Objective To evaluate the effect of percutaneous pedicle screw fixation(PPSF) using three different treatments on thoracolumbar fractures. Methods A total of 63 patients with single-segment thoracolumbar fractures treated with PPSF,without neurological symptoms, and with a Load sharing classification(LSC) score <7 were selected. The patients were divided into Group A(transvertebral fixation), Group B(unilateral pedicle screw fixation), and Group C(bilateral pedicle screw fixation).The clinic data of operative time, bleeding, Visual analog score(VAS), and Oswestry disability index(ODI) were assessed in the three groups. The changes of the Anterior height ratio of injured vertebral(AHRIV) and the Cobb angle of injured vertebral(CAIV)in the sagittal plane were also assessed using imaging techniques. Results There was no statistically significant difference between the three groups in terms of VAS scores at each postoperative follow-up and ODI scores at the last follow-up. In terms of operative time, the differences between the three groups were statistically significant when compared with each other. In terms of bleeding volume, the differences were statistically significant in group C compared with groups A and B, respectively. In terms of AHRIV, there was a statistically significant difference between group A and group C at the last postoperative follow-up, and there was a statistically significant difference between group A compared with its own first postoperative follow-up. In terms of postoperative CAIV loss, there was a statistically significant difference between the two follow-ups in group A, and the difference was statistically significant in group A compared with group B and with group C. Conclusion The use of PPSF for singlesegment thoracolumbar fracture with TLSC <7 has achieved good results by performing Unilateral pedicle screw fixation, and can effectively reduce loss of AHRIV and CAIV in the middle and distant stages of repositioning, which can achieve more satisfactory clinical results.
This study assesses the effect of bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSC) on chemotherapy resistance of osteosarcoma. 60 SPF mice were randomly separated into control group and model group. Serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP), Calcium (Ca), Phosphorus (P) and tumor formation rate were observed. The osteosarcoma tissues were taken to construct drug-resistant osteosarcoma cell lines. Control group, 5-fluorouracil (5-Fu) group, BMSC group, 5-Fu+BMSC group, and then set 5-Fu+BMSC+agonist group, 5-Fu+BMSC+inhibitor group, respectively. Osteosarcoma cell sensitivity to 5-Fu (IC50) and β -catenin/p- β -catenin expression were examined. Compared with control group, the ALP level and tumor formation rate in model group were higher and P level was remarkably lower. Ca level showed no difference between two groups ( P >0.05). The 5-Fu+BMSC group and 5-Fu group had the highest IC50 levels and the control group and BMSC group had the lowest IC50 levels. The β -catenin/p- β -catenin expressions were the highest in 5-Fu+BMSC group and 5-Fu group, and their expressions in control group and BMSC group were the lowest. 5-Fu+BMSC+agonist group showed higher β -catenin, p- β -catenin and IC50 levels, which are lower in 5-Fu+BMSC+inhibitor group. Endogenous BMSC can promote the chemotherapy resistance of osteosarcoma. They can promote β -catenin and β -catenin phosphorylation level, down-regulate osteosarcoma cell sensitivity to 5-Fu, and then promote drug resistance. Therefore, β -catenin signaling can be used as a target to reverse the resistance of osteosarcoma cells to 5-Fu.
