背景:缺氧诱导因子是骨缺氧微环境中关键的基因表达调节因子,了解缺氧诱导因子在骨形成、骨重塑中的作用机制及其对骨稳态失衡类疾病的影响,对探索骨稳态失衡类疾病的防治新途径具有重要意义.目的:查阅国内外相关医学文献,对缺氧诱导因子在骨形成、骨重塑过程中的作用机制,以及对缺氧诱导因子与骨稳态失衡类疾病相关性的研究进展进行综述分析.方法:在2021年4月检索中国知网、万方、维普、NCBI和PubMed数据库2000-2021年所发表的文献,中文关键词:"缺氧诱导因子、骨形成、骨重塑、骨稳态失衡类疾病、调控机制";英文关键词:"Hypoxia inducible factor,bone formation,bone remodeling,bone homeostasis disorders,regulatory mechanism";通过对相关资料的整理与分析,综述缺氧诱导因子对骨形成、骨重塑的作用机制,并分析缺氧诱导因子在骨稳态失衡类疾病中的作用.结果 与结论:①缺氧应激条件下成骨细胞过度表达的缺氧诱导因子1α能够促进骨形成,增加长骨体积,而破骨细胞中缺氧诱导因子2α表达的显著上调能促进破骨细胞的成熟与分化,引起进行性骨丢失.②抑制破骨细胞中缺氧诱导因子1α表达可削弱破骨细胞活性,降低骨吸收,提高骨重塑,缺氧诱导因子2α则通过介导成骨细胞与破骨细胞间的调节来实现骨重塑.③关于缺氧诱导因子3在骨形成、骨重塑中的作用机制目前尚未有研究涉及.④在骨质疏松症中,成骨细胞数量、成骨功能及血管形成能力下降,抑制部分缺氧诱导因子α表达,引起骨量减少、骨密度下降,增加了骨折发生风险.⑤在骨关节炎中,缺氧诱导因子2α呈明显高表达,其通过调控炎性因子、基质分解酶类等分解代谢基因的表达,刺激所介导的软骨细胞凋亡,并加速软骨成分破坏.⑥在软骨肉瘤中,新血管的生成与缺氧诱导因子1α过表达相关,缺氧诱导因子1α可作为软骨肉瘤中与肿瘤新血管生成相关的恶性标志物,缺氧诱导因子1抑制治疗可干预软骨肉瘤中的血管生成.⑦缺氧诱导因子对骨稳态失衡类疾病的血管生成过程及成骨细胞、破骨细胞、软骨细胞组织的增殖与活性具有重要调控作用,因此研发缺氧诱导因子相关激活类或抑制类药物,对修复骨缺损、加快骨折愈合、改善骨关节炎症等骨稳态失衡类病变有十分积极的意义.
Objective:To investigate the effects of S secreted frizzled-related protein-2 (SFRP2) gene DNA methylation on transcription and protein expression in postmenopausal osteoporosis (OP) , as well as the molecular mechanism of Mir-152-3p regulating SFRP2 gene methylation.Methods:The postmenopausal OP patients who visited the Department of Orthopedics of Hengshui People’s Hospital from Sep.2017 to Sep.2020 were selected as the research subjects, and 200 healthy menopausal women who underwent physical examination in our hospital during the same period were included as the healthy control group. The methylation level of SFRP2 gene was quantitatively detected in OP patients and healthy controls. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to detect the relative mRNA and mirNA-148a expressions of SFRP2 gene. Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to assay the protein expression levels of SFRP2 and DNA methyltransferase (DNMT1) . Osteoblasts of SD rats were treated with miR-152-3P mimic, inhibitor and NC mimic and inhibitor and the expression levels of DNMT1 and SFRP2 methylation was detectd.Results:The methylation level of SFRP2 gene in OP group was 3.87%±0.76%, significantly lower than that in the control group (6.36%±1.44%, t=4.632, P<0.001) . The mRNA expression level of SFRP2 gene in OP group was 3.35±0.79, significantly higher than that in control group (2.28±0.52, t=4.858, P<0.001) . The expression level of SFRP2 gene protein in OP group was (4.15±0.62) pg/ml, significantly higher than that in control group[ (2.83±0.51) pg/ml, t=4.858, P<0.001]. The relative expression level of mirNA-152-3P in OP group was 3.14±0.76, significantly higher than that in control group[ (1.63±0.51) , t=5.318, P<0.001]. After transfection of miR-152-3p into SD rat osteoblasts, the expression levels of DNMT1 and SFRP2 methylation in mimic group were significantly decreased, while those of inhibitor group were significantly increased ( P<0.001) . Conclusion:miR-152-3p can regulate the methylation level of SFRP2 gene by acting on the downstream target protein DNMT1and participating in the occurrence of OP.

