Radioactive iodine therapy for thyroid cancer coexisting with Hashimoto's thyroiditis: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objectives: To investigate the clinical character of differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) coexisting with Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) and provide state-of-art evidence for personalized radioactive iodine-131 therapy (RAIT) for patients coexisting with HT.

Methods: From January 2000 to January 2023, PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science databases were searched for relevant original articles that published in English on the RAIT efficacy for DTC with HT. RevMan 5.

Salivary gland function in women with Hashimoto's thyroiditis without xerostomia and the correlation with auto-thyroid antibodies.

Background:  Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) may cause salivary dysfunction in patients resulting in xerostomia, but little is known about changes in salivary function in patients with no obvious dry mouth symptoms. In this study we assessed salivary function in women with HT, who had not experienced xerostomia and, for the first time, evaluated the effects of thyroid auto-antibodies on this function.: METHODS:  Sixty consecutive subjects were included, comprising 32 women (mean age, 36 ± 12 years) diagnosed with HT accompanied by differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) in the study group (HT group), along with a control group (DTC group) of 28 women (mean age, 40 ± 12 years) diagnosed with DTC only.

Immunohistochemical basigin expression level in thyroid cancer tissues.

Background: Thyroid cancer (TC) is the most common endocrine malignancy; basigin (also known as BSG) plays a crucial role in tumor cell invasion, metastasis, and angiogenesis. This study was designed to identify the change of BSG expression in TC and its possible potential mechanism.

Methods: The BSG expression levels in TC were demonstrated using data collected from in-house immunohistochemical (IHC), RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq), microarrays, and literatures.

Identification of Serum Biomarkers for Ischemic Penumbra by iTRAQ-Based Quantitative Proteomics Analysis.

Purpose: Ischemic penumbra is the main therapeutic target for acute ischemic stroke. The aim in this study is to investigate the potential serum biomarkers of penumbra that could fulfill a complementary role in the acute stroke clinical decision-making process.

Experimental Design: An established focal cerebral ischemia model is applied in rats.

The incidence and risk factors for central lymph node metastasis in cN0 papillary thyroid microcarcinoma: a meta-analysis.

Although there have been many studies identifying clinical and pathologic factors that may predict central lymph node metastases (CLNM) in papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC) patients without clinically cervical lymph node metastasis (cN0), the results were inconsistent. And whether prophylactic central lymph node dissection (pCLND) should be performed in cN0 PTMC remains controversial. The EMBASE, PubMed, MEDLINE and the Cochrane Library were searched until Oct 2015 to identify relevant studies.
