[Effect of lead on thyroid function].

Lead in organic and inorganic compounds is a health risk factor leading after high-grade exposure to poisoning. It can accumulate in the organism and exert toxic effects, especially on the haemopoietic system and nervous system. Its action includes damage to cell membranes and disorders of the oxidoreductive processes in the cells. Hypothyroidism occurring in subjects with occupational exposure to lead may evidence a negative effect of the element on thyroid function.

[Clinical trial of the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis with TFX (thymus factor X)].

The results of rheumatoid arthritis treatment with the preparation TFX (extract of calf thymus) are reported. The drug was given to 11 patients with intense inflammatory process treated previously in typical fashion without evident improvement and in whom immunological studies demonstrated disturbances of cell-mediated and humoral response. The duration of treatment and observation was 6 months. In 9 patients clinical improvement was achieved. We observed no correlation between clinical improvement and immunological indices besides statistically significant changes of skin tests. The results (assessment of health state, laboratory investigations) encourage to TFX use in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.
