The implications of subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) are many amongst which the most important is progression to overt hypothyroidism. Other debatable aspects are its association with cardiovascular risk, neuromuscular and psychiatric dysfunction, increased predisposition to developing metabolic syndrome and an underlying pro-inflammatory state. We aimed to study the lipid profile, lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] and hsCRP levels and insulin resistance in a group of patients with SCH in a referral hospital and see if any significant differences exist between them and euthyroids. This is a case–control study where the selection of controls and cases was based on the thyroid profile. Subjects were selected on their visit to clinical biochemistry lab for thyroid function tests. 33 euthyroids were taken as controls (Group I) and 38 patients comprising of subclinical hypothyroids were grouped as cases (Group II). Serum thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) was in the range of 0.5–5.0 mIU/L for euthyroids and for subclinical hypothyroids the concentration of TSH was more than 5 mIU/L. The concentration of tri-iodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) were in normal reference range in both the groups. Individual lipid profile parameters failed to show a significant p value between cases and controls. The LDL/HDL ratio was highly significant (p value < 0.0001) and hsCRP was also statistically between the two groups (p value = 0.0054). Lp(a) and insulin resistance did not differ significantly. SCH is a common disorder that frequently progresses to overt hypothyroidism. This study underlines the importance of LDL/HDL ratio rather than measurement of individual lipid profile parameters in bringing to light the dyslipidemic state associated with SCH. Moreover the use of hsCRP to detect an underlying pro-inflammatory state in SCH can also be emphasized. 相似文献

The prevalence of abnormal thyroid hormone levels in diabetes mellitus in Nigeria is not well described. To determine the
incidence of abnormal thyroid hormone levels in diabetics in Calabar, Nigeria, fasting blood samples from 161 diabetic subjects
and 105 non-diabetic controls were analysed. Free thyroxine (FT), thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), total triiodothyronine
(T3) and total thyroxine (T4) kits obtained from Biomerica Inc. of USA were used for the analysis. TSH levels (1.80±1.62) in diabetics were significantly
lower (p=0.016) than the level in non-diabetic controls (2.34±1.24). Male diabetics had lower (p<0.05) levels of TSH (1.192±0.68
miu/ml) than diabetic females (1.90±1.70 mlu/mt). The level of T3 in diabetic males (125±97ng/ml) was higher than the level in females (98±75ng/dl). TSH (F=2.74, p=0.049), T4(F=56.87, p=0.001), T3(F=56.44, P=0.001) in diabetics and FT4 (F=5.74, p=0.002) in controls showed significant variation with the ages of the subjects. Out of 161 diabetics subjects studies
26.6% had low plasma thyroid hormone levels (FT4>2.01 ng/dl). This study has shown a high incidence (46.5%) of abnormal thyroid hormone levels among the diabetics in Nigeria
(hypothyroidism 26.6%, hyperthyroidism, 19.9%). The prevalence of hypothyroidism was higher in women (16.8%) than in men (9.9%),
while hyperthyroidism was higher in males (11%) than in females (8%). This study has defined thyroid function status of diabetics
in Calabar, Nigeria probably the first of such work in Africa. 相似文献

Pregnancy is associated with significant, but reversible changes in thyroid function studies, which are among the most profound
seen as a result of a normal physiologic state. The present study was carried out to find out alterations in thyroid function
tests in each trimester in normal pregnant women as compared to non-pregnant women in Tabriz-Iran. A case-control study designed
with 229 normal pregnant women that randomly selected from the first (64 samples), the second (92 samples), and the third
(73 samples) trimesters and 250 randomly selected non-pregnant healthy female controls. Age range in both groups was 16–40
years. Thyroid function tests carried out by measuring serum levels of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), free and total thyroxin
(FT4, TT4), and free and total triiodothyronine (FT3, TT3) by commercially available radio immunoassay kits. We found that mean TT4 increased progressively during pregnancy. Our study showed increasing in serum levels of TT3 in the second trimester and then declining during the third trimester compared with non-pregnant women. We showed that FT4 strongly decreased during the third trimester. Free T3 showed declining in the second and third trimesters. Mean TSH did not show significant difference in each trimester compared
with non-pregnant women. The thyroid function tests in pregnancy should be interpreted against gestational age-related reference
intervals to avoid mis-interpretation of thyroid function during pregnancy. 相似文献

