3 (-0.7, 3.3) mg/cm 2/year in women, and -0.2 (-2.6, 2.2) mg/cm 2/year in men. For visceral fat, adjusted mean difference (95% CI) per SD increase in FSH was 1.80 (-0.03, 3.62) cm 2/year in women, and -0.33 (-3.73, 3.06) cm 2/year in men. Although cross-sectional studies and studies in perimenopausal women have demonstrated associations between FSH and BMD and body composition, in older adults, FSH level is not associated with bone mass or body composition changes. Although cross-sectional studies and studies in perimenopausal women have demonstrated associations between FSH and BMD and body composition, in older adults, FSH level is not associated with bone mass or body composition changes.Standard resection for patients with thymoma is resection of thymoma with total thymectomy (TTx) via median sternotomy. Hence, limited resection for thymoma means a lesser extent of resection of normal thymus compared with a standard procedure, i.e. resection of thymoma with partial thymectomy (PTx). In contrast, minimally invasive resection has been defined as resection of thymoma with TTx via a less-invasive approach. However, to date, few studies have precisely evaluated the differences in surgical and oncological outcomes among these three procedures. This report summarizes the differences among these three procedures with a review of studies (January 2000 to December 2020) focusing on the difference in surgical and oncological outcomes and presents current issues in the surgical management of thymoma. In this report, 16 studies were identified; 5 compared standard resection to limited resection, 9 compared standard resection to minimally invasive resection and 2 compared limited resection to minimally invasive resection. Most studies reported that the surgical and oncological outcomes of limited resection or minimally invasive resection were similar to those of standard resection in patients with early-stage thymoma. However, they did not include a sufficient follow-up period. Both limited resection and minimally invasive resection for early-stage thymoma might be reasonable treatment options. However, they are still promising modes of resection. Further studies with a long follow-up period are needed. Interleukin-2 (IL2), a proinflammatory cytokine, has been used to treat malignancies. Increased cortisol and ACTH were noted, but GH secretion was not investigated in detail. We quantified GH secretion after a single sc injection of IL2 in 17 young and 18 older healthy men in relation to dose, age and body composition. This was a placebo-controlled, blinded, prospectively randomized cross-over study. At 2000h IL2 (3 or 6 million units per m2 ) or saline was injected sc. Lights were off between 2300 and 0700h. Blood was sampled at 10-min intervals for 24h. Deconvolution analysis of GH secretion. GH profiles were pulsatile under both experimental conditions and lower in older than young volunteers. Since the effect of IL2 might be time-limited, GH analyses were performed on the complete 24-h series and the 6h after IL2 administration. Total and pulsatile 24-h GH secretion decreased nonsignificantly.Pulsatile secretion fell over the first 6h after IL2 (P=0.034), with visceral fat as covariate (P=0.003), but not age(P=0.10). Plots of cumulative 2-h bins of GH pulse mass showed a distinction by treatment and age groups a temporary GH decrease of 32% and 28% occurred in the first 2-h bins after midnight (P=0.019 and 0.038) in young subjects, while in older subjects no differences were present at any time point. This study demonstrates that IL2 temporarily diminishes GH secretion in young, but not elderly, men.
