Iodine-131 and Thyroid Function

Treatment’s results of hyperthyroid patients with Iodine-131 [Persian]

  Introduction: Radioiodine (131I) is an effective and inexpensive alternative to surgery in the treatment of thyroid hyperfunction. The debate today concerns the maximum and minimum ablative doses, and factors leading to hypothyroidism. Patients & Method: 1035 hyperthyroid patients treated with weight-adjusted ablative doses of 131I were retrospectively assessed for ...

Pi lot Study of Iodine - 131 –

Purpose: The survival for children with relapsed or metastatic neuroblastoma remains poor. More effective regimens with acceptable toxicity are required to improve prognosis. Iodine-131–metaiodobenzylguanidine (131I-MIBG) selectively targets radiation to catecholamine-producing cells, including neuroblastoma cells. A pilot study was performed to examine the feasibility of a novel regimen combin...

Zinc sulphate following the administration of iodine-131 on the regulation of thyroid function, in rats.

Hyperthyroidism in men is often treated with high doses of iodine-131 ((131)I), which may induce radiation side effects to patients and their environment. These therapeutic doses of (131)I could be decreased, if the (131)I uptake of the thyroid gland of the patients could be increased. Zinc sulphate has been considered to exercise a protective role by maintaining the cellular integrity of the t...

Synthesis and biodistribution study of a chlorotoxin derivative peptide labeled with 131- iodine for tumor therapy

Background: Chlorotoxin is a 36-amino acid peptide found in the venom of the Leiurus quinquestriatus which blocks small-conductance chloride channels. Chlorotoxin binds preferentially to glioma cells that allow development of new methods for the treatment and diagnosis of several types of cancer. Thus chlorotoxin derivative was labeled with 131I for further investigation. Materials and...
