Higher urinary bisphenol A concentration and excessive iodine intake are associated with nodular goiter and papillary thyroid carcinoma

چکیده
In the present study, we investigated whether bisphenol A (BPA) levels and excessive iodine intake were associated with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) and nodular goiter (NG). We determined total BPA concentrations (TBC) in paired serum and urine samples, and urinary iodine concentrations (UIC) in urine samples collected from PTC patients, NG patients, and healthy individuals, then compared BPA concentrations and UIC within and between each patient group. The results showed that there were no gender-specific differences in serum TBC and UIC in each group, and no differences across all patient groups. Urinary BPA concentrations (UBC) were higher in the NG and PTC groups compared with the control group. UBC showed gender-specific differences in the NG and PTC group. Furthermore, UIC were higher in the NG and PTC groups compared with the control group. Higher UBC and excessive iodine intake were risk factors for NG and PTC according to multivariate logistic regression analysis. There was a significant correlation between UBC and UIC in each group. These data suggested that higher UBC and excessive iodine intake are associated with NG and PTC. The metabolic and functional pathways between BPA and iodine are potentially linked to the pathogenesis and progression of NG and PTC.

The prevalence of nodular thyroid disease increases with aging, especially during sixth decade of the life, 5-10% of the general population have one or more palpable thyroid nodules. Nodular goiter is more common in persons living in areas with iodine deficiency. Cold thyroid nodules have been estimated 2.5 times more frequent in iodine areas in comparison with the iodine sufficient areas. ...

Argyrophilic nucleolar organizer regions (AgNORs) are loops of ribosomal DNA in the nucleolus and are associated with acidic proteins that have a high affinity for silver. In this study, the mean AgNOR counts were evaluated in specimens. Seventy three specimens were examined, including 16 normal thyroids, 19 nodular goiters, 21 follicular adenomas and 17 thyroid carcinomas (11 papillary, 4 foll...
متن کاملEnvironmental iodine intake affects the type of nonmalignant thyroid disease.
The relationship between the iodine intake level of a population and the occurrence of thyroid diseases is U-shaped with an increase in risk from both low and high iodine intakes. Developmental brain disorders and endemic goiter caused by severe iodine deficiency may seriously deteriorate overall health status and economic performance of a population. Severe iodine deficiency with a median 24-h...

BACKGROUND An increase in the prevalence of thyroid disease has been found with increasing iodine intake, since universal salt iodization (USI) was instituted throughout China in 1996. The aim of this study was to analyze the incidence of thyroid carcinoma (TC) before and after USI in Shenyang, a city of northeastern China. MATERIAL/METHODS The pathology reports were collected from patients w...
