Risk Factors for Residual Back Pain After PVP Treatment for osteoporotic Thoracolumbar Compression Fractures: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

Objectives: To explore the risk factors of residual back pain after percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) in patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF).

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the records of 675 patients with OVCF treated with PVP from January 2015 to January 2020. Postoperative back pain intensity was assessed by the VAS score.

Baicalein alleviates TNF-α-induced apoptosis of human nucleus pulposus cells through PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.

Background: Nucleus pulposus (NP) cell apoptosis contributed to disc degeneration. Baicalein, a natural steroid saponin, has been demonstrated to have anti-inflammatory, antiapoptotic, and antioxidative effects in various diseases. However, little is known about the roles of baicalein in intervertebral disc degeneration.

[Clinical observation of axial offset after treatment by Ilizarov bone transport technology].

Objective: To observe the incidence, causes and deviation angle of axial offset in patients with fracture ununited treated by Ilizarov bone transport technology.

Methods: From January 2007 to December 2012, 10 patients with fracture ununited were treated by Ilizarov bone transport including 8 males and 2 females with an average age of (30.3 ± 10.