Chordoma is a rare malignant bone tumor originating from the remnants of the notochord. Here, the role of long noncoding LOC554202 in chordoma progression and its associated mechanism were explored. Cell proliferation was analyzed by 3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5 diphenyltetrazolium bromide and colony formation assays. Flow cytometry was conducted to analyze cell apoptosis rate. The migration and invasion of chordoma cells were analyzed by transwell migration and invasion assays and wound healing assays. A xenograft tumor model was established in nude mice to explore the role of LOC554202 in regulating tumor growth in vivo . The interaction between microRNA-377-3p (miR-377-3p) and LOC554202 or sekelsky mothers against d PP (SMAD) family member 3 (SMAD3) was verified by dual-luciferase reporter and RNA immunoprecipitation assays. The glycolytic rate of chordoma cells was analyzed using glucose assay kit, lactic acid kit and ApoSENSOR ADP/ATP ratio assay kit. LOC554202 expression was upregulated in chordoma tissues and cell lines. LOC554202 silencing suppressed the proliferation, migration and invasion and induced the apoptosis of chordoma cells. LOC554202 knockdown restrained xenograft tumor growth in vivo . miR-377-3p was confirmed as a target of LOC554202, and miR-377-3p silencing largely overturned LOC554202 knockdown-mediated anti-tumor effects in chordoma cells. miR-377-3p interacted with the 3′ untranslated region (3′UTR) of SMAD3 and miR-377-3p overexpression-mediated antitumor effects in chordoma cells were largely attenuated by SMAD3 overexpression. LOC554202 could positively regulate SMAD3 expression by sponging miR-377-3p in chordoma cells. LOC554202 contributed to the glycolysis of chordoma cells by targeting binding to miR-377-3p/SMAD3 axis. LOC554202 facilitated the proliferation, migration, invasion and glycolysis and inhibited the apoptosis of chordoma cells by mediating miR-377-3p/SMAD3 axis.
Objective:The study aimed to investigate the effect of anterior cervical surgery in the treatment of spinal cord injury without radiographic abnormalities (SCIWORAs) and analyze the related factors affecting the prognosis of patients.Methods:A total of 86 patients with SCIWORA who were admitted to our hospital from June 2018 to March 2021 were selected as the research subjects. According to the different treatment methods selected by the patients, they were divided into the control group (n = 38) and the observation group (n = 48). The control group was treated with conservative therapy, and the observation group was treated with anterior cervical total laminectomy decompression, internal fixation, and bone graft fusion. The efficacy of the treatment was assessed preoperatively and 6 months after surgery using the Japanese Orthopedics Association (JOA) functional evaluation criteria for cervical spinal cord injury. The improvement rate of the JOA score at the last follow-up visit was calculated according to the Hirabayashi formula to evaluate the prognosis of patients.Results:The JOA score of the observation group six months after surgery was (14.98 ± 2.75) that was higher than that of the control group (12.16 ± 2.54) (P < 0.05). After surgery, the improvement rate of the JOA score in the observation group was higher than that in the control group (P < 0.05). After surgery, the scores of health condition, physiological function, and role physical in the observation group were (23.18 ± 1.09), (22.75 ± 1.54), and (22.64 ± 1.46), which were higher than those in the control groups (20.94 ± 1.65), (20.26 ± 1.78), and (19.56 ± 1.82) (P < 0.05). The results of univariate analysis showed that the ASIA classification of cervical spinal cord injury, the type of MRI cervical spinal cord injury, the scope of cervical spinal cord injury, lumbar disc herniation, and the time from injury to treatment were all related to the prognosis of the patients (P < 0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that the ASIA classification of cervical spinal cord injury, the type of MRI cervical spinal cord injury, the scope of cervical spinal cord injury, and the time from injury to treatment were the independent factors affecting the prognosis of patients (P < 0.05).Conclusion:For patients with SCIWORA, anterior total lamina decompression and internal fixation with bone grafting and fusion can effectively promote the recovery of cervical spinal cord function and improve the prognosis and quality of life of patients. The ASIA classification of cervical spinal cord injury, the type of MRI cervical spinal cord injury, the scope of cervical spinal cord injury, and the time from injury to treatment were the independent prognostic factors for patients.
