Secretion Rates

ABSTRACT The secretion of iodothyronines from the normal human thyroid gland was assessed by radioimmunoassay analyses of the concentrations of thyroxine (T4), 3,5,3′-triiodothyronine (T3) and 3,3′,5′-triiodothyronine (reverse T3, rT3) in thyroid venous and peripheral venous blood. The subjects studied were euthyroid patients undergoing parathyroid surgery. Measurements were carried out both under apparently normal conditions, following peroral T3 pre-treatment, and before and after acute administration of TSH into a thyroid artery. In the control subjects, significant gradients between thyroid venous and peripheral venous concentrations were recorded both for T4, T3 and rT3, suggesting that all three iodothyronines are secreted by the normal human thyroid. T3 pre-treatment seemed to reduce this secretion, and acute administration of TSH promoted rapid, marked, and concomitant increments in the thyroid venous concentrations of all three iodothyronines. Hence, it appears that not only T4 but also T3 and rT3 are secreted by the normal human thyroid gland, and that TSH stimulates the secretion of all three iodothyronines. On the other hand, calculations of the relative secretion rates yielded the relation T4:T3:rT3 as 85:9:1. This indicates that, in euthyroid subjects, most of T3, and almost all of rT3, is produced by extrathyroidal conversion of T4 and not by direct thyroidal secretion.

Introduction: Hyperfunctional dysfunction is one of the most common functional dysphonia, cha-racterized by voice insufficiency with excessive tightening of the muscles inside and outside the larynx during phonation. To make the treatment process more effective, new ways of rehabilitation are constantly being sought and developed. The aim of this work is to evaluate the effectiveness of laryngotaping - an innovative method of taping around the larynx and neck muscles. Material and method: 10 patients with diagnosed hyperfunctional dysphonia participated in the study. Using the kinesiotaping principles, for 7 days, the suprahyoid and infrahyoid muscles, ster-nocleidomastoid muscles as well as the thyroid cartilage were taped. Before and after the therapy, the patients completed the VHI voice self-evaluation questionnaire. The evaluation of the larynx according to the L. Mathienson scale was also assessed palpation. Results: Analyzing the results of the VHI questionnaire and evaluation of palpation evaluation of the larynx before and after the therapy, statistically significant differences were observed. The results on average decreased by half, which is the desired effect of therapy. Discussion: The results confirm the positive impact of kinesiotaping around the larynx. However, more research is needed on a larger group of patients to fully evaluate the therapeutic effect. Conclusions: 1. Laryngotaping is an effective way to normalize muscle tone, and thus to improve the quality of the voice. 2. The presented studies require continuation, however, positive reception of the introduced therapy by patients encourages further research on a larger group of patients.