Vitamin B12 deficiency has been reported in patients with Autoimmune thyroid disorders. However there is limited data on exact prevalence of low B12 and its correlation with anti-thyroperoxidase antibody (anti-TPO) levels in these patients. The aim of our study was to estimate serum vitamin B12 levels in autoimmune thyroid disorders and to correlate B12 levels with anti-TPO. 350 patients were selected by convenient sampling. Vitamin B12 levels and thyroid parameters were estimated using fully automated chemiluminescence method on Access 2. Results of our study shows that using the manufacturer’s cut-off of 145 pg/mL, the prevalence of low serum vitamin B12 was found to be 45.50 %. Higher prevalence (55 %) was seen based on the published cut-off of 200 pg/mL The study however did not demonstrate any significant correlation between vitamin B12 levels and anti-TPO (r = −0.11 and p value of 0.30).

The effect of iodine deficiency (ID) on thyroid function in African women during pregnancy and postnatal period was examined,
for which very limited information is available. Serum T4, T3, TSH, TBG, thyroxine binding capacity (TBK), free thyroxine index (FT4I=T4/TBK) and T4/TBG were determined by ELISA technique in 32 pregnant women (resident of Plateau state, Nigeria- an ID zone) through pregnancy
upto term delivery, and in 5 women up to 6 weeks post delivery. Urinary iodide level was measured at delivery to determine
the degree of iodine deficiency. Results were matched with a non pregnant control comprising 44 subjects. 5555 birth weights
(BW) of term babies in the region were analysed to determine the prevalence of ‘small for dates’ (SFD) babies in the population.
Results show that the level of serum FT4I was elevated very significantly at late gestation (P<.001) but the women were not hyperthyroid, suggesting a marked disturbance
in binding of T4 with TBG during pregnancy. Five women with SFD babies were found in ‘compensated hypothyroid state’ and showed a significant
depression (p<.01) in serum T4/TBG, T4, FT4I and T3 levels to a low normal range, with a concurrent significant rise (p.<.001) in TSH level (above normal range) throughout pregnancy.
Incidence of SFD babies was higher (p.<.001) in ID zone (Bassa 15.2%) compared to control zone (Jos 9.8%). It is concluded
that a state of maternal ‘subclinical (compensated) hypothyroidism’ during pregnancy possibly plays an important role in the
aetiopathogenesis of SFD babies in Africans. A normal reference range for thyroid parameters at various stages of pregnancy
in healthy African women is established for the first time. 相似文献

Diabetes mellitus and thyroid disorders are common endocrinopathies, which often occur parallel. Dyslipidemia is very common in both of these conditions. The development of hypothyroidism is well-known in type 1 diabetics, but it was not distinctly understood in type 2 diabetics. Thus we tried to examine the association between type II deiodinase (D2 or DIO2) Thr92Ala single nucleotide gene polymorphism and thyroid function among type 2 diabetes mellitus patients. A total of 130 type 2 diabetics were screened and genotyped for DIO2 Thr92Ala polymorphism. Fasting plasma glucose, Glycosylated haemoglobin, lipid and thyroid profiles, malondialdehyde (MDA) and paraoxonase were estimated according to standard procedures. A significant altered level of thyroid hormones (TH’s) was found in Ala/Ala genotype when compared with Thr/Thr or Thr/Ala genotype. DIO2 and T3:T4 ratio significantly decreased, whereas total T4 and thyroid stimulating hormone levels significantly elevated among Ala/Ala genotype (131 ± 30 ng/ml; 0.12 ± 0.05; 7.17 ± 2.05 µg/dl; 4.77 ± 3.1 µIU/ml, respectively) when compared with Thr/Thr + Thr/Ala genotypes (176 ± 33 ng/ml; 0.21 ± 0.05; 5.21 ± 1.1 µg/dl; 2.59 ± 1.61 µIU/ml respectively). Moreover, D2 levels were significantly negatively correlated with TH’s levels except total T4 among Ala/Ala genotypes. All the patients were having a poor glycemic control, and their glycemic status was positively correlating with MDA levels. On the other hand, serum paraoxonase activity decreased among Ala/Ala genotype (104 ± 21 vs. 118 ± 18 nmol/min/ml). In conclusion, DIO2 Ala92 homozygous variant found to be associated with altered levels of DIO2, Thyroid profile and paraoxonase. Hence, we recommend to do detail study of genetic factors related to thyroid function and prevent additional diabetic complications. 相似文献

