Objective: Radioiodine therapy (RIT) is frequently utilized as an adjunctive treatment option for differentiated thyroid carcinoma following surgical intervention. The side effects of RIT are considered to emerge as a result of radioiodine accumulation in non-thyroidal tissues capable of iodine uptake. We aimed to evaluate the effects of RIT on auditory function.
Materials And Methods: Patients who had undergone total thyroidectomy and diagnosed to have differentiated thyroid carcinoma were analyzed. Those who were given RIT were included. Pure-tone audiometry and distortion product otoacoustic emission (DP-OAE) results were recorded along with patient demographics, RIT dose, and thyroid hormone profiles, both before and 3 months after RIT.
Results: Here, 63 patients were enrolled. Following RIT, audiometric thresholds at 0.25, 0.5, 4, and 8 kHz in addition to pure-tone average increased significantly; however, the change in DP-OAE results was not statistically significant at any frequency. The RIT dose had no effect on auditory function.
Conclusion: In this study, we found some deleterious effects of RIT on audiometric thresholds, with no significant effect on DP-OAE results.

Spatial organization of chromatin is essential for cellular functioning. However, the precise mechanisms governing sequence-dependent positioning of nucleosomes on DNA still remain unknown in detail. Existing algorithms, taking into account the sequence-dependent deformability of DNA and its interactions with the histone globular domains, predict rotational setting of only 65% of human nucleosomes mapped in vivo.

Purpose: This study explored the clinical characteristics of patients with tinnitus who responded to sound therapy and established a predictive model to evaluate the effectiveness of this therapy according to the clinical characteristics.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 991 subjective tinnitus patients who received compound sound therapy in the Department of Otolaryngology of the local hospital from November 2019 to January 2022.
Results: We found that tinnitus patients with different therapeutic effects had significant differences in the tinnitus side ( = 0.

Purpose: Neuroblastoma (NB) is a malignant embryonic tumour with poor prognosis and high mortality rate. The antigen gisialoganglioside (GD2), which is highly expressed on the surface of NB cells, is an effective target for therapy. This study aims to evaluate the GD2 expression with [Cu]Cu-NOTA-hu3F8 positron emission tomography (PET) imaging and explore the radioimmunotherapy (RIT) effect of [Lu]Lu-DOTA-hu3F8 in NB tumour models.
