ABSTRACT

Abstract Introduction The most common postoperative complication of total thyroidectomy is hypocalcemia, usually monitored using serum parathyroid hormone and calcium values. Objective To identify the most accurate predictors of hypocalcemia, construct a risk assesment algorithm and analyze the impact of using several calcium correction formulas in practice. Methods A prospective, single-center, non-randomized longitudinal cohort study on 205 patients undergoing total thyroidectomy. Parathyroid hormone, serum, and ionized calcium were sampled post-surgery, with the presence of symptomatic or laboratory-verified asymptomatic hypocalcemia designated as primary outcome measures. Results Parathyroid hormone sampled on the first postoperative day was the most sensitive predictor of symptomatic hypocalcemia development (sensitivity 80.22%, cut-off value ≤ 2.03 pmol/L). A combination of serum calcium and parathyroid concentration sampled on the first postoperative day predicted the development of hypocalcemia during recovery with the highest sensitivity and specificity (94% sensitivity, cut-off ≤2.1 mmol/L, and 89% specificity, cut-off ≤1.55 pmol/L, respectively). The use of algorithms and correction formulas did not improve the accuracy of predicting symptomatic or asymptomatic hypocalcemia. Conclusions The most sensitive predictor of symptomatic hypocalcemia present on the fifth postoperative day was PTH sampled on the first postoperative day. The need for algorithms and correction formulas is limited.

ABSTRACT

Currently, the main treatments for nonfunctional parathyroid cysts (NFPC) are fluid aspiration,sclerosing injection and surgical removal. The choice of treatment method is controversial. Eight patients with NFPC who were treated by simple aspiration combined with parathyroid hormone (PTH) rapid determination in General Surgery Department of Tianjin Medical University General Hospital from Dec. 2020 to Oct. 2022 are reported to provide a reference for the choice of treatment, which can also reduce surgical pain and accidental sclerosing injury.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:Glucocorticoids can inhibit the expression of hub genes in the parathyroid hormone type Ⅰ receptor(PTH1R)/protein kinase A(PKA)signaling axis and interfere with the osteogenic and angiogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells,leading to the disruption of blood supply in bone and bone tissue structures.Previous studies of the research team showed that Gubitongxiao granules can induce blood vessel formation and inhibit osteoblast apoptosis,which has a certain effect on the prevention and treatment of steroid-induced femoral head necrosis. OBJECTIVE:To observe the therapeutic effect of Gubitongxiao granules in a mouse model of steroid-induced femoral head necrosis,and to explore its mechanism from the PTH1R/PKA signaling axis. METHODS:An animal model of steroid-induced necrosis of the femoral head was established by intraperitoneal injection of lipopolysaccharide and gluteal muscle injection of prednisolone acetate.After identification by nuclear magnetic resonance method,60 mice that were successfully modeled were divided into model group,Gubitongxiao granule group and Tongluo Shenggu capsule group,with 20 mice in each group.Another 12 normal mice were used as control group.The corresponding groups were intragastrically given the corresponding drugs for 12 weeks,and then the samples were taken under anesthesia.Histomorphology of femoral head samples was observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining.Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect the serum levels of bone alkaline phosphatase,type Ⅰ amino-terminal extension peptide,parathyroid hormone,osteocalcin and alkaline phosphatase.Western blot and RT-qPCR were used to detect PTH1R,PKA,myocyte enhancer factor 2,sclerostin and guanylate-binding protein activity-stimulating peptide at protein and gene expression levels,respectively. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Gubitongxiao granules may reduce the serum PTH level in mice,inhibit the activation of the PTH1R/PKA signal axis,further up-regulate the protein expressions of sclerostin and myocyte enhancer factor 2,and increase the levels of bone alkaline phosphatase,type Ⅰ amino-terminal extension peptide,osteocalcin and alkaline phosphatase in mice,thus improving femoral head necrosis,which is comparable to the intervention effect of Tongluo Shenggu capsules.It is speculated that Gubitongxiao granules may prevent and treating hormonal femoral head necrosis by regulating the PTH1R/PKA signaling axis.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the relationship between protein-energy wasting (PEW) and parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels in patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted to enroll 150 adult patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis at The Third Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University from January 2022 to May 2023. These patients were categorized into four groups based on their PTH levels: low PTH group (< 150 ng/L), standard PTH group (150-300 ng/L), very high PTH group (300-600 ng/L), and extreme high PTH group (> 600 ng/L). The diagnosis of PEW was determined using the diagnostic criteria proposed by the International Society of Renal Nutrition and Metabolism (ISRNM). Logistic regression analysis was performed to investigate the association between PEW and PTH levels.Results:Among the 150 patients undergoing maintenance dialysis, 52 (34.7%) were diagnosed with PEW. The prevalence of PEW was significantly higher in the low PTH group compared with the standard, very high, and extreme high PTH groups ( χ2 = 20.64, all P < 0.05). Univariate logistic regression analysis revealed a strong association between low PTH levels ( OR = 13.810, 95% CI: 2.907-65.603, P = 0.001) and an increased risk of PEW. The risk of PEW in the low PTH group was 13.810 times higher than that in the extreme high PTH group. Multivariate logistic regression analysis further confirmed that low PTH levels ( OR = 19.891, 95% CI: 1.810-218.620, P = 0.014) and low C-reactive protein levels ( OR = 1.056, 95% CI: 1.015-1.099, P = 0.007) were independently associated with an increased risk of PEW. Higher hemoglobin levels ( OR = 0.959, 95% CI: 0.931-0.988, P = 0.005) and a larger middle upper arm circumference ( OR = 0.544, 95% CI: 0.338-0.875, P = 0.012) were independently associated with a reduced risk of PEW. The risk of PEW in the low PTH group was 19.891 times higher than that in the extreme high PTH group. However, there was no significant difference in the risk of PEW in the standard and very high PTH groups compared with the extreme high PTH group (both P > 0.05). Conclusion:The risk of PEW is markedly elevated in patients with low PTH levels, emphasizing the importance of clinical attention to the prevention and treatment of low PTH levels. Addressing this issue may hold great value in reducing the risk of PEW.

