Objective:To construct an early rehabilitation program suitable for patients with cervical spondylosis after minimally invasive cervical laminoplasty and explore its clinical effect, in order to promote postoperative spinal cord function recovery and reduce complications.Methods:The early rehabilitation program after minimally invasive cervical laminoplasty was constructed by literature search, research group discussion and two rounds of Delphi expert correspondence. The convenient sampling was used to select 136 patients who underwent minimally invasive cervical laminoplasty by the posterior cervical approach who were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from May 2018 to May 2020. They were divided into control group and observation group by the random number table method, with 68 cases in each group. The control group underwent rehabilitation according to the conventional rehabilitation methods after cervical spine surgery, while the observation group was given the early rehabilitation program intervention after minimally invasive cervical laminoplasty. They were followed up 12 months after surgery. The differences in Japanese Orthopaedic Association Scores (JOA) score, Neck Disability Index (NDI) score and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for axial pain were compared between the two groups before intervention and 12 months after surgery.Results:There were no statistically significant differences in the JOA, NDI and VAS scores between the two groups before intervention ( P>0.05) . After 12 months of follow-up, there was no statistically significant difference in the cervical spine JOA score between the two groups ( t=1.655, P=0.101) . The NDI score of the observation group [ (17.68±5.73) ] was lower than that of the control group [ (27.39±11.01) ] , and the difference was statistically significant ( t=-5.846, P<0.01) . The VAS score of the observation group [ (1.59±0.86) ] was lower than that of the control group [ (2.31±1.12) ] , and the difference was statistically significant ( t=-3.801, P<0.01) . Conclusions:The early rehabilitation program after minimally invasive cervical laminoplasty constructed in this study is scientific and reliable, which is helpful to improve the cervical spine function and daily activities of patients with cervical spondylosis after surgery and reduce the occurrence of axial pain.

Skeletal muscle is the largest tissue in the human body, and it plays a major role in exerting force and maintaining metabolism homeostasis. The role of muscle transcription factors in the regulation of metabolism is not fully understood. MondoA is a glucose-sensing transcription factor that is highly expressed in skeletal muscle. Previous studies suggest that MondoA can influence systemic metabolism homeostasis. However, the function of MondoA in the skeletal muscle remains unclear. We generated muscle-specific MondoA knockout (MAKO) mice and analyzed the skeletal muscle morphology and glycogen content. Along with skeletal muscle from MAKO mice, C2C12 myocytes transfected with small interfering RNA against MondoA were also used to investigate the role and potential mechanism of MondoA in the development and glycogen metabolism of skeletal muscle. MAKO caused muscle fiber atrophy, reduced the proportion of type II fibers compared to type I fibers, and increased the muscle glycogen level. MondoA knockdown inhibited myoblast proliferation, migration, and differentiation by inhibiting the phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN)/phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt pathway. Further mechanistic experiments revealed that the increased muscle glycogen in MAKO mice was caused by thioredoxin-interacting protein (TXNIP) downregulation, which led to upregulation of glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4), potentially increasing glucose uptake. MondoA appears to mediate mouse myofiber development, and MondoA decreases the muscle glycogen level. The findings indicate the potential function of MondoA in skeletal muscle, linking the glucose-related transcription factor to myogenesis and skeletal myofiber glycogen metabolism.
