Abstract
PURPOSE The most common indications for total thyroidectomy (TT) in children are malignancy and thyrotoxicosis due to Graves' disease (GD). However, the incidence of patients with GD among patients undergoing TT is unknown. This study aims to examine trends in pediatric TT. MATERIALS AND METHODS The US Agency for Health Research and Quality Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP) Kids' Inpatient Database (KID) was queried to identify patients who underwent TT between 1997 and 2019. Weighted national estimates were obtained. Statistical analysis was completed using univariate logistic regression and one-sided Mann-Kendall Test. RESULTS An estimated 4803 pediatric patients underwent TT within the study years. GD was the indication in 25 % of cases. Mann-Kendall testing showed a trend toward an increasing proportion of TT for GD without reaching statistical significance (z = 1.3609, S = 12, p = 0.0688). Statistically significant univariate associations were found among those who underwent thyroidectomy for GD compared to other indications, as they were more likely to be female (β = 0.286, 95 % CI [0.058, 0.514], p = 0.014), Black, or Hispanic (β = 1.392 [1.064, 1.721], p < 0.001; and β = 0.562 [0.311, 0.814], p < 0.001, respectively). Additionally, they were less likely to have private insurance (β = -0.308 [-1.076, -0.753], p = 0.002) and more likely to live in a ZIP code associated with a median household income below the 50th percentile (β = 0.190 [0.012, 0.369], p = 0.036). The associations with the female sex, Black race, and Hispanic race persisted in multivariate analysis. CONCLUSION GD appears to be an increasingly prevalent indication for TT. Patient characteristics differ from those who undergo TT for other diagnoses.

Abstract
Introduction Treatment of patients with pediatric differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) often involves radioiodine (RAI), which is associated with increased risks of short- and long-term adverse outcomes. The impact of RAI treatment on the female reproductive system remains uncertain. Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is a marker of ovarian reserve and is related to fertility. Objective The aim was to analyze the association between RAI and serum AMH level in women treated with RAI. Methods We evaluated women with pediatric DTC treated with RAI at the age of ≤19 years. Serum AMH was measured. Results The study included 47 patients with a mean age of 25.1 years (12.4-50.8) at AMH measurement and follow-up of 11.8 ± 8.4 years. The mean RAI administered was 235 mCi (30-1150). Sixteen (34%) received multiple RAI doses (471 ± 215 mCi). Mean AMH level was 2.49 ng/mL (0.01-7.81); the level was 1.57 ng/mL (0.01-7.81) after multiple RAI doses and 2.99 ng/mL (0.01-6.63) after a single RAI dose (P = 0.01). Patients who received a cumulative RAI lower than 200 mCi had higher AMH levels (2.23 ng/mL, 0.39-7.81) than those who received more (1.0 ng/mL, 0.01-6.63; P = 0.02). In patients with similar cumulative RAI activities, administration of multiple RAI doses was significantly and independently associated with AMH level lower than the reference range for age (HR: 5.9, 1.55-52.2, P = 0.014) after age adjustments. Conclusion Levels of AMH were lower after multiple RAI doses, especially after a cumulative RAI dose above 200 mCi. More studies are needed to clarify the impact of RAI on fertility considering its cumulative activity and treatment strategy.

Abstract
Pentacyclic triterpenes is a natural amphipathic product which possess a rigid backbone and several polar functional groups such as hydroxyl, carbonyl and carboxyl groups. The amphipathic character makes it easy to realize self-assemble into complex nano structure and therefore attract extensive attention due to the simple synthetic processes and renewable raw materials. Hence, a novel Ursolic acid-based hydrogel was prepared successfully via a simple self-assembly of triterpenoid derivative in methanol by capture water molecule in air. The resulting hydrogel show a porous morphology and good elasticity including strong heat resistance. Based on the characteristic above, the hydrogel showed a good iodine adsorption capacity and can removal 75.0% of the iodine from cyclohexane solution and 66.3% from aqueous solution within 36 h. Data analysis indicate that all the iodine adsorption process are dominated by chemisorption and belongs to the multi-site adsorption on heterogenous surfaces. In addition, the obtained hydrogel also possesses a good recyclability which can maintain more than 82% of its capacity after 5 cycles. The simple preparation method and easily available raw materials endow it a great potential in future pollutant treatment.

