Prevalence of Risk Factors for Adverse Spinopelvic Mobility Among Patients Undergoing Total Hip Arthroplasty

BackgroundPatients with adverse spinopelvic mobility have higher complication rates following total hip arthroplasty (THA). Risk factors include a stiff lumbar spine, standing posterior pelvic tilt ≤ ?10°, and a severe sagittal spinal deformity (pelvic incidence minus lumbar lordosis mismatch ≥20°). The purpose of this study is to define the spinopelvic risk factors and quantify the prevalence of risk factors for pathologic spinopelvic mobility.MethodsA retrospective cohort analysis from January 2014 to February 2020 was performed on a multicenter series of 9414 primary THAs by 168 surgeons, all with preoperative spinopelvic measurements in the supine, standing, and flex-seated positions. All patients were included. The prevalence of adverse spinopelvic mobility and frequency of each spinopelvic risk factor was calculated.ResultsThe cohort was 52% female, 48% male, with an average age of 65 years. Thirteen percent of patients exhibited adverse spinopelvic mobility and 17% had one or more of the 3 risk factors. Adverse mobility was found in 35% of patients with at least 1 risk factor, 47% with at least 2 risk factors, and 57% with all 3 risk factors.ConclusionForty-six percent of patients had spinopelvic pathology driven by one or more of the risk factors. Number of risk factors present and risk of adverse spinopelvic mobility were positively correlated, with 57% of patients with all 3 risk factors exhibiting adverse spinopelvic mobility. Although this study defines the prevalence of these risk factors in this highly selected cohort, it does not report incidence in a general THA population.Level of EvidencePrognostic Level IV.     

长链非编码RNA KLHL7-DT对人退变髓核细胞增殖和凋亡的影响及其相关机制

目的 探讨长链非编码RNA KLHL7-DT对人退变髓核细胞增殖和凋亡的影响及其相关机制。方法 选取2018年1月—2019年10月南京江北医院骨科脊柱骨折患者手术切除的正常椎间盘标本18例,其中男11例、女7例,年龄为22~46 （38.3±4.3）岁,PfirrmannⅠ级6例、Ⅱ级12例。取椎间盘标本常规分离、培养髓核细胞,使用10 ng/mL IL-1β处理髓核细胞获得退变髓核细胞。将退变髓核细胞分为沉默对照组、KLHL7-DT沉默组、过表达对照组、KLHL7-DT过表达组。4组细胞分别对应转染沉默对照序列、siRNA-KLHL7-DT沉默序列、过表达对照序列、KLHL7-DT过表达序列。取转染后4组退变髓核细胞采用5-乙炔基-2’脱氧尿嘧啶核苷（EdU）法检测细胞增殖情况,流式细胞术检测细胞凋亡情况,Western blot检测聚集蛋白聚糖（Aggrecan）、Ⅱ型胶原（Col Ⅱ）蛋白的表达情况。结果 （1）KLHL7-DT过表达组EdU染色阳性细胞/DAPI染色阳性比值（0.147±0.002）低于过表达对照组（0.203±0.007）,而KLHL7-DT沉默组比值（0.428±0.050）高于沉默对照组（0.240±0.032）,差异均有统计学意义（t=14.25、-5.44,P值均<0.05）。（2）KLHL7-DT过表达组细胞凋亡率（19.01%±0.41%）高于过表达对照组（14.38%±0.31%）,KLHL7-DT沉默组细胞凋亡率（16.08%±0.59%）低于沉默对照组（17.42%±0.36%）,差异均有统计学意义（t=15.69、3.36,P值均<0.05）。（3）Western blot结果显示,KLHL7-DT过表达组细胞Aggrecan和Col Ⅱ蛋白的相对表达量（分别为0.34±0.29、0.57±0.11）均低于过表达对照组（1.00±0.22、1.05±0.10）,KLHL7-DT沉默组Aggrecan和Col Ⅱ蛋白的相对表达量（分别为1.77±0.14、1.63±0.12）均高于沉默对照组（1.10±0.18、0.98±0.08）,差异均有统计学意义（t=3.10、5.54、-5.05、-7.66,P值均<0.05）。结论 上调KLHL7-DT的表达可抑制退变髓核细胞的增殖,促进退变髓核细胞的凋亡,其机制可能是通过调节细胞外基质Aggrecan、Col Ⅱ蛋白的合成,进而参与椎间盘退变的发展。

