Primary hryperparathyroidism is a relatively rare disease entity in Korea. It's characterized by severe skeletal and renal changes due to hypersecretion of parathyroid hormone, and rarely shows peptic ulceration, hypertension, pancreatitis and impaired mentality. Recently the determination of the serum calcium level has become a routine laboratory test and the awareness of primary hyperparathyroidism has been incerased, the disease is being diagnosed with increasing frequency. Primary hyperparathyroidism is most commonly caused by parathyroid adenoma and rarely hyperplasia, cancer of parathyroid glands. The authors operated sucessfully a case of primary parathyroid adenoma by diagnosed by nuclear medical diagnostic work-up. The patient had anterior neck mass(soft, non tender nodule) on physical examination, multiple goiter on thyroid ultrasonogram and scan. The parathyroid lesion was difficult to find preoperatively.

A blood parrot (Amphilophus citrinellus × Vieja melanurus) cichlid showing a flared left operculum was sent to the Fish Disease Clinic. The fish showed intermittently irregular ventilation and reddish soft swellings located at the ventral part of the left branchial cavity for one month. Other abnormal symptoms were not observed, and the appetite was normal. Only a putative diagnosis was conducted based on the history taking and external symptoms because the owner did not want an invasive biopsy or other potentially stressful examination of the fish. Therefore, considering the information available and the treatability, goiter (thyroid hyperplasia) was suspected as the top differential diagnosis, and the empirical treatment of administering iodide (0.03~0.015ppm) in environmental water was conducted. The treatment was discontinued for six months because the swelling was noticeably reduced. Body color became pale, but other abnormal signs were not observed.

서론 : 항갑상선 과산화효소 항체검사는 하시모토 갑상선염과 그레이브스병 같은 자가면역성 갑상선질환을 진단하기 위한 임상적 의의가 있는 검사이다. 이 검사는 2006년 말까지 외래에서 주로 검사가 이루어졌으나, 점차적으로 갑상선 질환 및 암에 관심이 높아지고 그 수요가 상승됨에 따라 2007년 1월 부터 건강검진 검사의 하나로 채택되어 시행되고 있다. 이에 일정기간 동안 본원에 의뢰된 건강검진결과를 토대로 검사의 양성률과 양성환자의 자가면역성 갑상선 질환의 비율을 조사함으로써 본 검사의 유용성을 알고자 하였다. 실험재료 및 방법 : 2007년 10월부터 2008년 3월까지 6개월간 본원에서 실행한 건강검진 환자 12,937명의 항갑상선 과산화효소 항체검사에 대한 결과를 토대로 검사의 양성률을 성별 및 연령별로 알아보고, 양성 환자 중 검진 이후 외래로 내원하여 갑상선 관련 질환으로 진단이 된 수진자를 추적 조사한 후 상병명별로 분류하여 자가면역성 갑상선질환의 비율을 나타내보았다. 결과 : 항갑상선 과산화효소 항체검사의 분석 결과 총 12,937건(남자 7,644명, 여자 5,293명) 중 1,135건(남자 503명, 여자 632명)의 양성률(8.77%)를 보였으며, 특히 50대에서 높은 양성률을 보였다. 양성결과가 나온 수진자 중 218명(19.2%)이 갑상선 관련 질환에 대한 진단을 받았으며 그 중 112명(9.8%)가 자가 면역성 갑상선질환이었다. 고찰 : 본 검사의 유용성 판단 여부는 항갑상선 과산화효소 항체검사의 양성결과가 나온 수진자 중 자가면역성 갑상선 질환으로 진단된 환자수로 볼 수 있으며, 자가면역성 갑상선 질환으로 진단된 비율은 9.8%의 비교적 높은 수치를 나타내었다. 하지만 이러한 결과치가 본 검사에 대한 관련 질환의 높은 특이성을 나타낸다고 볼 수 없지만 이 외의 실험 및 오차들을 고려했을 경우 Screening검사로서 유용성을 보인다고 말할 수 있겠다.

Objectives：There are various reports for incidence and risk factors of hypothyroidism after hemithyroidectomy for benign thyroid disease. The reported incidence rate varies from 5.0 to 41.9%. Moreover, there are few reports about this in Korea. So, our objective is to identify the incidence and possible factors contributing to hypothyroidism after hemithyroidectomy in Korea. Subjectives and Methods：We reviewed medical records of patients who underwent hemithyroidectomy between 1999 and 2007 years. We enrolled 80 patients. The incidence of postoperative hypothyroidism was based on thyrotropin values and clinical symptoms. And all patients were evaluated for age, gender, serum thyrotropin(TSH) levels, serum free T4, weight of resected thyroid tissue and associated thyroiditis. Results：Nine of 80 patients(11.3%) became biochemically hypothyroid postoperatively. Six of 9 hypothyroid patients were diagnosed within 2 months of operation. The mean preoperative TSH level was $2.12{\pm}0.96mIU/L$ in hypothyroid and significantly different from $1.33{\pm}0.77mIU/L$ in euthyroid patients(p<0.05). There were no significant differences in age, gender, weight of resected thyroid tissue, preoperative free T4 and associated thyroiditis. Conclusion：A minority of patients became hypothyroid after hemithyroidectomy. Hypothyroidism following hemithyroidectomy occurred in patients with higher preoperative TSH levels.. The screening test for postoperative hypothyroidism should be performed from month to year after operation.

