Parathyroidectomy restored bone mineral density in a neglected femoral neck fracture with renal osteodystrophy:A case report

BACKGROUND This case report contributes to the medical literature by highlighting the successful management of a neglected femoral neck fracture in a patient with renal osteodystrophy and secondary hyperparathyroidism(SHPTH)who was on dialysis due to end-stage renal disease(ESRD).It underscores the efficacy of parathyroidectomy(PTX)in restoring bone mineral density(BMD)and promoting fracture healing,addressing a significant complication in ESRD patients.CASE SUMMARY A 36-year-old female with renal osteodystrophy and on dialysis due to ESRD presented with a history of left patellar tendon rupture and later,a right achilles tendon avulsion fracture.Persistent right hip pain led to the discovery of a neglected right femoral neck fracture,which was initially overlooked due to the patient’s complex medical history.Two months post-achilles tendon repair,the patient underwent PTX to manage the refractory SHPTH.The postoperative course included rehabilitation and weight-bearing exercises.Remarkably,2 years after osteosynthesis,radiographic assessments indicated a solid union of the periprothesis fracture and significant improvement in BMD,showcasing the efficacy of the treatment approach.CONCLUSION PTX,combined with appropriate rehabilitation,is crucial for improving BMD and fracture healing in ESRD patients with SHPTH.

Secondary Hyperparathyroidism in Dialysis Patients: Short- and Long-Term Outcomes of Conservative Parathyroidectomy

Secondary hyperparathyroidism (HPT) is frequent in dialysis patients. Parathyroidectomy (PTX) is indicated for patients who failed medical therapy. We reviewed the data from 184 dialysis patients who underwent PTX between January 2015 and January 2023. We aimed to evaluate the short and long term outcomes of PTX in dialysis patients, comparing the conservative 3/4 versus 7/8 techniques in this population.166 dialysis patients with secondary HPT were included. A conservative subtotal PTX (sPTX) 7/8 was performed in 72% of patients and sPTX 3/4 in 28% of them. Severe postoperative hypocalcaemiaocurred in 45 patients (27%). Hypocalcaemia was significantly more frequent in the sPTX 7/8 group (p = 0.012). One case of persistent HPT (0.6%) and 20 cases of recurrence (12%) were diagnosed. Recurrence was more frequent in the sPTX 3/4 group (15%). No deaths were reported during the perioperative period.

Effectiveness and safety of electroacupuncture analgesia in controlling intraoperative pain and hemodynamics during total thyroidectomy:A randomized controlled trial

Objective:To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of electroacupuncture in conjunction with additional medications in providing analgesia and stabilizing hemodynamic parameters during total thyroidectomy.Methods:This randomized controlled trial included 100 patients who underwent a total thyroidectomy between October 2022 and October 2023 at the Vietnam National Hospital of Acupuncture.The patients were randomized into two groups.The electroacupuncture analgesia(EA)group received EA stimulation at five acupuncture points:Hegu(LI 4),Neiguan(PC 6),Shuitu(ST 10),Quepen(ST 12),and Yifeng(SJ 17),while the control group received a bilateral superficial cervical plexus block.Primary outcomes included the level of analgesia and perioperative vital signs in both groups.Additionally,pain thresholds and serum b-endorphin levels were measured before and after electroacupuncture in the EA group.Results:Complete analgesia(Level A)was attained in 86%and 76%of the patients in the EA and control groups,respectively,with no significant difference between the two groups(P=1.00).In the EA group,the mean pain threshold after receiving EA doubled(648.7(77.4)g/s vs.305.3(45.3)g/s,P<.001),and the mean serum b-endorphin level increased by approximately 13.5 pg/mL(P<.001).All patients remained hemodynamically stable throughout the surgery.Conclusion:EA,in conjunction with additional medications that stimulate five acupuncture points,LI 4,PC 6,ST 10,ST 12,and SJ 17,was well tolerated and effectively maintained a suitable level of analgesia and hemodynamic stability during total thyroidectomy.

