Abstract:
Objective To study the relationship between cellular immunity in vivo,humoral immunity and different iodine intakes in patients with hashimoto thyroiditis(HT).Methods Seventy-six HT patients were divided into two groups acconding to the median of urine iodine (MUI =491.20 μ g/L):HT I group (urine iodine≥MUI) with 37 cases and HT Ⅱ group (urine iodine ＜ MUI) with 39 cases.And 49healthy persons were selected as control group.The level of free three triiodothyronine (FT3),free thyroxine (FT4),thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH),thyroglobulin antibody (TGAb),thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb),thyroid hormone receptor antibody ( TRAb ),tumor necrosis factor-alpha ( TNF- α )of all groups were detected.Results The levels of FT3 and FT4 in HT I group [ (2.67 ± 1.93 ),( 4.22 ± 3.77) pmol/L ]and HT Ⅱ group [ ( 3.19 ± 1.63 ),( 5.99 ± 3.97 ) pmol/L ] were significantly lower than those in control group [(5.30± 1.10),(16.50 ±2.70) pmol/L] (P ＜ 0.01).The levels of TNF-α in HT I group [(6.14 ± 1.83)ng/L] and HT Ⅱ group [ (6.09 ± 1.50) ng/L] were both obviously higher than that in control group [ ( 1.90 ±0.60) ng/L] (P ＜ 0.01 ).The levels of FT3 and FT4 were lower and TNF α was higher in HT I group than those in HT Ⅱ group,but there was no statistically significance (P ＞ 0.05 ).The positive rate of TPOAb,TGAb in HT I group [97.3％(36/37),81.1％(30/37)] and HT Ⅱ group [89.7％(35/39),74.4％(29/39)]were significantly higher than those in contnol group [ 18.4％(9/49),12.2％(6/49 ) ] (P ＜ 0.01 ).There was no statistically difference of the positive rate of TPOAb,TGAb and TRAb between HT I group and HT Ⅱ group (P ＞ 0.05).While the percentage of patients with high titer of TPOAb and TGAb in HT I group was higher than that in HT [Ⅱ group,and there was statistical difference(P ＜ 0.05 ).The level of TRAb in HT I group was higher than that in HT Ⅱ group [ ( 1.25 ± 0.14) mU/L vs.( 1.16 ± 0.21 ) mU/L ],but there was no significant difference (P ＞ 0.05).Correlated anlysis showed that FT3 was negatively correlated with TGAb and TPOAb (r =0.342,-0.397,P ＜0.05),and TNF-αwas positively correhted with TGAb and TPOAb (r =0.405,0.561,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions High iodine intake influences the autoimmune mechanism of HT patients.The iodine intake should be limited in HT patients.
