[Percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic TESSYS technique for the treatment of bilateral lumbar disc herniation in single segment].

Objective: To investigate the early clinical effects of transforaminal endoscopic spine system (TESSYS) for the treatment of bilateral lumbar disc herniation in single segment.

Methods: The clinical data of 38 patients with single-segment bilateral lumbar disc herniation treated by TESSYS technique from February 2016 to February 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 26 males and 12 females, aged from 30 to 55 years old with an average of(35.

Effect of bone mesenchymal stem cells transplantation on the micro-environment of early osteonecrosis of the femoral head.

Autologous implantation of bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) has achieved promising clinical efficacy for the treatment of early-stage osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). However, the underlying mechanisms are not completely elucidated. Here, we investigated the effect of BMSCs on the early ONFH in vitro and in vivo.

Prognostic implications of tissue and serum levels of microRNA-128 in human prostate cancer.

Background And Purpose: MicroRNA-128 (miR-128) has been identified as a negative regulator of malignant phenotypes of prostate cancer (PCa) cells. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic implications of both tissue and serum levels of miR-128 expression in PCa patients undergoing radical prostatectomy.

Methods: A series of 128 cases with PCa were evaluated for both tissue and serum levels of miR-128 expression by quantitative reverse-transcription PCR.