Thyroidectomy: Frequency and Indications in the General Surgery Department of the Hôpital National Ignace Deen/CHU de Conakry

Introduction: Thyroidectomy is a surgical procedure to remove all or part of the thyroid gland. The aim of this study was to report the results of thyroidectomy in the general surgery department of the Hôpital national Ignace Deen/CHU de Conakry. Methodology: This was a retrospective study, of seven (07) years (January 1, 2016 - August 31, 2023), in the General Surgery Department of the Ignace Deen National Hospital-CHU in Conakry. We included all records of patients admitted and operated on for thyroidectomy and with up-to-date medical records. The variables were epidemiological, clinical and therapeutic. Results: During the study period, we recorded 3221 cases of surgery, including 40 thyroidectomies (1.24% of cases). The average age was 42.4 years. Women were the most represented, with a sex ratio of 0.16. The reason for consultation was anterior cervical swelling in 86% (n = 25) of cases, followed by signs of cervical compression 21% (n = 6) and signs of thyrotoxicosis 31% (n = 9). Indications for thyroidectomy were dominated by homogeneous goitres in 69% (n = 20) of cases, basedow’s disease in 20.7% (n = 6) and nodular goitres in 6.9% (n = 2) of cases. The surgical procedures were lobo-isthmectomies in 72.4% (n = 21), subtotal thyroidectomies 13.8% (n = 4), total thyroidectomies 10.3% (n = 3). Postoperative follow-up was straightforward in 69% (n = 20). Complications included haemorrhage in 20.7% (n = 6) and recurrence in 6.9% (n = 2). The average hospital stay was 7 days. Conclusion: Thyroidectomy is a relatively frequent surgical procedure in our department. Indications are dominated by homogeneous goitres. Morbidity is related to hemorrhage. Rigorous hemostasis could improve the quality of thyroidectomy.

Post Thyroidectomy Assessment of Intact Parathyroid Hormone for Early Prediction of Hypocalcaemia

Background: As the half-life of intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) is very low, it reflects parathyroid insufficiency within minutes to hours after total thyroidectomy. Therefore, iPTH level assessment in the postoperative period can be used to predict the development of hypocalcaemia. The optimal time point to measure serum iPTH is important for the accurate prediction of hypocalcaemia. Aim: This paper aims to evaluate the ability of iPTH as an early predictive marker of hypocalcaemia and determine which time iPTH is more able to predict postoperative hypocalcaemia. Method: This prospective observational study was conducted in the Department of Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery, BSMMU, Dhaka, from July 2020 to December 2021, with 67 patients who underwent total thyroidectomy. iPTH levels were measured on the day before the operation and at 1 hour, 4 hours, and 24 hours after the operation. S.calcium levels were measured on the day before the operation and 1st postoperative day. All the data were compiled and sorted properly and were analyzed statistically. Results: Postoperative hypocalcaemia developed in 18 cases, with an incidence of 26.9%. Pearson correlation showed a significant correlation between postoperative iPTH at 1 hr, 4 h, and 24 hr with 1st postoperative calcium value. The Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was processed for the postoperative iPTH at 1 hr, 4 h, and 24 hr. The sensitivity, specificity, cut-off value, and mean AUC found 93.9%, 94.4%, ≤14.0, 0.988;95.9%, 94.4%, ≤09.5, 0.993 and 91.8%, 94.4%, ≤11.0, 0.993 respectively. Conclusion: iPTH can be used as an early predictor of post-thy-roidectomy hypocalcaemia. 4 hr iPTH showed more sensitivity and specificity for a cut-off value near the laboratory reference range.

术中及围手术期血清iPTH监测对501例继发性甲状旁腺功能亢进患者手术效果的精准诊断研究——“Diagnostic Accuracy Study of Intraoperative and Perioperative Serum Intact PTH Level for Successful Parathyroidectomy in 501 Secondary Hyperparathyroidism Patients”的二

