Lacrimal duct obstruction after radioiodine therapy: case report and treatment [PDF]
Iodotherapy represents the radioactive iodine therapy. The beta radiation emitted by radioactive iodine are particles that will be stored in the thyroid tissue destroying cancer cells that were left after surgery (thyroidectomy).

Anti-thyroid antibodies: methodological aspects and diagnostic significance [PDF]
Since the first publication, more than 40 years ago, laboratory tests for the presence of antibodies (Ab) to thyroid antigens (Ag) have played a pivotal position in the diagnosis of thyroid diseases.

The sodium iodide symporter: its pathophysiological and therapeutic implications [PDF]
SummaryThe sodium iodide symporter (NIS) is an intrinsic plasma membrane protein that mediates the active transport of iodide in the thyroid gland and a number of extrathyroidal tissues, in particular lactating mammary gland. Because of its crucial role in the ability of thyroid follicular cells to trap iodide, cloning of NIS opened an exciting and ...

Abstract There is increasing concern regarding pollutants disrupting the vertebrate thyroid hormone (TH) system, which is crucial for development. Thus, identification of TH system–disrupting chemicals (THSDCs) is an important requirement in the Organisation for Economic Co‐operation and Development (OECD) testing framework.

Thyroid disruptors are found in food, atmosphere, soil, and water. These contaminants interfere with the thyroid function through the impairment of thyroid hormone synthesis, plasma transport, peripheral metabolism, transport into the target cells, and ...

Cardiosphere-derived cells demonstrate metabolic flexibility that Is influenced by adhesion status [PDF]
Adult stem cells demonstrate metabolic flexibility that is regulated by cell adhesion status. The authors demonstrate that adherent cells primarily utilize glycolysis, whereas suspended cells rely on oxidative phosphorylation for their ATP needs.

PTTG and PBF repress the human sodium iodide symporter [PDF]
The ability of the thyroid to accumulate iodide provides the basis for radioiodine ablation of differentiated thyroid cancers and their metastases. Most thyroid tumours exhibit reduced iodide uptake, although the mechanisms accounting for this remain poorly understood.

Molecular theranostics: principles, challenges and controversies
Molecular theranostics offers a powerful tool to drive precision medicine in nuclear oncology. While theranostics is not a new principle in nuclear medicine, recent advances in instrumentation and radiopharmacy have driven a reinvigoration and a broader suite of applications.

Fibronectin-1 expression is increased in aggressive thyroid cancer and favors the migration and invasion of cancer cells [PDF]
n this study we analyzed the expression levels of markers of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in several papillary thyroid carcinomas (PTCs) and the relation with tumor genotypes and clinicopathological characteristics.

Anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC) lacks iodide uptake ability due to MAPK activation increasing the expression of the histone methyltransferase EZH2, which represses thyroid differentiation genes (TDGs) such as the sodium iodide symporter (NIS). Dual inhibition of MAPK (U0126) and EZH2 (EPZ6438/Tazemetostat) reverses this mechanism, thus restoring TDG ...
