Abstract

Introduction In the current era of burgeoning industry, our exposure to various detrimental environmental factors, including mercury, has become increasingly prevalent. Recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO) as one of the most significant threats to public health, mercury induces a multitude of harmful effects on the entire body. Our focus in this article will be directed towards examining the specific impact of mercury on the thyroid. Purpose of the study The purpose of the study was to review the latest literature on the effects of mercury on the thyroid gland. Materials and Methodology Literature selections of medical databases PubMed and Google Scholar from the last six years (2017-2023) were performed. Articles were searched in English using the following key words: mercury, thyroid. Results Research consistently confirms mercury accumulation in thyroid cells, increasing with age. Mercury exposure influences thyroid function, raising the risk of hormonal issues and potential thyroid cancer. It also interacts with other elements, compounding adverse effects on the thyroid. Conclusion Presently, there is a limited number of studies specifically addressing the effects of mercury on the human thyroid gland. Consequently, it is probable that the full spectrum of its impacts on the thyroid has not yet been thoroughly investigated. Further research is imperative to delve into this subject comprehensively. Additionally, there is an urgent call for initiatives aimed at enhancing public awareness regarding the sources of mercury in the environment and food, along with strategies to mitigate exposure to this harmful substance.

甲状腺对汞的反应:对功能和结构的不同影响--最新研究综述
导言 在当前工业蓬勃发展的时代,我们接触包括汞在内的各种有害环境因素的机会越来越多。汞被世界卫生组织(WHO)认定为对公众健康最重大的威胁之一,它对整个人体产生多种有害影响。本文将重点研究汞对甲状腺的具体影响。研究目的 研究目的是回顾有关汞对甲状腺影响的最新文献。材料与方法 对医学数据库 PubMed 和 Google Scholar 中过去六年(2017-2023 年)的文献进行了选择。使用以下关键词搜索英文文章:汞、甲状腺。结果 研究一致证实,汞在甲状腺细胞中的积累随着年龄的增长而增加。汞暴露会影响甲状腺功能,增加激素问题和潜在甲状腺癌的风险。汞还会与其他元素相互作用,加重对甲状腺的不利影响。结论 目前,专门针对汞对人体甲状腺影响的研究数量有限。因此,汞对甲状腺的全面影响可能还没有得到彻底的研究。要全面深入地研究这个问题,进一步的研究势在必行。此外,迫切需要采取举措,提高公众对环境和食物中汞的来源的认识,并制定减少接触这种有害物质的战略。