目的甲状旁腺切除术(parathyroidectomy,PTX)是继发性甲状旁腺功能亢进患者(secondary hyperparathyroidism,SHPT)的有效治疗方式,然而由于甲状旁腺位置和数目异常的存在,部分患者术后SHPT仍持续存在。本研究探讨PTX患者术中及围手术期血清全段甲状旁腺激素(intact parathyroid hormone,iPTH)监测对手术效果精准诊断的意义。方法记录501例行甲状旁腺全切+自体前臂移植术(不伴胸腺切除)的慢性肾脏病患者的术中及围手术期血清iPTH值。术后一周内患者血清iPTH≤50 pg/ml为手术成功;若>50 pg/ml则在6月内进行随访,随访血清iPTH<300 pg/mL即为手术成功,否则为SHPT持续存在。结果 433例(86.4%)患者手术成功,49例(9.8%)患者SHPT持续存在,19例(3.8%)患者缺乏有效随访归为手术效果未知组。肝炎(n=204)与非肝炎(n=297)患者比较,基线血清iPTH水平及术中血清iPTH下降百分比无显著统计学差异(P>0.05)。受试者工作特征(receiver operating characteristic,ROC)曲线结果表明术后20分钟血清iPTH下降≥88.9%提示手术成功(曲线下面积0.909,敏感度78.6%,特异度88.5%)。术后4天血清iPTH≥147.4 pg/ml提示SHPT持续存在(曲线下面积0.998,敏感度100%,特异度99.5%)。结论甲状旁腺切除术中血清iPTH监测能提示甲状旁腺切除是否彻底,避免对患者不必要的探查,降低手术并发症的发生率。围手术期血清iPTH监测提示SHPT是否持续存在,对此类患者需密切随访、及时开始药物治疗或必要时再次手术。

Robotic transoral vestibular parathyroidectomy:Two case reports and review of literature

Advances in preoperative localization studies and de-mands for scarless surgery have promoted the inves-tigation for remote techniques in parathyroid surgery. Transoral vestibular approach seems to provide the most comfortable and safest access to the neck. In this paper, we report our initial experience with robotic transoral ves-tibular parathyroidectomy(RTVP) in four patients with primary hyperparathyroidism. The surgery was perfor-med with the Da Vinci system through three trocars intro-duced from the lower lip vestibule. The procedure was converted to open in two patients due to inappropriate preoperative localization. The mean operative time was 169 min. No postoperative complications were seen. Patients were discharged on postoperative day 1. RTVP is a feasible and safe technique, which allows better surgical exposure and manipulation of the instruments. The advantages of transoral vestibular approach can be enhanced by robotics. Further studies are needed to analyze complications and costs.

Effect of calcium supplementation on severe hypocalcemia in patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism after total parathyroidectomy

BACKGROUND Severe hypocalcemia(SH)is a dreaded complication of total parathyroidectomy(TPTX)without auto-transplantation.AIM To compare conventional and preventive calcium supplementation(CS)regimens in terms of SH occurrence after TPTX.METHODS This retrospective study included patients who underwent TPTX between January 2015 and May 2018 at the China-Japan Friendship Hospital.From January 2015 to May 2016,conventional CS was performed in patients who underwent TPTX,with calcium amounts adjusted according to postoperative serum calcium levels.From October 2016 to May 2018,preventive CS was performed according to preoperative alkaline phosphatase(ALP)levels.The patients were defined as lowrisk(ALP<500 U/L)and high-risk(ALP>500 U/L)for SH.All preoperative blood samples were collected in the fasting state on the day before surgery.Postoperative blood samples were obtained at 6-7 AM from the first postoperative day.RESULTS A total of 271 patients were included.These patients were 47.7±11.1 years old,and 57.6%were male.Their mean body mass index(BMI)was 22.9±3.8 kg/m^(2).There were no significant differences in sex,age,BMI,preoperative ALP,serum calcium,serum phosphorus,calcium-phosphorus ratio,and intact parathyroid hormone(iPTH)between the two CS groups.Compared with conventional CS,preventive CS led to lower occurrence rates of hypocalcemia within 48 h(46.0%vs 74.5%,P<0.001)and SH(31.7%vs 64.1%,P<0.001).Multivariable analysis showed that preoperative iPTH levelsodds ratio(OR)=1.001,95%confidence interval(CI:1.000-1.001,P=0.009),preoperative ALP amounts(OR=1.002,95%CI:1.001-1.003,P=0.002),preoperative serum phosphorus levels(OR=8.729,95%CI:1.518-50.216,P=0.015)and preventive CS(OR=0.132,95%CI:0.067-0.261,P<0.001)were independently associated with SH.In patients with preoperative ALP≥500 U/L,only preventive CS(OR=0.147,95%CI:0.038-0.562.P=0.005)was independently associated with SH.CONCLUSION This study suggests that preventive CS could reduce the occurrence of SH,indicating its critical value for hypocalcemia after TPTX.

