Abstract
Iodine nutrition plays a central role in the normal physiological function of the thyroid gland, and it is a major factor in thyroid hormone synthesis. A meta-analysis was used to measure the efficacy of oral iodine-131 combined with nutritional management in thyroid cancer patients after surgery. Computer searches were conducted on various databases, with the search time limited to January 2011 to December 2021, and the literature retrieved was limited to randomized controlled trials. Data extraction and quality evaluation were performed for the included literature, and meta-analysis was conducted by RevMan 5.3 software. A total of 9 literatures were obtained, all in English, with a sample size of 10,219 cases, containing 6,845 cases in the study group (oral iodine-131 + nutritional management) together with 3,374 cases in the control group (oral iodine-131 alone). The study group received oral administration of iodine-131 and nutritional management (low-iodine diet). The outcomes of the meta-analysis revealed that the clinical symptoms of thyroid cancer patients were improved after oral administration of iodine-131 after surgery. No statistical differences could be observed in the incidence of adverse reactions, recurrence rate, or metastasis rate of outcome indicators. To sum up, oral administration of iodine-131 combined with nutritional management has certain clinical effects in patients with thyroid cancer after surgery, but due to the limited literature included and low data quality, the conclusions of this study still need to be further verified.
期刊介绍:
Current Topics in Nutraceutical Research is an international, interdisciplinary broad-based peer reviewed scientific journal for critical evaluation of research on chemistry, biology and therapeutic applications of nutraceuticals and functional foods. The major goal of this journal is to provide peer reviewed unbiased scientific data to the decision makers in the nutraceutical and food industry to help make informed choices about development of new products.
To this end, the journal will publish two types of review articles. First, a review of preclinical research data coming largely from animal, cell culture and other experimental models. Such data will provide basis for future product development and/or human research initiatives. Second, a critical evaluation of current human experimental data to help market and deliver the product for medically proven use. This journal will also serve as a forum for nutritionists, internists, neurologists, psychiatrists, and all those interested in preventive medicine.
The common denominator of all of the topic to be covered by the journal must include nutraceuticals and/functional food. The following is an example of some specific areas that may be of interest to the journal. i) Role of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and phytonutrients on cardiovascular health, cancer, diabetes, ocular health, mental health, men’s health, women’s health, infant nutrition, ii) Role of herbals on human health, iii) Dietary supplements and sleep, iv) Components of diet that may have beneficial effect on human health, v) regulation of apoptosis and cell viability, vi) Isolation and characterization of bioactive components from functional foods, vii) Nutritional genomics, and viii) Nutritional proteomics.
