Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates factors contributing to further height loss in older patients who experienced osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs) and underwent minimally invasive treatment called percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP).
- - Out of 200 OVCF patients analyzed, 21 experienced a significant height loss (≥ 4 mm) within a year post-surgery, with key factors identified including lower bone mineral density (BMD), the presence of intravertebral cleft (IVF), and specific patterns of bone cement distribution.
- - Findings highlight that both lower BMD and IVF presence are significant risk factors for height loss after PVP, suggesting a need for careful assessment and management of these conditions in OVCF
Gentianopsis barbata, Halenia corniculata, and Gentianella acuta were widely distributed throughout China and commonly used in traditional Chinese medicine. However, owing to similar living environments and morphological features, locals often had trouble distinguishing between these three species. In this present study, chromatograms at 350 nm were obtained and the composition and content of their chemical compounds determined using HPLC-DAD/ESI-MS.