Experience with Post Transplant Parathyroidectomy in Gulf Region and Literature Review

Sustained elevation of parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels is not uncommon post renal transplantation. Though in the majority of patients, it gradually normalizes, on average 5% of transplanted patients require parathyroidectomy (PTX). However, PTX itself has been associated with deterioration in allograft function and even completes graft loss seen with both total and subtotal PTX as well as an increased rate of acute rejection. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of post transplant partial PTX on allograft function in our patients as well as the incidence of acute rejection. Our results show that post transplantation, subtotal PTX, was successful in achieving metabolic control while preserving graft function without an increased incidence of acute rejection. Retention of sufficient residual parathyroid tissue with partial PTX might account for favorable outcome in our study. Despite this, surgery for advanced hyperparathyroidism should optimally take place in the pre-transplant period.

Thromboelastographic Profile of Patients with Hyperparathyroidism Secondary to Chronic Kidney Failure Submitted to Total Parathyroidectomy

Coagulopathy in surgical patients can cause perioperative complications, as both bleeding and thromboembolic events increase surgical morbimortality. The recognition of preexisting disorders and the understanding of the dynamic changes in hemostasis during surgery are prerequisites of safe patient management. The perioperative management of patients with chronic kidney failure is a huge challenge due to both the hypercoagulable state and increased risk of bleeding. Classic laboratory exams performed for the evaluation of blood clotting seem insufficient regarding the determination of the risk of bleeding and thrombosis in surgical patients. As patients with chronic kidney failure develop secondary hyperparathyroidism, the aim of the present study was to describe a case series and correlate the perioperative thromboelastographic profile of patients with chronic kidney failure submitted to parathyroidectomy with their secondary hyperparathyroidism.

Parathyroidectomy in Chronic Haemodialysis in the Nephrology and Haemodialysis Department at the University Hospital Center of Point G in Bamako, Mali

Introduction: Secondary hyperparathyroidism is a common complication in chronic hemodialysis patients. It is characterized by hypersecretion of parathormone by the parathyroid glands to maintain phosphocalcium homeostasis in response to hypocalcemia, lowering of 1.25 dihydroxy vitamin D3 and hyperphosphatemia. Objective: To analyze the results of parathyroidectomy (PTX) in cases of secondary hyperparathyroidism (HPTS), report the post-operative course and early and late complications. Patients and Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of ten (10) patients with chronic renal failure operated on at the CHU of Point G over a 32-month period, from January 1, 2016 to August 31, 2019. We analyzed the clinical, biological, radiological and histological parameters of the thyroid glands. Results: We have collected 33 cases of secondary hyperparathyroidism. Ten (10) patients met the inclusion criteria. They were 45 years old on average, seven (7) women and three (3) men, in dialysis for an average of 6.8 years before parathyroidectomy. Half of the initial kidney disease was of vascular origin (HTA). No cases of diabetic nephropathy were identified. Symptoms were in order of frequency: bone pain (60%), paresthesia (50%), functional impotence of the lower limbs (50%). Radiological signs included demineralisation (5 out of 6 cases) and brown tumour associated with a fracture (1 out of 6 cases). The most frequent indication for parathyroidectomy (100%) was persistence despite treatment of a serum PTH concentration above 1000 pg/ml. Subtotal PTX (7/8) was performed after cervical ultrasound in all patients. Histological analysis of the parathyroid glands showed adenoma (60%) and hyperplasia in 40% of cases. The evolution was marked by a progressive reduction of the parathormone level over twelve (12) months, without achieving normalization. This could be related to sub-dialysis (generator failure with reduction of dialysis time). There were no cases of complications or mortality. Conclusion: Parathyroidectomy is an effective treatment to curb hypersecretion of parathyroid hormone. Despite this satisfactory result, the management of phosphocalcic abnormalities in renal failure remains an ongoing concern.

