The validity of SPECT measurement of iodine-131 (131I) concentration was tested in vitro in phantoms and in vivo by measuring bladder urine concentrations. Phantom studies comparing known and SPECT measured concentrations showed a good correlation for 131I (r = 0.98, s.e.e. = 20.94 counts/voxel) for phantoms of 25 to 127 cc and concentrations of 0.13 to 9.5 microCi/cc. The in vivo, in vitro correlation of 131I concentrations in the urine was also good (r = 0.98, s.e.e. = 0.677 microCi/cc). Quantitative SPECT was used to calculate the effective half-life and dosimetry of radioiodine in 12 sites of thyroid carcinoma in seven patients. SPECT was also used to determine the dosimetry of [131I]MIBG (metaiodobenzylguanidine) in two patients with carcinoid, two with neuroblastoma, and one with pheochromocytoma. The radiation dose for thyroid carcinoma metastases varied between 6.3 and 276.9 rad/mCi. The dose from MIBG varied between 13.4 and 57.8 rad/mCi. These results indicate the validity of quantitative SPECT for in vivo measurement of 131I and the need to measure the concentration of 131I in individual human tumor sites.

Objectives: To evaluate the characteristics related to oral health and salivary production in patients with Differentiated Thyroid Carcinoma (DTC) after radioiodine therapy (RIT).
Methods: Cross-sectional study, which included patients with DTC after ablative and/or adjuvant RIT. Patients underwent assessment of oral health conditions, subjective assessment of xerostomia and measurement of salivary flow.

The absence of anatomical landmarks in the whole body scan makes it challenging to precisely localize 131I uptake, which is used to treat patients with differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC). Recently, SPECT/CT studies have been utilized to increase the diagnostic sensitivity and specificity.

Purpose: The effect of methimazole withdrawl period (MWP) on the estimation of 24 hour-radioiodine thyroid uptake (131IU24h) from 99mTc-pertechnetate thyroid uptake (99mTcTU) remains unclear for patients with Graves disease (GD) . This study aims to investigate the feasibility and reliability of 99mTcTU-based 131IU24h estimation with different MWPs.
Methods: We enrolled 116 GD patients scheduled for 131I therapy at our hospital between April 2022 and April 2023.

The prevalent histological variant within differentiated thyroid carcinoma is papillary thyroid carcinoma, also known as PTC. The study investigated the clinical performance of serum hsa_circ_0001955 in predicting the prognosis of PTC treated with radical thyroidectomy and iodine 131 nail clearance. The relative expression of serum circ_0001955 of PTC patients was detected before and after accepting radical thyroidectomy combined with 131I thyroid remnant ablation by RT-qPCR.

By combining dark-field optical microscopy with an thermochemical aqueous solution system, we report a single-particle imaging strategy to investigate the host-guest interactions between covalent organic framework-300 (COF-300) as a representative COF host and a series of linear-chain fatty amines. The thermodynamic parameters, such as dissociation constant, Gibbs free energy changes, enthalpy changes, and entropy changes for the binding events within COF-300 are quantified. Correlation between the hydrophobicity of various amines and other data suggests that the mechanism of the host-guest bindings arises from the entropy-driven noncovalent interactions such as hydrogen bonds and van der Waals forces.