ABSTRACT

Abstract This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the association between developmental defects of enamel (DDE) and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the genes encoding the vitamin D receptor (VDR) and parathyroid hormone (PTH). Orthodontic patients receiving treatment at a dental school were selected through convenience sampling. Intra-oral photographs were used to assess DDE, which were classified according to the criteria proposed by Ghanim et al. (2015) by a single calibrated examiner (Kappa>0.80). Enamel hypoplasia, molar-incisor hypomineralization (MIH), hypomimineralized second primary molar (HSPM), and non-MIH/HSPM demarcated opacities were considered for the analysis. Genomic DNA was extracted from buccal cells. The SNPs in VDR (rs7975232) and PHT (rs694, rs6256, and rs307247) were genotyped using real-time polymerase chain reactions (PCR). Statistical analyses were performed using the PLINK software (version 1.03, designed by Shaun Purcell, EUA). Chi-square or Fisher's exact tests were performed at a significance level of 5%. Ninety-one (n=91) patients (49 females and 42 males) (mean age of 14.1±5.8 years) were included. The frequency of DDE was 38.5% (35 patients). Genotype distributions were in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. No significant statistical association was found between DDE and the SNPs evaluated. A borderline association (p=0.09) was observed between DDE and the CC haplotype for SNP rs7975232 in VDR. In conclusion, the selected SNPs in VDR and PTH genes were not associated with DDE in the studied samples.


