Background: Peroxidase content has been recently evaluated in normal thyroid and in different thyroid disorders by biochemical, histochemical, ultrastructural and immunocytochemical methods Nevertheless immunocytochemical detection of thyroid peroxidase in thyroid samples conventionally processed for histology hes never been done using a commercially available antibody, neither its correlation with the biochemical activity on adjacent samples.
Methods: In this study we have analyzed normal thyroid tissue (3 patients), follicular adenoma (2 patients) and multinodular goiter (2 patients) conventionally processed for histology and stiined by immunocytochemistry (Avidin Biotin System) using a polyclonal (rabbit) antibody for horseradish peroxidase (Serotec). Biochemical assay was performed on adjacent samples according to Hosoya method.
Results: Normal thyroid showed peroxidase immunoresectivity in the majority of follicular celis; neoplastic cells of adenomas were variably stained. Biochemical assay showed positive correlation with ICC ranging from 20.4 mg/mg/prot a in multinodular goiter to 42.12 in normal thyroid, up to 122 of follicular adenoma.
Conclusions: Peroxidase content in the thyroid gland may be of clinical interest in several thyroid diseases, and in this study we have demonstrated that thyroid peroxidase can be detected by ICC in routinely processed thyroid samples using a commercially available antibody.

Background: Postpartum depression (PPD) is a prevalent mental health issue with significant impacts on mothers and families. Exploring reliable predictors is crucial for the early and accurate prediction of PPD, which remains challenging.
Objective: This study aimed to comprehensively collect variables from multiple aspects, develop and validate machine learning models to achieve precise prediction of PPD, and interpret the model to reveal clinical implications.
Thyroid Hormone Activation Regulates the Crosstalk between Breast Cancer and Mesenchymal Stem Cells.

Background: Thyroid Hormones (THs) critically impact human cancer. Although endowed with both tumor-promoting and inhibiting effects in different cancer types, excess of THs has been linked to enhanced tumor growth and progression. Breast cancer depends on the interaction between bulk tumor cells and the surrounding microenvironment in which mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) exert powerful pro-tumorigenic activities.

Background: The Mediterranean diet (MedD) exerts anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant effects that are beneficial in autoimmune thyroid diseases (ATD). Recently, a gluten-free diet (GFD) has been proposed for non-celiac patients with Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT), but its usefulness is under debate. The present pilot study evaluates the effects of these two dietary regimes, with a focus on redox homeostasis, in HT.

Objectives: Thermal ablation (TA) is an alternative to lobectomy for thyroid nodules (TNs). While it is believed that thyroid function remains stable after TA for cystic TNs, the impact of TA on solid TNs, especially the large ones, is less explored. This study investigates changes in thyroid hormones after TA in patients with solid-predominant TNs and identifies potential risk factors for thyroid dysfunction after TA.

Purpose: The thyroid gland is one of the most vital endocrine organs. It is responsible for the synthesis and secretion of hormones principally triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4). These hormones play a significant role in the functions and the metabolism of the body.