【摘要】 目的：探讨多节段前外侧入路腰椎椎间融合（oblique lumbar interbody fusion,OLIF）联合后路内固定治疗腰椎退行性侧凸伴脊柱矢状面失平衡的效果。方法：回顾性分析2017年9月～2020年4月于我院就诊并接受多节段OLIF联合后路内固定治疗的17例腰椎退行性侧凸伴脊柱矢状面失平衡患者,男3例,女14例;年龄55～81岁（67.8±6.3岁）;随访时间13～39个月（25.9±7.6个月）。在术前、术后与末次随访时的全脊柱X线片测量脊柱冠状面及矢状面相关参数,包括：腰椎侧凸Cobb角、C7铅垂线-骶骨中垂线距离（C7 plumb line-center sacral vertical line,C7PL-CSVL）、胸椎后凸角（thoracic kyphosis,TK）、胸腰段后凸角（thoracolumbar kyphosis,TLK）、腰椎前凸角（lumbar lordosis,LL）、腰椎前凸分布指数（lordosis distribution index,LDI）、脊柱矢状面垂直轴（sagittal vertical axis,SVA）、脊柱骶骨角（spino-sacral angle,SSA）、躯干整体倾斜角（global tilt,GT）、GAP评分（Global Alignment and Proportion score）、骨盆入射角（pelvic incidence,PI）、骨盆倾斜角（pelvic tilt, PT）、骶骨倾斜角（sacral slope,SS）。记录术前、术后与末次随访时的Oswestry功能障碍指数（Oswestry disability index,ODI）、日本骨科协会（Japanese Orthopaedic Association,JOA）评分、腰部和下肢疼痛视觉模拟（visual analogue scale,VAS）评分。对术前、术后和末次随访时的影像学和临床指标进行统计学分析。结果：17例患者均顺利完成手术,手术时间120～480min（327.4±85.4min）,出血量50～1100ml（504.7±275.1ml）,融合节段3～8个（3.8±1.2个）。1例患者术后左侧大腿外侧腹股沟区感觉减退,给予营养神经药物后20d症状缓解;1例患者术中发生椎体终板骨折,调整融合器置入路径避开骨折部位,同时一期附加后路椎弓根螺钉内固定,随访未发现融合器进一步沉降。术后和末次随访时的腰椎侧凸Cobb角、C7PL-CSVL、TK、TLK、LL、LDI、GT、GAP评分、PT、SS与术前比较均有显著性差异（P＜0.05）,腰椎矢状面平衡相关参数均获得改善;术后与末次随访时比较均无显著性差异（P>0.05）。术后和末次随访时的ODI、JOA评分、腰部VAS和下肢VAS评分与术前比较均有显著性改善（P＜0.05）,末次随访时进一步改善,与术后比较差异均有显著性（P＜0.05）。结论：多节段OLIF联合后路内固定术可以有效缓解腰椎退行性侧凸患者的症状,同时矫正脊柱三维畸形、重建矢状面和冠状面平衡,提高患者生活质量。     

Comparison of extreme lateral approach with posterior approach in the treatment of lumbar degenerative diseases: A meta-analysis of clinical and imaging findings

ObjectiveTo compare clinical and imaging findings between extreme lateral lumbar interbody fusion (XLIF) and posterior fusion (PF) via meta-analysis for the treatment of lumbar degenerative diseases.MethodsEnglish papers reporting clinical and imaging findings for the treatment of lumbar degenerative diseases with XLIF and PF published electronically in the PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science databases from January 2006 to August 2019 were retrieved. Two authors independently extracted data and evaluated the quality of the included literature. Meta-analysis of outcome measures was performed using Stata 14 and RevMan 5.3 software.ResultsThis meta-analysis included 744 patients from nine studies, two of which were prospective studies, while the others were retrospective studies. The quality of each study was determined to be high. The meta-analysis showed no significant differences in the operative time, length of hospital stay, clinical effectiveness, and improvement in postoperative global sagittal alignment between two approaches (P > 0.05). However, XLIF was significantly better than PF in reducing intraoperative blood loss and recovery of local sagittal alignment (P < 0.05). Moreover, the high incidence of postoperative complications were detected in XLIF group (P < 0.05).ConclusionsBoth surgical approaches have equally promising clinical effectiveness for the treatment of lumbar degenerative diseases. Although XLIF can reduce intraoperative blood loss and obtain better postoperative local sagittal alignment than PF, the high incidence of postoperative complications should prompt us to consider why XLIF procedure is still being offered to our patients and how we can reduce these complications. In addition, any conclusions should be taken with caution because of the mix of prospective and retrospective studies, and the high heterogeneity and bias.