Resumo Este estudo transversal teve como objetivo investigar a associação entre defeitos de desenvolvimento do esmalte (DDE) e polimorfismos de nucleotídeo único (SNPs) nos genes que codificam o receptor da vitamina D (VDR) e o hormônio da paratireoide (PTH). Pacientes ortodônticos em tratamento em uma escola Odontologia foram selecionados por amostragem de conveniência. Os DDEs foram avaliados e classificados por um examinador calibrado (Kappa>0,80) através de fotografias intraorais de acordo com os critérios propostos por Ghanim et al. (2015). Os tipos de DDE considerados para análise foram: hipoplasia de esmalte, hipomineralização molar-incisivo (HMI), hipomineralização de segundos molares decíduos (HSMD) e opacidades demarcadas não-HMI/HSMD. O DNA gnômico foi extraído de células bucais. Os SNPs em VDR (rs7975232) e PTH (rs694, rs6256 e rs307247) foram genotipados por PCR em tempo real. As análises estatísticas foram realizadas utilizando o software PLINK (versão 1.03, concebido por Shaun Purcell, EUA). Foram feitos teste de qui-quadrado e teste exato de Fisher com um nível de significância de 5%. Foram incluídos noventa e um (n=91) pacientes (49 do sexo feminino e 42 do sexo masculino) (idade média de 14,1±5,8 anos). A frequência de DDE foi de 38,5% (35 pacientes). As distribuições genotípicas estavam em equilíbrio de Hardy-Weinberg. Não foi encontrada associação estatisticamente significante entre os DDEs e os SNPs avaliados. Foi observada uma associação limítrofe (p=0,09) entre a DDE e o haplótipo CC para o SNP rs7975232 no VDR. Em conclusão, os SNPs seleccionados nos genes VDR e PTH não foram associados à DDE nas amostras estudadas.

ABSTRACT

Contexto: Las fracturas óseas en pacientes en hemodiálisis son frecuentes y agregan una grave incapacidad y morbimortalidad; se han relacionado a alteraciones óseo-minerales, aunque su asociación con las alteraciones de la hormona paratiroidea es controversial. Objetivo: determinar la relación entre hormona paratiroidea intacta (PTH) alterada y fracturas óseas en pacientes en hemodiálisis. Metodología: se realizó un estudio transversal y analítico en 250 pacientes en hemodiálisis atendidos en el Hospital Víctor Lazarte Echegaray (La Libertad, Perú) entre el 2015 y el 2020. Los pacientes se clasificaron de acuerdo con su valor de PTH (alterada si PTH 300 pg/ml) y la presentación de fracturas óseas. La asociación entre PTH alterada y la presencia de fracturas óseas se determinó al usar un análisis bivariado y multivariado; los resultados se presentan como odds ratio (OR) considerando un valor p significativo si < 0,05. Resultados: se evaluaron 250 pacientes, 69 tuvieron PTH alterada (27,6 %) y 181 tuvieron PTH normal (72,4 %); asimismo, 42 tenían fracturas óseas (16,8 %) y 208 no tenían fracturas óseas (83,2 %). De los 42 pacientes con fracturas óseas, 22 presentaron PTH alterada (52,4 %) y 20 PTH normal (47,6 %); de los 208 pacientes sin fracturas óseas, 47 presentaron PTH alterada (22,6 %) y 161 PTH normal (p = 0,001) (77,4 %). Así, tener PTH alterada se asoció a la presencia de fracturas óseas con un OR de 3,77 (IC 95 %: 1,90-7,49) en el análisis bivariado y un OR de 2,85 (IC 95 %: 1,19-6,82) en el análisis multivariado. Las covariables que se asociaron a presencia de fracturas óseas fueron: tener más de 60 años (OR: 2,74, IC 95 %: 1,12-6,69) y tener más de cinco años en hemodiálisis (OR: 6,72, IC 95 %: 2,98-15,13). Conclusiones: la hormona paratiroidea alterada se relaciona con fracturas óseas en pacientes en hemodiálisis.