Objective: The study aims to investigate the effect of PTED on serum inflammatory factors and pain in patients with lumbar disc herniation. Methods: 94 patients with lumbar disc herniation treated in our hospital were enrolled in this study. Patients were randomly divided into group A (n=47) and group B (n=47). Group A were treated with fenestration discectomy, and Group B were treated with PTED discectomy. The general clinical data, the duration of surgery, bleeding amount, the length of hospital stay, and the complications of patients were compared between two groups. The serum level of TNF-a and IL-6 was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and the visual an-alogue score (VAS) between group A and group B was compared by Japanese Orthopaedic Association Scores (JOA). Results: The total duration of surgery, total bleeding amount, and length of hospital stay in group B were less or shorter than those in group A (P<0.001). The TNF-alpha level, IL-6 level and VAS score after treatment in group B were lower than those in group A (P<0.001). While the JOA score in group B was higher than that in group A (P<0.001); the incidence of adverse complications such as lumbar deformation, aggravate pain and postoperative distasia in group B was lower than that in group A (P>0.05). The quality of life scores in group B were higher than those in group A (P<0.001). Conclusion: In summary, PTED has a better effect on the disease control and pain relief in patients with lumbar disc herniation; it has played a greater role in improving patients' quality of life, which is worthy of clinical promotion.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the difference between four transforaminal endoscopic approaches in the treatment of serious lumbar disc herniation. METHODS:Between October 2010 and February 2015, a total of 122 patients with serious lumbar disc herniation were enrolled and treated with discectomy under transforaminal endoscope. The patients were divided into 4 groups according to the different approaches. The transforaminal endoscopic spine system (TESSYS) technology was used in group A (31 cases), Yeung endoscopic spine system (YESS) technology was used in group B (30 cases), improved transforaminal endoscopic access (ITEA) technology was used in group C (31 cases), and interlaminar dorsal access (IDA) technology was used in group D (30 cases). There was no significant difference in gender, age, disease duration, lesion segment, and preoperative visual analogue scale (VAS) score of low back pain, VAS score of bilateral lower extremities pain, Oswestry disability index (ODI), intervertebral height, lumbar curvature index (LCI), and disc degeneration grading between groups ( P>0.05). The removal volume of nucleus pulposus was compared; after operation, VAS score, ODI score, LCI, intervertebral height, and disc degeneration grading were used to evaluate the effectiveness. RESULTS:The removal volumes of nucleus pulposus in groups A, B, C, and D were (3.6±0.9), (3.5±0.7), (4.6±1.0), (3.1±1.1) cm 3, respectively. There were significant differences between groups ( P<0.05). All incisions healed by first intention, and no early postoperative complications was found. All cases were followed up 12-35 months, with an average of 24 months. During follow-up, there was no recurrence of nucleus pulposus herniation, infection of intervertebral space, cerebrospinal fluid leakage, epidural hematoma, or other complications. At last follow-up, the VAS scores of low back pain and bilateral lower extremities pain, and ODI scores in each group significantly improved when compared with those before operation ( P<0.05); there was no significant difference in the scores and improvements between groups after operation ( P>0.05). At last follow-up, the disc degeneration grading in group B significantly improved when compared with that before operation ( P<0.05); there was no significant difference between groups ( P>0.05). At last follow-up, there was no significant difference in LCI of each group when compared with that before operation ( P>0.05); and there was no significant difference in LCI and loss value between groups ( P>0.05). There was no significant difference in the intervertebral height of the 4 groups at immediate after operation and last follow-up when compared with preoperative value ( P>0.05), and there was no significant difference between groups at immediate after operation and last follow-up ( P>0.05). CONCLUSION:Application of transforaminal endoscope in the treatment of serious lumbar disc herniation has great clinical outcomes. The ITEA technology can obtain a wider field of view and be more convenient to find and remove the degenerative nucleus pulposus. However, the appropriate approach should be selected according to the symptoms and characteristics of lumbar disc herniation.

