.3 mU/l (P less than 0.05) after 6 months. At 1 month (300 micrograms/day) mean GH was 13.6 +/- 2.2 mU/l and at 2 months (600 micrograms/day) 10.8 +/- 2.2 mU/l (P less than 0.05 vs 300 micrograms/day dose), and at 5 months (1500 micrograms/day) 11.3 +/- 2.0 mU/l (all P less than 0.05 vs basal). Analysis of group means revealed no significant difference between any dose schedules above 600 micrograms/day. After 1 year the mean GH of the group (n = 8) was 7.5 +/- 1.3 mU/l (P less than 0.05 vs basal). Three patients developed a deterioration and one an improvement in their glucose tolerance and three developed asymptomatic gallstones during the year of therapy. In conclusion, octreotide lowered GH levels in acromegaly over a 1-year period. We found no evidence that routinely increasing the dose beyond 600 micrograms/day was helpful.

Abstract

A radioimmunoassay has been developed for neurone specific enolase (NSE) and used to measure serum NSE levels in patients with neuroendocrine and non-neuroendocrine tumours following intra hepatic arterial chemotherapy. Ten patients were studied, 7 receiving streptozotocin and floxuridine for neuroendocrine tumours and three receiving cisplatinum for non-neuroendocrine neoplasms. All ten patients had liver metastases. In patients with tumours of neuroendocrine origin, a significant increase in serum NSE was recorded within 24 h of therapy. Slight increases in serum NSE levels were also recorded in three patients with non neuroendocrine tumours. These increases may reflect lysis of neuroendocrine cells within the tumour. Raised levels in non-neuroendocrine tumour patients may reveal damage done to healthy neuronal and neuroendocrine cells during treatment. NSE may be a useful marker of the extent of cell death following chemotherapy.

Abstract

A retrospective study of patients who had undergone venography for suspected deep venous thrombosis during a six month period was undertaken to assess the influence of the examination on the subsequent management. Of these patients 38.6% had evidence of thrombus confirmed by the examination. This figure is comparable with other published results and did not bear out the impression that too many negative venograms were being obtained. Objective diagnosis of deep venous thrombosis is essential to ensure safe and cost-effective management. Other techniques have been advocated for the diagnosis of this condition but all have significant disadvantages compared with venography.

Abstract

To assess the accuracy of CT in diagnosis and staging of renal cell carcinoma, the surgical findings and CT scans were compared retrospectively in 21 patients. In 17 cases diagnosed as renal cell carcinoma by CT criteria, 14 were verified at surgery and accurate staging information was given in 11. In four cases renal cell carcinoma was given as a differential diagnosis by CT and none had the tumour.

38. Dehydration in urography: is it really necessary?

Abstract

The use of dehydration in patients undergoing intravenous urography remains widespread, despite evidence that it may be dangerous and despite lack of evidence of any effect on the urinary concentration of contrast media. In total, 100 patients were studied, having been allocated randomly into two groups, one of which had undergone dehydration, the other group being normally hydrated. No significant difference in the quality of the urograms was detected. It is suggested that the practice of dehydration in preparation is unnecessary and should no longer be undertaken.

Abstract

Bilateral inferior petrosal sinus sampling was successfully performed in 12 of 13 consecutive patients with ACTH-dependent Cushing's syndrome. Ten of the patients subsequently had transsphenoidal pituitary microsurgery. Eight patients in whom the inferior petrosal sinus to peripheral vein ACTH level ratio was 1.5 or greater were found to have a pituitary adenoma. One of the remaining two patients who had ratios less than 1.5 had pituitary hyperplasia while the other had no identified abnormality. In five of the patients with pituitary tumour a ratio above 1.5 was present on only one side. Bilateral petrosal sampling is therefore always necessary. Tumour localization within the pituitary was only poorly predicted by either petrosal sinus sampling (four of eight) or computed tomography scanning (three of eight). If petrosal sinus sampling is used early in the differential diagnosis of ACTH-dependent hypercortisolism, then the use of other differential diagnostic tests may not always be necessary.

Abstract

A technique is described for investigating tumors of the carotid body and glomus jugulare. The examination comprises an easily performed radionuclide angiogram, and has been used to investigate 30 patients. This technique demonstrated seven carotid-body tumours, including two unsuspected clinically, and one tumor of the glomus jugulare. There was also one patient with a false-positive test for bilateral carotid-body tumors. Angiographic and/or surgical confirmation was obtained in all cases but one. A significant incidence of complication during contrast angiography was noted (two cases of transient hemiparesis). The radionuclide angiogram proved safer than contrast angiography and more reliable than clinical examination; it therefore appears to be the method of choice as the primary screening test in patients with suspected carotid-body and glomus-jugulare tumors.

Abstract

The prevalence of secondary forms of hypertension in diabetes is unknown. One hundred and five of 465 patients randomly selected from a diabetic clinic population were found to be hypertensive. Hypertensive patients aged less than 70 years were screened for renal artery stenosis using intravenous digital subtraction angiography. Two angiograms were technically unsatisfactory. All 18 insulin-dependent patients successfully screened had normal renal arteriograms. Five of 24 non-insulin-dependent patients had unilateral renal artery stenosis but functional tests did not clearly suggest that renal artery stenosis was causing the hypertension in these cases. No patient was referred for surgery or angioplasty. We conclude that renal artery stenosis is common in hypertensive non-insulin-dependent diabetics but may not, in many cases, be the cause of the hypertension. The criteria for investigating diabetic hypertensives for renal artery stenosis should be no different from those used in the general hypertensive population.
