Abstract：Objective To investigate the protective effect of activated nano carbon on the parathyroid glands in thyroidec-tomy of patients with benign huge goiter.Methods Ninety-eight patients who would undergo thyroidectomy of benign huge goi-ter were divided into two groups according to the admission number:the experimental group which was injected activated nano carbon into the thyroid during thyroidectomy, and the control group without any injection.Parathyroid function was compared in two groups with 6-month follow-up.Results In the resected tissue samples, 3 patients were found parathyroid excision in the experimental group, and 9 in the control group;transient hypoparathyroidism occurred in 4 patients of the experimental group and 11 in the control group (all P<0.05);permanent hypoparathyroidism occurred in 0 patient of the experimental group and 1 in the control group (P>0.05).The recovery time of transient hypoparathyroidism in the experimental group was significantly shor-ter than that of the control group (P<0.05).The 24-hour parathyroid hormone (PTH) and the blood calcium in the experimen-tal group were higher than those of the control group (all P<0.05).Conclusion In the thyroidectomy of patients with benign huge goiter, the negative staining effect of activated nano carbon helps to identify and locate the parathyroid glands , and thyroid injection of nano carbon is a safe and effective method for protecting the parathyroid function.