Study Design: Clinical and radiographic results of a randomized, controlled, double-blind clinical trial Objective: To investigate the clinical applicability of a ball-point slide-type interbody distractor in posterior reduction and internal fixation for mid- to high-grade isthmic spondylolisthesis. Summary of Background Data: Posterior reduction and internal fixation is the effective treatment for spondylolisthesis. However, for the mid and high-grade isthmic spondylolisthesis patients with the conditions of vertebral osteoporosis and extremely narrow intervertebral space, the reduction is difficult; post-surgery intervertebral space height lost becomes serious; the fracture and loosening rate of fixation system is higher. No study regarding the prevention of these adverse outcomes in this technique is reported. Methods: A total of 59 patients of mid and high-grade isthmic spondylolisthesis were randomly divided into random groups (investigational group and control group) applying simple randomized method in this study. In addition, 30 patients received posterior reduction and internal fixation as control. Twenty-nine patients received posterior reduction and internal fixation by ball-point slide-type interbody distractor were assigned to the investigational group. X-ray examination was performed before and after operation. The degree of reduction, height of intervertebral space were compared. The preoperative and postoperative Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) were evaluated. Additionally, rate of the fixation system fracture was also assessed. Results: Before treatment, there were no significant differences in ISH (P = .72), DR (P = .85), VAS of back pain (P = .55), VAS of leg pain (P = .83) and ODI (P = .68) were found between 2 groups. After 12-month treatment, there were no significant differences in ISH (P = .26), VAS of back pain (P = .09) and VAS of leg pain (P = .96) between two groups. Significant differences of DR (P = .02), ODI (P = .03) and adverse events (P = .00) were found between 2 groups. Conclusions: The results of this prospectively study showed that the ball-point slide-type interbody distractor in the posterior reduction and internal fixation produced good outcomes after 12-month treatment. More high quality randomized controlled trials and cases should still be needed to warrant the results of this study.
Objective To analyze the correlation between the lumbar disc and lumbar facet joint degenera-tion sequence with the age.Methods Six hundreds patients with lumbocrural pain and intact imaging data in this hospital from January 2014 to June 2016 were selected.The intervertebral disc degeneration was judged by using the Pfirrmann method and the Weishaupt classification criterion was used to judge the degeneration of lumbar facet joint.The intervertebral discs and facet joints at L3 -4,L4 -5and L5-S1were performed the graded evaluation.The incidence and age group distribution of each degenerative grade were recorded.The correlation between the degeneration of intervertebral disc and facet joint with the age and the degeneration sequence were analyzed.Results The lumbar disc degeneration and lumbar facet joint degeneration were positively correlated with the age increase(r=0.56,0.62,P<0.05).The lumbar facet joint degeneration rate in the patients aged less than 45 years old was greater than the lumbar disc degeneration rate,however the lumbar disc degenera-tion rate in the patients aged ≥45 years old was greater than lumbar facet joint degeneration rate.Conclusion Lumbar intervertebral disc and facet joint degeneration closely correlated with the age.The lumbar facet joint degeneration is predominant in the early stage and the lumbar intervertebral disc degeneration is predom-inant in the later stage.

Zoledronic acid is regarded as the most potent bisphosphonate and is widely used in patients with osteoporosis; however, its side effects, including acute-phase reactions, gastrointestinal complaints, renal dysfunction and bisphosphonate-associated osteonecrosis impair the safety and quality of life of patients. The present study was designed to determine the minimal effective concentration of zoledronic acid through testing the dose-dependent effects of zoledronic acid on osteoclast suppression. A primary culture of bone marrow mononuclear cells obtained from C57 mice (age, 6 weeks) was established and induced to form osteoclasts. The number of multinuclear cells was determined by tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase staining and compared among cultured marrow cells treated with different concentrations of zoledronic acid. Furthermore, the cellular properties, including adhesion, migration and bone resorption, were compared at the minimal effective concentration. At a concentration of 1×10-6 mol/l, zoledronic acid significantly inhibited the formation of osteoclasts. This inhibitory effect was further enhanced at the concentration of 1×10-5 mol/l. However, the inhibitory effect of zoledronic acid tapered at the concentration of 1×10-4 mol/l and there was no further dose-dependent increase. In addition, the concentration of 1×10-6 mol/l was sufficient to alter cellular functions, including cell adhesion, migration and bone resorption. In conclusion, zoledronic acid was effective in reducing osteoclast formation and suppressing cellular functions. The minimal effective concentration of zoledronic acid in vitro was 1 µmol/l. Based on these results, a comparable dosage should be explored in clinical applications.
