Tg,T<sub>4</sub> and T<sub>3</sub> showed a almost similar localization and immunohistochemical staining pattern: diffuse staining of follicular lumen （L）, granular staining of follicular border（G）, and foamy staining of follicular border （F）. The significant differences between the thyrotropinstimulated and non-stimulated groups were observed. The peripheral vacuoles of colloid were increased （P【0.05） in the former. Dominant staining patterns were G and F in the former. This simple organ culture system is a useful model for studying the functional aspects such as hormone biosynthesis in thyroid gland.展开更多

Few ultra-strvctural changes following TSE stimulation could be detected compared withthe control group. Parafollicular cells were detected after being cultured for 96h in the presence of TSH. For the first time, we used scanning electron micro-scope to study the ultrastructural changes of organ cultured thyroid gland.展开更多

The whole blood glutathione peroxidase (GSH-px) and catalase (CAT) activities, free radicals (FR) concentration, erythrocyte superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and molonaldehyde (MDA) concentration, the serum triiodothyronine (T 3)、thyroxine (T 4) and thyrotropin (TSH) were determined on the day of supplementation day-0 and day-30, respectively. It was showed that average iodine concentration in drinking water and diet were 3.82 μg·L -1 and 0.285mg·kg -1 , respectively, Diet selenium was 0.0498mg·kg -1 , Serum protein bound iodine(PBI) was 7.02 μg·100 mL, Blood selenium was 0.14 mg·L -1 , the schoolchildren′s goiter was 21.8%. It indicated that iodine and selenium were deficient in the investigated area. Whole blood GSH-px and CAT activities and serum T 3 concentration were significantly higher (P< 0.01 ), FR concentration and serum TSH were significantly lower(P<0.01) in the first three groups than that of the control, T 4 content in the first group was higher(P<0.05), T 4 was also higher (P>0.05) in the second group. and lower in the third group. The SOD and MDA in erythrocyte were not changed during the experimental period, The results also showed that GSH-px and CAT activities were increased, and FR decreased oberviously in the third group more than the other two groups, In addition, Thyroid hormone metabolism was more coincided with the physiologic status in the third group. the iodine and the selenium played an important role in the pathologic process of free radical metabolic disorder. selenium not only had the function of antioxidation by derectly scavenging free radicals, but also affected through GSH-px and CAT activities. iodine deficiency results in the Goiter, selenium deficiency aggravated iodine deficiency, Iodine and the selenium were dependent and restrained each other in the course of free radicals and thyroid hormone metabolism with a synergistic state.展开更多
