[Immunoenzyme methods for determining thyroid hormones].

The analytical reliability of the immunoenzyme methods for determination of the thyroid hormones thyroxin, triiodothyronine, thyroid-binding globulin, thyrotropic hormone and the thyroid-binding capacity was examined by the peroxidase activity of the marker enzyme of "Specol-11" 28 healthy controls, 28 patients with subcompensated insulin-dependent diabetes with mean duration of 8.4 years and 11 patients with hypogonadism were examined. In the diabetic patients were found changes in their thyroid state characteristic for hypothyroidism--increased thyroxin and a decrease of the thyroid-stimulating hormone with a lowered level of the binding proteins. The patients with hypogonadism showed changes mainly in the binding proteins level, a decrease of the thyroid-binding capacity with 70%. The results reveal interrelations between the thyroid gland hormonal state and other hormonal disorders.

[Endothelial vascular desquamation in diabetics].

The endothelial vascular desquamation was studied in 32 diabetic patients and 150 healthy controls. In the diabetic patients a significantly high desquamation was found. No differences in the desquamation due to the type of diabetes, I or II, and its duration were found. The authors are of the opinion that the early vascular desquamation is the result of the high glycemia.

Chronic Disease

[A unique case of pseudohypoparathyroidism].

A case of pseudohypoparathyroidism is reported. The case presents with unusual features: primary hypogonadism (a rare feature) and several features undescribed until now with the syndrome--changes in the amino acid composition, coxae valgae, shallow fossa olecrani as well as normal values of the parathyroid hormones which is considered as a "phase state" due to the exhaustion of the secreting function of the parathyroid glands. The role of the G-unit in the etiology of the disease is discussed.