Minimally Invasive Mediastinal Parathyroidectomy: An Effective and Safe Technique in Patients with Ectopic Primary Hyperparathyroidism

Introduction: Primary hyperparathyroidism is a disease commonly caused by a single parathyroid adenoma in 80% - 85% of cases, and is less frequently caused by parathyroid hyperplasia. In approximately 2% of cases, the ectopic parathyroid adenoma is located within the mediastinum. Safely targeted parathyroidectomy is the gold standard procedure for surgical management of primary hyperparathyroidism. We reviewed our surgical experience using video-assisted thoracic surgery and a robotic technique for surgical resection of mediastinal parathyroid adenoma, caused by primary hyperparathyroidism. Materials and Methods: From July 2010 to September 2016, six consecutive patients with symptomatic primary hyperparathyroidism were evaluated with neck ultrasound computed tomography (CT), technetium-99 sestamibi scintigraphy, and selective venous sampling with a measurement of parathyroid hormone levels. Four patients underwent video-assisted thoracic parathyroidectomy and two patients had robotic-assisted parathyroidectomy. Results:? In six patients, there were four women and two men with a mean age of 47.5 years (ranging from 31 - 60 years). The mediastinal parathyroid adenomas were successfully localized by preoperative imaging studies in five patients. Only in one patient, we were unable to localize the parathyroid adenoma. All parathyroid adenomas were successfully resected without any complications. Conclusions: We found that minimally invasive mediastinal parathyroidectomy is promising, safe, and effective in a selected group of patients, as well as providing superior cosmetic results and a short hospital stay.

Bilateral superficial cervical plexus block for parathyroidectomy during pregnancy:A case report

BACKGROUND Primary hyperparathyroidism(PHPT)is the most common cause of pregnancyrelated hypercalcemia.PHPT can cause maternal and fetal complications in pregnant women.General anesthesia for non-obstetric surgery in pregnant women is associated with maternal hazards and concerns regarding long-term neonatal neurocognitive effects.Surgical removal of the lesion in mid-pregnancy is currently the primary treatment option for pregnant patients with PHPT.However,the blood calcium concentration at which surgery should be considered remains under discussion due to the risk of miscarriage.CASE SUMMARY A 31-year-old nulliparous woman at 11 wk of gestation was admitted to our hospital for parathyroidectomy.The patient had a history of intrauterine fetal death with unknown etiology at 16 wk of gestation 1 year prior.Her blood test results showed that the serum calcium level was elevated to 12.9 mg/dL,and the parathyroid hormone level was elevated to 157 pg/mL.In a neck ultrasound,it revealed a 0.8 cm×1.5 cm sized oval,hypoechoic mass in the upper posterior of the left thyroid gland,which was compatible with parathyroid adenoma.Superficial cervical plexus block(SCPB)for parathyroidectomy was performed.After surgery,the obstetrician checked the status of the fetus,and there were no abnormal signs.Since then her calcium level returned to normal values after one week of surgery and a healthy male neonate of 2910 g was delivered vaginally at 38 wk of gestation.CONCLUSION Our case suggests that SCPB can be an anesthetic option for parathyroidectomy during the first trimester of pregnancy.

Long-Term Efficacy of Parathyroidectomy onHyperparathyroid Bone Disease

This is a retrospective analysis of long-term efficacy of parathyroidectomy on hyperparathyroid bone disease. The clinical manifestations, bone structure, and bone mineral density in 16 patients averaged 5.1 (1. 0-10. 5) years after parathyroidectomy were assessed. The results showed that although the bone disease could be markedly relieved after surgery, yet at terminal point of follow-up, 10/16 cases (62. 5% ) got incomplete recovery of bone disease, the ratio of incomplete recovery in Y1 group with severe bone disease was higher than that of Y2 group with mild bone disease (P <0. 05). The concentrations of serum BGP and morning void urine pyridinoline were within the refer ence ranges of young and middle aged controls. These imply that the osteoblastic and osteoclastic activities had reached a balancing state. The results suggested that hyperparathyroid patients should be operated on as early as possible, and intensively followed up after operation. subsequent therapy should be given to patients with incomplete recovery of bone disease.