Thyroid hormonal status was measured in 80 malnourished children of different grades (I–IV) of protein energy malnutrition
(PEM). Serum levels of tri-iodo thyronine (T3), thyroxine (T4) and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) were measured by radioimmunoassay. The results were compared with 20 healthy, age
and sex matched controls. Levels of T3 and T4 were significantly low in PEM cases whereas TSH levels were similar in PEM cases when compared to controls. 相似文献

Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), Free Thyroxine (FT4) and Free Triiodothyronine (FT3) were assayed in 505 women of this region. 60 women had previous history of thyroid disease. The remaining 445 women formed
the “Disease free group”. A “Reference group” was obtained by excluding women with previous and present history of thyroid
dysfunction. Of the total 505 women examined 15.8% had thyroid dysfunction and 84.2% were euthyroid. 11.5% were hypothyroid
(9.5% sub-clinical) and 1.8% hyperthyroid (1.2% clinical). The geometric mean TSH for the total population was 2.65 μIU/ml.
It was significantly (p=0.025) lower in the reference population 2.17 μIU/ml. There was no significant difference in the FT3 and FT4 values between groups. 19% of women over 60 years had elevated TSH above 4.5 μIU/ml. The 2.5 and 97.5 percentiles of the
reference population was 1.1–5.2 μIU/ml. 6.1% of women in the reference group had TSH levels above the reference intervals.
Hypothyroidism particularly sub-clinical hypothyroidism is predominantly present amongst women in this iodine sufficient region.
Evaluation of thyroid status could help in early detection and treatment. 相似文献

Mechanically exfoliated two-dimensional ferromagnetic materials (2D FMs) possess long-range ferromagnetic order and topologically nontrivial skyrmions in few layers. However, because of the dimensionality effect, such few-layer systems usually exhibit much lower Curie temperature (TC) compared to their bulk counterparts. It is therefore of great interest to explore effective approaches to enhance their TC, particularly in wafer-scale for practical applications. Here, we report an interfacial proximity-induced high-TC 2D FM Fe3GeTe2 (FGT) via A-type antiferromagnetic material CrSb (CS) which strongly couples to FGT. A superlattice structure of (FGT/CS)n, where n stands for the period of FGT/CS heterostructure, has been successfully produced with sharp interfaces by molecular-beam epitaxy on 2-inch wafers. By performing elemental specific X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) measurements, we have unequivocally discovered that TC of 4-layer Fe3GeTe2 can be significantly enhanced from 140 K to 230 K because of the interfacial ferromagnetic coupling. Meanwhile, an inverse proximity effect occurs in the FGT/CS interface, driving the interfacial antiferromagnetic CrSb into a ferrimagnetic state as evidenced by double-switching behavior in hysteresis loops and the XMCD spectra. Density functional theory calculations show that the Fe-Te/Cr-Sb interface is strongly FM coupled and doping of the spin-polarized electrons by the interfacial Cr layer gives rise to the TC enhancement of the Fe3GeTe2 films, in accordance with our XMCD measurements. Strikingly, by introducing rich Fe in a 4-layer FGT/CS superlattice, TC can be further enhanced to near room temperature. Our results provide a feasible approach for enhancing the magnetic order of few-layer 2D FMs in wafer-scale and render opportunities for realizing realistic ultra-thin spintronic devices. 相似文献

An external quality assessment was conducted for RIA of thyroid related hormones. Thirtyfive laboratories (35 for T4, 34 for T3 and 23 for TSH) from different parts of country participated in the programme. Twentyfour samples (16 pools: 5 simple and 11 manipulated pools) in 8 batches, 3 per batch per month were sent for analysis of T4, T3 and TSH. Some of the samples were repeated 3 times at different occasions to assess the imprecision of the laboratory. The overall mean percent CV obtained for T4, T3 and TSH were 22.7, 36.32 and 52.38 respectively. The recovery for added T4 was 86.73% while that for T3 was 117.4%. A large variation was obtained for recovery of TSH. For T4 estimations, 13 laboratories had a desirable performance i. e. bias less than ±10.0% and variability of bias (VB) and imprecision (IP) less than 15.0%. None of the laboratories had a desirable performance for T3 or TSH. The number of laboratories with acceptable performance i. e. bias between ±10.0–15.0%, VB and IP between 20.0–25.0% for T4, T3 and TSH were 4, 3 and 0 respectively. The number of laboratories which required attention (bias between ±15.0–20.0%; VB and IP between 20.0–25.0%) were 5,7 and 1 respectively. The unacceptable results with larger bias, VB and IP for T4, T3 and TSH were 6, 18 and 17 respectively. Our results are in general agreement that the performance of T4 assay is better than T3 and both in turn are much better than TSH. Quantitation of circulating thyroid hormones (TH) viz. tri-iodothyronine (T3), thyroxine (T4) and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), which form the largest percentage of hormones estimated in a clinical laboratory is mainly done by radio-immunoassay (RIA) procedures. The reliability and reproducibility of these assays are generally monitored by using internal quality control (IQC) samples in every assay batch. Thus, the IQC provides information whether the assay results are satisfactory and can be released. However, external quality assessment (EQA) is a procedure whereby an external agency undertakes evaluation of the quality of an analytical service by providing samples for analysis to individual laboratories performing the assay. The data gathered is analysed collectively. EQA therefore provides a means by which performance of a laboratory is assessed in relation to other laboratories and matching the assay unbiased by removing systematic error, if present. This is important since RIA procedure involves several steps (collection and storage of samples, quality of the reagents, procedure followed for performance of an assay, counting equipment used and the mode of the data analysis) and therefore prone to systematic errors. We therefore undertook the EQA programme for assessment of thyroid related hormones as a joint collaborative project of Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, India and International Atomic Energy Agency. 相似文献

