ObjectiveTo summarize the experience of comprehensive treatment of parathyroid carcinoma (PTC).MethodThe clinicopathologic data of patient with PTC admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University were retrospectively analyzed.ResultsThe patient was a 42-year-old male, who was diagnosed with the primary hyperparathyroidism after suffering from systemic joint pain for more than 2 years. The patient accepted the first operation in a primary hospital, including the resection of the PTC and ipsilateral thyroid lobectomy, and the PTC was confirmed pathologically. The second operation was performed due to the tumor relapse within thyroid bed. The third operation was performed with the palliative resection of the recurrent tumor in the right neck and the three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy was performed. The fourth operation was performed in the left neck with lateral lymph node dissection of level Ⅲ and level Ⅳ. The lower left lung cuneiform resection was performed in the fifth operation. For the last operation, the mediastinal metastatic tumor was removed with thoracoscopy. The multiple imaging evaluation showed no evidence of recurrence in the neck, but the extensive pulmonary metastasis occurred.ConclusionsSurgery is the only effective treatment for PTC. En bloc excision consists of resection of primary tumor, ipsilateral thyroid lobectomy, other surrounding structures involved by the tumor and central neck dissection. During operation, tumor rupture should be avoided. Accessible metastatic tumor should be resected when possible. Radiotherapy should be performed in patient with local infiltration or unresectable tumor. Effect of chemotherapy for PTC is poor. Supportive medical care should be given for fatal hypercalcemia in patient when treatment failed to control tumor.
【Abstract】ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of xenotransplantation of microencapsulated rabbit parathyroid tissue in different sites in rats for the treatment of hypoparathyroidism. MethodsThe parathyroid glands from Wistar rats were removed to make them aparathyroid. Ultimately, sixteen rats were included because their serum calcium values were continuously below 1.6 mmol/L. We also encapsulated the cultured rabbit parathyroid tissue with alginateBaCl2 microcapsule. According to the transplantation sites, rats were randomly divided into two groups: renal adipose microcapsule group and peritoneal microcapsule group, eight in each group. Encapsulated rabbit parathyroid tissues were then transplanted accordingly to different microcapsule groups. The calcium serum contents were examined on 5，15，25，35，45，55 and 65 d respectively after transplantation and the grafts were observed through electron microscope on the 65 d in particular. ResultsThe calcium contents after transplantation in renal adipose microcapsule group restored to normal and the observation outcomes of grafts showed that they survived well. The calcium contents of posttransplantation in peritoneal group also restored to normal with an exception that it dropped to a level lower than 1.6 mmol/L on the 65 d. Electron microscope also showed that there were necrotic tissues in the center and only a few cells survived on the edge of the grafts. Within peritoneal microcapsule group, the values were significantly lower than others taken at different phases. ConclusionMicroencapsulated rabbit parathyroid tissue that was xenotransplanted into rats can survive and function without administration of immunodepressant. There are significant differences of calcium contents at varying phases between two transplantation sites, which demonstrate that renal adipose may be an optimal site for microcapsule xenotransplantation.
Objective To evaluate whether the classification of parathyroid can be used to evaluate how difficult it is that the parathyroid glands get preserved in situ during thyroid surgery. Methods Clinical date were retrospectively collected from the patients with thyroid nodules, who had undergone the initial thyroidectomy in the Department of Thyroid Surgery, West China Hospital of Sichuan University between January 2014 and June 2016. The number of parathyroid glands was counted according to the classification of parathyroid. It got comparative analysis that the rates of parathyroid glands in situ among the different types. Results A total of 996 patients were included in the study, and 3 269 pieces of parathyroid glands were identified. The mean number of parathyroid identification was 3.3 pieces. These parathyroid glands consisted of 77.5% (2 532/3 269) type A and 22.5% (737/3 269) type B. The rate of parathyroid glands in situ was 77.1% (1 951/2 532) in type A, and 80.7% (595/737) in type B, the difference was significant (P=0.03). And the rate of parathyroid glands in situ in type A1 was significantly higher than that in type A2 (80.5%vs 21.4%,P<0.001). The parathyroid of type A3 couldn’t get preserved in situ. The rate of superior parathyroid glands in situ in type B1 was higher than that in type A1 (97.5%vs 93.7,P<0.01). But the rate of inferior parathyroid glands in type B1 was closed to that in type A1 (62.2%vs 65.7%,P=0.23), and both the rates were significant less than that in type B2 (86.0%) and in type B3 (90.2%),PA1vs B2=0.001,PA1vs B3<0.001,PB1vs B2=0.004,PB1vs B3=0.001. Conclusion The classification of parathyroid can be used to evaluate effectively how difficult it is that the parathyroid glands get preserved in situ during thyroid surgery.
