AI Article Synopsis

  • The study aimed to explore the links between thyroid hormones, lifestyle choices, and autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) in order to identify contributing factors.
  • It included 517 patients with AITD and 549 without, analyzing demographic data, laboratory indicators, and using statistical methods to determine factors associated with AITD.
  • Findings revealed that high alcohol consumption and excessive iodine intake, along with specific thyroid hormone levels (TSH and FT3), are significantly associated with an increased risk of developing AITD.

Article Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study was to elucidate the relationships between thyroid hormones, lifestyle factors, biochemical markers, and autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD), thereby identifying the factors influencing the development of these diseases.

Methods: The study encompassed 517 patients with AITD and 549 patients with non-autoimmune thyroid disease. Demographic and clinical data were collected, and various laboratory indicators, including urinary iodine and thyroid hormones, were measured and compared between the groups. Lasso regression was employed to select the independent variables, while logistic regression analysis determined the factors associated with the development of AITD.

Results: The prevalence of drinking alcohol history, median urinary iodine, and TSH concentrations proved significantly greater in the AITD group compared to the control group, while FT3 levels demonstrated lower values within the AITD group (p<0.05). Furthermore, there was a significant difference in the distribution of iodine nutrition status between the two groups (p<0.05). Both univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses revealed significant associations among excessive iodine intake, drinking alcohol history, TSH, FT3, and the development of AITD.

Conclusions: Excessive iodine intake and drinking alcohol history are implicated in an augmented risk of developing AITD. The prevention of AITD may necessitate the regular monitoring of TSH and FT3 concentrations.

Background: Thyroid disorders are common endocrine conditions impacting multiple organs, including the reproductive system and often lead to sexual dysfunction. These effects can vary by gender; for example, women with hypothyroidism frequently experience reduced libido. Low thyroid hormone levels are also linked to vaginal dryness, causing discomfort, especially during intercourse.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) have been regarded as important environmental carcinogens that can cause lung cancer. However, the underlying epigenetic mechanism during PAHs-induced lung carcinogenesis has remained largely unknown. Previously, we screened some novel epigenetic regulatory genes during 3-methylcholanthrene (3-MCA)-induced lung carcinogenesis, including the potassium inwardly rectifying channel subfamily J member 15 (KCNJ15) gene.

Objective: Many hyperthyroid cats (15% to 50%) have concurrent chronic kidney disease (CKD) that is "masked" and will not become azotemic until after treatment. Previous studies reported that mild-to-moderate azotemic CKD after methimazole or thyroidectomy does not adversely affect survival. Our objective was to determine whether hyperthyroid cats with masked CKD rendered euthyroid with radioiodine (131I) have shorter survival than 131I-treated euthyroid cats that remain nonazotemic.

Parathyroids are the key regulators of calcium-phosphorus metabolism. By means of parathyroid hormone they respond to any changes in the serum level of calcium and phosphorus ions and determine the integrity of skeleton, affecting almost all systems and cells where calcium and phosphorus are involved in metabolism and/or signaling.Disorders of parathyroid function are associated with significant complications accompanying secondary hyperparathyroidism.
