Spontaneous multilevel lumbar pediculolysis associated with spondylolysis: a rare case and review of the literature.

Background: Pediculolysis is bone hypertrophy and pseudoarthrosis caused by pedicle fracture and has often been combined with contralateral spondylolysis in previous reports. Multilevel pediculolysis with spondylolysis is extremely rare, and we report a case who underwent surgery. Cases of multisegment pediculolysis were reviewed to inspire the diagnosis and treatment of similar pathological phenomena.

Clinical effect of full endoscopic lumbar annulus fibrosus suture.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical efficacy of full endoscopic lumbar annulus fibrosus suture in the treatment of single-segment lumbar disc herniation (LDH).

Methods: The clinical data of patients with single-segment LDH who underwent full endoscopic lumbar discectomy from January 2017 to January 2019 in our hospital were retrospectively analysed. Patients with full endoscopic lumbar discectomy combined with annulus fibrosus suture were divided into group A, and those with simple full endoscopic lumbar discectomy were divided into group B.

Management of floating hip injury: a review of the literature.

Aim: The aim of this study was to provide a comprehensive overview of floating hip injury and attempt to provide a management algorithm.

Methods: PubMed was searched using the terms 'Floating hip' or 'acetabular fracture' and 'Ipsilateral femoral fracture' or 'pelvic fracture' and 'Ipsilateral femoral fracture'. One author performed a preliminary review of the abstracts and references of the retrieved articles.

Identification of a Novel Gene Expression Signature Associated with Amino Acid Metabolism (AAM) in Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS).

Background: Studies have proven that amino acid metabolism (AAM) plays an important role in ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Therefore, this study identified key AAM-related genes (AAMRGs) for the diagnosis and prediction of AS.

Methods: Firstly, the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified between AS and normal groups in the GSE25101 and GSE73754 datasets downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database, and they were intersected to get common DEGs (Co-DEGs).

Comparison of clinical and radiological outcomes of vertebral body stenting versus percutaneous kyphoplasty for the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objectives: The study aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) and vertebral body stenting (VBS) in the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs) and evaluate the clinical efficacy, Cobb angle correction, and cement leakage associated with both methods for OVCFs.

Patients And Methods: A systematic search was conducted in PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, Medline, China National Knowledge, and Wanfang Data for clinical studies comparing VBS with PKP for OVCF up to May 2023. The meta-analysis was performed using Review Manager 5.

Hidden blood loss and its risk factors in percutaneous vertebroplasty surgery for osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures.

Objectives: Percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) is a percutaneous interventional procedure for osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs). However, hidden blood loss (HBL) during the surgery is easily disregarded. This study aimed to evaluate HBL and its possible risk factors in the patients following PVP for OVCFs.

EMT-related gene expression is positively correlated with immunity and may be derived from stromal cells in osteosarcoma.

Background: Osteosarcoma is the most common type of bone cancer in children and young adults. Recent studies have shown a correlation between epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-related gene expression and immunity in human cancers. Here, we investigated the relationship among EMT, immune activity, stromal activity and tumor purity in osteosarcoma.
