A study on 70 thyroid cancer patients at the K Hospital and Bach Mai Hospital got the results: thyroid cancer in females was 3.37 times more than in males. Mean age was 38.813.3 years. Incidence of distance metastases was 5/70 (7.1%). Histology type: Papillary cell carcinoma was 68.6%, follicular cell carcinoma is 12.8% and mixed papillary-follicular was 18.6%. Incidence of hypothyroidism was 100% (70/70) after 4 – 6 weeks total thyroidectomy. Thyroid remnants after total thyroidectomy was 5.253.01ml. Thyroid uptake of I-131 before treatment was 6.85.2%. The median serum concentration of thymoglobulin was 105.289.3 mg/ml

Children and healthy volunteers aged 1-60 years old. In the morning, blood cortisol in female subject aged 9-12 is higher than in male and the blood level of cortisol is highest at the age group of 21-40. In aldult volunteer, blood level is highest in morning and lowest in evening (only 50% vessus morning value). In the morning there is no difference between male – female in the same locality and the difference of value is no significant between 3 various location

The change of thyroide function was investigated in monitoring the change of total T3, T4 and TSH levels on 33 healthy children (20 male, 13 female of 9-15 years old of age), without thyroid diseases, living in Ha Noi. Results showed that on studied subjects, total T3 account for 2.09 +/- 0.43 mol/l, T4 111.26 +/- 24.70 nmol/l and TSH 2.28 +/- 0.73. There was no difference in T3, T4 and TSH levels in male and female subjects. Their T3, T4 and TSH levels were approximate to the ones of healthy adult subjects

Healthy normal adult volunteers without endocrinological diseases, aged 18-45 and menopausal subjects (>45 years old of age) diagnosed definitly as osteoporosis, Results showed: blood level of calcitonin in healthy adults, male subjects with n=30, median 75, min.30, max 125pg/ml female subjects n=30, median 30, min 10, max 50pg/ml respectively. Calcitonin in male is higher than in female (p<0,05). In female subjects: menopausal patients with osteoporosis, calcitonin level is lower than normal woman in reproductive age (p<0,01). Thyroglobuline level in healthy adult is 13,58 4,2 ng/ml, with no cosiderable difference between male and female

RIA and IRMA irradiation quantification technique was applicated for determining the concentration of triiodothyrosin (T3), thyroxin (T4), thyroid stimulating hormon (TSH) in blood of normal woman and pregnant woman. Results showed the significantly higher level of TSH and FT4 has not considerable difference in comparing with normal woman (no pregnancy). For verifying the thyroid disease in pregnant woman, TSH and FT4 should be quantified

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

Growth hormone (GH) concentration in the blood of healthy adult was measured by RIA (radioimmunoassay) method. The results are as follow: Concentration of GH in the blood of male is lower than in female(p<0.05). There is no significant difference in concentrations of GH at 8-10 AM and 6-9 PM.

A study on the healthy voluntary adults without acute or chronic thyroid diseases, with ages of 21-48 who lived in Hanoi, Hai phong and HoChi Minh city has shown that there were no differences of total T3, T4 and FT3, FT4, TSH in the morning, noon and afternoon and there were no significant difference of these between men and women in each region and between regions.

The authors used radioimmunoassay (RIA) method for determining AFP and CEA concentrations in the blood of healthy adults and cancer patients. The results are follow: 1. Serum AFP concentration in the blood of healthy adults is 2.67+/-1.21 IU/ml, n=81 (from 0 to 5 IU/ml) and CEA concentration is 3.95+/- 1.12ng/ml (from 0 to 6 ng/ml). 2. The serum AFP concentration is higher in patients with hepatic cirrhosis and chronic hepatitis and more higher in the group of patients with primary cancer of liver. In serum of patients with cancer of stomach, colorectal and bronchi, the CEA concentrations are significantly increased than healthy. So RIA method determining CEA, AFP concentrations in serum has an important value in diagnosing cancer of liver, gastrointestinal tract and bronchi.

T3, T4, TSH concentrations in the blood of people without endemic goiter living in the island endemic goiter area (A area) were not changed in comparing with health people in Ha Noi (B area). But T3, TSH concentrations increased and T4 decreased in people with and without goiter in A area to compare with healthy people in B area. These above changes were clear in people with goiter in the A area.
