Early result of percutaneous full-endoscopic transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion in the treatment of single-level lumbar degenerative diseases: a retrospective study.

Objective: The study aimed to evaluate the short-term clinical efficacy of percutaneous full-endoscopic transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (Endo-TLIF) for lumbar degenerative diseases (LDD).

Methods: From July 2020 to July 2021, 93 patients who underwent single-level lumbar fusion procedure were retrospective analysis. The patients were divided into Endo-TLIF group and transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) group.

Which surgery is better for obese patients with lumbar degenerative diseases: open TLIF or Endo-LIF? A retrospective matched case-control study.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate short-term clinical efficacy of percutaneous endoscopic posterior lumbar interbody fusion (Endo-LIF) in the treatment of obese patients with lumbar degenerative diseases (LDD).

Methods: Patients who underwent single-level lumbar fusion surgery from July 2020 to July 2022 were retrospectively analyzed in this study. The main inclusion criterion was a body mass index (BMI) ≥30kg/m.

Outcome of Percutaneous Transforaminal Endoscopic Lumbar Surgery in >60-Year-Old Patients with Low Back Pain.

Study Design: Retrospective study.

Purpose: To evaluate the outcome of percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic lumbar surgery (PTELS) and to evaluate the efficacy of this technique in the treatment of lumbar disc herniation (LDH) and lumbar spine stenosis (LSS) in >60-year-old patients.

Overview Of Literature: There has been number of studies done in aspect of PTELS.

Formation, function, and exhaustion of notochordal cytoplasmic vacuoles within intervertebral disc: current understanding and speculation.

Notochord nucleus pulposus cells are characteristic of containing abundant and giant cytoplasmic vacuoles. This review explores the embryonic formation, biological function, and postnatal exhaustion of notochord vacuoles, aiming to characterize the signal network transforming the vacuolated nucleus pulposus cells into the vacuole-less chondrocytic cells. Embryonically, the cytoplasmic vacuoles within vertebrate notochord originate from an evolutionarily conserved vacuolation process during neurulation, which may continue to provide mechanical and signal support in constructing a mammalian intervertebral disc.

Outcomes of Microendoscopic Discectomy and Percutaneous Transforaminal Endoscopic Discectomy for the Treatment of Lumbar Disc Herniation: A Comparative Retrospective Study.

Study Design: Retrospective, case control evaluation of 86 patients who underwent microendoscopic discectomy (MED) and percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic discectomy (PTED) for the treatment of lumbar disc herniation (LDH).

Purpose: To evaluate the safety and the outcomes of MED and PTED for the treatment of LDH.

Overview Of Literature: MED and PTED are minimally invasive surgical techniques for lower back pain.

[Perioperative management in hemophilic arthropathy].

Objective: To evaluate the clinical results and improve perioperative management in patients with hemophilic arthropathy.

Methods: From May 2002 to March 2007, 20 patients with hemophilic arthropathy were admitted. Fourteen patients (20 knees) were performed total knee arthroplasty, and 6 patients (8 hips) were performed total hip arthroplasty, while 2 patients were performed ankle arthrodesis.

[Risk factors for skin necrosis around incision after total knee arthroplasty].

Objectives: To analyze the risk factors of skin necrosis around incision after total knee arthroplasty, and explore measures for prevention and treatment.

Methods: From January 2003 to November 2005, skin necrosis around incision occurred to 15 out of the 382 cases (494 knees) treated by total knee arthroplasty. The data of the 15 cases were analyzed.

[Clinical characteristics of hemophilic pseudotumor: analysis of 8 cases].

Objective: To analyze the clinical manifestations and imaging features of hemophilic pseudotumor.

Methods: Eight patients with hemophilic pseudotumor, all males, aged 26.1 (18 -38), were hospitalized, underwent resection of pseudotumor and bone reconstruction, and followed up for 38.

[Relationship between alterations of circulating cell-derived microparticles and glucocorticosteroid application].

Objective: To explore the relationship between the alterations of circulating cell-derived microparticles (MPs) and large-dose glucocorticosteroid application.

Methods: Peripheral blood samples were collected from 33 patients with history of large-dose glucocorticosteroid application (glucocorticosteroid group) and 24 age-, sex-, and race-matched healthy controls (healthy control group). Platelet-poor plasma was obtained by centrifugation.

[Clinical diagnosis and surgical treatment of congenital contractural arachnodactyly: analysis of 6 cases].

Objective: To discuss the clinical diagnosis and surgical treatment of congenital contractural arachnodactyly (CCA).

Methods: The clinical data of 6 CCA patients, 1 male and 5 female, aged 7.5 (5-14) were analyzed.

[Comparative analysis of pedicle screw versus hybrid instrumentation in posterior spinal correction of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis].

Objective: To compare the effect of posterior correction and fusion between segmental pedicle screw instrumentation with hybrid constructs in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS).

Methods: Study the clinical data of 40 AIS patients retrospectively. They were underwent posterior fusion and be distributed into two group, group A was hybrid instrumentation (20 cases) and group B was pedicle screw instrumentation (20 cases).