Background: Bone fractures in patients on dialysis are frequent and impose a high burden of disability and multimorbidity. They have been linked to mineral-bone disorders but its association with parathyroid hormone remains controversial. Purpose: To determine the relationship between altered parathyroid hormone (PTH) and bone fractures in hemodialysis patients. Metthodology: A cross-sectional, analytical study was conducted in 250 hemodialysis patients attending Hospital Víctor Lazarte Echegaray from 2015 to 2020. Patients were classified according to whether their PTH was altered (PTH 300 pg/ml) and whether bone fractures were present. The association between altered PTH and the presence of bone fractures was determined using bivariate and multivariate analysis; the results are presented as odds ratio (OR) considering a significant p-value if <0.05. Results: 250 patients were evaluated in which 69 (27.6%) had altered PTH, 181 (72.4%) had normal PTH; likewise, 42 (16.8%) had bone fractures and 208 (83.2%) had no bone fractures. Of the 42 patients with bone fractures, 22 (52.4%) had altered PTH and 20 (47.6%) had normal PTH; of the 208 patients without bone fractures, 47 (22.6%) had altered PTH and 161 (77.4%) had normal PTH (p=0.001). Altered PTH was associated with the presence of bone fractures with OR: 3.77 (95% CI: 1.90-7.49) in the bivariate analysis and with OR: 2.85 (95% CI: 1.19-6.82) in the multivariate analysis. The covariates that were associated with the presence of bone fractures were being over 60 years (OR: 2.74, 95% CI: 1.12-6.69) and having been on hemodialysis for more than 5 years (OR: 6.72, 95% CI: 2.98-15.13). Conclusions: Altered parathyroid hormone is related with bone fractures in hemodialysis patients.

ABSTRACT

Se ha propuesto la medición de PTH como predictor de hipocalcemia postoperatoria transitoria y permanente. No hay un estándar de punto de corte o tiempo de toma de muestra. El OBJETIVO es reportar la incidencia de hipocalcemia post tiroidectomía en un grupo quirúrgico de alto volumen y proponer un protocolo de manejo ambulatorio (esquemas de I a V) según niveles postoperatorios (PO) de calcemia, PTHi (normal, baja o indetectable) y síntomas. Y determinar valores de PTH postoperatoria como predictores de hipocalcemia. En 106 pacientes con tiroidectomía total entre 2019 y 2021 se realiza medición de niveles pre y postoperatorios de calcio, magnesio, fosforo y PTHi. Se observó 29% y 1% de hipocalcemia transitoria ( 12 meses). Los puntos de corte para predecir hipocalcemia fueron PTH < 8,8 pg/ml y < 80% de descenso de % de PTH (d % PTH) al día siguiente. Con el manejo propuesto se indica el alta precoz (promedio 1.05 días) y el costo de la prescripción es acotado. No hay asociación significativa de hipomagnesemia e hiperfosfemia PO con la hipocalcemia PO. El tratamiento más utilizado es de carbonato de calcio exclusivo (esquemas I y II). Los pacientes se mantienen con síntomas leves a las 2 semanas PO en 5% y logran suspender el tratamiento vía oral en 93% en este mismo período. Los protocolos de medición de PTH como predictor de hipocalcemia son muy variados. Cada centro debe conocer y establecer sus propios protocolos de manejo. Con esta experiencia demostramos la utilidad y seguridad de un esquema de manejo basado en calcemia, PTH (normal, baja o indetectable) y síntomas, con indicación de tratamiento profiláctico para todos los pacientes y ajuste ambulatorio seguro y de menor costo que una hospitalización prolongada.


