Objective To explore the relationship of thyrotropin receptor antibody (TRAb) and soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 ( sICAM-1 ) in patients with thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy ( TAO), and the role played by TRAb and sICAM-1 in the pathogenesis of TAO. Method Twenty-three TAO patients were assigned to groups according to the clinical activity score and EUGOGO. All patients were treated with intravenous methylprednisolone pulse. The levels of serum TRAb and sICAM-1 were evaluated by a competitive radioimmunoassay and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay respectively before treatment and by the end of each methylprednisolone pulse. Results The differernce in serum TRAb levels was associated with activity scores of TAO (P=0. 020). The change in serum sICAM-1 was associated with durations of TAO ( P = 0.015). During methylprednisolone treatment in active TAO patients, the levels of TRAb kept on decreasing gradually and markedly declined after the third methylprednisolone pulse in active TAO patients (P<0.05). The trends of changes in serum TRAb and sICAM-1 levels were both different in active and inactive TAO patients by tendency analysis. Conclusion TRAb level was related to the activity of TAO and might serve as a significant predictor of response to methylprednisolone therapy. The negative correlation between sICAM-1 levels and duration of TAO corroborates the role played by ICAM-1 during the early stage of TAO. Higher sICAM-1 levels are not expected to be specific to TAO and may not predict a response to methylprednisolone therapy.

Objective To investigate changes in lengths of the wrist ligaments during wrist radioulnar deviation. Methods Six volunteers were included in the study. CT scans was used to detect the changes under different positions of the wrist in the volunteers. The wrists were scanned from the position of radial deviation of 20° to the one of ulnar deviation of 40° at an interval of 20°. The 3-dimensional carpal and distal radioulnar joint structures were reconstructed with customized software and chauges in length of the palmar and dorsal wrist ligaments in radioulnar deviation were computed. Results From wrist radial deviation to neutral position, the lengths of the radioscaphocapitate ligament, the long radiolunate ligament and the dorsal intercarpal ligament increased significantly (P < 0.05), they increased (2.4±0.3) mm, (2.3±0.8) mm,(1.2±0.6) mm, (1.2±1.2)mm and (2.6±1.0) mm respectively. While from wrist ulnar deviation to neutral position, ulnocapitate ligament and the dorsal radiocarpal ligament increased significantly (P < 0.05), they increased (0.8 ±0.6) nm and (1.0±0.5) mm respectively. Conclusion At wrist radial deviation, the radioscaphocapitate, long radiolunate and dorsal intercarpal ligaments are slack. At wrist ulnar deviation, the ulnocapitate ligament and the dorsal radiocarpal ligament are slack. These positions may be favorable to healing of these ligaments.
