Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis is the most common spinal disorder in adolescents with a prevalence of 0.5-5.2% worldwide. The traditional methods for screening are easily accessible but require unnecessary referrals and radiography exposure due to their low positive predictive values. application deep learning algorithms has potential reduce costs screening. Here, we developed validated automated using unclothed back images. accuracies were superior those human specialists detecting...

Longer spinal fusions have been shown to result in improved deformity correction; however, loss of normal flexibility the fusion area should not be ignored. Current consensus was achieve a shorter primary surgery, with goal preserving as much distal motion segment possible. However, correlation between length and functional outcome remains controversial. To best our knowledge, previous study has demonstrated function outcomes differences HRQoL specific levels. In this cross-sectional study,...

Of the three unfolded protein response pathways, which are activated by endoplasmic reticulum stress, inositol-requiring enzyme 1α (IRE1α)-X-box-binding 1 (XBP1) signaling is most conserved. These pathways implicated in a variety of types cancer, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, role IRE1α-XBP1 development HCC remains unclear. In current study, reverse transcription-quantiative polymerase chain reaction was used to analyze expression levels XBP1 and interleukin (IL)-6 human...

Proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK) is a common sagittal complication of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) after corrective surgery, leading to new deformities, pain, and, even, revision surgery. In the present study, we investigated risk and predictive factors for PJK in patients who had undergone Lenke type 5 AIS correction identify parameters relevant intraoperative guidance. A total 35 with surgery at our hospital from January 2008 February 2016 were divided into (n = 15) non-PJK 20)...

Extracellular matrix metalloproteinase inducer (EMMPRIN) has been reported to be associated with tumor formation and invasion in many studies. However, the clinicopathological significance prognosis of EMMPRIN cancer patients remains inconclusive. Therefore, we conducted a meta-analysis assess predictive potential various cancers. By searching Pubmed, Cochrane library database web science comprehensively, 39studies 5739 cases were included our meta-analysis. The results indicated that...
