Background: Recently, more clinicians have realized the importance of quality life in treatment decision-making process. The goal this study was to determine whether surgery for patients with spinal metastases from non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) could improve their and prolong survival. Methods: included 133 who had been treated NSCLC between 2010 2014. These were divided into two groups according or not they received surgery. Their assessed use Functional Assessment Cancer...

In a general view of anatomy, intervertebral disc is composed three parts: annulus fibrosus (AF), nucleus pulposus (NP), and cartilage endplate (CEP). Recently, several types stem cells were successfully isolated from these corresponding regions, but up to now, no research was performed about which kind the most efficient candidate for NP tissue engineering or cell-based regeneration therapy. this study, we compared regenerative potentials above-mentioned kinds disc-derived with that classic...

To examine the histopathological changes in spinal tissues of ankylosing spondylitis (AS) patients.Tissue samples from 10 AS patients and control subjects were obtained. Hematoxylin eosin, picrosirius, Masson van Gieson stainings utilized to determine pathological tissues. Ultrastructural alterations examined by electronic microscopy. Proteoglycan levels assessed enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA). Matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3), transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) tumor...

Spinal cord injury (SCI) remains among the most challenging pathologies worldwide and has limited therapeutic possibilities a very bleak prognosis. Biomaterials stem cell transplantation are promising treatments for functional recovery in SCI. Seven patients with acute complete SCI diagnosed by combination of methods were included study, different lengths (2.0–6.0 cm) necrotic spinal tissue surgically cleaned under intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring. Subsequently, NeuroRegen...

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common malignant tumors endangering human health and life in 21st century. Chromatin licensing DNA replication factor 1 (CDT1) an important regulator licensing, which essential for initiation replication. CDT1 overexpression several cancers reportedly leads to abnormal cell replication, activates damage checkpoints, predisposes transformation. However, expression HCC its diagnostic prognostic value remains be elucidated.TCGA, ONCOMINE,...

Receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL) has been found to induce osteoclastogenesis and bone resorption. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear. Via conducting a series biochemical experiments with in vitro cell lines, this study investigated role mechanism NADPH oxidase 4 (Nox4) RANKL-induced autophagy osteoclastogenesis. In current study, we that RANKL dramatically induced osteoclastogenesis, inhibition chloroquine (CQ) markedly attenuates Interestingly,...

Purpose: To explore the incidence and risk factors for adjacent segment disease (ASD) in patients with lumbar degenerative diseases after transforaminal interbody fusion (TLIF). Patients Methods: The clinical data of 1258 who underwent (TLIF) our hospital from January 2011 to December 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. divided into ASD group non-ASD (N-ASD) group, was calculated. We compared age, BMI, comorbidities, surgery-related parameters, imaging parameters before surgery between two...

Study Design A case-controlled retrospective study. Objective We aimed to explore the effectiveness of MRI-based VBQ scores derived by different MRI sequences in assessing risk an osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF) age- and sex-controlled patients. Methods This study included patients hospitalized for OVCF (fracture group) degenerative lumbar disease (non-fracture from July 2022 2024. Patients both groups were matched sex age a 1:1 ratio. acquired non-contrast lumbosacral...

BACKGROUND Prostate cancer metastasis to bone is the second most commonly diagnosed malignant disease among men worldwide. Such metastatic characterized by presence of osteoblastic lesions, and associated with high rates mortality. However, various mechanisms involved in prostate cancer-induced differentiation have not been fully explored. Semaphorin 3A (Sema 3A) a newly identified regulator metabolism which stimulates pre-osteoblastic cells under physiological conditions. We investigated...
