Aim: This study assessed the association of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the proinflammatory cytokines interleukin 6 (IL-6) and IL-10 with the risk of lumbar disc herniation in a Chinese Han population.
Methods: We collected blood samples from 267 patients with lumbar disc herniation (case group) and 300 normals (control group) and performed analyses of the IL-6 572C/G and 174G/C SNPs as well as the IL-10 592A/C and 1082G/A SNPs using TaqMan technology.
Results: The frequencies of the IL-6-572 GG, GC, and CC genotypes were 5.99%, 42.3%, and 51.6%, respectively, in the case group, and 1.6%, 24%, and 64.3%, respectively, in the control group. Thus, the relative risk of the IL-6-572 G genotype (GG plus GC) was 1.69-fold higher for developing lumbar disc herniation compared to the CC genotype (95% confidence interval: 1.16-2.39, p < 0.01). The risks associated with the IL-6-572 CG and GG genotypes were 1.55- and 4.48-fold higher, respectively, versus the CC genotype for developing lumbar disc herniation (p < 0.01). The IL-10-1082 AG genotype was significantly higher in the case group (26.22%) versus the control group (11.67%); whereas the AA genotype was lower in the case group (73.78%) versus the control group (88.33%; p < 0.05). The IL-10-1082 G allele frequency was significantly higher in the case group (13.11%) versus the control group (5.83%; p < 0.05).
Conclusion: This study demonstrates that genetic variants in the promoter regions of the IL-6 and IL-10 genes are associated with lumbar disc herniation risk in this Northern Chinese Han population.

Background: There are differences in the extent of excision of articular processes, spinal processes and posterior ligamentum complexes (PLC) for posterior approach lumbar interbody fusion. Given that the biomechanical significance of these structures has been verified and that deterioration of the biomechanical environment is the main trigger for complications in both fused and adjacent motion segments, changes in decompression ranges may affect the potential risk of adjacent segmental disease (ASD) biomechanically; however, this topic has yet to be identified.
Methods: Posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) with different decompression strategies was simulated in a well-validated lumbosacral model.

Study Design: Prospective biochemical study of comparison of A Disintegrin and Metalloproteinase with Thrombospondin motifs-4 (ADAMTS-4) and A Disintegrin and Metalloproteinase with Thrombospondin motifs 5 (ADAMTS5) levels in preoperative and postoperative venous blood, as well as in disc tissue obtained during surgery, in patients undergoing surgery for intervertebral disc disease, with enzyme levels in venous blood from a control group.
Objective: To compare the levels of ADAMTS-4 and ADAMTS-5 between patients with degenerative intervertebral discs and a healthy control group, aiming to identify biomarkers associated with intervertebral disc degeneration.
Literature: Although numerous studies have investigated the relationship between ADAMTS-4 and ADAMTS-5 enzymes and degeneration in experimental rat models and human tissues, no study has correlated their serum levels with intervertebral disc degeneration.

Department of Orthopaedic, Orthopaedic Research Institute, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu, Sichuan, China.
Objective: Pear-shaped disc could increase the risk of intraoperative end-plate injury, which may lead to postoperative sclerotic Modic Changes (MCs). However, there are no studies on the relationship between pear-shaped disc and postoperative sclerotic MCs. Therefore, this study investigates the risk factors for postoperative sclerotic MCs following transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF).

The traditional posterior median approach laminectomy is widely used for lumbar decompression. However, the bilateral dissection of paraspinal muscles during this procedure often leads to postoperative muscle atrophy, chronic low back pain, and other complications. The posterior midline spinous process-splitting approach (SPSA) offers a significant advantage over the traditional approach by minimizing damage to the paraspinal muscles.
