Graves Disease*

Graves' disease (GD) and Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) are both autoimmune disorders and are triggered by interactions between genetic and environmental factors. GBS in patients who suffer from other autoimmune diseases is rarely reported, and the development of atypical GBS with cranial nerve involvement in a patient with GD has never been previously reported. Herein, we report a patient with GD and a rare form of pharyngo-cervico-brachial variety of GBS.

Studied on 360 patients Basedow in Endocrinology Centre of Hoa Binh province from 1/10/1998-1/10/2000. Results of the study were used by biological statistic with the software SPSS 10.0. Results showed that: Among all samples, 78.89% of patients were effectively treated. All the symptoms (except proptosis) and basic metabolic data were improved. ECG and thyroid ultrasound examination results were also significantly improved. However, the rate of compliance was relatively low. Only 26.11% of patients completed all 3 stages of the clinical trial

175 Basedow’s disease patients (45 males and 170 females; mean age: 44.48 ± 8.89) were treated by I-131 at Bach Mai hospital and Military Hospital 103. Total T3 level in serum was 6.45 ± 2.81 nmol/l (n=146) and total T4 level was 243.58 ± 72.34 nmol/l (n=143). Before treatment T3 and T4 level increased abnormaly comparing with healthy people. By 4 months of treatment, T3 level was 2.15 ± 0.78 nmol/l and T4 level was 120.35 ± 36.81nmol/l, FT4 level was 15.67 ± 6.51pmol/l. With average dose of 6.52 ± 1.64 mCi I-131, most of patients had normalized total T3, T4 level

For the past 60 years, there have been millions with hyperthyroidism and Basedow patients treated successfully by radioiodine (I-131). The number of patients with hyperthyroidism and Basedow treated by I-131 was the same as this received operations. The radioiodine therapy was a safe, effective and economic method with easy to implement that should be selected among methods of treatment of hyperthyroidism and Basedow

During 3 years of 1994-1996, 87 patients with basedow were treated and monitored regularly in 3rd, 6th, 12nd and 24th month radioiodine I 131 in the nuclear medicine department of Viet Tiep hospital. The data of age, gender, rounds of the treatment were analysed, evaluated and compared with these in Hue Central hospital, Bach Mai hospital and Friendship hospital. The results have shown that 87.7% patients were disease free after 1 round of the treatment.

The thyroid volume and ultrasonic image of 356 healthy adults and 133 Basedow patients were assessed. The results are as follow: Thyroid gland of Basedow patients has low, diffusive echo and no steady border... These volumes are bigger than that of healthy adults (39.18ml+/-19.02ml, n=133 vs 12.06+/-4.07, n=356), p<0.0001.

An evaluation of image and weight of the thyroid in patients with the basedow by scintigraphy has shown that there were no significant changes of length of right and left lobe of thyroid between age groups of patients with basedow. The weight of thyroid calculated as formula of Goodwill were more than these calculated as formula of Okubo and these in men were more than in women. The size and weight of thyroid in patients with basedow were more than these in normal people.
