Objective To explore the characteristics of sagittal spino-pelvic parameters in patients with chronic low back pain and their relationship with chronic low back pain. Methods From Jul. 2019 to Jun. 2021, 249 patients with chronic low back pain(LBP group) and 86 physical examination adults without low back pain symptoms(control group) were selected as subjects in The First Affiliated Hospital of Naval Medical University(Second Military Medical University). The general data of the 2 groups were collected, the thoracic kyphosis(TK), lumbar lordosis(LL), LL-TK, sacral inclination(SS), pelvic inclination(PT), pelvic incidence(PI), SS-PT, LL-PI, sagittal verticalaxis(SVA) and other sagittal parameters were measured on the full-length anteroposterior and lateral X-ray films of the spine, and the differences between the 2 groups were observed.Results There were no significant differences in age, gender or body mass index between the 2 groups(all P>0.05). TK in the LBP group was higher than that in the control group, while LL-TK, SS, PI and SS-PT in the LBP group were lower than those in the control group(all P<0.05). There were no significant differences in LL, PT, LL-PI or SVA between the 2 groups(all P>0.05). The types of lordosis were mainly type 2(SS<35°, small LL, the apex of lumbar lordosis is located in L 4 ) in the LBP group and control group, accounting for 70.7%(176/249) and 57.0%(49/86), respectively. There was no significant difference in the composition ratio of lordosis types between the 2 groups(χ~2=6.161, P=0.104). Conclusion The sagittal spino-pelvis parameters of patients with chronic low back pain are different from those of adults without low back pain symptoms. Large TK, small SS, and small PI are more common in the low back pain patients, suggesting that this particular pattern is related to chronic low back pain.

OBJECTIVESElevated expression of Siglec-1 on circulating monocytes has been reported in some inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, but its expression and role in RA has not been elucidated. The aims of this study were to determine the expression of Siglec-1 in peripheral blood and to explore its role in mononuclear cell reactivity to autoantigen in RA.METHODSSiglec-1 protein and mRNA levels in 42 RA patients, 39 OA patients, 28 SLE patients and 42 normal controls were determined by flow cytometry and quantitative RT-PCR, respectively. In addition, 10 patients with active RA received DMARDs for 12 weeks and the frequencies of Siglec-1-positive cells and the 28-joint DAS (DAS28) were assessed before and after therapy. Furthermore, TNF-α, IFN-γ and type II collagen were used to up-regulate Siglec-1. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from different groups were stimulated with mitogens or antigens and cell proliferation and cytokine production were determined.RESULTSThe protein and mRNA levels of Siglec-1 on PBMCs and monocytes in RA patients were significantly higher than those in OA patients and healthy controls. Moreover, the expression of Siglec-1 protein on PBMCs was positively correlated with DAS28, ESR, high-sensitivity CRP and IgM-RF, but not with anti-CCP antibody. Interestingly, Siglec-1 expression was decreased in parallel with the decrease in the DAS28 after 12 weeks of anti-rheumatic treatment. Furthermore, TNF-α, IFN-γ and type II collagen can up-regulate Siglec-1 in PBMCs. Elevated PBMC proliferation and proinflammatory cytokine production to collagen stimulation in RA patients decreased when Siglec-1 was inhibited by anti-Siglec-1 antibodies.CONCLUSIONElevated Siglec-1 expression in PBMCs and monocytes can potentially serve as a biomarker for monitoring disease activity in RA. Siglec-1 may also play a proinflammatory role in stimulating lymphocyte proliferation and activation in RA.
The optimal surgical approach for multilevel cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) has not been defined, and the relative merits of multilevel anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) and anterior cervical corpectomy (2-level or skip 1-level corpectomy) and fusion (ACCF) remain controversial. However, few comparative studies have been conducted on these two surgical approaches.
Objective Atherosclerosis (AS) is widely accepted as an inflammatory disease and monocytes are particularly important in inflammatory immune responses. As an important biomarker of monocytes activation, Siglec-1 is highly expressed on circulating monocytes and atherosclerotic plaques of coronary artery disease (CAD) patients, but the exact role of Siglec-1 has not been elucidated. Methods M-CSF, INF-α, IFN-γ, TNF-α and ox-LDL alone or in combination were used to stimulate Siglec-1 expression on monocytes, whereas small interfering RNA (si-RNA) or blocking antibody was used to down-regulate Siglec-1. Meanwhile, the role of Siglec-1 in chemokines secretion was determined. Then monocytes from CAD patients or healthy controls were cocultured with CD4+ or CD8+ T cells from a third healthy individual, and lymphocyte proliferation and activation were determined. Results All the stimuluses could enhance Siglec-1 expression on monocytes in a dose-dependent manner, and M-CSF could synergistically stimulate Siglec-1 expression with ox-LDL. Moreover, the secretion of MCP-1, MIP-1α and MIP-2 were enhanced when Siglec-1 was up-regulated and down to normal level when Siglec-1 was blocked. More importantly, increased Siglec-1 expression on monocytes was related to the increased T cell proliferation and pro-inflammatory cytokines secretion in CAD patients. However, down-regulation of Siglec-1 could attenuate proliferation and activation of cocultured CD4+ and CD8+ T cells. Conclusion Siglec-1 can promote chemokines and pro-inflammatory cytokines secretion and influence the inflammatory process of AS.
