Histone lactylation is a novel epigenetic regulator that is reported to participate in gene expression. Ferroptosis is an oxidative form of cell death and chondrocyte ferroptosis crucially impacts the development of osteoarthritis (OA). The study aimed at investigating the effect of lactate dehydrogenase B (LDHB) and its mediated histone lactylation on chondrocyte ferroptosis during OA. Our study focused on the establishment of in vivo mouse model and in vitro interleukin-1β (IL-1β)-induced chondrocytes model and administrated LDHB knockdown (siLDHB). Histopathological assessment of cartilage was conducted via HE staining, while serum levels of cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) and crosslinked C-telopeptides of type II collagen (CTX-II) were quantified using ELISA to evaluate OA severity. The matrix degradation was further examined by expression of Collagen II and Aggrecan. Levels of total iron, ferrous iron (Fe2+), and lipid reactive oxygen species (ROS) were considered measurements of ferroptosis. Assessment of cell viability and proliferation relied on cell counting kit 8 (CCK-8) together with colony formation assay. Western blotting assay served for detecting the relative expression of proteins and protein lactylation. The epigenetic regulation of ACSL4 by LDHB was determined by chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) and luciferase reporter gene assay. OA mice presented remarkably elevated protein level of LDHB and H3K18 lactylation in the cartilage versus the sham group. Knockdown of LDHB downregulated the levels of COMP and CTX-II, as well as alleviated chondrocyte ferroptosis in vitro and in vivo. Results from ChIP and luciferase reporter gene assay demonstrated direct histone lactylation of ACSL promoter, and knockdown of LDHB and treatment with LDH inhibitor reduced histone lactylation and expression of ACSL4. ACSL4 overexpression could reverse the impact of LDHB depletion on chondrocyte proliferation and ferroptosis. LDHB promotes ACSL4 by histone lactylation to induce chondrocyte ferroptosis, which further contributes to OA development. The findings in the study assist in understanding the modulating mechanism of LDHB-mediated lactylation against chondrocyte ferroptosis in OA progression.
Objective. Spinal cord injury (SCI) is one of the most devastating central injuries, resulting in serious locomotor deficits. Triad1 is known to play an important role in SCI, but its effects on the inflammatory response and physiological behavior have not been thoroughly studied. This study is aimed at examining the effects of Triad1 on the inflammatory response and neuronal injury in acute SCI in rats. Methods. Twenty-four male Sprague–Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into a control group, SCI group, sh-NC group, and Triad1 knockout group (sh-Triad1). The Basso Beattie Bresnahan locomotor rating scale was utilized for the assessment of the motor ability of rats. Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E), Luxol fast blue (LFB), and TUNEL staining were used to assess the pathological injury, demyelination, and neuronal apoptosis, respectively. ELISA was used to detect the levels of IL-1β, IL-10, and TNF-α, and qRT-PCR was used to examine the expression level of Triad1. Furthermore, the protein levels of Triad1, Bax, Bcl-2, and cleaved caspase-3 were determined using western blotting. Results. The Triad1 expression level was upregulated in damaged spinal cord tissue. Knockdown of Triad1 improved motor function and reduced SCI as well as apoptosis of spinal cord neurons. In addition, the knockdown of Triad1 inhibited the inflammatory response caused by SCI. Conclusion. Knockdown of Triad1 can reduce SCI in rats with acute SCI by inhibiting the inflammatory response and apoptosis.

