Abstract

   Due to the prevalence of thyroid diseases among women, there is a need for a detailed study of the morphometric parameters of this endocrine organ in diverse age groups.   The aim of the study was to investigate the linear sizes and the thyroid gland shapes using sectional method and intravital sonography in women of mature age residing in St. Petersburg.   Material and methods. The ultrasound diagnostics was used to examine thyroid glands in 117 women of mature age. The exclusion criteria were neck surgery, thyroid nodules and endocrine system diseases. All women were divided into age groups according to the scheme of age periodization of human ontogenesis adopted in 1965. There were 42 thyroid glands obtained from the women died at the mature age, whose fatal outcome was not associated with the pathology of the endocrine system or the thyroid gland; they were allocated into a separate group.   Results. Significant differences were registered in the thickness of the left lobe of the thyroid gland in women of the first and second adulthood periods; there was also detected a significant predominance of the size and volume of the right lobe over the left one. Cluster analysis, relying on the thickness of the isthmus of the thyroid gland and the symmetry of its lobes, allows differentiating three shapes of the thyroid gland: “butterfly-shaped”, semilunar and indefinite.   Conclusion. The asymmetry of the thyroid lobes is a typical feature of this organ of the endocrine system at the studied age periods in mature women. When determining the shape of the thyroid gland, dissecting and morphometry are more informative options than ultrasound examination. To compare the findings on the shape of the thyroid gland obtained by various researchers, it is necessary to standardize the technique and apply a unified classification of the thyroid gland shapes.
圣彼得堡成年妇女的甲状腺参数
由于甲状腺疾病在女性中的流行,有必要对不同年龄组的这一内分泌器官的形态计量参数进行详细研究。本研究的目的是利用断层法和活体超声检查研究圣彼得堡成年妇女甲状腺的线性大小和形状。材料和方法。本文采用超声诊断法对117例成年妇女的甲状腺进行了检查。排除标准为颈部手术、甲状腺结节和内分泌系统疾病。根据1965年采用的人类个体发生年龄分期方案,将所有妇女分成年龄组。从成年死亡的妇女中获得42个甲状腺,其死亡结果与内分泌系统或甲状腺病理无关;他们被分到一个单独的小组。结果。在第一和第二成年期的女性中,甲状腺左叶的厚度有显著差异;我们还发现右脑叶的大小和体积明显大于左脑叶。聚类分析,依靠甲状腺峡部的厚度和其叶的对称性,可以区分甲状腺的三种形状:“蝴蝶形”,半月形和不定形。结论。在研究的成熟女性中,甲状腺叶的不对称是这一内分泌系统器官的典型特征。当确定甲状腺的形状时,解剖和形态测量比超声检查更有价值。为了比较不同研究者对甲状腺形状的发现,有必要对技术进行标准化,并对甲状腺形状进行统一的分类。
