[Application of femoral I.D.E.A.L localization in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with single bundle anterior cruciate ligament].

Objective: To evaluate the effect of femoral I.D.E.

"Adjacent Bed Effect" of Total Knee Arthroplasty Patients During the Perioperative Period.

Background: Knee osteoarthropathy is one of the most common degenerative joint diseases in the elderly, total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is the most commonly used treatment for end-stage knee osteoarthropathy. Negative emotions such as anxiety have been extensively documented in knee osteoarthropathy patients.

Aim: This study aimed to investigate the Emotional Contagion during hospitalization in patients undergoing TKA.

The Effect of Medial Branch Block on Postoperative Residual Pain Relieve After Percutaneous Kyphoplasty: A Randomized Controlled Trial With 12-Month Follow-up.

Background: Percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) is a minimally invasive technique, and effective treatment, for an osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF). Residual back pain is the most common complication of PKP. Medial branch block (MBB) is a treatment option for painful OVCF, it can break the vicious cycle to release short- or long-term pain.

An assessment of morphological and pathological changes in paravertebral muscle degeneration using imaging and histological analysis: a cross-sectional study.

Background: The high signal of paravertebral muscle (PVM) on T2-weighted image (T2WI) is usually considered to be fatty degeneration. However, it is difficult to distinguish inflammatory edema from fatty degeneration on T2WI. The purpose of this study was to identify different types of PVM high signal in patients with low back pain (LBP) through magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and histology.

Maltol inhibits the progression of osteoarthritis the nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor-2/heme oxygenase-1 signal pathway and .

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common degenerative joint disease characterized by articular cartilage degeneration and inflammation. Currently, there is hardly any effective treatment for OA due to its complicated pathology and the severe side effects of the treatment drugs used. It has been reported that maltol, a Maillard reaction product derived from ginseng, inhibits inflammation and oxidative stress in several animal models.

Glycyrrhizin inhibits osteoarthritis development through suppressing the PI3K/AKT/NF-κB signaling pathway in vivo and in vitro.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a serious and frequently occurring disease in the elderly, characterized by cartilage degeneration and proliferation of bone structure. Glycyrrhizin, a compound extracted from licorice, has been reported to have various important biological activities, such as antioxidant properties and anti-inflammatory action. However, it has not been reported whether glycyrrhizin has a positive effect on OA development.

Inhibition of Rac1 activity by NSC23766 prevents cartilage endplate degeneration via Wnt/β-catenin pathway.

Cartilage endplate (CEP) degeneration has been considered as one of important factors related to intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD). Previous researches have showed that Rac1 played a pivotal role in chondrocyte differentiation. However, the effect of Rac1 during the process of CEP degeneration remains unclear.

The projection of the thoracic nerve roots and their connection with intervertebral discs: a cadaver and radiological study.

Background: The anatomical features of the thoracic nerve roots in connection with intervertebral discs may prevent surgery-related complications and improve patients' neurological functional status during thoracic spine surgery. There is limited literature evidence regarding this concept using cadavers.

Purpose: To elucidate the qualitative anatomical features of the thoracic nerve roots in connection with intervertebral discs.

Inhibition of EZH2 ameliorates cartilage endplate degeneration and attenuates the progression of intervertebral disc degeneration via demethylation of Sox-9.

Background: Cartilaginous endplate (CEP) degeneration is considered as one of the major causes of intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) which causes low back pain. Recent studies have proved that epigenetic alteration is involved in a variety of diseases. This work explored the role of histone methyltransferase enhancer of zeste homologue 2 (EZH2) in CEP degeneration, as well as its underlying epigenetic mechanisms, and confirmed the effect of EZH2 knockdown on delaying IVDD development.

Cyanidin ameliorates the progression of osteoarthritis via the Sirt6/NF-κB axis in vitro and in vivo.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most prevalent form of human arthritis which is characterized by the degradation of cartilage and inflammation. As a rare Sirt6 activator, cyanidin is the major component of anthocyanins commonly found in the Mediterranean diet, and increasing evidence has shown that cyanidin exhibits anti-inflammatory effects in a variety of diseases. However, the anti-inflammatory effects of cyanidin on OA have not been reported.

Vacuum Facet Phenomenon in Computed Tomography Imaging: A Sign of Instability in Degenerative Spondylolisthesis?

Objective: The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between vacuum facet phenomena and lumbar instability in patients with degenerative spondylolisthesis (DS) in L4-L5.

Methods: Patients with L4-L5 DS who had both lumbosacral flexion-extension radiographs and computed tomography (CT) scans available for review from January 2016 to December 2017 were eligible for the present study. The dynamic motion index (DMI) of each patient was used to represent the percentage of slippage of L-L4 on the L5 vertebral disks on the flexion radiographs minus the percentage on the extension radiographs.