INTRODUCTION: PTH measurement has been proposed to predict transient and permanent postoperative hypocalcemia. There is no standard cut-off point or time for sampling. Aim: To report the incidence of post-thyroidectomy hypocalcemia in a high-volume surgical group and propose an outpatient management protocol according to postoperative (PO) calcium levels, iPTH (normal, low, or undetectable), and symptoms. Furthermore, determine postoperative PTH values as predictors of hypocalcemia. Methods: In 106 patients with total thyroidectomy between 2019 and 2021, pre-and postoperative levels of calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, and iPTH were measured. Results: Transient ( 12 months) hypocalcemia was observed in 29% and 1%. Cut-off points to predict hypocalcemia were PTH < 8.8 pg/mL and < 80% decrease in % PTH (d% PTH) the day after surgery. With the proposed management, early discharge is indicated (an average of 1.05 days), and the prescription cost is limited. There is no significant association between PO hypomagnesemia and hyperphosphatemia with PO hypocalcemia. The most widely used treatment is exclusive calcium carbonate (schemes I and II). Patients remain with mild symptoms at two weeks PO in 5% and discontinue oral treatment in 93% in this period. Conclusions: Protocols for measuring PTH as a hypocalcemia predictor vary. Each center must know and establish its management protocols. With this experience, we demonstrate the usefulness and safety of a management scheme based on calcium, PTH (normal, low, or undetectable), and symptoms with an indication of prophylactic treatment for all patients and a safe outpatient setting at a lower cost than prolonged hospitalization.

