(A) Osteocyte canaliculi after total parathyroidectomy (PTX) in group I. The osteocyte canaliculi stained by tetracycline hydrochloride were clearly visible in a group I patient after PTX followed by 2.0 μg/day of alfacalcidol administration. It is likely that mineralization within bone matrix presumably mediated by the osteocytic perilacunar/canalicular system was maintained if the hemodialysis patients receive 2.0 μg/day of alfacalcidol after PTX. White arrows are pointing to osteocyte canaliculi stained by tetracycline hydrochloride. (B) Osteocyte canaliculi after PTX in group I. Osteocyte lacunae are shown and those on the right are stained by tetracycline hydrochloride. White arrows are pointing to osteocyte lacunar walls stained by tetracycline hydrochloride.
