With the rapid development of medical imaging technique, iodinated contrast media (IOCM) has become the most commonly used agent in performing imaging diagnosis and interventional therapy. The use of IOCM, especially the use of non-ionic iodine contrast media, has been swiftly increased in recent years. The accompanying untoward reactions, such as allergic reactions, cardiovascular reactions, contrast media nephropathy, thyroid toxicity, etc. prove to be the new problems that greatly perplex the medical circle. With the continuous improvement of the knowledge to the untoward reactions, more and more physicians have paid attention to contrast media induced thyroid toxicity. At present, researches concerning iodine contrast media thyroid toxicity are still few, and the relevant research is particularly rare in China. This paper aims to make a review about the influence of different kinds of iodine contrast media on thyroid function.

Objective To study the effect and mechanism of increase in radio sensitivity of kidney cancer cells(GRC-1) induced by ?-elemenen in vitro. Methods GRC-1 cells were divided into 3 groups, blank group (added with 2 mL culture medium), emulsion group (added with 2 mL blank emulsion culture medium) and drug group (added with 2 mL 50 mg?L -1 ?-elemenen culture medium). After been cultivated for 24 hours, the cells were irradiated using 6MeV X-linear accelerator in different doses at the rate of 400cGy per minute. Number of cell clones was counted, and radiation-survival curve of GRC-1 cells was drawn. Flow cytometry (FCM) was used to measure cell cycle and apoptosis. Cells of climbing flake were dyed by immunocytochemical method, the gene expression of bcl-2 and PCNA was measured by imaging system. Results The cell cycle showed that the G 2M blocking caused by 50 mg?L -1 ?-elemenen was enhanced with time increase. It reached peak at 24 hours. FCM showed that the level of apoptosis increased with increase in drug dose and action time. The gene expression of bcl-2 was decreased by 20% in drug group than that in blank group, but there was no expression of PCNA in the two groups. Conclusion The radiosensitivity of GRC-1 cells can be enhanced by ?-elemenen. The mechanism of effect may be associated with the cell cycle blocking, inducing cell apoptosis and down-regulating expression of bcl-2 gene.
