Objective To investigate the clinical diagnosis and treatment for primary hyperparathyroidism with concomitant thyroid diseases. Methods The clinical data of 40 cases diagnosed as primary hyperparathyroidism with concomitant thyroid diseases including manifestation, preoperative qualitation and localization, and surgical treatment and results were retrospectively analyzed. Results The 40 cases were composed of 4 parathyroid adenomas with thyroid papillary carcinomas, 28 parathyroid adenomas with nodular goiters, 6 parathyroid adenomas with thyroid adenomas, 1 parathyroid hyperplasia with nodular goiter, and 1 parathyroid carcinoma with thyroid adenoma. The diagnostic sensitivities of localization for primary hyperparathyroidism with concomitant thyroid diseases by ultrasound, by computerized tomography (CT), and by radioisotope (99Tcm) scanning were 82.5% (33/40), 80.0% (32/40) and 90.0% (36/40), respectively, and the combined sensitivity was 97.5% (39/40). The surgical treatments included resection of parathyroid adenoma with subtotal thyroidectomy in 34 cases, resection of parathyroid adenoma with total thyroidectomy in 3 cases, bilateral exploration of parathyroid with subtotal thyroidectomy in 1 case, and unilateral parathyroidectomy with thyroidectomy and neck lymphonodes clearance in 2 cases. ConclusionFor primary hyperparathyroidism with concomitant thyroid diseases, the sensitivity of preoperative localization could be raised by combining ultrasound, CT with radioisotope scanning, and surgical resection is the main treatment, which includes the main operation of resection of parathyroid adenoma with subtotal or total thyroidectomy.
【Abstract】Objective To study the influence of transplantation of cultured parathyroid cells on the survival of the allografts in rats. Methods Parathyroid cells digested with collagenase and trypsin were cultured and transplanted under the left renal capsule. The survival time of the allografts was recorded and the allografts were examined by transmission electron microscopy.Results In fresh parathyroid cells group, the mean survival time was (9.25±3.45) days. While in cultured parathyroid cells group, the survival time was (46.25±7.44) days (P＜0.01). During the 50 days of observation, serum calcium and PTH remained normal in 6 of 8 rats. There were intact parathyroid cells in the allografts which had abundant rough endoplasmic reticula,mitochondria and secretory granules. Conclusion Transplantation of cultured parathyroid cells in rats can prolong the survival time of allografts and is a potent way to cure hypoparathyroidism.
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.
Objective To investigate the function and survival of parathyroid tissue transplanted into the rectus of rat by different pre-treatment. Methods Male，adult Wistar rats （seventy）as donors and adult SD rats （thirty-five）as receptors. Model rats were established by resection of parathyroid and randomly divided into five groups （digital random method）：direct transplantation group， high-oxygen culture group， ciclosporin A （CsA） group， 60Co irradiated group， and integrated treatment group. Each receptor received four PTG from two donors and the PTG were transplanted into the rectus of the receptors. Changes in concentration of serum calcium and PTH at different time points before and after parathyroid transplantation in each group recipient rats were observed. Results Serum calcium and PTH could reach or remain normal level after thyroid tissue transplantation in all groups in 1 week after operation， which significantly differed from those of pre-transplanted （P＜0.01）. The survival time among the five groups were different： the duration for keeping serum calcium and PTH at normal level（only 3 week and 4 weeks）in direct transplantation group was shortest than that in high-oxygen culture group （5 weeks and 8 weeks）， CsA group （6 weeks and 8 weeks）， 60Co irradiated group （5 weeks and 7 weeks）, and integrated treatment group （5 weeks and 9 weeks）. Compared with direct transplantation group， the levels of serum calcium and PTH in high-oxygen culture group，CsA group，60Co irradiated group, and integrated treatment group were significantly higher in 4-9 weeks point （P＜0.05， except high-oxygen culture group in 9 weeks and 60Co irradiated group in 8 weeks after operation had no significant difference）. Compared with integrated treatment group， the levels of serum calcium and PTH in high-oxygen culture group，CsA group， and 60Co irradiated group were significantly lower in 7-9 weeks point （P＜0.05）. Conclusions PTG tissues transplanted in rectus can maintain serum calcium level at normal range，and measurement on graft or receptors can prolong the survival period of parathyroid graft. Tissue transplantation of parathyroid after culture may provide a potent way to cure hypothyroidism.
【Abstract】ObjectiveTo investigate the technique of establishing a model of aparathyroid rat which could be used in the study of parathyroid cells transplantation. Methods Parathyroid glands were surgically excised and identified pathologyically. Serum calcium and parathyroid hormone in rats before operation and on day 2，5，10，15 and 30 after operation were measured. Results Parathyroid glands were resected successfully in 8 rats, and the resection rate was 80% (8/10). No obvious changes of serum calcium and parathyroid hormone levels were found before and after operatiion in sham parathyroid gland excision group (Pgt;0.05). However, statistically significant changes of those data were found perioperatively in parathyroid gland excision group (P＜0.01). Conclusion The model of aparathyroid rat can be established successfully after parathyroid glands in rats are excised exactly. Parathyroid allotransplantation could be performed ten days after parathyriodectomy.
ObjectiveTo explore the value of carbon nanoparticles on surgery for thyroid carcinoma. MethodLiteratures about application of carbon nanoparticles and lymphatic mapping in the thyroid carcinoma were reviewed. ResultsThe carbon nanoparticle was a new lymph tracer with a clear lymphatic mapping and a longer time for dying, which could accurately reflect the status of cervical lymph nodes, trace the sentinel lymph node in the thyroid carcinoma. The parathyroid gland could not be stained black, it was easy to be identified and protected. ConclusionsThe carbon nanoparticle provides an effective help in treatment for thyroid carcinoma. The more extensive and more profound application of lymphatic mapping depends on more clinical study.