The effect of thyroid status on insulin sensitivity is of great interest but despite various studies there is conflicting
data on this subject. The study group comprised of 25 female subjects each with subclinical hypothyroidism, overt hypothyroidism
and euthyroid controls. Serum samples of all the patients were assayed for thyroid profile, Insulin and lipid profile. Homeostasis
model of assessment (HOMA-IR) was employed to assess the level of insulin resistance. Patients with hypothyroidism demonstrated
insulin resistance and dyslipidemia as observed by the higher HOMA-IR and cholesterol and triglyceride levels respectively
as compared to the controls. A significantly positive correlation between TSH and HOMA-IR level was also observed in the hypothyroidism
group. Thyroid dysfunction leads to alterations in glucose and lipid metabolism which is an important risk factor for cardiovascular
diseases. The dyslipidemia and insulin resistance should be managed aggressively to reduce the impending risk. 相似文献

Elevated plasma Homocysteine level is an independent risk factor for age related (senile) cataract. Certain nutritional deficiencies,
in particular Folate, Vitamin B12, Vitamin B6 relate inversely with Homocysteine level. This study was undertaken to evaluate the plasma level of Vitamin B12, Folate, and Homocysteine of cataract patients and to study the interplay between them. Serum Homocysteine level is significantly
increased in cataract patients when compared with control (p< 0.001). There was a significant decrease in the level of Folate
as compared with control (p<0.001). There was a negative correlation between Homocysteine vs. Vitamin B12 (p<0.01) and Folate (p<0.01) in the Cataract patients. Our findings suggest that increased plasma Homocysteine level is associated
with decreased plasma levels of Folate and VitaminB12 in Cataract patients, which might have a possible role in the root cause of cataract pathogenesis. 相似文献

Homeostatic Model Assessment-Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR 2) in Mild Subclinical Hypothyroid Subjects

Despite various studies with conflicting results, the effect of thyroid hormones on lipids and insulin levels in dysthyroidism is of great interest. This case control study was aimed to perceive the existence of IR and dyslipidemia in mild subclinical hypothyroid subjects (TSH ≤ 9.9 µIU/ml) as compared to their age and gender matched euthyroid controls. Basic demographic information like height, weight was recorded. Serum samples of all the subjects were assayed for thyroid profile, lipid profile, blood glucose, HbA1C and insulin. BMI and insulin resistance was calculated. Compared to controls patients with mild subclinical hypothyroidism demonstrated hyperinsulinemia and dyslipidemia observed by the higher LDL cholesterol. A significantly positive correlation was observed for HOMA-IR with TSH and LDL cholesterol. Hence, even in the mild subclinical hypothyroid state assessment of thyroid function should be combined with estimation of plasma glucose, insulin and serum lipids to monitor and prevent its associated effects. 相似文献

Study was undertaken to assess thyroid status in hyperemesis gravidarum. 150 women pregnant with <20 weeks of gestation were
selected randomly and out of these 100 women presenting with hyperemesis formed study group while 50 normal pregnant women
served as controls. 53% of hyperemetic pregnant women were primigravidae and 82% of pregnant women presented with vomiting
at less than 12 weeks of gestation. Statistically significant, 22% of hyperemetic women had increased serum T3 levels while T4 levels were increased in 67% of women in study group as compared to 8% and 16% respectively in control group. TSH levels
were decreased in 18% of hyperemetic women as compared to 8% in control group with decrease in mean TSH level statistically
significant. 22% of hyperemetic women had electrolyte disturbances and 7% were ketonuric. In clinically euthyroid women, biochemically
altered thyroid function can attribute to vomiting and its prolongation to second trimester 相似文献