To verify the role of mAbCD28 in allograft transplantation. The biological action of mAbCD28 had been tested in mixed-lymphocyte-reaction and parathyroid gland allotranplantation in rats. Results: mAbCD28 could significantly suppress the proliferation of T cells in vitro and prolong the survival time of allograft in vivo. The results showed that mAbCD28 could block the costimulatory signals transmitted by CD28 molecules, and played an immunosuppressive role in parathyroid gland transplantation in rats.

ObjectiveTo investigate the role of multiple disciplinary team (MDT) during surgical treatment of renal secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT), and identify management points of Departments of Nephrology and Endocrinology.MethodsThe data of patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing surgical treatment for SHPT in West China Hospital of Sichuan University between January 2009 and December 2018 were retrospectively collected. We explained the surgical treatment of MDT in the management of renal SHPT, and compared the changes before and after the establishment of MDT.ResultsA total of 187 patients including 101 males and 86 females were enrolled, with an average age of (47.60±11.28) years old and median dialysis vintage of 7 years. Under MDT, the number of patients with parathyroidectomy increased [(8.50±5.10) vs. (59.50±2.12) patients/year, P<0.001] and the completion rate of preoperative examinations were greatly improved (P<0.001). The success rate of surgery was also increased (86.8% vs. 97.5%, P=0.010). Proportion of patients who were admitted to the Department of Nephrology was significantly increased (39.7% vs. 84.9%, P<0.001). Most patients after surgery were transferred to the Department of Endocrinology (5.9% vs. 77.3%, P<0.001) to manage postoperative complications and metabolic bone disease, and thus normalized the management of SHPT.ConclusionsThe MDT contributes to management of renal SHPT, which is worthy of popularization and spreading. The management of internal medicine departments during surgical treatment of SHPT based on MDT is important, because they can be helpful to complete preoperative examinations and preoperative preparation as well as to alleviate postoperative complications.