Surgical Treatment of Hyperparathyroidism Secondary to Chronic Renal Failure: Our Experience with the 7/8 Subtotal Parathyroidectomy Technique

Introduction: Surgical management takes place, after a certain period of evolution, on particularly severe forms of secondary hyperparathyroidism, resistant to medical treatment. Subtotal parathyroidectomy is an effective technique in the treatment of these disorders. Method: Our study is retrospective of 33 cases of hyperparathyroidism secondary to chronic renal failure in dialysis patients operated by the 7/8 technique. Identified over a period of 10 years (January 2010 to December 2019), in the ENT department of the Fann University Hospital. Results: Out of 33 cases of secondary hyperparathyroidism, the average age of our patients was 51.24 years with a sex ratio of 0.43. Causal nephropathy was dominated by nephro-angiosclerosis, which was found in 27.27% of cases. Bone pain found in 23 patients or 69.69% was the predominant clinical sign. The average calcemia was 92.7 mg/l. Parathormone was dosed in all our patients and the average was 1611.05 ng/l. The consequences were clinically marked by recurrent paresis in one patient. No case of hematoma or postoperative infection was found. On the biological level 10 patients or 30.30% had a transient hypocalcaemia. The results were marked by a drop in PTH in 23 patients or 78.78% of cases. Conclusion: Subtotal parathyroidectomy remains an effective and beneficial therapeutic method for kidney failure patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism.

Assessment of Thyroidectomies in Children at the ENT Department of the Thiès Regional Hospital, about 29 Cases over 16 Years (2003-2018)

Thyroidectomy is a complete or partial surgical removal of the thyroid gland. The aim was to review the particularities of thyroid surgery in children, to review our operative indications and our working method as well as the results by comparing them with the data in the literature. This was a retrospective study covering a sixteen-year period from January 2003 to December 2018. We collated 29 patient records from 3 to 15 years of age. The epidemiological aspect, the indication and the operative gesture, the anatomopathological result were studied. Data were processed using Epi Info version 3.5.4 and Microsoft Excel 2010. Our study shows that thyroid surgery in children accounted for 2% of all thyroidectomies performed (1350 cases). Females were most affected, with a sex ratio of 0.16. The mean age was 12 years, with extremes of 3 and 15 years. Three indication groups: Graves’ disease 62%, heteromulti nodular goiter (HMNG) 28%, thyroid nodule 10%. Thyroid surgery was total in 65.5% of cases;subtotal thyroidectomy in 20.7%. Partial thyroidectomy was performed in 13.7% of cases. We dissected 54 recurrent nerves, and the parathyroids were controlled. Drainage was systematic. We noted one complication (3.4%). It involved immediate postoperative dyspnea requiring a life-saving tracheotomy, and decanulation was performed 48 hours after surgery.

改良无充气经单侧锁骨下入路腔镜甲状腺全切除术治疗甲状腺乳头状癌的临床分析

目的探讨改良无充气经单侧锁骨下入路腔镜甲状腺全切除术治疗甲状腺乳头状癌的可行性和安全性。方法回顾性分析2022年3月至2023年6月在浙江大学医学院附属邵逸夫医院头颈外科接受改良无充气经单侧锁骨下入路腔镜甲状腺全切除术的82例甲状腺乳头状癌患者的临床资料。结果所有手术均在腔镜下顺利完成,无中转开放手术。平均甲状腺乳头状癌的最大直径为(6.6±5.4)mm,平均手术时间(156.5±32.7)min,清扫的中央区淋巴结数目为(12±6.4)枚,术后住院时间为(3.3±1.2)d。术后暂时性甲状旁腺功能减退2例,暂时性声音嘶哑6例,均在术后1月恢复正常,术后出血1例。无永久性喉返神经损伤、永久性甲状旁腺功能减退及切口感染发生。随访过程中无肿瘤局部残留或复发。结论在合理选择病例的前提下改良无充气经单侧锁骨下入路腔镜下行甲状腺全切除手术安全可行,中央区淋巴结清扫彻底,颈前区功能保护好,有临床应用价值。

