[Thymic hyperplasia in a patient with Graves' disease].
Benign thymic hyperplasia (TH) is a known feature of hyperthyroidism. In most cases, thymic enlargement is minimal; however, this syndrome may occasionally appear as an appreciable anterior mediastinal mass. Recognition of the benign nature of TH and its regression following treatment of the hyperthyroidism is important to prevent unnecessary surgical procedures. We present a case of TH associated with hyperthyroidism due to Graves' disease.

[The effect of combined therapy with the use of thymalin and piracetam on the level of middle-molecule peptides in the blood and on the lipid peroxidation activity in patients with diffuse toxic goiter].
The content of medium-weight molecular peptides (MMP), lipid peroxidation (LPO) activity, the profile of blood thyroid hormones, and radioactive iodine absorption by the thyroid were determined in 104 patients with light, moderate and grave diffuse toxic goiter (DTG). The content of MMP in the blood correlated with the gravity of DTG and thus may serve an additional test for its determination. Depending on the treatment 66 patients with DTG of medium gravity were distributed into 5 groups: group I included patients given mercazolyl, group II patients on lithium carbonate, group III patients who received mercazolyl and thymalin, group IV patients on mercazolyl and piracetam, and group V included patients given mercazolyl, thymalin and piracetam. A study was made of the blood content of MMP and LPO activity before therapy and after euthyroidism attainment. The treatment with the use of mercazolyl, thymalin and piracetam was found to produce a beneficial effect on the parameters under study and the clinical course of DTG.
