Anterior column realignment via a minimally invasive hybrid approach in adult spinal deformity surgery: a short-term retrospective study.

Background: Anterior column realignment (ACR) is a novel surgical method for correcting spinal sagittal balance. meanwhile, oblique lumbar interbody fusion (OLIF) and anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF) are considered minimally invasive surgical methods through natural anatomical space. This study aimed to explore the corrective effects and clinical outcomes of OLIF or ALIF combined with ACR technology in patients with adult spinal deformity (ASD).

Hidden blood loss of minimally invasive hybrid lumbar interbody fusion: an analysis of influencing factors.

Background: Lumbar interbody fusion(LIF) is the leading way to treat Lumbar Degenerative Diseases(LDD). At present, there is a lack of research on the influencing factors of hidden blood loss in minimally invasive hybrid lumbar interbody fusion. This study comprehensively explores the definite factors affecting the hidden blood loss in minimally invasive hybrid lumbar interbody fusion.

[Effect of water depths on hydraulic performance of pond wetlands].

Pond wetlands have been widely used in the treatment of drainage water from paddy fields. However, wetland hydraulic performance and purification effects are affected by many factors, such as water depth, flow rate, aspect ratio and vegetation distribution, and the better understanding of these factors would be helpful to improve the quality of wetland design, operation and management. This paper analyzed the effect of three different water depths (20, 40 and 60 cm) on the hydraulic performance of pond wetland through the dye tracer experiments with Rhodamine WT.

[Surgical intervention and radiotherapy outcome of solitary plasmacytoma of cervical spine].

Objective: To study the clinical features, treatment methods and outcome of solitary plasmacytoma of cervical spine.

Methods: From January 1995 to December 2007, the data of 23 cases with solitary plasmacytoma of cervical spine was analyzed. There were 16 males and 7 females (mean age 56 years, range: 32 - 76 years).
