It is remain unclear whether the NK cell disfunction is a consequence of GD.Based on the investigators' previous study, the investigators plan to monitor NK cell function in participants in the whole course of disease, analyze the association with relevant factors, such as thyroid function, immune state or treatment,to find out influences of thyroid hormones and thyroid receptor antibody affecting the function of NK cell. The investigators will reveal whether the disfunction of NK cell secondary to GD abnormal thyroid function and/or immune disorders, and realize the mechanics.