Evaluation of Percutaneous Transforaminal Endoscopic Discectomy in the Treatment of Lumbar Disc Herniation: A Retrospective Study

ObjectiveThe objective of the present study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic discectomy (PTED) and open fenestration discectomy (OFD) in the treatment of lumbar disc herniation (LDH).MethodsPatients in our hospital with LDH who received PTED (n = 71) and OFD (n = 39) from 2013 to 2014 were retrospectively studied. Patient information, including age, gender, visual analogue scale (VAS) score for low back pain and leg pain, body weight, height, Oswestry disability index (ODI), Japanese Orthopedic Association (JOA), and recurrence, was collected. The patients in the two groups were followed up for an average of 63 months after surgery.ResultsA total of 136 patients completed the operation and 110 patients were followed up completely. There was no significant difference in baseline data between the two groups (P > 0.05). The postoperative low back pain, leg pain, ODI, and JOA of the two groups were better than those preoperatively (P < 0.05). One week after surgery, the recovery of PTED patients was better than that of OFD. The ODI score of the PTED group was lower than that of the OFD group (10 [8, 12] vs 14 [11, 16]; P < 0.05), the waist VAS score of the PTED group was lower than that of the OFD group (2 [2, 3] vs 3 [2, 4]; P < 0.05), the leg VAS score of the PTED group was lower than that of the OFD group (1 [0,1] vs 1 [1, 2]; P < 0.05), while the JOA score of the PTED group was higher than that of OFD group [19(16, 20) vs 12(10, 17); P < 0.05]. There were no significant differences in ODI, JOA, waist and leg VAS scores between the two groups at 1 month after surgery and at subsequent follow‐up (P > 0.05). At the end of the follow up, 89.7% (35/39) of patients in the OFD group had excellent improvement in the JOA score, and 88.7% (63/71) of patients in the PTED group had an excellent improvement. There was no significant difference between the two (P > 0.05). There was also no significant difference in the recurrence rate between the two groups [(5/71) vs (3/39); P > 0.05]. [Correction added on 05 March 2021, after first online publication: “3/29” was amended to “3/39” in the preceding sentence.]ConclusionBoth PTED and OFD can achieve good mid‐term efficacy in the treatment of LDH but PTED has certain advantages, including the small incision, a shorter hospital stay, and quicker, earlier recovery. However, prospective randomized controlled studies with a larger sample size are needed.     

低氧环境对椎间盘自发性吸收的影响及其作用机制

目的探讨低氧环境对椎间盘自发性吸收的影响及其作用机制。方法取SPF级成年日本大耳兔9只,雌雄不限,平均体质量2 kg。将兔处死后取脊柱髓核组织,经消化、分离、培养后获得传代髓核细胞,将生长良好的髓核细胞制成细胞悬液。根据不同时效的低氧环境将细胞分为5组对照组(常氧浓度下培养6 h)、低氧6 h组(2%O2浓度下培养6 h)、低氧12 h组(2%O2浓度下培养12 h)、低氧24 h组(2%O2浓度下培养24 h)和低氧48 h组(2%O2浓度下培养48 h)。采用实时聚合酶链反应法检测缺氧诱导因子(HIF)-1α、3型酸敏感离子通道(ASIC3)及水通道蛋白3(AQP3)mRNA表达水平,采用流式细胞仪检测各组髓核细胞凋亡情况。采用SPSS 24.0软件对数据进行分析。结果与对照组比较,低氧各组细胞凋亡率均明显升高,差异均有统计学意义(均P<0.01);与低氧12、24和48 h组比较,低氧6 h组细胞凋亡率最高,差异均有统计学意义(均P<0.01)。与对照组比较,低氧各组细胞HIF-1α和ASIC3 mRNA表达水平均明显上升,AQP3 mRNA表达水平均明显下降,差异均有统计学意义(均P<0.01);与低氧12、24和48 h组比较,低氧6 h组HIF-1α和ASIC3 mRNA表达水平最高,差异均有统计学意义(均P<0.01)。结论短时间低氧环境可以促进髓核细胞凋亡,从而加速椎间盘突出组织自发性吸收进程,其机制可能与HIF-1α和ASIC3的表达增加及AQP3的表达下降有关。     

静压载荷下椎间盘中的粘弹性应力及变形分析

本文建立了一个简化的椎间盘力学模型，在该模型中既考虑了椎间盘材料的重要性质──粘弹性又考虑了韧带的作用；并用线性粘弹性理论推导了椎间盘中的粘弹性应力及径向膨出的解析表达式。最后分别对正常、韧带加强、退变和致疝等情况下的应力分布及径向膨出进行了模拟计算；结果表明：椎间盘纤维环内的初始最大拉应力是造成其损伤的重要因素。
