Cervifix颈椎后路杆固定系统垂直水平悬吊改良单开门椎管成形术

目的:评价Cervifix固定垂直水平悬吊改良单开门椎管成形术的疗效。方法:35例颈椎病患者,男23例,女12例;年龄47~68岁,平均56·4岁;34例为脊髓型颈椎病,1例为颈椎术后翻修;椎管矢状径4·6~9·3mm;椎管矢状面狭窄率达39%~84%,平均49·3%;减压节段C3-C59例,C3-C620例,C4-C76例。常规行后正中入路单开门椎管成形术,在所减压的节段侧块上Cervifix固定,采用Roy-Camille置入侧块螺钉。先用磨钻在所减压节段的棘突根部开预穿孔,开门后穿粗丝线于Cervifix的纵连杆拉紧并打结,行水平方向固定。垂直方向在开门侧的椎板上打预穿孔,用“斜拉桥”原理悬吊于临近未减压的棘突上加固。使椎板保持在开门状态。术后颈围领保护3个月。结果:35例平均随访15个月(7~18个月)。术前JOA评分平均8·0分,术后平均15·7分。术后3个月复查CT及X线片未见螺钉松动和再关门现象。仅有3例诉颈部有僵硬感,局部无疼痛。肌电图及体感诱发电位、感觉运动传导速度基本接近正常。6个月后僵硬感基本消失。结论:Cervifix固定垂直水平悬吊改良单开门椎管成形术操作简单、安全,维持开门效果好。术后患者颈部症状恢复快、效果满意,是治疗多节段颈椎病及颈椎管狭窄症的一种有效可行的方法。     

Research progresses of molecular mechanism of pyroptosis and its related diseases

Pyroptosis is a newly discovered untypical form of programmed cell death by inflammatory response, which is dependent on the classic pathway of Caspase-1 and the non-canonical pathway of Caspase-11 in mice or orthologue Caspase-4/-5 in Humans. It has been found that the Gasdermin family of protein is a key molecule in the formation of membrane pores of pyroptosis. After being cleaved by inflammatory caspases, it releases a N-terminal fragment with perforating activity to trigger pyroptosis. That pyroptosis is closely related to the occurrence and development of certain diseases. Now, the molecular mechanism of pyroptosis and pyroptosis-related diseases are reviewed.

Role of pyroptosis in cardiovascular diseases

Pyroptosis is a form of programmed necrosis, and is morphologically and mechanistically unique form of programmed cell death compared to others, such as apoptosis and autophagic cell death. More specifically, pyroptosis features gasdermin family-mediated membrane pore formation and subsequent cell lysis, as well as release of pro-inflammatory intracellular contents including IL-1β, IL-18 and HMGB1. Mechanistically, pyroptosis is driven by two main signaling pathways - one mediated by caspase-1 and the other by caspase-4/5/11. Recent studies show that pyroptosis is implicated in several cardiovascular diseases. In this review, we summarize recent scientific discoveries of pyroptosis's involvement in atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction, diabetic cardiomyopathy, reperfusion injury and myocarditis. We also organized new and emerging evidence suggesting that pyroptosis signaling pathways may be potential therapeutic targets in cardiovascular diseases.
