Objective: To investigate the effectiveness and safety of CT-guided percutaneous radiofrequency ablation for the treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) in chronic renal failure. Methods: Thirty patients with SHPT in our hospital were selected as the study subjects. Preoperative CT examinations confirmed that there were 1 to 4 hyperplastic parathyroid tissues. Under the guidance of CT, radiofrequency ablation of the hyperplastic parathyroid tissues was performed to detect ablation The levels of PTH, blood Ca, and blood P before and after 10 min, 1 d, 1 week, 1 month, 6 months, and 1 year of ablation were observed to observe the improvement of clinical symptoms and the occurrence of complications. Results: First, the patients' blood PTH levels at 10 min, 1 d, 1 week, 1 month, 6 months, and 1 year after ablation were significantly lower than those before the ablation (P < 0.05); 10 min, 1 d, Blood Ca levels at 1 week, 1 month, 6 months, and 1 year were significantly lower than those before ablation (P < 0.05); 10 min, 1 d, 1 week, 1 month, 6 months, and 1 month after ablation The blood P level in 2015 was significantly lower than that before ablation (P < 0.05). Second, the symptoms of bone pain, itching of the skin, muscle weakness, and anorexia were significantly improved after ablation, and hoarseness occurred in 3 cases. The rate was 10%, all of which remitted spontaneously within 1 week after operation; 2 cases of severe hypocalcemia occurred with a rate of 6.6%. All patients had remission after timely calcium supplementation, and all patients did not relapse. Conclusion: CT-guided percutaneous radiofrequency ablation is a safe and effective method for the treatment of SHPT, which can significantly improve the symptoms of renal bone disease and improve the quality of life.

Abstract Purpose The assessment of the quality of life (QoL) of patients with chronic diseases before and after medical interventions has gained increasing importance in recent decades. Particularly for patients with visible keloid scars in the head and neck region, standardized measurement tools are either absent or have been shown to be insufficient. The aim of the present study was to create a new standardized questionnaire that is specific to auricular keloid patients and reflects their clinical symptoms and QoL. Methods The Keloid Intervention Benefit Inventory 21 (KIBI-21) questionnaire was developed in two stages. First, a group of experts identified a pool of 26 questions and modified and supplemented the items through a comparison with existing QoL assessments so that they related to keloid-specific clinical symptoms and the QoL of patients with auricular keloids before and after a medical intervention. This questionnaire was distributed to 27 outpatients who had undergone medical interventions for visible auricular keloids. Second, a sequential statistical analysis was conducted. This included a single-item assessment and reduction, analysis for internal consistency, construct validity, and divergence validity as well as a factor analysis. The analyses were performed for the entire questionnaire and for the items in the subcategories General Health, Physical Symptoms, Self-Esteem, and Social Impact. Results The final version of this newly validated and standardized KIBI questionnaire consisted of 21 items, of which each item was assigned to only one subscale. The questionnaire showed a Cronbach's α of 0.84 with a good internal consistency. In the item correlation validity, strong associations were found in all subscales, except for the Social Impact Subscale. Conclusion The keloid-specific QoL questionnaire KIBI-21 proved to be a reliable and reproducible instrument to assess the QoL and clinical symptoms in patients suffering from auricular keloids before and after a medical treatment.

Percutaneous radiofrequency ablation is a safe and effective minimally invasive treatment option in selected patients with T1a tumors of the kidney with a low complication rate. We describe two cases that developed the rare but severe complication of thermal injury-induced strictures of the upper urinary tract and its consecutive management.
