Dichlorooctylisothiazolinone (DCOIT), which is one of the isothiazolinone preservatives, is applied to water-based adhesives in food packaging. This study investigated the effects of DCOIT on the embryonic growth and thyroid endocrine system using zebrafish. Organism-level (hatchability, survival, and growth), hormone-level (triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4)), gene-level (genes associated with the hypothalamus-pituitary-thyroid axis), and microRNA-level (microRNAs related to thyroid endocrine disruption) endpoints were measured. Significant rise in embryonic coagulation and delayed hatching (≥0.3 μg/L), and decreased larval length (30 μg/L) were observed in fish exposed to DCOIT. Lower contents of T3 and T4 were observed after exposure to DCOIT, which was accompanied by the upregulation of genes associated with the thyrotropin releasing hormone and thyroid stimulating hormone and the downregulation of genes associated with the thyroid hormone receptors and deiodination. Strong influence of DCOIT on dre-miR-193b and -499 may be a critical mechanism to inhibit transcription of trαa and trβ, which in turn may affect thyroid hormones and development of the organism. Our findings suggest that hypothyroidism induced by the exposure to DCOIT is potentially associated with genetic and microRNA-level changes, which eventually affects development.

Multi-institutional development and testing of attention-enhanced deep learning segmentation of thyroid nodules on ultrasound.
Int J Comput Assist Radiol Surg

Department of Radiology, University of Chicago, Chicago, IL, USA.
Purpose: Thyroid nodules are common, and ultrasound-based risk stratification using ACR's TIRADS classification is a key step in predicting nodule pathology. Determining thyroid nodule contours is necessary for the calculation of TIRADS scores and can also be used in the development of machine learning nodule diagnosis systems. This paper presents the development, validation, and multi-institutional independent testing of a machine learning system for the automatic segmentation of thyroid nodules on ultrasound.

Background: Thyroid carcinoma (TC), the most prevalent endocrine cancer worldwide, has become progressively more common, especially in women. Most TCs are epithelial-derived differentiated TCs, specifically papillary thyroid cancer (PTC). Although there are many therapeutic drugs available, curing TC is a difficult task.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a prevalent endocrine and metabolic disorder affecting 6-20% of women of childbearing age worldwide. Immune cell imbalance and dysregulation of inflammatory factors can lead to systematic low-grade chronic inflammation (SLCI), which plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of PCOS. A significant higher infiltration of immune cells such as macrophages and lymphocytes and pro-inflammatory factors IL-6 and TNF-α has been detected in PCOS organ systems, impacting not only the female reproductive system but also other organs such as the cardiovascular, intestine, liver, thyroid, brain and other organs.

Division of Endocrinology and Metabolism, Laboratory of Diabetes and Metabolism Research, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu, China.
Background: The incidence of thyroid cancer has increased annually, but the risk factors for thyroid cancer are still unclear. In this umbrella review, we aimed to identify associations between nongenetic risk factors and thyroid cancer incidence, and assess the quality and validity of the evidence.
Methods: PubMed, Embase and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews were searched to identify related meta-analyses or systematic reviews of epidemiological studies.

Background And Aims: Acquired resistance to thyroid hormone appears to exist in the general population. We aimed to evaluate the association between indices of thyroid hormone sensitivity and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and made stratified analyses by diabetic status.
Methods: We included 26,413 participants from a health screening program and 8,246 hospitalized patients with type 2 diabetes.
