609 SERUN LEVELS OF PROCOLLAGEN TYPE 1 CkRBOXY-TBRNINAL BXTENSION PEPTIDE IN NSTABOLIC BONE DISEASES. P.Na& S.Gonnelli,E.Maioli,D.Aqnusdei.M.B.Franci, C.Gl'iari. Institute of Internal Medicine, University of SiK, Italy. Serum levels of type 1 procollagencarboxy-terminal extension peptide (PICP) have been proposed as a new biochemical marker of bone formation. However, in patients with metabolic bone diseases, few data on the correlationbetween PICP and the biochemicalestimatesof bone turnover are available.We measured serum levels of PICP, alkaline phosphatase (Al.Ph.), osteocalcin (BGP), and urinary excretion of hydroxyproline (HOP/Cr) in: 101 patients (age 58.St7.9 SD) with established untreated postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMO); 27 patients (age 65+-10.3) with Paget’s bone disease (PBD); 10 young adult subjects (age 40.9?6.1)with low bone mass (YLM); and 7 patients (age 33.5t16.7) with osteogenesis imperfecta (01). Serum PICP levels were measured by a double antibody radioirnmunoassay (FARMOSDiagnostica, Finland) with an intra- and inter-assayvariations of 3.1% and 4.9% respectively. Results are reported in the table below :

COEXISTING PRIMARY HYPERPARATHYROIDISM AND THYROID TOXIC ADENCNA. F. Lorg. C. Di Cairano, F. D*Ubaldo. G. Miracapillo. M.Nobili, R, Falbo. Endocrinology unit, Institute of Internal Medicine, University of Siena, Italy. The coexistence of primary hyperparathyroidism and hyperthyroidism is a rare condition, only about fifty casea having been described in literature. The combination of thyroid toxic adenoma and parathyroid adenoma is even more rare, since only 15 cases have been reported thus far. We present two cases of thyroid toxic adenama and coexistent primary hyperparathyroidism. Both patients, a man aged 67 years and a 66 year-old woman, presented with thyratoxicosis ard asymptomatic hypercalcemia; both were found to have high level? of serum immunoreactive parathyroid hormone. Treatment with methimazole was effective in restoring euthyroidism, whereas hypercalcemia persisted until surgery was performed. The problems encountered in the diagnosis of both conditions are described in detail, with particuiar reference to the relatively frequent occurrence of hypercalcemia during the clinical course of thyrotoxicosis even in the absence of hyperparathyroidism. The question of the possible relationship between the two conditions is also considered.
