Osteosarcoma(OS)is one of the most common malignant tumors in bone tissue,and its specific mechanism is not yet fully clear. Studies have shown that OS cells express different cytokines(CKs)and their receptors in the development stage of tumors,and enable them to grow autonomously and confer metastatic ability through autocrine and paracrine effects. In this regard,the most important CKs mainly includes insulin-like growth factor-1,transforming growth factor-β,chemokine 5 and interleukin-8,which can regulate the tumor microenvironment that is conducive to tumor growth,invasion and metastasis. This review summarizes the role and mode of action of CKs and their biological relevance to OS cells,hoping to provide effective new markers and therapeutic targets for clinical treatment of OS.

Objective To explore the impact and protective mechanisms of head cooling on neural activity during passive hyperthermia.Methods Sixteen subjects were randomly exposed for 1 h to three different conditions: normal (25℃), hot (50℃) and head cooling (chamber:50℃,cold packs:5℃),after environment exposure, rs-fMRI were performed.Regional homogeneity(ReHo) datum at three different conditions were analyzed by REST2.0 to obtain brain areas with statistical difference.Brain voxel with statistical difference were selected as ROIs to ReHo values and were analyzed by One-Way ANOVA with SPSS18.0.Neural activity of brain areas with statistical difference were compared in any two groups by Post hoc.Results The brain regions showing differences among three groups included right orbital frontal cortex,left middle frontal gyrus,bilateral amygdala,left middle temporal gyrus,left hippocampus,bilateral parietal inferior, left precentral gyrus.Compared with normal group, ReHo increased in right orbital frontal cortex, and decreased in left precentral gyrus,left middle frontal gyrus,left parietal inferior,but no changed in bilateral amygdala,left middle temporal gyrus,left hippocampus,right parietal inferior in head cooling group.Compared with hot group,head cooling group showed increased ReHo in left middle temporal gyrus,left hippocampus,right parietal inferior,and decreased ReHo in bilateral amygdala,left parietal inferior,unchanged ReHo in right orbital frontal cortex, left precentral gyrus, left middle frontal gyrus.Conclusion The specified alterations of ReHo may reflect that the head cooling could partially eliminate the impact of passive hyperthermia, and is closely linked with emotional function.

【Objective】 To compare the short-term clinical effects of oblique lateral interbody fusion （OLIF） and transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion （TLIF） for treating single-segment lumbar spondylolisthesis. 【Methods】 We retrospectively analyzed the data of 68 patients with single-segment degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis from January 2019 to February 2020. According to different surgical methods， the patients were divided into OLIF+ anterior screw fixation group （33 cases） and TLIF + posterior pedicle screw fixation group （35 cases）. The operation time， intraoperative blood loss， postoperative drainage， postoperative hospital stay and complication rate were compared between the two groups of patients. The disc height （DH）， lumbar lordosis （LL）， fused segmental lordosis （FSL）， foraminal height （FH）， and spondylolisthesis angle （SA） were measured before and after surgery and during follow-up. The visual analogue scale （VAS） of waist pain and the Oswestry disability index （ODI） were used to evaluate the short-term clinical efficacy. 【Results】 The operation time， intraoperative blood loss， postoperative drainage， and postoperative hospital stay were less in OLIF group than in TLIF group （all P<0.05）. There was no statistically significant difference in VAS or ODI scores between the two groups at the last follow-up after surgery （both P>0.05）. The two groups had statistically significant differences in DH and FH after surgery （P<0.05）， but no significant difference in postoperative LL， FSL or SA （all P>0.05）. There were six （18.2%） and five （14.3%） cases of complications in OLIF group and TLIF group， respectively， with no significant difference （P>0.05）. 【Conclusion】 OLIF and TLIF are equally safe and effective in treating single-segment lumbar spondylolisthesis. However， OLIF combined with anterior screw fixation has the advantages of less surgical trauma， less blood loss， shorter operation time， reduced postoperative hospital stay and shorter recovery time. Therefore， it is a more minimally invasive surgical option.
