[Neonatal screening of congenital hypothyroidism with TSH measurement in dried blood spots on filter paper. A two years experience (author's transl)].

Systematic screening for congenital hypothyroidism was started in Lyon in september 1976. This screening was coupled with PKU, using the same dried blood samples on filter paper obtained on the 5th day of life. TSH levels were determined by radioimmunoassay adapted for dried blood samples (Kit Abbott). In 24 months, 56 176 samples were analyzed. The critical level calling for control was successively raised from from 20 to 30, now 40 microUI/ml of serum. A high level of TSH was found in 307 children (0,55%). Pathological deliveries were found in most of these infants (neonatal injury, cesarean, section forceps or ocytocic perfusion, neonatal icterus) and a second or a third measurement showed normal TSH level. Congenital hypothyroidism, was found detected in 18 infants: 12 ectopic gland, 5 athyreosis and 1 dyshormonogenesis. Treatment was begun at a mean age of 38 days (29 to 50 days).

[Neonatal screening for congenital hypothyroidism by measuring TSH in dried blood samples. Two years experience in the method (author's transl)].

Systematic screening for congenital hypothyroidism was started in Lyon in September 1976. This screening was coupled with PKU screening, using the same dried blood samples in filter paper obtained on the 5 th day of life. TSH levels were determined by radioimmunoassay adapted for dried blood samples (Kit Abbott). In 24 months, 56 176 samples were analyzed. The critical level calling for control was successively raised from 20 to 30 now 40 muUl/ml of serum. A high level of TSH was found in 307 children (0.55 p. 100). Pathological deliveries were found in most of these infants (neonatal injury, cesarean section, forceps or ocytocic perfusion, neonatal icterus) and a second or a third measurement showed normal TSH level. Congenital hypothyroidism, was detected in 18 infants: 12 ectopic gland, 5 athyreosis and 1 dyshormonogenesis. Treatment was begun at a mean age of 38 days (29 to 50 days). Despite a short follow-up the psychomotor development of the infants seems to be normal in all cases but one (one athyreosis with a neonatal injury and a malformative syndrome).

[Circadian variations in rat serum and urinary calcium and phosphorus. Reflections on the Ca/PO4 ratio].

Daily variations of serum and urine calcium and phosphate were determined in young and adult rats of both sexes. The animals were maintained in natural conditions of illumination and feeding ad libitum. The twenty-four hour rhythm of the serum levels and urinary excretion of these electrolytes in male rats is confirmed. This rhythm is markedly modified in young females and less in adult females. Evidence for a circadian rhythm of the Ca/PO4 ratio appears in all groups of rats. The rhythms of serum and urine Ca/PO4 rations are similar in all experimental groups.
