Treatment of children with Hashimoto thyroiditis (HT) and particularly of those with coexistent diabetes mellitus type 1 (TIDM) and normal/mildly elevated serum TSH is controversial. The aim of the study was to evaluate the natural course of HT in children with TIDM compared with children with no other coexistent autoimmunity and investigate for possible predictive factors of thyroid function deterioration. Data from 96 children with HT, 32 with T1DM (23 girls, nine boys) mean (sd) age 10.6 (2.3)years, and 64 age and sex-matched without T1DΜ (46 girls, 18 boys), mean (sd) age 10.2 (2.9)years were evaluated retrospectively. They all had fT4 and TSH values within normal ranges and available data for at least threeyears' follow-up. During the follow-up period, 11 children (34.4%) with TIDM exhibited subclinical hypothyroidism and two children (6.2%) progressed to overt hypothyroidism compared to 12 (18.8%) and two (3.1%) among children without TIDM, respectively. Among children with HT, a higher percentage (40.6%) of children with T1DM progressed to subclinical or overt hypothyroidism, compared with children (21.9%) with similar characteristics but without TIDM or other coexistent autoimmunity. The annual conversion rate from euthyroidism to hypothyroidism in children with T1DM was significantly higher compared to sex and age-matched children without TIDM. Prospective randomized trials are needed to support the view of an earlier intervention therapy even in milder degrees of thyroid failure in these children.

Green zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) with Camellia sinensis extract complex are proved to be used in the treatment of the toxicity of monosodium glutamate (MSG) in the liver, kidney, and testis of rats. Therefore, the synthesized complex of green nanoparticles using green tea extract (GTE) was tested against the toxicity of MSG on the pancreas. Methods The glucose and insulin levels were estimated as well as some biochemical parameters for evaluating the antioxidant status of the pancreas tissue. The histopathological change of the pancreas also has been determined. Results It indicates the biomedical capability of ZnO NPs/GTE to act as potent antidiabetic through decreasing blood glucose and increasing serum insulin also, inhibition of lipid peroxidation and enhancement of the antioxidant parameters. Conclusions The ZnO NPs/GTE enhanced the pancreatic cell and Langerhans islets as well lowered the sugar levels and stimulated insulin.Objectives Hypothyroidism adversely affects pulmonary function, which may improve by thyroxine therapy. Limited studies about the effect of hypothyroidism on spirometric parameters in adult patients were conducted in Basra, south of Iraq. Moreover, the effect of thyroxine therapy on spirometric parameters was not covered by these studies. In this study, pulmonary function in adult's hypothyroid patients was evaluated by spirometry to detect any impairment, type of impairment, and to evaluate the effect of thyroxine therapy. Methods A comparative study was conducted in Al-Faiha Specialized Diabetes, Endocrine, and Metabolism Center (FDEMC) in Al-Faiha teaching hospital, Basrah, Iraq. Subjects are divided into four groups uncontrolled hypothyroid group (n=72), controlled hypothyroid group (n=60), newly diagnosed hypothyroid group (n=52), and control group (n=110). Spirometry was done to all subjects in sitting position, it's repeated at least three times and the best result was recorded. Results A significantly (p less then 0.05) less spirometric parameters and more abno
