The hemodynamic effects of thyroid hormones which is well established, affect myocardial contractility, heart rate, and myocardial oxygen consumption. The alterations in thyroid function test are frequently seen in patients with nonthyroidal illness and often correlate with the severity of the illness and the prosnosis. In this study, thyroid hormone changes were investigated in 20 patients who received cardiopulmonary bypass(CPB). All patients showed a state of biochemical euthyroidism preoperatively: The results were as follows : 1. Serum triiodothyronine(73) reached to its nadir(30.05 $\pm$ 17.5ng/dl, p(0.001) at 10 minutes after the start of CPB and remained low(p(0.05) throughout the study period. 2. Serum thyroxine(74) concentr tion slightly decreased after CPB, but maintained within normal range. 3. Serum free thyroxine(W4) concentration slightly increased after CPB, but maintained within normal range. 4. Serum thyroid stimulating hormone(TSH) concentration increased 10 minute after CPB, reached to its nadir(3.37 $\pm$ 0.81u1U/m1, p(0.001) at 2 hours after CPB. After then, serum TSH concentration decreased and reached its normal levels at 24 hours after CPB. 5. The patients whose postoperative recovery was uneventful(Group 1) had higher serum 73 levels than those who had postoperative complications(Group 2)(p<0.05). Group 1 showed elevating patterns of serum 73 in the fourth day after operation, whereas group 2 did not show such an elevating pattern. These findings are similar to the euthyroid sick syndrome seen in severely ill patients and indicate that patients undergoing open heart surgery have suppression of the pituitary-thyroid axis.

Congenital thyroid dysgenesis including agenesis, hypoplasia and ectopia is the predominant cause of permanent hypothyroidism. Of these, two thirds are due to an ectopic thyroid and about one third to complete thyroid agensis. From Jan. 1981 to Dec. 1992, authors experienced the 9 cases of congenital thyroid dysgenesis. Aberrent thyroid was 4 cases (44.4%), thyroid hemiagenesis with aberrent thyroid was 3 cases(33.3%) and thyroid hemiagenesis was 2 cases(22.2%). The most predominant site of aberrent thyroid is the base of tongue(85.7%). 7 patients(77.8%) revealed euthyroidism and among them, 4 patients showed elevated TSH level. Hypothyroidism was 2 patients (22.2%). 7 cases responded to thyroid suppressive therapy. 2 cases of lingual thyroid which did not responed to thyroid suppressive therapy underwent surgery and they have placed on thyroid suppressive therapy postoperatively.

The aim of this study was to investigate the egg development and the color change of Amphiprion melanopus, by the live food and thyroid hormone. After fertilizing, it took 168 h until hatching. The size of hatching larvae were $3.5{\pm}0.3$ mm, and some individuals had small yolk sac. As reaching the particular age, they underwent the color change (metamorphosis) - Days after hatching (DAH) 10: black, DAH 15~20: the 3 white stripes appear, DAH 30: the dorsal & the caudal white stripe begin to disappear. DAH 90: body color become red and orange, adult: cinnamon body color and a white stripe on head. - The group fed enriched Artemia with Tigriopus japonicus grew the faster than with only Artemia. The fin coloration of the one fed the only T. japonicus has a vivid red and orange color. $T_3$-treated group (4 ppm) grew the faster than the others (0, 2, 6 ppm). The size of the 6 ppm group was the smallest. The results suggest T. japonicus can be used as a supplement with rotifer and Artemia for the juvenile development and coloration. $T_3$ is considered to be involved in the metamorphosis and color formation of Amphipirion sp.

This study examined the impact of osteoporosis on thyroid hormone in health check-up examinees. The study subjects were 1,117 adults, 20 years and over (636 males, 481 females), who underwent a health package check-up at the general hospital G from January to December, 2011. After adjusting for factors, such as year and gender, the mean thyroid stimulating hormone increased with decreasing T-score (Normal[${\geq}-1g/cm^2$], $1.61{\pm}0.07{\mu}IU/m{\ell}$ and osteopenia[-1 >, ${\geq}-2.5g/cm^2$],$1.82{\pm}0.08{\mu}IU/m{\ell}$ and osteoporosis[< $-2.5g/cm^2$],$3.14{\pm}0.27{\mu}IU/m{\ell}$). After adjusting for factors, such as gender and FBS, the mean free thyroxine decreased with decreasing T-score(Normal, $1.30{\pm}0.01ng/d{\ell}$, and osteopenia, $1.22{\pm}0.01ng/d{\ell}$, and osteoporosis, $1.13{\pm}0.04ng/d{\ell}$). Conclusion. These results suggest that a decrease in T-score might increase the thyroid stimulating hormone and decrease the free thyroxine levelin euthyroid adults.

Objectives: The aims of this study were to know the prevalence of cognitive disorders in patients with thyroid cancer, and identify related variables to them. Methods: Subjects were consisted of fourty-two patients with thyroid cancer, who were admitted for radioiodine ablative therapy at 6-12 months after total thyroidectomy. The data were obtained from interviews about history and assessments of depression and cognitive function(Korean Version of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, MoCA-K). Results: 1) Among subjects, those with below 22 of total score of the MoCA-K were twenty-one(50.0%). 2) Upon age, education, Pre-radioiodine therapy thyroid stimulating hormone(TSH), there were statistically significant difference between subgroup with above 23 of the total MoCA-K score and those below 22. 3) The total scores of the MoCA-K in subjects had significant correlation with age, education, comorbidity, Pre-radioiodine therapy TSH, total score of the HDRS-17. Conclusions: Cognitive disorders were more prevalent among patients with thyroid cancer before radioiodine therapy. Therefore, further study should be needed to clarify the mechanism for the cognitive disorders in thyroid cancer. Furthermore, physicians should pay attention to the cognitive function and prepare preventative measures for cognitive disorder during management of thyroid cancer.

The parathyroid hormone plays a major role in the metabolism of calcium and phosphorus. In hypoparathyroidism the parathyroid glands are atrophied or absent associated with autoantibodies against parathyroid tissue. Pseudohypoparathyroidism is a metabolic disease caused by the disturbance in peripheral action of parathormone, but parathormone level is normal. In general, patients with pseudohypoparathyroidism have short stature, round face, brachydactylia, obesity, mental retardation, cataracts & ectopic calcifications on soft tissues. Dental manifestations are enamel hypoplasia, delayed eruption, blunting of root apex, hypodontia, pulp calcification, thickened lamina dura, excessive caries & malocclusion. In this case, intraoral examination showed enamel hypoplasia on the erupted permanent teeth & hypermobility on the remaining deciduous teeth. From the radiographic view severe dental anomalies were observed on canines and shortening and blunting of root apex was observed on mandibular incisors. Pathologic root resorption was also observed on deciduous teeth.