Objective To summary the experience in diagnosis and managements for primary hyperparathyroidism（PHPT）. Methods The clinical data of 73 patients with PHPT who underwent parathyroidectomy in our hospital from Jan. 2003 to Dec. 2010 were analyzed retrospectively. Results There were 1 case of hyperplasia （1.4%）， 67 cases of adenoma （91.8%）， and 5 cases of adenocarcinoma （6.8%） among the 73 cases of PHPT. The common presentations involved with pain in bones and joints in 63 cases （86.3%）， pathologic fractures in 17 cases （23.3%）， osteoporosis in 59 cases （80.8%）， fatigue in 28 cases （38.4%）， abdominal pain in 4 cases （5.5%）， urolithiasis in 17 cases （23.3%）， malignant hypertension in 1 case （1.4%） who suffered multi-endocrine neoplasm （MEN）Ⅱa， and so on. The preoperativeserum parathyroid hormone （PTH） abnormally elevated in all 73 patients， and serum calcium abnormally elevated in 59 patients （80.8%）， and alkaline phosphatase abnormally elevated in 62 patients （84.9%） before operation. The positive rate of lesion locations by ultrasonography， CT， 99Tcm-sestamibi （MIBI） scan， and the combination of 3 kinds of tests were 82.8% （53/64）， 83.3% （20/24）， 90.2% （46/51）， and 91.8% （67/73） respectively， but 6 cases were not traced preop-eratively. Parathyroidectomy was conducted to all the cases， besides， regional neck lymphadenectomy was performed for those 5 adenocarcinoma cases. Tetany in 16 cases， hoarseness in 2 cases， acute pancreatitis in 1 case， acute left heart failure in 1 case were observed after operation. Sixty nine cases were follow-up for 3-72 months （average 17.3 months）. During the followed-up period， most of them were alleviated from bone pain （43 cases） and fatigue （18 cases）within 1 month. However， the recovery of PTH and serum calcium back to normality were relatively slow. One case ofadenoma recurred， 1 case of adenocarcinoma suffered lung metastasis， 1 case of adenocarcinoma survived for 37 monthsprior to death for postoperative lung and bone metastasis， the other cases （including 1 case of adenocarcinoma developed from adenoma） were still alive and had no metastasis or recurrence by the end of follow-up. Conclusions The symptoms of PHPT vary and lack of specificity， hence， the enhancement of knowledge to this disease and screenings conducted for parathyroid function and serum calcium will increase the rate of diagnosis. Parathyroidectomy is the effective management for PHPT， and preoperatively accurate position contribute to minimal exploration.
ObjectiveTo assess the clinical efficacy of percutaneous transplantation of parathyroid glands into the subcutaneous tissue of the epigastrium for treating malignant secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT). MethodsThe clinical data of the patients with SHPT who were treated by puncturing the subcutaneous tissue of the epigastrium and transplanting parathyroid glands in the Xuzhou Central Hospital from January 2020 to June 2022 were collected retrospectively. The preoperative and postoperative parathyroid hormone (PTH) level, calcium ion concentration, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) level, and phosphorus ion concentration, as well as postoperative follow-up results were analyzed. The data analysis was conducted using SPSS 23.0 software, with a testing level of 0.01. ResultsA total of 21 patients successfully underwent this surgery, including 12 males and 9 females, with a median age of 48 years old and a range of 32–71 years old. The dialysis time was (8.62±2.27) years, and 12 patients had hypertension, 9 patients had anemia, 17 patients had bone pain, and 11 patients had skin itching. On day 1 after treatment, the PTH level decreased from (1 893.23±539.30) ng/L to (5.99±3.50) ng/L (P<0.001), the calcium ion concentration decreased from (2.52±0.31) mmol/L to (2.24±0.35) mmol/L (P=0.003), and the phosphorus ion concentration decreased from (2.25±0.71) mmol/L to (1.76±0.38) mmol/L (P=0.006) as compared with the values before surgery. Although the ALP level decreased from (321.78±151.01) U/L to (229.32±89.32) U/L, there was no statistically significant difference (P=0.016). Among the 12 patients with hypertension before surgery, 6 patients improved and reduced the use of antihypertensive drugs after surgery; among the 9 patients with anemia, 3 patients improved before discharge; 17 patients with bone pain showed markedly relief before discharge; and 9 patients with skin itching improved before discharge. There were no complications such as hoarseness, choking cough when drinking water, or incision infection after the operation. All 21 patients were followed up for 6–12 months. The parathyroid hormone levels of the 21 patients all dropped to the normal level within 12 months after the operation. Among them, 3 patients recovered to the normal level at the 3rd month after the operation, 16 patients recovered to the normal level at the 6th month after the operation, and 2 patients recovered to the normal level at the 12th month after the operation. The time to return to the normal level was (5.86±2.70) months. No serious complications occurred in all patients, and there was no recurrent case during follow-up period. Conclusion From the analysis results of our study, parathyroid autotransplantation into the subcutaneous tissue of the epigastrium via puncture is a safe and effective method for patients with SHPT.
