Is reduction or arthrodesis in situ the optimal choice for adolescent spondylolisthesis?-a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Controversy remains about the choice of reduction or arthrodesis in situ for surgical management of adolescent spondylolisthesis, while no systematic review and meta-analysis were performed to determine which one is the optimal surgical choice. The study aims to compare outcomes of the two surgical strategies for adolescent spondylolisthesis.

Methods: A comprehensive search was performed through PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Embase, OVID/MEDLINE, CBM, CNKI, and Wanfang with a cutoff date of May 21st, 2021.

Aberrant Expression of PAFAH1B3 Affects Proliferation and Apoptosis in Osteosarcoma.

Osteosarcoma is a major malignant tumor of bone and soft tissue, which is presenting with early metastasis and a high mortality rate. Platelet activating factor acetylhydrolase 1B3 (PAFAH1B3), a cancer-relevant molecular, was found to play a vital role in tumorigenesis and aggressiveness in several cancer types. However, the roles and the regulating mechanisms of PAFAH1B3 in osteosarcoma progression remain unclear.