Graves’ disease (GD) is an organ-specific heterogenous autoimmune disorder associated with T-lymphocyte abnormality affecting
the thyroid, eyes and skin. GD is a multifactorial disease that develops as a result of complex interaction between genetic
susceptibility genes and environmental factors. It has been suggested that the Cytotoxic T lymphocytes associated molecule-4
(CTLA-4) is a genetic susceptibility candidate for GD. The present study was focused on A/G polymorphism at position 49 in
exon-1 of the CTLA-4 gene in 80 GD patients (GP) and 80 sex and age matched healthy individuals among South Indian (Madurai)
population. Serum concentrations of thyroid hormone (T4, T3 and TSH) were determined by using automated analyzer. The genomic DNA was isolated from the patient and control groups and
genotyping was performed using the polymerase chain reaction followed by restriction enzyme analysis using Bbv1. Significant difference (P < 0.001) was observed in the level of T3, T4 and TSH in GD patients and healthy individuals. The results revealed the CTLA-4 gene G/G genotype to be 32 (40%) in patients
and 26 (32.50%) in healthy individuals, A/G genotype to be 37 (46.25%) in patients and 25 (31.25%) in healthy individuals
and A/A genotype to be 11 (13.75%) in patients and 29 (36.25%) in healthy individuals. The calculated odds ratio (OR) in individuals
with mutant genotype (GG/AG) reveal 3.6 fold risk for GD (95% confidence interval = 1.6–7.8). The mutant “G” allele frequency
was observed to be 0.63 in GD patients and 0.48 in healthy individuals. Thus the present study demonstrates an association
between the CTLA-4 gene polymorphism and Graves’ disease. 相似文献

Contact interface properties are important in determining the performances of devices that are based on atomically thin two-dimensional (2D) materials, especially for those with short channels. Understanding the contact interface is therefore important to design better devices. Herein, we use scanning transmission electron microscopy, electron energy loss spectroscopy, and first-principles calculations to reveal the electronic structures within the metallic (1T′)-semiconducting (2H) MoTe2 coplanar phase boundary across a wide spectral range and correlate its properties to atomic structures. We find that the 2H-MoTe2 excitonic peaks cross the phase boundary into the 1T′ phase within a range of approximately 150 nm. The 1T′-MoTe2 crystal field can penetrate the boundary and extend into the 2H phase by approximately two unit-cells. The plasmonic oscillations exhibit strong angle dependence, that is a red-shift of π+σ (approximately 0.3–1.2 eV) occurs within 4 nm at 1T′/2H-MoTe2 boundaries with large tilt angles, but there is no shift at zero-tilted boundaries. These atomic-scale measurements reveal the structure–property relationships of the 1T′/2H-MoTe2 boundary, providing useful information for phase boundary engineering and device development based on 2D materials. 相似文献

Folate and cobalamin (Vitamin B12) are two essential micronutrients involved in one-carbon metabolism, which affects heart disease, neural tube defects and
cancer. Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase, the key enzyme involved in one carbon metabolism produces methyl tetrahydrofolate
from methylene tetrahydrofolate, which in turn donates methyl group to homocysteine to generate methionine. There exist two
common low function polymorphic variants of the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase gene involving nucleotides 677 C→T and
1298 A→C, which are associated with hyperhomocysteinemia. These polymorphisms are also linked with increased risk for certain
cancers such as breast cancer and at the same time providing a protective effect on colorectal cancer. In this case control
study, we have evaluated levels of folic acid, vitamin B12 and homocysteine in patients with colorectal cancer. Folate and homocysteine levels did not differ significantly between
the two groups; however an increasing trend was noticed with increase in homocysteine levels. Vitamin B12 levels were increased in cases compared to control group. 相似文献

Serum β2-microglubin (β2-m) levels were measured in oral carcinoma patients and compared with normal healthy controls. It was observed that there
was a significant rise in serum β2-microglobulin in oral carcinoma patients. Progressively higher values were obtained as the cancer advanced clinically. Therefore
the estimation of serum β2-microglobulin may be useful as one of a battery of tests in the assessment of oral carcinoma patients. 相似文献
