A suture technique combining annulus fibrosis with posterior longitudinal ligament for lumbar disc herniation under endoscopy.

Purpose: To investigate the clinical feasibility, efficacy and safety of a suture technique combining annulus fibrosus with posterior longitudinal ligament under full endoscopy in patients with lumbar disc herniation.

Methods: Retrospective case-control study. A total of 412 patients with lumbar disc herniation treated in our hospital from January 2020 to November 2022 were enrolled and analyzed.

Endoscopic obturator nerve radiofrequency ablation for femoral head necrosis: a case series.

Background: This pilot case series evaluated the feasibility and effectiveness of using endoscopic radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of the articular branch of the anterior obturator nerve under endoscopic and fluoroscopic guidance for controlling pain in patients with osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH).

Methods: Data on 11 consecutive patients were collected with ONFH underwent endoscopic RFA of the anterior obturator nerve. Electromyography (EMG) examination was performed preoperatively and postoperatively.

Prognostic value of systemic immune-inflammation index/albumin ratio for immunotherapy-treated patients receiving opioids.

Objective: This study evaluated the effect of the systemic immune-inflammation index/albumin ratio (SII/ALB) on the prognosis of immunotherapy-treated patients receiving opioids.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted of 185 immunotherapy-treated patients who received opioids at Xuzhou Central Hospital from 01/09/2021 to 01/09/2023. The results of related clinical data were collected during the week before the cancer patients received immunotherapy.

A Multi-Element Identification System Based on Deep Learning for the Visual Field of Percutaneous Endoscopic Spine Surgery.

Background: Lumbar disc herniation is a common degenerative lumbar disease with an increasing incidence. Percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy can treat lumbar disc herniation safely and effectively with a minimally invasive procedure. However, the learning curve of this technology is steep, which means that initial learners are often not sufficiently proficient in endoscopic operations, which can easily lead to iatrogenic damage.

Postoperative MRI Findings Following PELD and Their Correlations with Clinical Prognosis are Investigated by Injecting Contrast into Annulus Fibrosus Intraoperatively.

Objective: To validate whether a residual mass demonstrated on early postoperative MR after percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy (PELD) is indeed an intraoperatively retained annulus fibrosus, and explore the correlation between imaging changes in the residual mass and clinical prognosis of patients.

Methods: A prospective study of 118 patients were included. During surgery, a contrast medium, Gadopentetate Dimeglumine, was injected around the ruptured annulus fibrosus.

EMNPD: a comprehensive endophytic microorganism natural products database for prompt the discovery of new bioactive substances.

The discovery and utilization of natural products derived from endophytic microorganisms have garnered significant attention in pharmaceutical research. While remarkable progress has been made in this field each year, the absence of dedicated open-access databases for endophytic microorganism natural products research is evident. To address the increasing demand for mining and sharing of data resources related to endophytic microorganism natural products, this study introduces EMNPD, a comprehensive endophytic microorganism natural products database comprising manually curated data.

CCL12 induces trabecular bone loss by stimulating RANKL production in BMSCs during acute lung injury.

In the last three years, the capacity of health care systems and the public health policies of governments worldwide were challenged by the spread of SARS-CoV-2. Mortality due to SARS-CoV-2 mainly resulted from the development of acute lung injury (ALI)/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Moreover, millions of people who survived ALI/ARDS in SARS-CoV-2 infection suffer from multiple lung inflammation-induced complications that lead to disability and even death.

Percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy the medial foraminal and interlaminar approaches: A comparative study with 2-year follow-up.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to analyze the clinical effect of percutaneous endoscopic medial foraminal discectomy (PEMFD) in the treatment of lumbar disc herniation (LDH).

Methods: We retrospectively examined and compared clinical data from 39 single-level LDH patients who underwent PEID and 47 who underwent PEMFD. All the patients were diagnosed with single-level LDH and were treated in Xuzhou Central Hospital for single-segmental lumbar disc herniation between June 2017 and December 2019.

A retrospective study of the mid-term efficacy of full-endoscopic annulus fibrosus suture following lumbar discectomy.

Aims: Full-endoscopic discectomy is associated with a high risk of disc reherniation due to the poor mechanical strength of the annulus fibrosus after scar healing. It is technically difficult to place a full-endoscopic annulus fibrosus suture. We designed an annulus fibrosus suture device that can be used to suture annulus defects under microendoscopy.
