Objective: To evaluate the heating effect of microwave irradiation on the dog adrenal gland and to assess the clinical feasibility of microwave ablation of adrenal tumours.
Materials And Methods: The thermal distribution and histology were evaluated after dog adrenal glands were irradiated at different intensities with microwaves. Irradiation at 70 W for 30 s was also performed after laparotomy, on the adrenal tumour of a patient with primary aldosteronism.
Results: Microwave irradiation at 70 W for 30 s provided a sufficiently high temperature to produce coagulation within a 5 mm radius of the microwave electrode. The adrenal tumor in the patient with primary aldosteronism was coagulated successfully by this dose of microwave irradiation.
Conclusion: Microwave ablation of the adrenal gland may be clinically applicable in the treatment of adrenal tumours.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effectiveness and safety of minimally invasive thermal ablation techniques (microwave ablation and radiofrequency ablation) compared to traditional open surgery for treating benign thyroid nodules.
- The research included 160 patients treated at a hospital between 2020 and 2023, with a subsequent propensity score matching process to create three comparable groups for analysis.
- Findings indicate that both microwave and radiofrequency ablation led to less blood loss, shorter surgery times, reduced hospital stays, lower pain levels, fewer complications, and higher patient satisfaction than open surgery.
Effects of pretreatment strategies on fertility outcomes in patients with adenomyosis.

Adenomyosis is a commonly encountered pathology in women of reproductive age and frequently coexists with infertility. The effect of adenomyosis on fertility, particularly on fertilisation and intracytoplasmic sperm injection outcomes, is not well understood. Various pretreatment modalities have been used to improve pregnancy rates and live birth outcomes; however, because of a lack of high-quality evidence, there is no clear consensus on the best pretreatment option.

Background: This study aimed to evaluate the safety, efficacy, and oncologic outcomes of thermal ablation techniques, including radiofrequency, laser, and microwave ablation, in treating primary thyroid cancer compared with surgical resection.
Method: We conducted a systematic review and network meta-analysis, which included 21 comparative studies and 40 noncomparative studies.
Results: The three thermal ablation techniques showed significant superiority over surgical resection in terms of operative time, pain, cost, quality of life, and complications.

Department of Orthopedics, The Second Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University, 374# Dianmian Road, Kunming, Yunnan, 650101, P.R. China.
Background: Our previous study demonstrated that temperature-related microwave ablation (MWA) can safely modulate growth plates of piglets' vertebrae. Therefore, this study is designed to investigate the effects of different temperatures on chondrocyte viability and the underlying molecular mechanisms in vitro.
Methods: Following a 10-minute treatment at different temperatures (37 °C, 40 °C, 42 °C, 44 °C, 46 °C, 48 °C, and 50 °C), CCK-8 assay was used to examine the viability of ATDC5 cells at 12 h.
