Background: Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common primary malignant bone neoplasm. Growing researches have highlighted the tumor promoting role of miR-615-3p in various cancers. Notwithstanding, the biological function and underlying mechanisms of miR-615-3p in OS development still unclear.

Article Synopsis
  • Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) involves cell loss and material breakdown, linked to cellular aging and immune cell presence; the study aimed to identify key genes and immune characteristics related to this degeneration.
  • Researchers analyzed four gene expression datasets to find senescence-related genes that are expressed differently in IDD patients compared to controls, ultimately identifying ten crucial genes through protein interaction analyses.
  • The results indicated two patient clusters with differing characteristics, highlighting significant differences in extracellular matrix processes and immune cell levels, pinpointing potential biomarkers like IGFBP3 and NQO1 for further study.

Study Design: Retrospective study.

Objective: To investigate whether lumbar apex position had an impact on the development of adjacent segment disease (ASD) following transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF).

Summary Of Background Data: Previous studies have demonstrated that solely concentrating on lumbar lordosis value is not suitable, and neglecting the significance of lumbar apex can lead to mechanical complications.

Background: Recent studies demonstrated that restoring sagittal alignment to the original Roussouly type can remarkably reduce complication rates after adult spinal deformity surgery. However, there is still no data proving the benefit of maintaining ideal Roussouly shape in the lumbar degenerative diseases and its association with the development of adjacent segment disease (ASD). Thus, this study was performed to validate the usefulness of Roussouly classification to predict the occurrence of ASD after lumbar fusion surgery.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of sagittal alignment according to age-adjusted pelvic incidence minus lumbar lordosis (PI-LL) and lordosis distribution index (LDI) on the occurrence of adjacent-segment disease (ASD) after lumbar fusion surgery.

Methods: This study retrospectively reviewed 234 consecutive patients with lumbar degenerative diseases who underwent 1- or 2-level lumbar fusion surgery. Demographic and radiographic (preoperative and 3-month postoperative) data were collected and compared between ASD and non-ASD groups.

Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common primary malignant neoplasm of the bone. Recent studies have indicated that the inhibitory effects of microRNA (miR)-324-3p could affect the development of numerous cancers. However, its biological roles and underlying mechanisms in OS progression remain unexplored.

Study Design: A retrospective case series.

Objective: To investigate whether unmatched rod contouring at the proximal end predisposed to the occurrence of proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK) in early-onset scoliosis (EOS) patients after traditional growing rods (TGR) treatment. TGR treatment has become a mainstay of treatment for EOS patients.

Objectives: To compare the differences in sagittal spinopelvic parameters between patients receiving monosegmental or multisegmental lumbar fusion and to assess the impact of fusion length on sitting balance.

Methods: The current study recruited 41 patients who had undergone lumbar fusion, consisting of 18 in the monosegmental group and 23 in the multisegmental group. And the control group included 50 lumbar degenerative patients who had no previous spinal fusion surgery.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate reversal of vertebral wedging and to evaluate the contribution of vertebral remodeling to correction maintenance in patients with adolescent Scheuermann's kyphosis (SK) after posterior-only instrumented correction.

Methods: A retrospective cohort study of patients with SK was performed. In total, 45 SK patients aged 10-20 years at surgery were included.

Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate the incidence and risk factors of coronal imbalance (CI) in patients with early-onset scoliosis (EOS) who underwent growing rod (GR) treatment.

Methods: A consecutive series of 61 patients with EOS (25 boys and 36 girls, mean age 5.8 ± 1.

Study Design: A retrospective study.

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the ability of Global Alignment and Proportion (GAP) score to predict the occurrence of adjacent segment degeneration (ASD) after fusion surgery for lumbar degenerative diseases.

Summary Of Background Data: The recently developed GAP score was applied to predict postoperative complications for adult spinal deformity, as well as to facilitate future outcome-based research on optimal treatment for various spinal conditions.

Study Design: A retrospective study.

Objectives: To investigate the incidence, management and outcome of delayed deep surgical site infection (SSI) after the spinal deformity surgery.

Methods: This study reviewed 5044 consecutive patients who underwent spinal deformity corrective surgery and had been followed over 2 years.

We investigated the association among metabolically healthy obesity (MHO), cardiovascular disease (CVD)risk, and all-cause mortality in the Asian population. We searched databases from inception to 16 November, 2019 and pooled data using a random-effects model. Subgroup analysis was conducted according to the following comparison groups: MHNW (without overweight or underweight participants) and MHNO (non-obese, including overweight and underweight participants).

Robust point set registration is a challenging problem, especially in the cases of noise, outliers, and partial overlapping. Previous methods generally formulate their objective functions based on the mean-square error (MSE) loss and, hence, are only able to register point sets under predefined constraints (e.g.

Background And Aims: Radioiodine-refractory advanced or metastatic thyroid cancer has poor prognosis. We conducted a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) for advanced or metastatic thyroid cancer treatment.

Methods: Studies published up to April 2017 were selected.