Thoracolumbar fracture is familiar spinal injuries in the highenergy violence and traffic accidents, accounting for more than 50 percent of the total number of spinal fractures. Despite some thoracolumbar fractures patients who do not have neurologic dysfunction respond well to conservative treatment, short-segment pedicle screw fixation has been proven to be a more effective approach to resort vertebral height, correct kyphosis and stabilize fractures. In the past few years, minimally invasive percutaneous pedicle screw fixation (MIPPSF) as the alternative approach to treat the thoracolumbar fractures, aims to decrease the injury of soft tissue and perioperative complications. Originally used to treat degenerative spine diseases, the MIPPSF system have been demonstrated to be effective in decreasing blood loss and complications, avoiding muscle and tissue injury, and shortening the hospital stays and recovery times. Although there are similar advantages in treating the thoracolumbar fractures, the evidence is mostly limited to low-energy and low-level observational studies. In addition, the lack of long-term efficacy of the MIPPSF in treating the thoracolumbar fractures further limits the available evidence for this technique. Therefore, the purpose of our study is to compare the radiological and clinical results of thoracolumbar spine injury stabilized by standard open pedicle screw fixation (OPSF) and the MIPPSF system.We hypothesize thatMIPPSF technique will lead
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a widespread degenerative joint disease that affects more than 350 million people worldwide. Although YAP1 has been proved to play a key role in OA, the biological function and mechanism of YAP1 in OA still need further investigation. In the present study, we demonstrated that YAP1 was highly expressed in OA rat chondrocytes. Recently, growing microRNAs (miRNAs) have been reported to play important roles in OA development. Among them, miR-582-3p is one of the few significantly downregulated miRNAs and attracted our attention. Functional investigations indicated that miR-582-3p inhibited chondrocyte apoptosis, reduced the proinflammatory cytokine production and suppressed extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation. Subsequently, molecular mechanism exploration implied that YAP1 is a downstream target of miR-582-3p. Furthermore, rescue assays revealed that YAP1 amplification can reverse miR-582-3p mimic-mediated effects on chondrocyte apoptosis, inflammatory response, and ECM degradation. Moreover, the OA rat model was established to explore the function of miR-582-3p/YAP1 axis in vivo. The results showed that YAP1 overexpression can recover the effects induced by injection of AAV-miR-582-3p mimic on OA progression. To sum up, these findings implied a crucial role of miR-582-3p/YAP1 axis in OA, which may provide a promising therapeutic strategy for OA.
Sulfiredoxin-1 (SRX1) is a conserved endogenous antioxidative protein, which is involved in the response to cellular damage caused by oxidative stress. Oxidative stress and inflammation are the primary pathological changes in spinal cord injuries (SCI). The aim of present study was to explore the roles of SRX1 in SCI. Using reverse transcription-quantitative PCR and western blotting, the present study discovered that the expression levels of SRX1 were downregulated in the spinal cord tissues of SCI model rats. Massive irregular cavities and decreased Nissl bodies were observed in the model group compared with the sham group. Thus, to determine the underlying mechanisms, neuron-like PC12 cells were cultured in vitro. Western blotting analysis indicated that SRX1 expression levels were downregulated following the exposure of cells to lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Following the transfection with the SRX1 overexpression plasmid and stimulation with LPS, the results of the Cell Counting Kit-8 assay indicated that the cell viability was increased compared with LPS stimulation alone. Furthermore, the expression levels of proinflammatory cytokines secreted by LPS-treated PC12 cells were downregulated following SRX1 overexpression. Increased malondialdehyde content, decreased superoxide dismutase activity and reactive oxygen species production were also identified in PC12 cells treated with LPS using commercial detection kits, whereas the overexpression of SRX1 partially reversed the effects caused by LPS stimulation. The aforementioned results were further verified by determining the expression levels of antioxidative proteins using western blotting analysis. In addition, nuclear factor erythroid-2-related factor 2 (NRF2), a transcription factor known to regulate SRX1, was indicated to participate in the protective effect of SRX1 against oxidative stress. Inhibition of NRF2 further downregulated the expression levels of SRX1, NAD(P)H dehydrogenase quinone 1 and heme oxygenase-1 in the presence of LPS, while activation of NRF2 reversed the effects of LPS on the expression levels of these proteins. In conclusion, the results of the present study indicated that the anti-inflammatory and antioxidative effects of SRX1 may depend on NRF2, providing evidence that SRX1 may serve as a novel molecular target to exert a neuroprotective effect in SCI.
