High risk factors, molecular features and clinical management for radioactive iodine-refractory differentiated thyroid carcinoma.

Front Oncol

August 2025

Department of Pathology, Institute of Clinical Pathology, Frontiers Science Center for Disease-related Molecular Network, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu, Sichuan, China.

Despite the generally favorable prognosis of differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) following surgery and radioactive iodine (RAI) therapy, approximately 10% of cases eventually develop resistance to RAI. This condition, known as radioiodine-refractory differentiated thyroid carcinoma (RAIR-DTC), is associated with a poor prognosis, with a 10-year survival rate of only 10% from the time of metastasis detection. The limited availability of safe and effective alternative treatments poses a significant challenge to clinical management.

Purpose: Autoimmune thyroiditis (AIT) is the most common organ-specific autoimmune disease, and its pathogenesis is closely related to the inflammatory microenvironment driven by immune cell penetration. The role of the newly proposed concept of PANoptosis in immune-related diseases is gradually being revealed. However, there is currently a lack of reports on PANoptosis in AIT.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate comorbidity patterns and potential pathogenic mechanisms in patients with Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT).

Methods: Patients with HT who visited the outpatient clinic of the Thyroid Department at Dongzhimen Hospital, Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, between June 2021 and December 2024 were included. Association rule analysis and logistic regression analysis were performed using SPSS 25.

Background Subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) in pregnancy poses serious maternal and fetal risks, including miscarriage, gestational diabetes, and neurodevelopmental impairment. Despite clear international guidelines like those from the American Thyroid Association (ATA), global practice remains inconsistent. In Saudi Arabia, where SCH prevalence among pregnant women is notably high (13%), there is limited national data on how closely physicians follow these guidelines.

Involvement of the PI3K/Nrf2 Pathway in Arsenic-Induced Endocrine and Thyroid Toxicity in Rats.

J Appl Toxicol

September 2025

School of Public Health, Key Laboratory of Special Environmental and Health Research, Xinjiang Medical University, Urumqi, China.

Humans' exposure to arsenic (As) has been associated with the development of various diseases. Some health effects may be mediated by arsenic-induced toxicity to the thyroid and endocrine systems, but its underlying mechanisms remain unclear. The overall aim of our study was focused on using sodium arsenite (NaAsO)-exposed rats to investigate the involvement of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) and transcription factor NF-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) pathways in toxicity to the thyroid and endocrine systems.
