甲状腺功能亢进症患者头发微量元素研究

目的探讨甲状腺功能亢进症(甲亢)患者头发微量元素谱的变化及其与甲状腺功能状态的关系。方法对照组60例,甲亢组67例,测定头发微量元素[镁(Mg)、钙(Ca)、铬(Cr)、锰(Mn)、铁(Fe)、铜(Cu)、锌(Zn)、锶(Sr)、钼(Mo)、钡(Ba)]以及血清游离三碘甲状腺原氨酸(FT3)、游离四碘甲状腺原氨酸(FT4)水平,比较两组间各微量元素的差异;并将甲亢患者各微量元素与FT3、FT4分别进行相关分析。结果甲亢组头发Zn、Cu、Mg、Cr水平降低,Mn、Sr水平升高,与对照组比较差异有统计学意义(P<0.01或P<0.05),Fe、Ca、Mo、Ba水平差异无统计学意义;Zn、Mg与FT3、FT4水平呈负相关,Mn与FT3、FT4水平呈正相关。结论甲亢患者存在头发微量元素谱的变化,微量元素与甲状腺功能状态相互关联,微量元素在甲亢的病理生理机制中可能起着重要作用。

Measurement of trace elements in hairs in patients with hyperthyroidism

Objective To investigate the changes of trace elements score in hairs in patients with hyperthyroidism and its relationship with thyroid function. Methods The trace elements(Mg,Ca,Cr,Mn,Fe,Cu,Zn,Sr,Mo,Ba)in hairs and serum thyroid hormones(FT_3 and FT_4)were measured in control group (60 cases) and hyperthyroidism group (67 cases). Results The levels of trace elements Zn,Cu,Mg,Cr were significantly lower (P<0.01 or P<0.05),Mn,Sr were significantly higher (P<0.01 or P<0.05),and Fe,Ca,Mo and Ba were not significantly changes in the hyperthyroidism group than those in control group. Zn and Mg were related negatively to FT_3,FT_4,and Mn was related positively to FT_3 and FT_4. Conclusion The trace elements score is changed in hairs in patients with hyperthyroidism. The trace elements may influence the thyroid function each other,and play an important role in the pathophysiology of the hyperthyroidism.
