[Behavior of TBII (TSH receptor binding immunoglobulins) in multinodular struma].

The authors consider the behaviour of TBII (TSH receptor binding inhibitory immunoglobulins) in multinodular goiter, in relation to the functional status of the thyroid classified on the basis of T3, FT4, TSH IRMA. The samples were collected from 53 patients with normal T3, FT4 and TSH; 14 patients with T3 and FT4 in normal range and TSH less than 0.15 milli U/l; 8 patients with T3 and/or FT4 above the superior limits of normal range and TSH less than 0.15 milli U/l and from a control group of 10 patients with Grave's disease. TBII was measured by radioreceptor assay and the index resulted less than 15% in all the patients with eufunctioning or hyperfunctioning multinodular goiter. Mean value in biochemically hyperthyroid patients was 6.25% and in euthyroid patients was 5.69%. The difference was statistically not significant. Moreover, significantly elevated levels of TBII were found in 60% of patients with Grave's disease.

[Behavior of thyroglobulin after fine needle aspiration of the thyroid].

The authors report the behaviour of serum concentration of thyroglobulin (TG) after fine needle aspiration biopsy of the thyroid. Compared with the basal level, serum concentration of thyroglobulin increase of 70% three minutes and of 341% sixty minutes after this maneuver. The authors agree with those who believe an interval of 10-15 days between fine needle aspiration biopsy of the thyroid and determination of serum concentration of thyroglobulin is necessary.

[Surgical therapy of Basedow's disease].

The authors, in the light of the data of the literature, study the problem of the surgical treatment of Basedow disease. Besides those who suggest the total thyroidectomy as an ultimately curative intervention, most of surgeons prefer the subtotal thyroidectomy. However, the result of such operation is doubtful as to postoperative hypo- and hyperthyroidism, due to the operativeness of factors of not only biological, but also technical nature. In order to make the therapeutical result as satisfactory as possible, the literature suggests some particular surgical solutions, such as ligature of thyroid artery, limited subtotal thyroidectomy and modified subtotal thyroidectomy, which seem to obtain satisfactory results from the clinical standpoint.