Background/Objectives: Although thyroid lobectomy recently is considered as sufficient for low-risk papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC), completion thyroidectomy is required due to the insufficiency of the preoperative evaluation. The aim of this study was to investigate recurrence rate and disease free survival depending on the gross extrathyroidal extension (gETE) or the number of metastatic lymph node identified in patients with PTC. Materials & Methods: We assessed 3373 patients with PTC who underwent lobectomy at Seoul St. Mary's Hospital (Seoul, Korea) between January 2009 and December 2014. Clinicopathological characteristics and long-term surgical outcomes were retrospectively analyzed through complete chart reviews. The mean follow-up duration was 97.1 ± 21.4 months. Results: The rate of recurrence was higher in gETE group (1.8% vs. 6.0%, p=0.004), leading to decreased disease free survival in Kaplan-Meier analysis (log-rank p<0.001). N1 group (n=1389) was analyzed into two groups whether the number of positive nodes is more than 5 or less. For the group of the more metastatic nodes, the recurrence rate higher compared to the other group (3.0% vs. 9.3%, p<0.001). DFS was longer in the group that had lesser metastatic nodes (log-rank p<0.001). However, in terms of N1 group over 1cm (n=492), No statistical difference was observed according to the number of positive lymph nodes (4.5% vs. 9.1%, p=0.092) Conclusion: When it comes to node positive PTC, Despite the number of positive lymph nodes was over 5, follow-up with no further surgery can be an option.

Pharyngeal and laryngeal foreign bodies are common problem at ENT clinic. Removal of a foreign body is mostly simple with the manipulation of endoscope and various instruments. Rarely, migration of swallowed sharp foreign body makes complication. We describe a 74-year-old patient diagnosed with foreign body in larynx involving thyroid. In this case, we present this disease and the treatment course which has been successfully treated by surgical removal and conservative treatment. Furthermore, we discuss its symptoms, physical examinations through literature review.

The present study reviewed the effects of excess iodine intake on thyroid function and the incidence of thyroid disease and discussed the scientific basis for establishing a tolerable upper intake level (UL) of iodine for Koreans. ULs are defined as "the highest level of daily nutrient intake that is likely to pose no risk of adverse effects to almost all individuals in the general population." Koreans consume excess iodine from seaweed, and iodine intake is strongly influenced by seaweed consumption. However, no dose-response data derived from subjects consuming excess iodine frequently but not continuously during a lifetime are available. Therefore, the Korean DRI committee set the iodine UL to reduce the risk of adverse health effects by excess iodine intake for Koreans with distinctive seaweed-eating habits.

The radioimmunoassay of TSH (human thyrotropin) was performed by utilizing anti-h-TSH antibody and purified human thyrotropin supplied from Daiichi Radioisotope company in Japan. From Jan. 1978 through Aug. 1980 the serum concentration of TSH was measured on 41 cases with various thyroid diseases, and 22 normal persons. Among 41 cases, 9(22%) were primary hypothyroidism, 17(41%) Graves' disease, 8(20%), subacute or chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis, and 7(17%) nodular goiter. The results were as follows: 1) The normal values of serum TSH in 22 cases of control group were $4.2{\pm}1.7{\mu}U/ml(1.9-7.4{\mu}U/ml)$, which were within normal range in kit used in this study. 2) The serum TSH concentration in 9 cases with primary hypothroidism were $97.1{\pm}116.4{\mu}U/ml(14.0-300{\mu}U/ml)$, which were significantly elevated as compared with normal control values. 3) The serum TSH concentration in 17 cases with Graves' disease were $1.5{\pm}0.6{\mu}U/ml(1.0-2.5{\mu}U/ml)$, which were below than normal control. 4) The serum TSH concentration in 8 cases with subacute or chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis. revealed wide ranges ($1.6-220{\mu}U/ml$) according to the state of thyroid function. 5) The serum TSH values in 7 cases with nodular goiters were $2.3{\pm}2.0{\mu}U/ml$, which were strictly within normal levels. 6) The serum TSH levels were elevated during prolonged treatment with Tapazole (Methimazole) without serial check of the serum TSH concentration in Graves' disease, so the serial measurement of serum TSH concentration was considered of available index of thyroid states.
