The effect of the phorbol esther phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) on iodide uptake was studied in primary cultures of calf thyroid cells. PMA caused a dose- and time-dependent inhibition of thyrotropin (TSH), forskolin, and db-cAMP stimulation, indicating an effect distal to both TSH receptor and cAMP generation. No action was found on iodide efflux, indicating a selective inhibition of iodide uptake. This inhibition was observed even after 5 minutes of incubation, thus excluding a possible genomic action. Bisindolmaleimide (BS), a specific inhibitor of the protein kinase C (PKC) pathway, reverted the effect of PMA. A similar degree of inhibition of the Na+/K+ adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) and iodide uptake by PMA was found, thus suggesting a link between both parameters. These results indicate that the PKC pathway inhibits thyroid iodide uptake by an action distal to cAMP generation and probably because of a decrease in Na+/K+-ATPase activity.

Purpose: To compare remineralisation efficacy between silver diamine fluoride (SDF) combined with potassium iodide (KI) and sodium fluoride (NaF) varnish using hydroxyapatite (HAP) artificial white spot lesions (AWSLs) demineralisation model.
Materials And Methods: A total of 25 HAP disks was randomly divided into five groups (n = 5): baseline, AWSLs, deionized water (DW), SDF-KI or F-varnish. After AWSLs were developed, the specimen was treated with either deionized water, SDF-KI or F-varnish.

The antimicrobial properties of silver and silver complexes have been known in medicine since ancient times. However, limitations in stability and solubility have impaired medicinal chemistry and drug development research. With the advent of N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHC) as ligands, the development of synthesis methods for organometallic silver species of the type (NHC)AgX (where X = halide) has brought significant improvements, and the class of antimicrobial silver NHC complexes has emerged.

Background: Perchlorate, nitrate, and thiocyanate are well-known sodium/iodide symporter (NIS) inhibitors that disturb iodide uptake at the thyroid, affecting thyroid function. However, the associations between NIS inhibitor exposure and thyroid function are not well summarized in humans.
Objective: We aimed to summarize associations between NIS inhibitor exposure and thyroid function markers and to identify key information gaps for future studies.

This study aimed to investigate the bactericidal effect of naringenin (NG), a plant-derived flavonoid, and its synergistic effect with mild heat (MH) treatment at 50 °C in peptone water (PW) and ready-to-drink cold brew coffee (RDC). Among various NG concentrations (1-20 mM), 10 mM NG resulted in the greatest inactivation for Escherichia coli O157:H7, Salmonella Typhimurium, Listeria monocytogenes, and Staphylococcus aureus. In RDC, NG + MH treatment resulted in a 5-8-log reduction in all pathogens after 10 min, except for S.

This review highlights recent advancements and challenges in fluorescence-based chemical sensors for selective and sensitive detection of perchlorate, a persistent environmental pollutant and global concern due to its health and safety implications. Perchlorate is a highly persistent inorganic pollutant found in drinking water, soil, and air, with known endocrine-disruptive properties due to its interference with iodide uptake by the thyroid gland. Human exposure mainly occurs through contaminated water and food.