ABSTRACT

Background: One of the most prevalent chronic liver ailments is non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The correction of numerous genes connected to various metabolic diseases depends heavily on Vitamin D. Aims and Objectives: This investigation was intended to look at the relationships among those with NAFLD serum levels of Vitamin D, parathyroid hormone (PTH), insulin, and insulin resistance (IR). Materials and Methods: Two hundred and fifty patients with NAFLD and 250 age-matched participants without NAFLD served as the study’s control group. Serum Vitamin D, PTH, insulin, and fasting blood glucose (FBG) levels were measured after 8–12 h of not eating or drinking. By controlling for the independent factors, the multivariate logistic regression analysis model was utilized to assess the relationship between Vitamin D, PTH, and IR in the occurrence of NAFLD. Results: When compared to controls, patients with NAFLD had significantly lower serum Vitamin D levels and higher levels of PTH, insulin, and FBG (P = 0.001). Confounders had no impact on the association between NAFLD and the lower Vitamin D readings. Conclusions: Our findings demonstrated that raised insulin and IR values and lower serum Vitamin D concentrations were each independently related with an increased risk of having NAFLD.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To comparae the accuracy of imaging examination in preoperative parathyroid localization, and the safety and effect of total parathyroidectomy on secondary hyperparathyroidism complicated by chronic renal failure.Method:A total of 257 patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism who underwent total parathyroidectomy at the Department of General Surgery , Zhongshan Hospital, Dalian University from Mar 2012 to Mar 2022 were analyzed retrospectively.Result:Six hundred fourty parathyroid glands were found by color Doppler ultrasound and 954 parathyroid glands were by enhanced CT before the operation. Among them, the number of patients with accurate location of all 4 parathyroid glands by color Doppler ultrasound was 54, while that by enhanced CT was 216. The parathyroid detection rate by enhanced CT was significantly higher than that of color Doppler ultrasound ( χ2=325.480, P<0.001), and the accuracy rate was significantly higher tnan that of color ultrasound ( χ2=215.146, P<0.001). The average values of iPTH before operation, on the day after operation, on the 1st day and 7th day after operation were (1 880±890), (137±82), (66±46) and (34±23) pg/ml, respectively. The clinical symptoms of all patients were significantly relieved. Conclusions:Enhanced CT is superior to color Doppler ultrasound in the overall detection rate and individual localization accuracy of preoperative parathyroid localization. Total parathyroidectomy is safe and reliable in the treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism complicated by chronic renal failure.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the probability, influencing factors, and management strategies of the re-increase of parathyroid hormone (PTH) in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) after successful surgery.Methods:A retrospective analysis of the clinical data of 40 pHPT patients treated at Beijing Tsinghua Chang Gung Hospital from Jan 2016 to Mar 2021 was conducted.Results:Of the 40 pHPT patients, 21 (53%) experienced a re-increase of PTH after surgery, but their serum calcium levels were normal and no new parathyroid lesions were found on neck ultrasonography. Univariate analysis showed that there were significant differences in tumor diameter, preoperative PTH level, preoperative serum calcium level, and preoperative alkaline phosphatase level between the postoperative PTH re-increase group and the normal group ( t=-2.042, P=0.045; t=-2.600, P=0.013; t=-2.223, P=0.043; t=-2.162, P=0.037). Regression analysis showed that preoperative PTH level >236 ng/L was an independent risk factor for postoperative PTH re-increase ( OR=5.180, 95% CI: 1.032-25.995). Vitamin D deficiency was common among pHPT patients (88%), and there was a negative correlation between preoperative PTH and 25-hydroxy vitamin D levels. After vitamin D supplementation, the PTH levels of four patients with postoperative PTH re-increase returned to normal. Conclusions:The probability of PTH re-increase in pHPT patients after successful parathyroidectomy was 53%, and most cases occurred in the short term after surgery (within 8 weeks), but it did not indicate disease recurrence. A higher preoperative PTH level was an independent risk factor for postoperative PTH re-increase. Vitamin D deficiency was more common among pHPT patients, and correction of vitamin D deficiency can help restore normal PTH levels after surgery.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the clinical characteristics of paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia (PKD) secondary to pseudohypoparathyroidism (PHP), so as to improve the clinicians′ understanding of the disease.Methods:The clinical data of 2 cases of PKD secondary to PHP in Beijing Tiantan Hospital, Capital Medical University from June 2022 to October 2022 were summarized, and the related literature was reviewed to analyze the pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, laboratory examination and imaging characteristics of the disease, as well as its treatment and prognosis.Results:Ten cases of PKD secondary to PHP were previously reported. A total of 12 cases (including these 2 cases) were included in the study, of which 7 were males (7/12) and 5 were females (5/12). The onset age was 8-23 years. The clinical manifestations of the disease included paroxysmal limb torsion, limb stiffness, limb tremor, throwing movements, and dance like movements. There were 3 cases (3/12) who had seizure at the same time. Ten cases (10/12) were induced by exercise, while 2 cases (2/12) were not mentioned the inducing factor. Eleven cases (11/12) with paroxysmal symptoms lasting less than 2 minutes can be relieved automatically. Only 1 case had a family history. Laboratory examination of all patients showed low calcium, high phosphorus and significant elevation of parathyroid hormone. The head CT scans of 10 cases (10/12) showed multiple intracranial calcifications. There were 9 cases (9/12) alone received the supplementation of calcium and active vitamin D, while 3 cases (3/12) were additionally treated with antiepileptic drugs. All cases had good prognosis.Conclusions:PHP is a rare cause of secondary PKD. A small number of patients can have seizures at the same time. Most patients have a good prognosis after receiving calcium and active vitamin D supplementation.

