The aim of our study was to study the benefit of ultrasound in the Ti-rads classification of thyroid nodules. Methodology: This was a prospective study with a descriptive aim, with prospective collection, which took place over a period of 17 months at the “Marie Curie” medical clinic. The ultrasound machine used was a Voluson E8 from 2011 and the examinations were carried out by two radiologists and two experienced sonographers. The parameters studied were sociodemographic data;clinical data and ultrasound aspects of the Ti-rads classification in the management of nodules. Results: We collected 235 patients out of 738 patients referred to the service for a cervical ultrasound, i.e. a frequency of 31.84% of cases. There was a female predominance with 95.7% of cases and a sex ratio of 0.04. The average age of our patients was 50 years. We found on cervical ultrasound: Isthmo-lobar glandular hyperplasia in 99 patients, i.e. a frequency of 42.1%. The Ti-rads 3 classification was the most represented in 69.4% of cases. The benignity criterion represented 85.6% of cases in our patients and the malignancy criterion represented 14.4% of cases. Conclusion: The precise description of a thyroid nodule provided by ultrasound (Ti-rads) is essential in the management of nodules.展开更多

Charcot-Marie-Tooth type 2neuropathies (CMT2) are a group of genetically heterogeneous disorders, in which similar peripheral neuropathology isinexplicably caused by various mutated genes. Their possible molecular links remain elusive. Here, we found that uponenvironmental stress, many CMT2-causing mutant proteins adopt similar properties by entering stress granules (SGs), where theyaberrantly interact with G3BP and integrate into SG pathways. For example, glycyl-tRNA synthetase (GlyRS) is translocated fromthe cytoplasm into SGs upon stress, where the mutant GlyRS perturbs the G3BP-centric SG network by aberrantly binding toG3BP. This disrupts SG-mediated stress responses, leading to increased stress vulnerability in motoneurons. Disrupting thisaberrant interaction rescues SG abnormalities and alleviates motor deficits in CMT2D mice. These findings reveal a stressdependentmolecular link across diverse CMT2 mutants and provide a conceptual framework for understanding geneticheterogeneity in light of environmental stress.展开更多
