| Abstract |
Treatment of differentiated thyroid cancer usually consists of a total thyroidectomy followed by one or several courses of radioiodine ((131)I). (131)I is known to have deleterious effects on radiation sensitive tissues and irradiation to the testes has been shown after its administration. We investigated effects of such treatment on sperm DNA in a patient with differentiated thyroid carcinoma. The patient, a 32-year-old male with differentiated thyroid carcinoma treated by total thyroidectomy and radioiodine therapy, performed 6 semen samples in total, 3 for sperm banking and 3 for semen exploration, that were analysed for classic semen parameters. DNA integrity was analysed by flow cytometry: sperm DNA fragmentation index (DFI) and high DNA stainability (HDS) were analyzed by sperm chromatin structure assay, DNA fragmentation was analyzed by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling assay. Moderate oligozoospermia was observed as early as 3 months after a first dose of (131)I and became severe at 5 months. Total sperm count was reduced up to 12 months after the second dose of (131)I. Sperm DFI was increased 3.25 months after the first dose of (131)I. All parameters returned to normal values 28 months after the second (131)I dose. Treatment with (131)I induces alterations in sperm chromatin as well as in sperm parameters a short time (3 months) after a first dose of (131)I with persistence of sperm alterations until 12 months after a second dose. Sperm banking should be recommended before treatment. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 12 August 2015.
All research outputs
#15,739,529
of 25,373,627 outputs
Outputs from Basic and Clinical Andrology
#63
of 161 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#141,228
of 276,465 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Basic and Clinical Andrology
#1
of 1 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,373,627 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 37th percentile – i.e., 37% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 161 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 24.4. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 59% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 276,465 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 47th percentile – i.e., 47% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 1 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than all of them