Abstract
The nuclear industry will continue to develop rapidly and produce energy in the foreseeable future; however, it presents unique challenges regarding the disposal of released waste radionuclides because of their volatility and long half-life. The release of radioactive isotopes of iodine from uranium fission reactions is a challenge. Although various adsorbents have been explored for the uptake of iodine, there is still interest in novel adsorbents. The novel adsorbents should be synthesized using reliable and economically feasible synthetic procedures. Herein, we discussed the state-of-the-art performance of various categories of porous organic materials including covalent organic frameworks, covalent triazine frameworks, porous aromatic frameworks, porous organic cages, among other porous organic polymers for the uptake of iodine. This review discussed the synthesis of porous organic materials and their iodine adsorption capacity and reusability. Finally, the challenges and prospects for iodine capture using porous organic materials are highlighted.

Abstract
In Hungary, an average of 2066 women under the age of 40 are diagnosed with cancer each year according to data from the National Cancer Registry. Approximately two-thirds of these patients require gonadotoxic treatment for their disease, which could potentially reduce their chances of future conception and childbirth. Currently, there are no professional guidelines on fertility preservation in Hungary, however, it is important to inform patients about their options. In our previous paper, we presented the gonadotoxic effects of oncotherapies and the currently available fertility preservation techniques. This second paper provides current treatment methods and recommends fertility preservation techniques in different cancer types. The success of an oncofertility program relies heavily on the effective communication and collaboration between oncologists and reproductive specialists involved in fertility preservation. This paper may be the first step in elaborating a guideline towards improving access to oncofertility services and ultimately improving the quality of life for young cancer survivors in Hungary.

Abstract
Simple Summary This meta-analysis of 22 articles investigated whether thyroidectomy or radioactive iodine treatment (RAIT) in patients with differentiated thyroid cancer was associated with an increase in adverse pregnancy outcomes, such as miscarriage, preterm delivery, and congenital malformations. The results of this meta-analysis suggest that thyroid cancer treatment, including RAIT, is not associated with an increased risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes, including miscarriage, preterm labor, and congenital anomalies. Abstract This meta-analysis investigated whether thyroidectomy or radioactive iodine treatment (RAIT) in patients with differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) was associated with an increase in adverse pregnancy outcomes, such as miscarriage, preterm delivery, and congenital malformations. A total of 22 articles (5 case-control and 17 case series studies) from 1262 studies identified through a literature search in the PubMed and EMBASE databases from inception up to 13 September 2021 were included. In patients with DTC who underwent thyroidectomy, the event rates for miscarriage, preterm labor, and congenital anomalies were 0.07 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.05–0.11; 17 studies), 0.07 (95% CI, 0.05–0.09; 14 studies), and 0.03 (95% CI, 0.02–0.06; 17 studies), respectively. These results are similar to those previously reported in the general population. The risk of miscarriage or abortion was increased in patients with DTC when compared with controls without DTC (odds ratio [OR], 1.80; 95% CI, 1.28–2.53; I2 = 33%; 3 studies), while the OR values for preterm labor and the presence of congenital anomalies were 1.22 (95% CI, 0.90–1.66; I2 = 62%; five studies) and 0.73 (95% CI, 0.39–1.38; I2 = 0%; two studies) respectively, which showed no statistical significance. A subgroup analysis of patients with DTC according to RAIT revealed that the risk of miscarriage, preterm labor, or congenital anomalies was not increased in the RAIT group when compared with patients without RAIT. The results of this meta-analysis suggest that thyroid cancer treatment, including RAIT, is not associated with an increased risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes, including miscarriage, preterm labor, and congenital anomalies.
