Chronic lumbar and back pain caused by degenerative vertebral endplates presents a challenging issue for patients and clinicians. As a new minimally invasive spinal treatment method, radiofrequency ablation of vertebral basal nerve in bone can denature the corresponding vertebral basal nerve through radiofrequency ablation of degenerative vertebral endplate. It blocks the nociceptive signal transmission of the vertebral base nerve, thereby alleviating the symptoms of low back pain caused by the degenerative vertebral endplate. At present, many foreign articles have reported the operation principle, operation method, clinical efficacy and related complications of radiofrequency ablation of the vertebral basal nerve. The main purpose of this paper is to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the current relevant research, and provide a reference for the follow-up clinical research.

Background And Objective: As the global population ages, degenerative spinal disorders are on the rise, leading to an increased focus on optimizing spinal fusion therapies. Despite the high success rate of iliac crest bone autografts, their usage is hampered by donor site morbidity and limited supply. The objective of this review is to assess the viability of ceramic-based synthetic materials as alternatives in spinal fusion surgeries.

Skin aging is one of the degenerative processes influenced by tyrosinase, elastase, collagenase, hyaluronidase, and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP9) activity. One promising avenue for discovering antiaging therapeutics is the peptides from the spine. The aim of this study was to explore the potential of peptides from spine as a multitarget inhibitor for recombinant antiaging therapies through in silico approaches.

Intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) is a common contributor for low back pain, which is featured by loss of extracellular matrix and nucleus pulposus cells (NPCs). Hence, our current study is undertaken to explore the potential mechanism of NPC apoptosis during IVDD. Transcription factor Dp-1 (TFDP1) expression in degenerative and non-degenerative intervertebral disc tissues was analyzed by bioinformatics.

Intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration is a major cause of low back pain (LBP), which results in disability worldwide. However, the pathogenesis of IVD degeneration mediating LBP remains unclear. Current conservative treatments and surgical interventions are both to relieve the symptoms and minimise pain; nevertheless, they are unable to reverse the degeneration.

Background: In the setting of cervical open-door laminoplasty, the question of whether or not every opened laminar level should be instrumented has not been sufficiently investigated. We postulated that the surgical outcomes of open-door laminoplasty with instrumentation of every second opened level (skip-fixation) might not be inferior to those of laminoplasty with instrumentation of every opened level (all-fixation). The purpose of the present study was to test the noninferiority of laminoplasty with skip-fixation in improving myelopathy at 2 years postoperatively compared with all-fixation.
