Article Synopsis
- China faced an initial peak and decline of COVID-19 cases in early 2020, leading to ongoing regional outbreaks and resurgences in other countries.
- In Guangzhou, a small outbreak under 100 cases prompted extensive genomic surveillance, revealing diverse viral variants primarily transmitted within households rather than on flights.
- Enhanced public health measures for overseas travelers, including mandatory testing and quarantine, were found effective in containing the virus's spread and highlighted the importance of genomic data for informing public health strategies.
Objective: To explore clinical application of the new three-dimensional foramen guide in percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy.
Methods: Based on the principle of reverse positioning, a new three-dimensional foramen guide was designed. From May 2016 to May 2018, totally 40 patients with segmental lumbar disc herniation were underwent percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy.
Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the sagittal profiles of patients with idiopathic scoliosis and how those profiles relate to the progression of their spinal curves.
- It categorizes 97 patients into three groups based on their Cobb angles (a measure of curvature) and growth potential, comparing their thoracic kyphosis and Cobb angles among these groups.
- Results show that patients with non-progression of scoliosis have a significantly lower average Cobb angle and higher thoracic kyphosis compared to those with moderate or severe progression, indicating a potential connection between these sagittal parameters and curve progression.
Objective: To analyze the advantages and disadvantages of bipedicular approach and uni-extrapedicular approach of vertebroplasty in treating osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs).
Methods: From January 2008 to December 2010,53 patients with OVCFs were retrospectively analyzed. There were 24 males, 30 females with an average age of 66.
Objective: To assess the clinical and radiographic outcomes of posterior lumbar fixation and posterior interbody fusion or improved transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion for Meyerding grade II/III spondylolisthesis so as to address the suitability of a dynamic stabilization.
Methods: A total of 28 consecutive patients underwent posterior lumbar fixation and posterior interbody fusion or improved transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion for Meyerding grade II/III spondylolisthesis. Among them, 13 patients underwent posterior interface fusion (PLIF) and pedicle screw fixation.

Objective: To evaluate the clinical efficacies, indications and application values of posterior fusion plus pedicle screw fixation in the treatment of upper cervical spine instability.
Methods: From May 2006 to December 2010, a total of 24 patients with atlantoaxial instability were treated with C1-2 pedicle screws and rod fixation under general anesthesia. There were 18 males and 6 females with a mean age of 49.
Between January 1996 and December 2003, our department treated 16 patients (10 men and 6 women; average age 57.5 years) by performing a laminectomy for thoracic myelopathy caused by ossification of the ligamentum flavum (OLF). We followed up all patients for 36 to 86 months (mean follow-up time, 57.