小鼠甲状腺功能减退模型的建立

目的将C57BL/6和KM小鼠甲状腺通过两种不同术式全切后,验证甲状腺功能减退模型造模是否成功,同时比较不同术式造模的成功率差异。方法本研究采用C57BL/6和KM小鼠进行结扎法(术式Ⅰ)和止血法(术式Ⅱ)进行甲状腺全切操作,并记录操作详细过程,利用酶联免疫吸附法检测、对比术前及术后小鼠的血清TT3、TT4及TSH水平、体重及颈部组织苏木精-伊红(HE)染色验证模型。结果两种术式均造成两种属模型组小鼠血清TT3、TT4降低(P<0.05),TSH升高(P<0.001)。术式Ⅰ组和术式Ⅱ组小鼠术后28 d内存活率分别为C57BL/6小鼠:40%和60%;KM小鼠:50%和40%。两种属手术组小鼠术后体重较假手术组均明显升高。HE染色和显微镜观察结果表明,两种属小鼠颈部切取组织为甲状腺组织,且离体后甲状腺后背膜完整。结论两种手术方式均能造成两种属小鼠甲状腺功能减退,但需要熟悉小鼠甲状腺及周围组织解剖关系,提高操作熟练度,预防术后低钙及感染从而提高造模后小鼠存活率。

甲状腺切除术中甲状旁腺原位保留联合半量自体移植的临床疗效

目的:探究甲状腺全切并中央区清扫时甲状旁腺原位保留联合半量移植的临床疗效。方法:回顾性分析我院2017年09月至2023年01月行甲状腺全切并中央区清扫术的128例甲状腺乳头状癌患者;按不同甲状旁腺处理方式分为原位保留组(n=58例)、原位保留联合半量移植组(联合组)(n=27例)及全移植组(n=43例),对于三组间患者临床及随访资料进行比较及统计分析。结果:联合组及全移植组术后PTH减低比例明显低于原位保留组(P<0.05);术后第7天时,联合组PTH减低比例(7.4%)低于全移植组(27.9%)(χ^(2)=4.356,P=0.037);联合组同全移植组出现永久性甲状旁腺功能低下患者比例(分别为0%和2.3%)明显低于原位保留组(12.1%)(χ^(2)=6.282,P=0.043);术后30天时联合组及全移植组低钙发生率(分别为3.7%和7%)明显低于原位保留组(27.6%)(χ^(2)=12.310,P=0.002)。结论:对于原位保留的甲状旁腺术中无法判断血供或血供可疑障碍时甲状旁腺原位保留联合半量自体移植作为双保险的方案优势明显;其术后甲状旁腺激素水平恢复速度快,发生永久性甲状旁腺功能低下比例低。

甲状旁腺全切+自体移植术对肾性继发性甲状旁腺功能亢进患者骨密度的影响

目的观察甲状旁腺全切+自体移植术(total parathyroidectomy with autotransplantation,tPTx+AT)对继发性甲状旁腺功能亢进(secondary hyperparathyroidism,SHPT)患者骨密度(bone mineral density,BMD)及血清可溶性Klotho(soluble Klotho,sKlotho)蛋白的影响。方法选取自2019年6月至2022年5月于安徽医科大学第二附属医院行tPTx+AT患者86例,收集患者术前人口学特征,术前及术后第5天、术后1个月、术后3个月、术后6个月、术后12个月及术后24个月的血清校正钙、磷、全段甲状旁腺激素(intact parathyroid hormone,iPTH)、碱性磷酸酶(alkaline phosphatase,ALP)、成纤维细胞生长因子23(fibroblast growth factor 23,FGF23)及sKlotho蛋白,双能X线吸收法测量术前及术后(3个月、6个月、12个月及24个月)腰椎L1-L4骨密度。观察tPTx+AT术前及术后FGF23、sKlotho蛋白及骨密度的变化。结果86例患者均手术成功,术后临床症状如骨痛、皮肤瘙痒等明显改善;术后血钙、磷、iPTH、ALP及FGF23较术前均明显下降。血sKlotho在术后第5天时较术前显著下降,术后1个月时sKlotho水平较术前升高约24.5%,此后sKlotho趋于稳定。术后腰椎L1-L4骨密度增加,至术后12个月最高。进一步分析显示,透析龄、SHPT持续时间、ALP、iPTH及FGF23与术前腰椎L1-L4 Z值呈负相关,sKlotho与术前腰椎L1-L4 Z值呈正相关。结论tPTx+AT可显著改善SHPT患者临床症状,调节钙磷代谢平衡,增加sKlotho、降低FGF23水平,是提高骨密度的有效治疗手段。
