The aim of the study was to present a clinical picture, treatment and prognosis regarding patients who developed acute respiratory failure (ARF) while treated surgically for a goiter. Material and methods. A total of 3810 patients were treated for goiters between 2008 to 2013. Symptoms of postoperative ARF were recognized in 39 (1%) patients. Results. Symptoms of postoperative ARF were a postoperative hemorrhage in 31 (79.4%), lymphorrhagia in 1 (2.6%), bilateral paralysis of recurrent laryngeal nerves in 6 (15.4%) and acute circulatory – respiratory failure in 1 (2.6%). Postoperative hemorrhage appeared in 19 patients operated for nodular goiter, 4 with a retrosternal nodular goiter, 1x nontoxic recurrent retrosternal nodular goiter, 1x toxic recurrent retrosternal goiter nodular goiter, 2x Graves'goiter and 4x with malignant goiter. The cause of hemorrhage was parenchymal bleeding from the stumps and / or short neck muscles (29x), arterial bleeding (1x) and bleeding into the subcutaneous tissue (1x). Massive lymphorrhagia appeared as a result of damage to the thoracic duct after total thyroidectomy due to papillary thyroid carcinoma with cervical lymph node dissection on the left side. All patients who were diagnosed with bilateral paralysis of RLN, tracheostomy was performed. Of all 39 patients who underwent surgery two died – one in 6 days after surgery due to myocardial infarction, and another as a result of micropulmonary embolism and acute circulatory – respiratory failure in 18 hours after surgery. Conclusions. 1. The most frequent causes of acute respiratory failure in postoperative period are a hemorrhage from the operation site and bilateral paralysis of recurrent laryngeal nerves. 2. Acute postoperative respiratory failure is an indication for postoperative wound revision

The aim of the study was intraoperative assessment of surgical treatment used for primary hyperparathyroidism (PH) basing on immediate histopathological findings and of parathormone (PTH) concentrations in blood serum, the latter being determined before and after removal of the affected parathyroid glands.Material and methods. The study group consisted of 110 patients: 85 women and 25 men aged 16-72 years (mean 49.3), treated surgically for PH or its recurrence. Each patient was operated together with bilateral neck exploration. The identified parathyroid glands were assessed. The operation was considered successful if the cause of PH could be confirmed by intraoperative histopathological examination, and PTH level was found lower than 50% of its preoperative value. Negative results of intraoperative tests were considered an indication for wider exploration of the neck or another full imaging diagnostics in order to decide about reoperation.Results. Parathyroid adenoma was detected in 85 (77.3%) patients, proliferation of the gland in 18 (16.4%) and parathyroid cancer in 7 (6.3%). Basing on intraoperative microscopic and immunochemical examinations, the surgical treatment was found successful in 107 (97.3%) patients. PTH concentration was found normal in 94 patients, and significantly lower in 13. The operation was assessed as unsuccessful in 3 (2.7%) patients (2x recurrence of parathyroid cancer, 1x proliferation of parathyroid glands). A non-significant PTH drop was noted in 1 patient, and PTH increase in 2. One patient died because of disseminated tumor disease, and 2 patients received another imaging diagnostics and reoperation with good result.Conclusions. 1. Positive result of intraoperative histopathological examination together with a significant drop in parathormone concentration in peripheral blood serum are essential for successful surgical treatment of PH. 2. Negative results of microscopic and immunochemical examinations are an indication for wider neck exploration. If further procedure is still unsuccessful, a more profound imaging diagnostics is necessary followed by reoperation.

The aim of the study was to analyze the gene expression of JUN and CCND1 in a group of parathyroid tissues obtained from patients with primary hyperparathyroidism in comparison to hyperplastic parathyroid and normal/atrophic parathyroid tissues by real-time quantitative PCR. Our goal was to validate the conclusion of Forsberg et al (2005) who reported overexpression of JUN in parathyroid adenomas by a joint microarray and QPCR study.Material and methods. The analysis of JUN, CCND1 was carried out by QPCR in 14 parathyroid adenomas, 8 hyperplasia cases and 50 normal/atrophic parathyroid samples taken intraoperatively. Expression of the examined genes was normalized to the reference index (geometric mean of reference genes expression: EIF3S10, UBE2D2, ATP6V1E).Results. We observed a decrease of JUN expression in parathyroid adenomas in comparison to both normal/atrophic and hyperplastic parathyroids. The fold change value was 0.71 in comparison of adenomas to normal/atrophic samples (p = 0.044) and 0.75 to hyperplastic glands (p = 0.003). For CCND1 we observed one case of parathyroid adenoma with a very clearly increased expression, while 3 adenomas (21.4% of all adenomas) exhibited the increase over the highest value seen in normal parathyroids (fold change = 3.52).Conclusions. In parathyroid adenomas we were not able to confirm any overexpression of JUN gene, as suggested by the previous study. On the contrary, we observed a distinct inhibition of JUN RNA expression in comparison to non-neoplastic parathyroids. For CCND1 gene overexpression in parathyroid adenomas, we report the frequency of 21.4%.
