In clinical teaching practice of over 30 years, professor LIAN Yu-lin combines physiological, pathological and anatomic knowledge with TCM treatment based on syndrome differentiation, forming own unique theoretical system. This paper introduces LIAN's experience on treatment of cervical spondylosis in detail, and location of cervical vertebra three lines and determination of needling depth and reinforcing-reducing manipulation based on clinical manifestations of various types of cervical spondylosis, and combination of long needle with short needle, deep needling with superficially needling, stressing the main point and having a definite object. This is an effective pathway for treatment of cervical spondylosis.

Importance: The ability of surgeons to choose the right patient for fusion in addition to decompression when operating for degenerative spondylolisthesis with symptomatic spinal stenosis is debated. The addition of fusion increases risk, morbidity, and costs but has been claimed to give better results for selected patients.
Objective: To investigate whether following surgeons' opinions regarding fusion was associated with clinical outcomes.

: Multilevel cervical spondylotic myelopathy (MCSM) presents complex challenges for surgical management, particularly in patients with kyphosis or significant anterior pathology. This study aimed to assess the long-term efficacy of modified expansive open-door laminoplasty (MEOLP) combined with short-level anterior cervical fusion (ACF) in providing decompression, preserving alignment, and maintaining range of motion (ROM) over a nine-year follow-up. : A retrospective analysis was conducted on 124 MCSM patients treated with MEOLP combined with ACF between 2011 and 2015.
