[Endocrine changes in children with acute viral hepatitis].

The paper is concerned with the results of hormonal studies on virus hepatitis in 84 children aged 2 to 14, of them 28 had a mild form of disease, 50--medium grave and 6--a severe form of disease. A study was made of the blood content of ACTH, STH, TSH, cortisol, aldosterone, T3, T4, prolactin, and alpha-fetoprotein. The hormones were determined by a radioimmunoassay using Sorin kits (France). A considerable increase in the blood content of ACTH, cortisol, aldosterone and a moderate increase in STH, TSH and T4 concentrations were noted at the height of virus hepatitis. The above changes were interpreted as a result of combined manifestation of a stress reaction and a decrease in the catabolism of some liver hormones. An assumption has been made of a possibility of the effect of late hormonal shifts on the outcome of virus hepatitis of development of chronic hepatitis.

[Effect of human serum lipoproteins on various indices of thyroid function in rats].

It was shown that 7 to 10 days' injection of lipoproteins (LPs), isolated from the human blood serum according to Burstein and Scholnick method, induces significant inhibition of the rat thyroid iodine-absorbing function. Alpha-LPs exert more evident inhibiting effect than beta + pre- beta-LPs, and beta + pre- beta-LPs from the oncological patients' blood serum have more pronounced inhibiting effect comparatively to the same fraction of the donors; blood serum. 10-days' LP injection is accompanied by thyroxine inhibition and iodothyrozine/iodothyronine ratio rise in the thyroid tissue. In the experiments in vitro and in vivo several Lp fractions decreased thyrotropin-stimulating effect on AMP accumulation in the rat thyroid gland. Possible mechanisms of LP action on the thyroid function are discussed. The study of LP effect on the thyroid function in homologous system is necessary. It is suggested that hyperlipidemia (hyperlipoproteinemia) is one of the factors, contributing to the thyroid function decrease with age and in patients with malignant tumors.

[Study of the relationship between the function of the lymphocytes and monocytes and the level of various lipids and 11-hydroxycorticosteroids in diabetes mellitus].

On the example of diabetes mellitus there was shown a close interrelationship between the blood lymphocytes and monocytes function, on the one hand, and the disturbances of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism--on the other hand. Patients were examined both during the decompensated stage of diabetes and during the compensated one as a result of treatment. A reduction of lipid and 11-oxycorticosteroid level, a rise in T-lymphocyte percentage, an increase of the lymphocyte blasttransformation reaction, and of lysosomal and phagocytic activity of monocytes followed the treatment.
