چکیده

A simple method is described for the simultaneous determinations of thyroxine and the effective thyroxine ratio (ETR) using a single kit of Thyopac-4. Thyopac ETR values obtained were 1.00 +/- 0.03 for normal subjects; 1.22 +/- 0.11 for hyperthyroid; 0.87 +/- 0.04 for hypothyroid; and 1.02 +/- 0.05 for pregnant women. Cases with TBG deficiency and the nephrotic syndrome indicated normal values. The value (x) was correlated significantly (gamma = + 0.961) with the free Thyopac index (y), representing a regression equation of y = 71.7x(2) - 88.4x + 24.2. Thyopac ETR was shown to be useful in differentiating normal thyroid states from abnormal, irrespective of changes in T(4)-binding globulin (TBG). Further, the T(4) value obtained simultaneously made it possible to detect changes in the TBG level by noting an inconsistent value for the effective thyroxine ratio.

Concentration of thyroxine-binding globulin: value of direct assay.

The concentration of thyroxine-binding globulin (TBG) in the serum can now be measured by direct assays that are simple and inexpensive. Comparison of a direct measurement of TBG concentration with a widely used indirect method (Thyopac-3) showed that the indirect method was inaccurate when TBG concentrations were high. This will result in an increase in the derived free thyroxine index (FTI), ...

Positive interference in Radioimmunoassay determination of serum total T3

Introduction: Determination of thyrotropin, total and free thyroxine and triiodothyronine are widely used as diagnostic methods for thyroid function evaluation. There have been numerous reports of interferences in thyroid hormone immunoassays. Herein, a prominent positive interference is reported for a radioimmunoassay kit of total triiodothyronine. Materials and Methods: In this study, a total...

Assessment of a method for measuring serum thyroxine by radioimmunoassay, with use of polyethylene glycol precipitation.

We assessed the efficacy of a new thyroxine radioimmunoassay kit (Abott) in which polyethylene glycol is used to separate bound from free hormone. Mean serum thyroxine was 88 +/- 15 (+/-SD) microgram/liter for 96 normal persons. Results for hypothyroid and hyperthyroid persons were clearly separated from those for normal individuals. Women taking oral contraceptive preparations showed variable ...

Parametric Assessment of a Novel Geothermal Multi-Generation Equipped with Dual-Organic Rankine Liquefied Natural Gas Regasification Cycle Using Advanced Exergy and Exergoeconomic-Based Analyses

This research is concerned with the design and analysis of a geothermal based multi-generation system by applying both conventional and advanced exergy and exergoeconomic concepts. The proposed energy system consists of a dual-organic Rankine cycle (ORC) to vaporize liquefied natural gas (LNG) and produce electricity. A proton exchange membrane(PEM) electrolyzer is employed to produce hydrogen ...
