Article Synopsis
- Lumbar disc herniation (LDH) is a common health issue causing leg or back pain, prompting a clinical trial to assess the effectiveness of Yaobitong capsules (YBT) compared to Jingyaokang capsules (JYK).
- The trial involved 479 patients who received either YBT or JYK, with outcomes measured using the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) and visual analogue scale (VAS) over 30 days.
- Results indicated that YBT significantly improved ODI and VAS scores compared to JYK at various time points, with both treatments having similar safety profiles, suggesting YBT as a more effective option for LDH.
The most frequent internal modification in eukaryotic mRNA is N6-methyladenosine (m6A). However, what we know about the m6A regulators in Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is still limited. In our study, eight distinct m6A regulators were selected utilizing Differentially Expressed Gene (DEG) analysis of the Gene Expression Omnibus GSE73754 dataset for making comparisons between AS (Ankylosing spondylitis) and non-AS patients.

However, little is known about risk factors for the occurrence of ICD.
Objective: The present study aimed to identify independent risk factors of the emergence of ICD.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to develop a method for detecting spinal tuberculosis (TB) using the ELISPOT assay and investigate the efficacy of the CFP10/ESAT6 fusion protein in diagnosing spinal TB.
- Data were collected from patients suspected of having spinal TB in two hospitals over 18 months, with a focus on comparing ELISPOT with traditional diagnostic methods.
- The results indicated that the ELISPOT assay demonstrated higher sensitivity and specificity (82.7% and 87.2%, respectively) compared to conventional tests like the PPD skin test and antibody detection, suggesting it is a reliable supplementary diagnostic tool for spinal TB.
