Objective To observe and evaluate the effect of ultrasound guided percutaneous ethanol injection for hyperparathyroidism secondary to chronic renal failure. Methods Fifty-three patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism in Nanjing General Hospital Military Command from January 2011 to May 2013 were treated by percutaneous ethanol injection. The echogenicity, size and blood supply of parathyroid glands were observed by color Doppler ultrasound before and after treatment. Parathyroid hormone (PTH) and volumes of parathyroid glands were analyzed and compared with non-paired t test. Results Before treatment, the parathyroid gland volume was (5.28±0.84) cm3. The enlarged parathyroid glands had homogeneous hypoechogenicity and abundant blood supply, and the PTH was (1041.6±37.1) ng/L. After treatment, the size of solitary parathyroid gland was (3.93±0.67) cm3 which did not change significantly compared with that before treatment. The echogenicity of parathyroid glands enhanced and blood supply decreased after injection ethanol into solitary parathyroid. PTH [(509.2±27.6) ng/L] decreased obviously (t=3.792, P < 0.05). Conclusion Color Doppler ultrasound guided percutaneous injection of ethanol has an important role in the treating of secondary hyperparathyroidism and the curative effect can be observed timely.

To investigate the value of the guidance of three dimensional (3-D) reconstruction of multi-slice spiral CT (MSCT) for the placement of pedicle screws, the 3-D anatomical data of the thoracic pedicles were measured by MSCT in two embalmed human cadaveric thoracic pedicles spines (T1-T10) to guide the insertion of pedicle screws. After pulling the screws out, the pathways were filled with contrast media. The PW, PH, TSA and SSA of developed pathways were measured on the CT images and they were also measured on the real objects by caliper and goniometer. Analysis of variance demonstrated that the difference between the CT scans and real objects had no statistical significance (P > 0.05). Moreover, the difference between pedicle axis and developed pathway also had no statistical significance (P > 0.05). The data obtained from 3-D reconstruction of MSCT demonstrated that individualized standards, are not only accurate but also helpful for the successful placement of pedicle screws.