ABSTRACT

Parathyroid carcinoma (PC) is a rare endocrine malignancy. We report a case of lung metastases of PC in a maintenance hemodialysis patient with renal allograft loss and review the relevant literature. The patient developed hyperparathyroid hormone and hypercalcemia 4 years after hemodialysis treatment. CT examination showed that a round-shaped, soft tissue density shadow without typical enhancement was located in infero-posterior left lobe of thyroid gland. Dual-phase 99mTc-MIBI parathyroid imaging showed abnormal 99mTc-MIBI uptake behind the left lobe of the thyroid gland on both early and delayed imaging. The patient underwent subtotal parathyroidectomy under general anesthesia. Histopathological diagnosis was parathyroid adenoma and parathyroid hyperplasia. The serum parathyroid hormone decreased significantly, but remained above normal, and the serum calcium returned to normal range after the surgery. However, the parathyroid hormone level gradually increased several months after the surgery. 99mTc-MIBI parathyroid imaging showed multiple low-density nodules with increased uptake of 99mTc-MIBI in superior lobe of both lungs one year after the surgery. Ultimately, pulmonary metastasis of PC was confirmed by pathological examination.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the relationship between parathyroid hormone(PTH) level and permanent hypoparathyroidism(PHPP) on the first day after radical papillary thyroidectomy, and its predictive value. Methods:A total of 80 patients with papillary thyroid cancer who underwent total thyroid resection and central lymph node dissection were collected and analyzed from January 2021 to January 2022. According to whether PHPP occurred after surgery, the patients were divided into hypoparathyroidism group and normal parathyroid function group, and univariate and binary logistics regression were used to analyze the correlation between PTH and serum calcium levels and PHPP on the first day after surgery in two groups. The dynamic changes of PTH at different time points after operation were analyzed. The area under the receiver operating characteristic was used to evaluate the predictive power of PTH on the development of PHPP after surgery. Results:Among the 80 patients with papillary thyroid cancer, 10 cases developed PHPP, with an incidence rate of 12.5%. Binary logistics regression analysis showed that PTH on the first postoperative day(OR=14.534, 95%CI: 2.377-88.858, P=0.004) was an independent predictive risk factor for postoperative PHPP. Taking PTH=8.75 ng/L on the first postoperative day as the cut-off value, the AUC of the area under the curve was 0.874(95%CI: 0.790-0.958, P<0.001), the sensitivity was 71.4%, the specificity was 100%, and the Yoden index was 0.714. Conclusion:PTH level on the first day after total thyroid papillary carcinoma surgery is closely related to PHPP, and is an independent predictor of PHPP.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To correlate serum 25-hydroxylvitamin D and parathyroid hormone levels with hypertension in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.Methods:A total of 100 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus admitted to Siming Branch, the First Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen University, China from February 2018 to August 2020 were included in this study. These patients were stratified according to hypertension, and serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D level. The correlation between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D and parathyroid hormone and hypertension was analyzed.Results:Among the 100 patients with type 2 diabetes meliitus, 25 patients had grade 1 hypertension, 30 patients had grade 2 hypertension, 45 patients had grade 3 hypertension, 5 patients (5%) had sufficient levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D, 10 patients (10%) had insufficient levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D, 85 patients (85%) had inadequate levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D. Serum levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D in patients with grade 1, grade 2, and grade 3 hypertension were (12.18 ± 2.52) μg/L, (12.45 ± 2.39) μg/L, (10.33 ± 1.26) μg/L, respectively, and parathyroid hormone levels were (36.48 ± 0.25) ng/L, (41.15 ± 0.39) ng/L, and (47.52 ± 1.44) ng/L, respectively. As blood pressure increased, the patient's serum levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D increased first and then decreased, while parathyroid hormone levels gradually increased. However, there were no statistically significant differences in serum levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D and parathyroid hormone between patients of different hypertension grades ( F = 0.96, 1.93, both P > 0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that hypertension in type 2 diabetes patients was correlated with age, body mass index, serum 25 hydroxyvitamin D level, glycated hemoglobin and parathyroid hormone level ( OR = 1.076, 1.266, 0.937, 1.257, 1.000, all P < 0.05). Conclusion:The serum levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D and parathyroid hormone in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus are related to hypertension.