Objective:To investigate the effect and effectiveness analysis of different approaches of transforaminal endoscope on extirpation amount of nuclues pulposus. Methods:Between August 2011 and December 2014, a total of 165 patients with lumbar disc herniation were retrospectively enrolled and were treated with nucleus pulposus discectomy through transforaminal endoscope. The patients were randomly divided into 4 groups according to different approach of transforaminal endoscope. The posterolateral approach (Yeung's technology) was used in group A (42 cases), transforaminal endoscopic spine system (TESSYS) technology was used in group B (40 cases), improved transforaminal endoscopic access (ITEA) technology was used in group C (43 cases), and interlaminar approach (40 cases) was used in group D (40 cases). There was no significant difference in gender, age, disease duration, symptomatic side, and segments among 4 groups ( P>0.05). The extirpation amount of nuclues pulposus was calculated and compared among 4 groups; the effectiveness was evaluated by pre- and post-operative visual analogue scale (VAS) score, Oswestry disability index (ODI), lumbar curvature index (LCI), and intervertebral height. Results:The discectomy amount of nucleus pulposus was (3.7±0.8), (3.6±0.7), (4.5±1.1), and (3.0±0.8) cm 3 in groups A, B, C, and D, respectively. The amount of group C was significantly larger than that of the other 3 groups ( P<0.05), and the amount of group D was significantly smaller than that of the other 3 groups ( P<0.05); no significant difference was found between groups A and B ( P>0.05). Cerebrospinal fluid leakage was found in 1 case; no other postoperative complications including intervertebral space infection and epidural hematoma was found. All the incisions healed by first intension. All the patients were followed up 12-24 months (mean, 18 months), and no typical symptoms of recurrence was found during the follow-up period. There was no significant difference in preoperative lower back pain VAS score, lower extremities VAS score, and ODI scores among 4 groups ( P>0.05). The above scores at last follow-up were significantly improved when compared with preoperative ones in each group ( P<0.05), but no significant difference of above scores and recovery values was found among 4 groups ( P>0.05). The difference in LCI and intervertebral height at preoperation and at last follow-up were not significant between 4 groups ( P>0.05). The difference in LCI and intervertebral height of each group between at preoperation and last follow-up were not significant ( P>0.05). And the recovery value of LCI and the lost of height at last follow-up also showed no significant differences between 4 groups ( P>0.05). Conclusion:The ITEA technology can give a wider field of view than other technologies. It is more convenient to find and remove the nucleus pulposus. However, the appropriate operative approaches should be chosen according to the symptoms and characteristics of lumbar disc herniation.
The standard treatment for osteoporosis was controversial. Denosumab and bisphosphonates were two most common drugs. The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy and safety of denosumab with bisphosphonates to treat osteoporosis.
Objective Applicate annulus fibrosus suture to investigate its effect on the biomechanical strength of intervertebral disc.Methods A total of 36 sheep were underwent retroperitoneal 3 levels exposure of the lumbar spine (L2/3,L3/4,L4/5).Three ways were used in these discs:(1) Did not penetrate into the annulus fibrosus in Group A.(2) Penetrate into the annulus fibrosus in Group B,and didn' t perform annulus fibrosus suture.(3) Penetrate into the annulus fibrosus and perform annulus fibrosus suture in Group C.At 48 weeks after surgery,MRI images were taken and these segments were underwent biomechanical testing to assess the strength of the disc and anulus.Histology was also conducted on these specimens.Results Compared with control group,the lost of intervertebral space height on annulus suture group was (0.90 ± 0.25) mm,and non suture group was (2.41 ± 0.85) mm,the difference was statistically significant (P =0.015).The strength of intervertebral disc on control group was (3.91 ± 0.78) mPa,non suture group was (1.99 ±0.58) mPa,suture group was (3.07 ±0.67) mPa;the difference was statistically significant (P =0.004).The nucleus pulposus volume on control group was (0.83 ± 0.60) cm3,suture group was (0.82 ± 0.48) cm3,and non suture group was (0.85 ± 0.42) cm3,thedifference was not statistically significant (P =0.058).Conclusion Application of annulus fibrosus suture after resection of nucleus pulposus can effectively maintenance of biomechanical strength,it play a positive role in the repair of annulus fibrosus.
Objective To investigate the effects of ibandronate on intervertebral fusion the lumbar spondylolisthesis patients underwent lumbar posterior decompression and interbody fusion and internal fixation.Methods Sixty-three cases of lumbar spondylolisthesis patients were underwent lumbar posterior interbody fusion and internal fixation.The patients were divided into experimental group and control group according to different postoperative drug use.The experimental group of 33 patients used 3mg ibandronate for 120 minutes by slow intravenous a week after surgery,every 3 months for 24 months.The control group of 30 patients did not use the application of ibandronate drugs.The two groups were evaluated on the low back pain Oswestry Dability Index(ODI) score,lumbago leg pain symptoms Visual Analogue Scale(VAS)score,bone density,X-ray and CT examinations before and at the last follow-up and the clinical symptom score,intervertebral height,fusion rate and bone mineral density were compared between the two groups.Results At the end of the follow-up,pain ODI score and VAS score of two groups were significantly lower than those before operation,the experimental group was lower than the control group according to the ODI score and VAS score of the lumbago(P <0.05).The height of the intervertebral space of the 2 groups was smaller than that of the postoperative,the height of the intervertebral space of the experimental group was higher than that of the control group,loss of intervertebral height was less in experimental group,and the interbody fusion the rate of experimental group was higher than the control group(P <0.05).The bone mineral density of the lumbar spine and the bone mineral density of the left femur were higher in the experimental group than in the control group,the bone mineral density of the lumbar spine and the bone mineral density of the left femur were higher in the experimental group than those in the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion Application of ibandronate can promote interbody fusion,improve the symptoms of low back pain after the posterior lumbar decompression and reduction and interbody fusion.
