Objective: Aim: To investigate the peculiarities of deviations of preoperative values of biochemical markers of inflammation in the blood serum of patients with degenerative diseases of the lumbar spine after transpedicular fixation, with a complicated postoperative course to predict the development of various postoperative complications.
Patients And Methods: Materials and Methods: The content of glycoproteins (GP), sialic acids (SA), C-reactive protein (CRP), seroglicoids (SG), haptoglobin (HG), Veltman`s test (VT) were investigated. The results are comparable by the Student-Fisher method.
Results: Results: When compared to data of the control group, patients without complications showed 37.21% higher content of SA, by 67.36% - HG, by 56.70% - CRP, by 22.22% - VT; in patients with soft tissue inflammation - an increase of 136.84% of HG content, 86.00% - SA, 160.00% - CRP and a decrease in 51.11% of VT; in patients with hypercoagulation, the content of GP, SA, HG, CRP is higher by 109.30%, 82.00%, 131.57% and 133.33%, and VT - less by 48.48%; in patients with screw instability, the level of GP is higher by 48.83%, HG - by 78.94%, the SA - by 19.00%, the CRP - by 53.53% and lower VT - by 15.56%; with several complications GP more than 93.02%, SA - by 69.00%, HG - by 123.16%, CRP - by 111.33% of VT - lower by 40.00%.
Conclusion: Conclusions: According to our data, the indicators that are more suitable for predicting the development of complications are CRP, GH, and CA. However, none of the studied indicators is universal, and their prediction requires the use of diagnostic complexes.

Background: Calretinin is a 29 kilodalton (KDa) calcium-binding protein that is expressed in normal and tumoral tissues. The expression of calretinin has been shown in the dental epithelium during odontogenesis and in different odontogenic cysts and tumors such as ameloblastoma. Since the epithelium of calcifying odontogenic cyst (COC) is similar to ameloblastoma and in both lesions, an arrangement of loose cells similar to stellate reticulum is seen, we aimed to investigate the comparative expression of calretinin in COC and ameloblastoma.

Background: The need for anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) for cervical degenerative disc disease (CDDD) will probably grow dramatically in the geriatric population. However, ACDF with self-locking standalone cages in patients over 80 years has not yet been investigated. This study aimed to assess the clinical and radiographic results in patients over 80 years treated by ACDF with self-locking standalone cages.

Cardiomyocytes can be implanted to remuscularize the failing heart. Challenges include sufficient cardiomyocyte retention for a sustainable therapeutic impact without intolerable side effects, such as arrhythmia and tumour growth. We investigated the hypothesis that epicardial engineered heart muscle (EHM) allografts from induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes and stromal cells structurally and functionally remuscularize the chronically failing heart without limiting side effects in rhesus macaques.

Objective: Surgical treatments for degenerative lumbar spinal disorders involve decompression of neural structures and arthrodesis to address pain from unstable intervertebral segments. Lumbar instrumented facet fusion (IFF), a less invasive technique, has shown positive short-term outcomes, but reports on its long-term outcomes are scarce. This study aims to report its long-term biomechanical stability and clinical outcomes.

Background Context: Endoscopic spine surgery (ESS) is rapidly emerging as a viable minimally invasive technique to successfully treat symptomatic degenerative spinal conditions. Widespread adoption has been limited in part due to the learning curve.
Purpose: To systematically review the learning curve for uniportal and biportal ESS and compare the two techniques.
