Normal spinopelvic parameters and correlation analysis in 217 asymptomatic children.

Background: Understanding spinal sagittal balance is crucial for assessing and treating spinal deformities in pediatric populations.

Objective: The aim of the present observational study is to examine the parameters of sagittal alignment of the regional spine and spinopelvic region in asymptomatic pediatric populations and the characteristics of these parameters with age and sex.

Methods: We enrolled 217 participants, consisting of 112 males (51.

Repair of Delayed Meningeal Cyst after Spinal Surgery with Paraspinal Muscle Flap under Microscope.

Background: Delayed meningeal cyst (DMC) is a rare complication after spinal surgery that is often ignored by clinicians, and its in-depth research is infrequent. In particular, no consensus has been reached about its surgical treatment. We found that patients with a DMC failed after conservative treatment, epidural blood patch, subarachnoid drainage, and initial attempts to eliminate the meningeal cyst.

Assessment of spino cranial angle of cervical spine sagittal balance system after multi-level anterior cervical discectomy and fusion.

Background: To analyze the impact of spino cranial angle (SCA) on alteration of cervical alignment after multi-level anterior cervical discectomy fusion (ACDF) and explore the relationship between SCA and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) scores.

Material And Methods: In total, 49 patients following multi-level ACDF for multi-level cervical spondylotic myelopathy (MCSM) with more than 2 years follow-up period were enrolled. Radiographic data including SCA were measured.

The change of cervical sagittal parameters plays an important role in clinical outcomes of cervical spondylotic myelopathy after multi-level anterior cervical discectomy and fusion.

Background: Cervical sagittal parameters were closely related with clinical outcomes after multi-level ACDF. Our purpose was to evaluate the clinical outcomes and cervical sagittal parameters in patients with MCSM after ACDF and to identify the risk factors of poor clinical outcomes.

Material And Methods: ACDF was performed in 89 patients with MCSM.

Do Modic changes affect cervical sagittal alignment and motion in symptomatic patients?

Purpose: The cervical segmental instability often occurs simultaneously with Modic changes (MCs). However, it is unknown whether there is a relation between the two diseases. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between MCs and cervical segmental instability, cervical curvature and range of motion (ROM) in the cervical spine.

[Chemical constituents from the twigs and leaves of Harrisonia perforate].

This study was performed to investigate the chemical constituents in the twigs and leaves of Harrisonia perforate. Six compounds were isolated from the 95% EtOH extract of the twigs and leaves of Harrisonia perforate by silica gel, ODS, Sephadex LH-20 column chromatographies and preparative HPLC. On the basis of chemical properties and spectra data, these compounds were identified as harriperfin E (1), kihadanin A (2), kihadanin B (3), 6α-acetoxyobacunol acetate (4), gardaubryone C (5), and β-sitosterol methyl ether (6), respectively.
