Introduction
The role of testosterone supplementation (TS) as a possible treatment for male
sexual dysfunction remains questionable. The aim of the present study is to metaanalyse data evaluating the effects of TS on male sexual function and its
therapeutic synergism with the use of phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5i).
Methods
An extensive Medline Embase and Cochrane search was performed including the
following words: ‘testosterone’, ‘erectile dysfunction’. All randomized controlled
trials (RCTs) comparing the effect of TS vs placebo on sexual function or the
effect of TS as add on to PDE5ı` s on sexual function were included. Data
extraction was performed independently by two of the authors (A.M.I, G.C), and
conflicts resolved by the third investigator (M.M).
Results.
Out of 1702 retrieved articles, 41 were included in the study. In particular, 29
compared TS vs placebo, whereas 12 trials evaluated the effect of TS as add on to
PDE5ı`s. TS is able to significantly ameliorate erections and to improve other
aspects of male sexual response in hypogonadal patients. However, the presence
of publication bias was detected. After applying Duval and Tweedie ‘trim and fill’
method, the positive effect of TS on erectile function and libido components
retained significance only in RCTs partially or completed supported from
pharmaceutical companies (CI (0.04–0.53) and (0.12;0.52) respectively). In
addition, we also report that TS could be associated with an improvement in
PDE5i outcome. These results were not confirmed when placebo-controlled
studies were selectively analysed. The majority of them, however, included mixed
eugonadal/hypogonadal subjects.
Conclusions
TS plays positive effects on male sexual function in hypogonadal subjects. The
apparent difference between industry-supported and independent studies could
depend on trial design more than on publication bias. New RCTs exploring the
effect of TS in selected cases of PDE5i failure who persistently retain low T levels
are advisable.

Introduction
New onset diabetes after transplantation (NODAT) is a recognized metabolic
complication of kidney transplantation: its rates at 12 months after transplantation
is between 20 and 50% for kidney recipients and it is associated with increased
risks of graft rejection, infection, cardiovascular disease and death. Transplantspecific risk factors for NODAT,such as corticosteroids and calcineurin
inhibitors, play a dominant role in its pathogenesis. Furthermore polymorphisms
in GR gene are common in the human population and play a role in regulation of
glucocrticoid sensitivity.
Objective
Determine the incidence genetic and clinical risk factors for NODAT among
kidney recipients in our centre.
Patients and methods
We studied 96 kidney allograft recipients without preexisting diabetes. The
presence of arterial hypertension, blood chemistry and BMI were assessed at 3, 6
and 12 months. GR gene polymorphism (BclI, A3669G) were analyzed using
RT-PCR System and Taqman allelic discrimination assays.
Results
Three months after renal transplantation 27% recipients developed NODAT.
There were no significant differences in age, mean daily steroids doses and
genetic polymorphism in GR between patients with NODAT and healthy control.
Patients with NODAT had a BMI significantly increased compared with healthy
control (25.4 vs 21.8, PZ0.02).
Conclusions
The prevalence of NODAT in our center is similar to that found in the literature.
BMI and obesity are a risk factors for NODAT. Age, daily steroids doses and
genetic polymorphism in GR are not correlates with its development.

Some steroids modulate the permeability of ionotropic receptors on cell
membranes and therefore may activate or inhibit neuronal activity depending
on the steroid structure. These neuroactive steroids (NAS) exert neuroprotective
effects like the neuronal remyelination.
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most common cause of neurological disability in
young adults. Therefore, the authors have followed the neuroprotective,
GABAergic, glycinergic, glutamatergic acetylcholinergic and purinergic NAS,
their precursors and metabolites and their conjugates (64 steroids)in the D4 and D5
steroidogenic pathways, estrogens, 5a/b-reduced pregnanes and androstanes
(both 17-oxo and 17b-hydroxy), 7a/b- and 16a-hydroxyderivatives of the D5
steroids, and 20a-hydroxyderivatives of the D4 and D5 steroids, and 5a/b-reduced
pregnanes in the circulation and cerebrospinal fluid of 13 female patients – 36
years old median age and 8 sex age matched healthy controls (both in the
follicular menstrual phase) with the use of gas chromatography – mass
spectrometry. The steroid conjugates were hydrolyzed and the released steroids
were detected like the case of the unconjugated ones. The primary finding was the
increased levels of C21 steroids in body fluids, which points to increased activity

Lingual thyroid is an abnormal formation appearing as the result of a deficient
descent during embryological development of the thyroid gland through the
thyroglossal duct to its normal pretracheal location, and it is a rare embryological
aberration. A 19 years old woman was admitted to with foreign-body-feeling,
dysphonia, hoarseness, constipation. Examination showed a spherical, red fleshy
and smooth contoured mass rat back of the tongue. Thyroid scan with technetium
99 m revealed isotope uptake in the base of tongue area and no uptake in the
normal thyroid location. With these findings lingual thyroid was diagnosed.
Surgical exision was not recommended since the lingual mass was the only
functioning thyroid gland and medical treatment was appropriate. We aimed to
present a case of lingual thyroid and hypothyroidism with laboratory and imaging
findings.
