OBJECTIVE:This study examines patients with metastatic spinal disease undergoing non-total en bloc spondylectomy, focusing on revision surgery reasons and its effectiveness in treating spinal instability, neurological issues, and pain. METHODS:This study conducted a retrospective case series in a single center and included 344 patients with metastatic spinal tumor who underwent non-total en bloc spondylectomy open surgery between 2013 and 2021 and were followed up for >2 years. RESULTS:Of 344 patients, 20 (7.1%) had revision surgery due to delayed infection (n = 1), fixation loosening (n = 2), and tumor recurrence (n = 17). The revision group had lower rates of radiotherapy (35%) and long-segment fixation (45%) than the unrevised group (60.2%, 74%; P < 0.001). Decompression surgery had the highest revision rate (15.8%), followed by vertebrectomy (8.9%), separation surgery (4.7%), and hybrid surgery (2.3%). Postoperative scores and survival rates were improved in the revision group (median survival 32 vs. 11 months; P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Long-segment fixation with radiotherapy may reduce revision surgery need and extend the time between surgeries. Hybrid or separation surgeries lower the likelihood of revision. Revision surgery can relieve pain and improve neurological function. Patients in the revision group have longer survival times.

Background. JMJD2B has been reported to be implicated in malignant tumors. This study is aimed at exploring the expression and prognostic significance of JMJD2B in osteosarcoma and its association with hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF1).Methods. The histopathological and clinical characteristics were retrospectively reviewed from 53 osteosarcoma patients. JMJD2B and HIF1 were examined by immunohistochemical staining of paraffin-embedded osteosarcoma samples, and their association with clinical characteristics was examined by Spearman's test. Overall survival was examined by Kaplan-Meier analysis, and prognostic factors were identified by univariate and multivariate regression analyses.Results. JMJD2B and HIF1 expression levels were both significantly associated with Enneking stage, distant metastasis, and neoadjuvant chemotherapy, and the JMJD2B and HIF1 expressions were positively correlated (p<0.001,R=0.752). In addition, univariate analysis showed that the expression of both JMJD2B and HIF1 was significantly associated with overall survival, but multivariate analysis showed that only JMJD2B expression was significantly associated with overall survival in osteosarcoma patients.Conclusions. JMJD2B and HIF1 expression levels show significant correlation with osteosarcoma progression, and JMJD2B could predict poor prognosis of osteosarcoma patients.
Surgical treatment of benign subchondral lesions is the preferred treatment approach, but it leads to bone defects and requires filling treatment. MIIGX3 calcium sulfate bone cement is a new type of bone filling material. However, whether it affects bone defects after scraping benign lesions under the cartilage is unknown. SD rats were used to prepare the cartilage defect model on the femoral block and divided into control group, medical bone cement group and MIIGX3 calcium sulfate bone cement group followed by analysis of bone mineral density, ALP activity, type II collagen and BMP-2 level and TNF-alpha and IL-6 secretion by ELISA, COL2A1 and SOX9 expression by Real time PCR as well as glycosaminoglycan (GAG) content. The medical bone cement and MIIGX3 calcium sulfate bone cement can significantly increase ICRS score, bone density and ALP activity, elevate type II collagen and BMP-2 secretion and the expression of COL2A1 and SOX9 and GAG content compared to control (P < 0.05); MIIGX3 calcium sulfate bone cement can significantly improve these changes (P < 0.05). The TNF-alpha and IL-6 secretion of medical bone cement was increased but decreased in MIIGX3 group (P < 0.05). MIIGX3 calcium sulfate bone cement filled with benign lesions of subchondral bone after scraping can promote chondrocyte differentiation and expression, promote cartilage growth and reduce cartilage defects.
骨髓瘤骨病(myeloma bone disease,MBD)是多发性骨髓瘤(multiple myeloma,MM)常见的并发症.MBD的发病机制与破骨细胞活性增加和成骨细胞功能抑制有关,严重影响患者的生活质量.正常的骨重建由骨细胞、破骨细胞和成骨细胞通过平衡骨形成及骨吸收来维持,而且多种细胞因子可通过调节骨细胞、破骨细胞和成骨细胞的活性来影响骨形成及骨吸收.最近的文献报道,与破骨细胞活化和成骨细胞抑制有关的分子和途径有核因子-κB配体/骨保护素途径的受体激活剂、activin-A、Wnt信号抑制因子dickkopf-1 (DKK1)及硬化蛋白等,这些分子影响肿瘤生长,为开发治疗MBD的新药物和治疗MM提供了可能.本文就MBD的发病机制及治疗的最新进展做一综述.

Accumulation of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the displacement loop (D-loop) of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) may be associated with an increased cancer risk. We investigated the malignant melanoma (MM) risk profile of D-loop SNPs in a case-controlled study in Chinese Han population. A statistically significant increase in SNP frequency for the T16362C, A16399G and T195C alleles was observed in MM patients (p < 0.05) comparing the MM patients to controls, which indicted that the patients who carry these alleles were susceptible to MM. The study identified SNPs in the mitochondrial D-loop could increase MM risk in Chinese Han people. The analysis of genetic polymorphisms in the mitochondrial D-loop can help identify subgroups of patients who are at a higher risk of developing MM in Chinese Han population, thereby helping to make therapeutic decisions for these patients.
Objectives: To investigate the distributions of Id-1,vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) and microvessel density(MVD) in metastatic spinal tumor with different origins and their association with intraoperative blood loss.Methods: 32 metastases spinal specimens confirmed by pathological method in our hospital from 2005 to 2008 were collected.Based on the amount of blood loss,all cases were divided into low,medium and high blood loss subgroup,and all specimens were divided into epithelial group and mesenchymal derived group based on the origins of metastases.Immunohistochemical staining was used to detect Id-1,VEGF and CD34(microvascular markers) in all specimens.The above-mentioned index,tumor origin and blood loss were analyzed each other.Results: Id-1 associated significantly with tumor origin(P0.05),and showed positive relationship with intraoperative blood loss;Metastases from different origins had different expressions of VEGF(P0.05),which were positively correlated with the amount of blood loss;no significant difference was noted between MVD and metastases with different origins(P0.05).Spinal metastases with different origins showed statistical significance with blood loss(P0.05).Conclusions: Id-1 and VEGF expressions are different as for different metastasis origins,and are positively correlated with blood loss.Microvessel density is not significantly influenced by origin of spinal metastases.The epithelial origin metastases are associat ed with more blood loss.