STUDY DESIGN:In vitro studies of the role of 17β-estradiol (E2) and its possible targets in intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD).OBJECTIVE:To define the regulatory role of E2 in IDD and the potential mechanisms.SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA:IDD has intricate etiology that is influenced by multiple risk factors. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms of occurrence and progression of IDD are not well elucidated. The degradation of extracellular matrix (ECM) has been extensively observed in IDD. E2 was found to inhibit ECM degradation in human nuleus pulposus cells (HNPCs), but the molecular mechanism remained to be determined.METHODS:Western blot and qPCR was performed to quantify the expression of target proteins in HNPCs. Luciferase reporter gene assay was applied to detect the effects of E2 and forkhead box O-3 (FOXO3) on matrix metalloproteinases (MMP)-3 promoter activity. Chromatin immunoprecipitation assay analyzed the binding of FOXO3 to MMP-3 and the effect of E2 on this process.RESULTS:We identified the upregulation of collagen II and aggrecan by E2 independent of time and concentration. And E2 downregulated MMP-3 expression in human nucleus pulposus cells. The phosphorylation of FOXO3 led to the reduction of MMP-3 promoter activity. Furthermore, 17β-estradiol-induced the activation of PI3K/Akt pathway is required for FOXO3 phosphorylated.CONCLUSION:E2 prevents the degradation of ECM by upregulating collagen II and aggrecan expression via reducing MMP-3 expression in HNPCs, and PI3K/Akt/FOXO3 pathway is dispensable for MMP-3 downregulated. Therefore, E2 protects against IDD by preventing ECM degradation.LEVEL OF EVIDENCE:3.
Objective: Cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) is the most common cause of spinal cord dysfunction. Our study aims to explore the correlation of osteoprotegerin (OPG) gene polymorphisms and the risk factors and severity of CSM. Patients and methods: The peripheral blood samples from 494 CSM patients and 515 healthy individuals were collected for detecting the 950T/C, 1181G/C and 163A/G genotypes and genetic equilibrium of OPG in the CSM and control groups and analyzing the genotype distribution and allele frequency. The severity of CSM and the impaired segments were evaluated by the Japanese Orthopedic Association (JOA) scoring combined with cervical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), in order to investigate the relations between the three genotypes of OPG promoter gene loci (950T/C, 163A/G and 1181G/C) and occurrence as well as severity of CSM. Results: The risk rate of TC genotype carrier suffered from CSM was 0.46, of TT genotype carrier was 0.27. The risk rate of T allele carrier suffered from CSM was 0.37. In 950T/C single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), patients with TC, TT and T genotypes had lower risk to suffer from CSM. Conclusion: Taken together, OPG 950T/C SNP protects against CSM, and it is correlated with the severity of CSM, providing a new idea for the prevention and treatment of CSM.
Objective:To observe the clinical effects of targeted percutanous ozone ablation on lumbar disc herniation (LDH) patients with high intensity zone (HIZ) in lumbar disc annulus fibrosus on MRI T2 weighted imaging.Methods:136 LDH patients with HIZ in lumbar disc annulus fibrosus on MRI T2 were divided into two groups according to therapy methods.In group A,75 patients were injected with 2 ~5 mL of 40 μg/mL mixture of O3 and O2 after targeted percutanous puncturing under the guidance of X-Ray machine with C-type arm.In group B,61 patients were treated with conservative treatment.MacNab score criterion and Oswestry disability index (ODI) were used in assessment of the efficacy.Results:Except 24 patients,all the other cases were followed up for 18 ~ 44 months.At the postoperative 1st,2nd,3rd,6th,9th,12th and 18th month,according to MacNab score criterion,the effective rates were respectively 88.00 %,90.67 %,93.33 %,89.39 %,84.85 %,78.13 % and 73.44 % in group A and respectively 68.85 %,62.30 % 55.74 %,61.82 %,58.12 %,54.17 % and 47.92 % in group B.There were significant differences between two groups at the same time point (P<0.05).At the postoperative 12th and 18th month,ODI was lower in group A,and there was no significant difference between two time points (P>0.05).But it was significant different with that preoperatively and in group B at the same time point (P<0.05).Conclusion:Targeted percutanous ozone ablation is an effective method with stable clinical efficacy in treating LDH with HIZ in lumbar disc annulus fibrosus on MRI T2 weighted imaging.