In the past 10 years, the technology of percutaneous spine endoscopy has been continuously developed. The indications have expanded from simple lumbar disc herniation to various degenerative diseases of the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine. Traditional surgery for the treatment of cervical radiculopathy includes anterior cervical decompression surgery, anterior cervical decompression plus fusion surgery, and posterior limited fenestration surgery. This article mainly studies the treatment of cervical spondylosis caused by radiculopathy caused by the nucleus resection of the posterior cervical spine percutaneous spinal endoscopy based on deep learning. In the PPECD group, the height of the intervertebral cavity was measured before the operation and during the final follow-up, and the height change of the intervertebral cavity was evaluated. The relative angle and relative displacement of the sagittal plane of the operation segment in the PPECD group were measured, and the stability was evaluated. Using the cervical spine X-ray Kelvin degeneration evaluation criteria, before and during the final follow-up operation, the degeneration of the adjacent segments of the two groups was evaluated. A retrospective analysis of 26 cases of cervical radiculopathy that met the criteria for diagnosis, inclusion, and exclusion was reviewed. Among them, 11 cases were treated with PPECD surgery; 15 cases were treated with ACDF surgery. According to the evaluation method of Odom, the excellent rate and the good rate of the two groups were compared. According to the location of the lesion, the nerve detection or dull tip device is exposed under the armpit or shoulder of the nerve root, and the protruding nucleus pulposus tissue is explored and removed, and annulus fibrosus is performed as needed. After hemostasis was detected, the surgical instruments were removed and the surgical incision was completely sutured. Before the operation and 3 months after the operation, the final follow-up made no significant difference in the overall average height of the intervertebral cavity (F = 2.586, P>0.05). The results show that posterior foramen expansion is an effective surgical method for the treatment of cervical spondylotic radiculopathy, but surgical adaptation requires strict management. In order to achieve satisfactory results, appropriate cases must be selected.
BACKGROUND This study aimed to investigate the therapeutic and prognostic effects of percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic decompression (PTED) for degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis (DLSS). MATERIAL AND METHODS One hundred eighty-eight patients with DLSS were randomly divided into the fenestration and the PTED group for decompression treatment. Operative time, incision length, amount of blood loss, length of hospitalization, and rates of complications in the 2 groups were compared. All patients underwent computed tomography (CT) scanning and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) on the first postoperative day. All patients were assessed preoperatively and the treatment effects at 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively were evaluated using visual analog scale (VAS), Japanese Orthopedic Association Score (JOA) and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI). The modified MacNab criteria were used to assess patient satisfaction 1 year after surgery at the last follow-up. RESULTS Patients who underwent PTED had shorter incisions, less blood loss, and shorter hospital stays than those in the fenestration group, but operative times and complication rates were similar in the 2 groups. Moreover, CT scanning and MRI revealed similar treatment effects in the 2 groups. Compared with preoperative status, improvements in VAS, ODI, and JOA scores occurred at different times after surgery in the 2 groups. In particular, all 3 scores in the PTED group were higher than those in the fenestration group at 3 and 6 months postoperatively. There were no significant differences in MacNab scores between the 2 groups. CONCLUSIONS PTED is safer and more effective than traditional fenestration for management of DLSS.

Objective:To detect the expressions of CD 44V6 and β-catenin in osteosarcoma and to analyze the association of their expressions with migration and invasion of osteosarcoma cells. Methods:Expressions of CD 44V6 and β-catenin were examined by immunohistochemical SP method in 35 specimens of human osteosarcoma tissues, 15 specimens with osteochondroma, and 15 cases of normal bone tissues. Results:The positive expressions of CD 44V6 and β-catenin were significantly higher in osteosarcoma than osteochondroma and normal control tissues (P0.01). Their expressions significantly correlated with clinical staging, tumor metastasis, and 2-year death (P0.05); but had no correlation with the age and gender of patients, tumor size, histological classification, and with or without preoperative chemotherapy (P0.05). In osteosarcoma, expression of CD 44V6 was positively associated with the expression of β-catenin (P0.01). Conclusion:The positive expressions of CD 44V6 and β-catenin closely correlate with the occurrence, development, and metastasis of osteosarcoma. They may play synergistic role in the invasion and metastasis of osteosarcoma. Combined detection of CD 44V6 and β-catenin may be used as an indicater for diagnosis and prognosis of metastasis of osteosarcoma.
