PD-L1 and PD-1 expression in thyroid follicular epithelial dysplasia : Hashimoto thyroiditis related atypia and potential papillary carcinoma precurs…

2022

Programmed cell death ligand (PD-L1)/PD-1 expression has been studied in a variety of cancers and blockage of PD-L1/PD-1 pathway is a cornerstone of immunotherapy. We studied PD-L1/PD-1 immunohistochemical expression in 47 thyroid gland specimens in groups of (1) Hashimoto thyroiditis (HT) only; (2) HT and follicular epithelial dysplasia (FED); and (3) HT, FED, and papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). PD-1 positivity was found in immune cells, namely in lymphocytes, macrophages, and plasma cells with mean values for lymphocytes and macrophages 9% in HT group, 4% in FED group, and 4% in PTC group. PD-L1 positivity was identified in both immune cells and in the normal epithelial cells. In the H…

Modifications of interdental papilla microcirculation: A possible cause of periodontal disease in Hashimoto's thyroiditis?

2007

Summary Background Hypothyroidism is defined by a decrease in thyroid hormone production and thyroid gland function. The aim of the present research has been to evaluate the morphologic interdental papilla microcirculation of patients suffering from Hashimoto thyroiditis (HT) and to evaluate a possible correlation with the associated periodontal disease. Methods Fifteen healthy subjects and 15 patients suffering from HT were examined. The patients who showed conditions known to compromise microcirculation, such as diabetes, hypertension and pharmacological treatments, were not included in the group of healthy patients. All patients were non-smokers. Gingival capillaroscopy was used to inves…