OBJECTIVE:The objective of this study was to compare perioperative, clinical parameters, complications, and reoperation rate of the Gallie technique and head-neck-chest plaster with the Harms technique in the treatment of odontoid fractures. DESIGN:A retrospective study. SETTING:Level I spine center. PATIENTS:Fifty-seven patients with odontoid fractures treated either with the Gallie technique and casting or the Harms technique between July 2002 and June 2008. INTERVENTION:Surgery. MAIN OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS:At a minimum of 2-year follow-up, comparison of the two groups was conducted in terms of hospital stay, blood loss, operation time, cost of the first admission, total cost, time to fusion, time to return to previous occupation, Japanese Orthopedic Association scores, visual analog scale scores of neck pain, complications (nonunion, delayed union, hardware breakage, wound infection), and reoperation rate. RESULTS:There were no significant differences in terms of hospital stay, time to fusion, Japanese Orthopedic Association scores, neck pain visual analog scale scores, complications, or reoperation rate between the two groups. Blood loss, operation time, cost of the first admission, and total cost were significantly lower in the Gallie group than that in the Harms group. However, the Gallie group took longer to return to previous occupation than the Harms group (P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS:Management of odontoid fractures by either the Gallie technique and casting or the Harms technique was found to be similar in clinical outcomes. Although the Harms technique was associated with more blood loss, operation time, and cost, the Harms technique was found to be superior to the Gallie technique with casting in terms of time to return to previous occupation.
Objective To investigate the expression and distribution of interleukin-17(IL-17)in degenerate human cervical intervertebral discs tissues,and to explore the relationship between IL-17 and cervical intervertebral disc degeneration.Methods IL-1β,IL-17,tumor necrosis factor(TNF-α) and retinoid-related orphan receptor(RORγτ)mRNA levels were respectively measured by real-time quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(QT-PCR)in 30 surgical degenerate cervical intervertebral discs tissues(degeneration group)and 10 nondegenerate control tissue(control group).And the level of IL-17 protein,CD4 cell surface antigen were measured by immunohistochemistry staining.Results The mean IL-1β,IL-17,TNF-α,RORγτ mRNA levels in degeneration group were significantly higher than that in control group(P0.001),and the expression of these factors in nucleus pulposus were significantly higher than that in annulus fibrosus in degeneration group(P0.05).The expression level of IL-17 mRNA was positively correlated with RORγτ mRNA level(R=0.61,P0.001).Immunoreactivity of IL-17 and CD4 cell surface antigen were significantly greater in degenerate discs than in controls(P0.001),and the immunoreactivity in nucleus pulposus was higher than that in annulus fibrosus in degeneration group(P0.05).Conclusion The expression level of IL-17 mRNA and IL-17 protein were significantly increased in degenerate human cervical discs tissues than that in autopsy control tissues,and the expression in nucleus pulposus was greater than in annulus fibrosus.These findings suggest involvement of IL-17 in the pathome chanism of intervertebral disc degeneration.Immune inflammation mediated by Th17 lymphocytes may play an important role in the development and progression of human cervical intervertebral disc degeneration.
[Objective]To investigate the expression of interleukin-17(IL-17) in degenerate human lumbar intervertebral discs tissues,and to explore the relationship between IL-17 expression and intervertebral disc degeneration. [Methods]IL-17 and retinoid-related orphan receptor(ROR)γτ mRNA levels were respectively measured by real-time quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(QT-PCR) in 42 surgical degenerative intervertebral discs tissues(26 samples from patients with lumbar disc herniation and 16 samples from patients with lumbar spinal stenosis) and 8 nondegenerated control tissue(from 4 autopsy).And the level of IL-17 protein,CD4 cell surface antigen was determined by immunohistochemistry EnVision method. [Results]The mean IL-17 and RORγτ mRNA levels in degenerate discs tissues group were significantly higher than that in autopsy controls(P<0.05),but no significant differences were found between patients with LDH and spinal stenosis(t=0.669,P=0.507,t=421,P=0.380).The expression level of IL-17 mRNA was positively correlated with RORγτ(r=0.381,P<0.001).Immunoreactivity of IL-17 and CD4 cell surface antigen were significantly greater in degenerate discs than in autopsy controls(P<0.001),but no significant differences were found between patients with LDH and spinal stenosis(t=1.130,P=0.265,t=1.459,P=0.152). [Conclusion]The expression levels of IL-17 mRNA and IL-17 protein were significantly increased in degenerate human lumbar discs tissues than that in autopsy control tissues.These findings suggest involvement of IL-17 in the pathomechanism of intervertebral disc degeneration.Immune inflammation mediated by Th17 lymphocytes may play an important role in the development and progression of human lumbar intervertebral disc degeneration.
