Article Synopsis
- Cauda equina herniation (CEH) is a rare but serious complication that can occur after lumbar spine surgery, as illustrated by a case of a 36-year-old female patient who developed symptoms following an endoscopic procedure.
- The patient initially presented with symptoms related to nerve compression and was later diagnosed with cerebrospinal fluid leakage, leading to additional interventions and treatment for urinary and bowel issues.
- After several months and failed conservative management, the patient underwent a successful surgical revision using 3D microscopy, which significantly improved her pain and constipation, highlighting the need for careful monitoring and intervention in cases of CEH.

Background: Articular cartilage and cartilage matrix degradation are key pathological changes occurring in the early stage of knee osteoarthritis (KOA). However, currently, there are limited strategies for early prevention and treatment of KOA. Duhuo Jisheng Decoction (DHJSD) is a formula quoted in Bei Ji Qian jin Yao Fang, which was compiled by Sun Simiao in the Tang Dynasty of China.

Method: This study was supported by the Sichuan Provincial Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine [grant number: 2020LC0163] and the Science and Technology Department of Sichuan Province [grant number: 2022YFS0418].
Objective: To evaluate the biomechanical influence after percutaneous endoscopic lumbar facetectomy in different diameters on segmental range of motion (ROM) and intradiscal pressure (IDP) of the relevant segments by establishing three dimensional finite element (FE) model.
Methods: An intact L3-5 model was successfully constructed from the CT of a healthy volunteer as Model A (MA). The Model B (MB), Model C (MC) and Model D (MD) were obtained through facetectomy on L4 inferior facet in diameters 7.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how different portions of facet joint foraminoplasty impact the range of motion (ROM) and intradiscal pressure (IDP) in lumbar spine segments using a three-dimensional finite element model.
- A male volunteer's CT data was used to create a model that simulated foraminoplasty on the superior facet elements, allowing comparison of ROM and IDP under various movement conditions.
- Results showed that modifying the tip of the facet increased ROM and IDP significantly during backward extension and right axial rotation, while changes from modifying the base were minimal, suggesting that the location of foraminoplasty can influence spinal mechanics.
Background: We set out to evaluate the biomechanical influence of foraminoplasty on intervertebral discs in different areas under lumber percutaneous endoscopy through the use of a three-dimensional finite element.
Methods: We established a normal 3D finite element mode of L3-5, using simulate lumbar percutaneous endoscopy by carrying out cylindrical excision of a bone whose diameter was 7.5 mm on the L5 superior articular process and the L4 inferior articular process, respectively.
Introduction: Percutaneous endoscopic lumbar disectomy (PELD) is one of the most popular minimally invasive techniques of spinal surgery in recent years. At present, there are 2 main surgical approaches in PELD: foraminal approach and interlaminar approach. What's more, foraminoplasty is a necessary step for both approaches.

Therefore, in addition to the lumbar, the lower thoracic vertebra (T9-T12) often has the clinical needs of implantation of cortical bone trajectory (CBT) screws. However, the anatomic parameters of the lower thoracic vertebrae are quite different from those of the lumbar vertebrae, which means that if CBT screws are to be implanted in the lower thoracic vertebrae, the selection of the screw entry point, the length, diameter, angle and path of the screws in each segment need to be redefined.

Method MEDLINE, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library database were used to identify potential studies. The studies were divided into cross-sectional and longitudinal subsets.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: We assessed the relationship between cognitive impairment (including mild cognitive impairment with no signs of dementia, and dementia) and risk for depression in old age (60 years and older).
Methods: MEDLINE, EMBASE and the Cochrane Library database were used to identify potential studies. All of the clinical studies that produced data on the association between cognitive function and risk of depression among individuals aged 55 years or older were identified and included in this review.
Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the link between education levels and the risk of depression in older adults, aiming to clarify whether less education increases depressive symptoms in late life.
- The research analyzed data from 24 cross-sectional and 12 longitudinal studies, which included over 50,000 participants, and revealed that individuals with less education faced a significantly higher risk of depression.
- The findings suggest that lower educational attainment is correlated with a heightened risk of late life depression, despite some limitations in the study’s methodology.
