Abstract:Objectives To analyze the influence of iodine 131 combined with Methimazole on bone metabolism and serum CXCL10, CCL22 in patients with hyperthyroidism. Methods A total of 184 patients with hyperthyroidism from November 2013 to November 2015 were randomly divided into experimental group (92 cases) and control group (92 cases). The patients in the experimental group were treated with iodine 131 combined with Methimazole and the patients in the control group were treated with only Methimazole. The thyroid function, the bone metabolism index and the levels of serum CXCL10 and CCL22 were evaluated and compared after treatment for 2 months. Results The levels of TT3, TT4, FT3 and FT4 all declined in the two groups, and declined more obviously in the experimental group than in the control group (p < 0.05). The total effective rate in the experimental group was 93.47%, which was significantly higher than that in the control group (p < 0.05). The levels of CT and BGP declined in the two groups, but more obvious in the experimental group (p < 0.05). The level of PTH increased in the two groups, but more significant in the experimental group (p < 0.05). The levels of CXCL10 and CCL22 decreased in the two groups, but more significant in the experimental group than in the control group (p < 0.05). Conclusions A small dose of iodine 131 combined with Methimazole can significantly improve the thyroid function and bone metabolism, correct the imbalance of Th1/Th2, lower the levels of CXCL10 and CCL22 and improve the patients' condition.