Objective:To investigate the efficacy of multilevel anterior cervical discectomy and fusion for aged patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy.Method:Twenty seven patients(15 males and 12 females) with the mean age of 66.5±5.1 years(range,61-75 years) treated surgically between March 2004 and March 2009 were reviewed retrospectively.Multilevel(including C3-C6 in 11 case,C4-C7 in 9,C3-C7 in 7) anterior cervical discectomy and fusion with cage and dynamic titanium plate were performed.Japanese Orthopedic Association(JOA) scores and neck dysfunction index(NDI),as well as radiologic parameters such as cervical lordosis of fusion segement before and after operation were noted and compared.Improving rate of JOA and bony fusion were also evaluated.Clinical results were graded from excellent to poor using the Odom's criteria.The sagittal alignment of fusion segements were measured using Cobb method.Result:The average operation time was 112.9±28.2min(range,75-180min),and mean blood loss was 78.9±52.8ml(range,50-300ml).One patient was complicated with cerebrospinal fluid leakage which healed after conventional drain for 24h without surgical intervention.Another two cases had swallowing foreign body sensation,which disappeared after two months.All patients were followed up for 6-60 months,with an average of 23.8±7.5 months.The JOA score at final follow up(13.6±1.2) was significantly higher than preoperative(9.5±1.8)(P<0.001).NDI at final follow up(7.8% ±2.2%) was significant lower than preoperative(19.0%±3.4%)(P<0.001).Radiograph analysis indicated that the average angle of lordosis was corrected from 8.8°±1.2° preoperatively to 18.0°±2.5° at final follow up(P<0.001).The final follow up score according to Odom's criteria was excellent in eight patients,good in fifteen and fair in remaining four,with excellent and good rate of 85.2%.At final follow up,no cage subsidence and displacement was noted and bony fusion rate was 100%.Conclusion:Multilevel anterior discectomy and fusion for aged patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy is reliable and effective.

Study Design. Case report. Objective. To report a case of a 19-year-old boy with intervertebral disc calcification (IDC) at C7-T1, who presented with paresis and aconuresis. Surgical outcome was assessed. Summary of Background Data. IDC, commonly seen in the cervical spine region in children, is well-known as a self-limiting disorder with no or little symptoms. Surgical intervention is usually not required. Methods. A 19-year-old boy presented with acute back pain, progressive numbness, and weakness of both lower extremities and aconuresis for 1 week. There was no traumatic history or signs of infection. Radiograph, computed tomography with reconstruction, and magnetic resonance imaging revealed C7-T1 IDC with severe spinal cord compression. Decompression with anterior cervical corpectomy and fusion was performed. Results. Follow-up showed complete resolution of the back pain and complete recovery of motor power and sensory function in both lower extremities and return of normal micturition function. The patient had full recovery with no complications. Conclusion. Serious neurologic deficit, especially a bladder dysfunction, caused by calcified intervertebral disc is rare. However, favorable outcome can be achieved in those cases where rapid diagnosis is made and followed by spinal cord decompression.
Objective To evaluate the stability of 3D cervical range of motion(CROM) inclinometer.Methods Thirty healthy subjects underwent the active cervical ROM testing in the 3 planes using the 3D CROM inclinometer.Observer A and B evaluated the cervical ROM of each subject twice respectively,and determined the mean cervical ROM in flexion-extension,lateral flexion and rotation in these subjects,and examined the intra-observer and inter-observer reliability of measurements obtained.Results In these subjects,the mean cervical ROM was 123.0°± 8.3° in flexion-extension,86.3°± 8.9° in lateral flexion and 135.1°± 8.3° in rotation.Good intra-observer reliability was found for flexion-extension(ICC=0.87),high intra-observer reliability was found for lateral flexion(ICC=0.92)and rotation(ICC=0.94).Good inter-observer reliability was found for flexion-extension(ICC=0.87),high intra-observer reliability was found for lateral flexion(ICC=0.90)and rotation(ICC=0.91).Conclusion The 3D CROM inclinometer is a reliable instrument for determining active cervical ROM with good intra-observer and inter-observer reliability.It is a practical and valid instrument appropriate for clinical evaluation and research.
