Abstract
PURPOSE Despite several factors that may have been associated with poor disease-free survival (DFS) in patients with medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC), only a few studies have evaluated the prognostic factors affecting DFS in MTC patients. Therefore, this study evaluated the prognostic factors affecting DFS, in a large number of patients with MTC. METHODS Patients treated for MTC were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were stratified as having persistent/recurrent disease and no evidence of disease (NOD) at the last follow-up. The factors affecting DFS after the initial therapy and during the follow-up period were investigated. RESULTS This study comprised 257 patients [females 160 (62.3%), hereditary disease 48 (18.7%), with a mean follow-up time of 66.8 ± 48.5 months]. Persistent/recurrent disease and NOD were observed in 131 (51%) and 126 (49%) patients, respectively. In multivariate analysis, age > 55 (HR: 1.65, p = 0.033), distant metastasis (HR: 2.41, p = 0.035), CTN doubling time (HR: 2.7, p = 0.031), and stage III vs. stage II disease (HR 3.02, p = 0.048) were independent predictors of persistent/recurrent disease. Although 9 (8%) patients with an excellent response after the initial therapy experienced a structural recurrence, the absence of an excellent response was the strongest predictor of persistent/recurrent disease (HR: 5.74, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS The absence of an excellent response after initial therapy is the strongest predictor of a worse DFS. However, a significant proportion of patients who achieve an excellent response could experience a structural recurrence. Therefore, careful follow-up of patients, including those achieving an excellent response is essential.

Abstract
Background Iodiene-131 (131I) treatment is the primary therapeutic approach for imaging 131I-avid pulmonary metastases. The response to radioiodine (RAI) treatment is an important prognostic factor in patients with pulmonary metastases from differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC). Patients who achieve an excellent response (ER) to 131I treatment show significantly reduced disease-related mortality. This study aimed to retrospectively analyse the clinical data and therapeutic effects of 131I treatment in patients with DTC and pulmonary metastases and to screen out the clinical factors affecting ER. Materials and methods The study included a total of 75 patients with exclusively Iodine-131 avid (131I-avid) pulmonary metastases who underwent 131I treatment. Relevant clinical data for these patients were collected. Following treatment, the status of DTC metastatic lesions was categorized as follows: excellent response (ER), biochemical incomplete response (BIR), structural incomplete response (SIR), or indeterminate response (IDR). Gender, age at diagnosis, pathological type, stages (TNM), stimulated thyroglobulin (sTg) value before initial 131I treatment, metastatic nodule size, and type of post-treatment whole body scan (Rx-WBS) were recorded. Mono-factor analysis and binary logistic regression analyses were used to identify the factors that might affect the ER in DTC pulmonary metastases. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve of the sTg value was used to predict the ER of 131I treatment. Results All 75 patients with exclusively 131I-avid pulmonary metastases received 131I treatment and underwent follow-up. Out of the 75 patients, 26 achieved ER, resulting in an excellent response rate of 34.7 % (26/75). Among them, 25 (25/26, 96.2 %) achieved an ER after undergoing two rounds of 131I treatment. Binary logistic regression analysis showed that the factors influencing DTC pulmonary metastases excellent response were lower sTg levels [odds ratio (OR) = 0.998, P < 0.001], micronodular metastases (OR = 0.349, P = 0.001) and focal distribution on Rx-WBS imaging (OR = 0.113, P = 0.001). The area under the ROC curve for sTg value predicting ER was 0.876, and the cut-off value was 26.84 ng/mL, with a sensitivity and specificity of 87.9 % and 80.3 %, respectively. Conclusions 131I treatment is effective for 131I-avid pulmonary metastases of DTC. Some patients who underwent 131I treatment achieved ER. Most patients with ER were obtained after two rounds of 131I treatments. Patients with sTg values before initial 131I treatment lower than 26.84 ng/mL, micronodular metastases, and focal distribution on Rx-WBS imaging were more likely to achieve ER.

Abstract
SnS2 nanosheets (NSs) have become an ideal candidate for high performance gas sensors due to their unique sensing properties. However, the restacking and aggregation in the process of sensor manufacturing have great influence on the gas sensing performance. In this study, we synthesized a novel heterojunction of the flower-like porous SnS2 NSs with edge exposed MoS2 nanospheres via a facile hydrothermal method and sensitive response has achieved at room temperature (27℃). After functionalization, the SMS-Ⅱ showed excellent response (Ra/Rg = 25.9-100 ppm NO2), which is 22.3 times higher than that of the pristine SnS2 NSs. The sensor also has the characteristics of short response time of 2 s, excellent base line recovery (28.2 s), long-term stability and reliability within 16 weeks, good selectivity and low detection concentration of only 50 ppb. The p-n heterojunction formed between the edge-exposed spherical MoS2 and the 3D flower-like SnS2 NSs has a synergistic effect, providing a highly active sites for the adsorption of NO2 gas, which greatly enhance the sensitivity of the sensor. Simple fabrication and excellent gas sensing performance of the SnS2/MoS2 heterostructure nanomaterials (NMs) will highly effective for commercial gas sensing application.
