Arterial pressure in the ophthalmic artery was studied in 73 patients (135 eyes) with autoimmune thyroiditis in different thyroid function. A rise of diastolic and systolic pressure in the ophthalmic artery was noted in all groups of patients. It could be accounted for by a high degree of activation of the hypothalamic region as a result of sharp deficiency of thyroid hormones. Raised arterial pressure in the ophthalmic artery in patients with euthyroidism made it possible to recommend this method for early diagnosis of autoimmune thyroiditis.
A total of 2558 patients (95% of patients who sustained strumectomy in the Chelyabinsk region in 1969--1977 for euthyroid nodular goiter) were examined. There proved to be a relationship between the iodine content in the food products of the population and the frequency of the morphologically-definable autoimmune processes in the thyroid gland; this dependence was direct for the marked autoaggression processes, and indirect--for the initial ones. This dependence is also confirmed by a rare combination of multinodular goiter with diffuse autoimmune thyroiditis and a frequent one--with the initial autoaggression forms.

According to the Food Program, adopted at the May (1982) plenum of the CPSU CC, the problem of the level approaching the medical aid rendered to the rural and urban population assumes ever greater actuality. The difficulties in providing the rural population with endocrinological aid and the routes for their overcoming were analyzed by the author on the basis of 20-year experience of endocrinological work in the Chelyabinsk region.

The leukocyte migration inhibition test (LMIT) was used to examine a group of patients with autoimmune thyroiditis and diffuse toxic goiter. The LMIT is likely to be used as an additional histological test for evaluating the correlation between the cellular and humoral types of autoimmunity in thyroid diseases.