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the effects of hemodialysis combined with hemoperfusion on parathyroid hormone in elderly patients with renal bone disease.Methods:A total of 160 elderly patients with renal bone disease treated in our hospital between March 2020 and March 2021 were recruited as research subjects and divided into an observation group and a control group, with 80 people in each group.The control group was given routine hemodialysis treatment, 3 times a week.The observation group was treated with hemoperfusion, twice a month, in addition to treatment given to the control group.After continuous dialysis and hemoperfusion treatment for 6 months, the clinical efficacy, serum calcium, serum phosphorus, total parathyroid hormone, renal function indexes, bone metabolism indexes and the incidence of adverse reactions in the two groups were statistically analyzed.Results:The overall rate of effectiveness in the observation group(92.5%, 74 cases)was higher than that in the control group(81.3%, 65 cases), and the difference was statistically significant( χ2=6.699, P=0.035). After treatment, the level of serum calcium in the observation group was higher than that in the control group, while the levels of serum phosphorus and whole parathyroid hormone in the observation group were lower than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant( t=8.59, 8.96, 9.21, P=0.023, 0.001, 0.001); After treatment, the levels of β 2 microglobulin(β 2-MG)(BUN)in the observation group were lower than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant( t=5.29, P=0.036). As for values of bone metabolism indexes in the observation group after treatment, the levels of, N-MIDOs, β-Crossl and PINP were lower than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant( t=7.26, 6.16, 8.23; P=0.007, 0.018, 0.003). During treatment, the incidences of adverse reactions in the observation group and the control group were 20.00%(16/80)and 18.75%(15/80), respectively, with no statistical significance( χ2=0.725, P=0.615). Conclusions:Hemodialysis combined with hemoperfusion in the treatment of elderly patients with renal bone disease has a clear efficacy, can increase the level of serum calcium, reduce the levels of serum phosphorus and whole parathyroid hormone, and also can reduce the levels such as β 2-MG and bone metabolism indexes such as N-MIDOs, β-Crossl and PINP, indicating that this therapy can effectively improve calcium and phosphorus metabolism for elderly patients, delay the development of renal osteopathy, and should be recommended in clinical practice.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the application value of standardized outcomes in nephrology hemodialysis (SONG-HD) scale in evaluating the fatigue level of patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients and the factors that affect fatigue.Methods:A total of 201 patients undergoing regular MHD who received treatment in the Department of Nephrology, The First Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen University in April 2021 were included in April, 2021. The SONG-HD scale was used to evaluate patient's fatigue level. Fatigue was assessed using face-to-face interview questionnaire. Clinical and laboratory indicators were analyzed. Univariate logistic regression analysis and multivariate logistic regression analysis were performed to analyze the factors that affect fatigue of patients undergoing MHD.Results:Among the 201 MHD patients, 73.1% (147/201) had fatigue. The high-sensitivity C-reactive protein and parathyroid hormone levels in patients with fatigue were 0.91 (0.30, 3.63) mg/L and 216.00 (141.00, 347.00) ng/L, respectively, which were significantly higher than 0.40 (0.30, 2.01) mg/L and 153.00 (96.73, 308.50) ng/L in patients who had no fatigue ( Z = 2.12, 2.17, both P < 0.05). The pre-dialysis carbon dioxide binding capacity and blood albumin levels in patients who had fatigue were (21.03 ± 2.65) mmol/L and (36.76 ± 3.20) g/L, respectively, which were significantly lower than (22.68 ± 3.01) mmol/L and (38.61 ± 2.85) g/L in patients who had no fatigue ( t = 3.77, 3.73, both P < 0.05). Univariate logistic regression analysis showed that high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, pre-dialysis carbon dioxide binding capacity, serum albumin level, and parathyroid hormone level were related to the occurrence of fatigue in patients undergoing MHD ( Wald = 4.32, 12.39, 12.23, 4.66, all P < 0.05). Additionally, in a multivariate model adjusted for confounding factors, the independent risk factors for fatigue in patients undergoing MHD were relatively low pre-dialysis carbon dioxide binding capacity and serum albumin level ( Wald = 12.41, 11.67, both P < 0.05). Conclusion:The incidence of fatigue is high in patients undergoing MHD. The SONG-HD scale is convenient to use in assessing the fatigue level of patients undergoing MHD. After adjusting for confounding factors, fatigue in patients undergoing MHD is associated with reduced levels of pre-dialysis carbon dioxide binding capacity and serum albumin.
