Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2016;20(39):5807-5812
BACKGROUND:Conservative treatment is mostly invalid in treatment of severe degenerative lumbar scoliosis-induced low back pain, so surgical intervention is general y required. Repair methods are decompression, rigid fixation, and selective interbody fusion for the“responsible vertebra”to re-establish normal lumbar curvature, spinal balance and good stability. OBJECTIVE:To investigate clinical curative effect of local decompression and selective interbody fusion with pedicle screw fixation technique for the treatment of degenerative lumbar scoliosis. METHODS:Data of 57 cases of degenerative lumbar scoliosis from Armed Police Corps Hospital of Hunan Province from January 2011 to January 2014 were retrospectively analyzed. According to clinical characteristics of the patients, selective fusion, local decompression and pedicle screw fixation were used for repair. The imaging analysis and Suk criteria were used to evaluate fixation, decompression and bone fusion. Japanese Orthopaedic Association scores were utilized to assess therapeutic effect. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) Operation time was 157-255 minutes, averagely 176 minutes. Amount of bleeding was 480-1 700 mL, averagely 835 mL. Postoperative drainage volume was 140-210 mL, averagely 155 mL. (2) 57 patients were fol owed up for 12-38 months. Postoperative X-ray revealed that Cobb’s angle was (3.8±2.1)° on the coronal plane after treatment, and the correction rate of lordosis was 54%. The sagittal Cobb’s angle was (6.3±10.5)°, and the correction rate of lordosis was 35%. According to Suk standard, the fusion rate of vertebra was 95%. According to low back pain score system recommended by Japanese Orthopaedic Association scores, the effective rate was 91%at the end of fol ow-up. (3) There were 2 cases of cerebrospinal fluid leakage, 1 case of nerve injury, and 1 case of pedicle screw failure, no infection, no blood vessel injury. (4) These findings suggest that according to imaging data and self clinical features, local decompression and selective interbody fusion with pedicle screw fixation technique for the treatment of degenerative lumbar scoliosis can rebuild and stabilize degenerative lumbar scoliosis in the coronal and sagittal planes to different degrees, with satisfactory clinical curative effect.

Objective To construct dual-luciferase reporter plasmids containing the wild type and mutant rat extracellular signal-regulat-ed kinase 1 (ERK1) gene 3' untranslated regions (UTR) which were used to detect rno-miR-15b-5p's putative target gene. Methods The rat ERK1 gene 3' UTR fragment was amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) from PC12 cell cDNA and cloned into pmiR-RB-ReportTM vector. The mutant rat ERK1 gene 3' UTR fragment was obtained by overlap PCR and inserted into pmiR-RB-ReportTM vector. Successful wild type and mutant recombinant plasmids were confirmed by DNA sequencing. PC12 cells were co-transfected with rno-miR-15b-5p mim-ic and pmiR-ERK13' UTR or pmiR-ERK1-mut 3' UTR and then analyzed by dual-luciferase reporter assay system. The achieved mutation sequence of the target site TGCTGCT was mutated to CGAACGT and GTACACG, respectively. Results The wild-type reporter vector pmiR-ERK13' UTR and the mutant reporter vector pmiR-ERK1-mut 3' UTR were successfully constructed. The rno-miR-15b-5p mimic de-creased the activity of pmiR-ERK13' UTR plasmid (P<0.001) but did not decrease the activity of pmiR-ERK1-mut 3' UTR plasmid. Conclu-sion The recombinant pmiR-ERK13' UTR and pmiR-ERK1-mut 3' UTR plasmids were constructed successfully, and luciferase activities demonstrated that the 3' UTR of ERK1 gene might be a potential target of rno-miR-15b-5p.
