Aim: To explore the role of the hub gene Transforming Growth Factor Beta Induced (TGFBI) in Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) pathogenesis and its regulatory relationship with Membrane Associated Ring-CH-Type Finger 8 (MARCHF8).

Background: IDD is a prevalent musculoskeletal disorder leading to spinal pathology. Despite its ubiquity and impact, effective therapeutic strategies remain to be explored.

Background: The aim of this study is to examine the association between adding-on (AO) and disc degeneration(DD) of distal unfused levels in Lenke 3 C, 5 C, 6 C adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) patients with a follow-up of at least two years by comparing preoperative and postoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Methods: 47 AIS patients (32 females and 15 males) with structural thoracolumbar/lumbar (TL/L) curves treated with long segment thoracolumbar fusion were retrospectively evaluated. Patients were divided into two groups according to the occurrence of the AO (AO and Non-AO groups).

Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) is a degenerative condition associated with impaired mitophagy. MANF has been shown to promote mitophagy in murine kidneys; however, its role in IDD remains unexplored. This study aimed to elucidate the mechanism by which MANF influences IDD development through the regulation of mitophagy.

Intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) is a chronic degenerative disease with a complex pathophysiological mechanism. Increasing evidence suggests that the NOD-like receptor thermal protein domain associated protein 3 (NLRP3)-mediated pyroptosis of nucleus pulposus cells (NPCs) plays a crucial role in the pathological progression of IVDD. Pyroptosis is a novel form of programmed cell death characterized by the formation of plasma membrane pores by gasdermin family proteins, leading to cell swelling, membrane rupture, and the release of inflammatory cytokines, which trigger an inflammatory response.

Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Beijing Chao-Yang Hospital, Capital Medical University, GongTiNanLu 8#, Chaoyang District, Beijing, 100020, China.

Background: This study aimed to assess the efficacy of a novel spinal osteotomy technique, the posterior trans-intervertebral osteotomy with anterior support, in individuals diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis. This study utilized computer software to simulate the osteotomy procedure, predict orthopedic outcomes, and assist in preoperative planning.

Methods: Four patients with ankylosing spondylitis underwent posterior trans-intervertebral osteotomy with anterior support that post-operative follow-up of more than 1 year.
