BACKGROUND: Anterior subtotal vertebrectomy and fusion using titanium mesh cage (TMC) is an effective surgical treatment for cervical spondylosis, while TMC subsidence usually occurs. The risk factors for TMC subsidence and its effect on the treatment outcomes remain controversial. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the TMC subsidence after anterior subtotal vertebrectomy and TMC fusion and its effect on the treatment outcomes, thereby understanding the underlying mechanism and related risk factors. METHODS: Clinical data of 34 patients undergoing anterior subtotal vertebrectomy and TMC fusion in the Second Department of Spine, Shanghai Changzheng Hospital Affiliated to the Second Military Medical University from March to September 2015 were analyzed retrospectively. After 12-month follow-up, the height of the fused segments was measured, and the neurologic outcomes were evaluated using the Japanese Orthopedic Association scores. The loss of the fused segments subsided more than 3 mm compared with that at 1 day postoperatively was considered as TMC subsidence, and all patients were allotted to TMC subsidence and control (without TMC subsidence) groups.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) Totally 19 patients (56%) experienced TMC subsidence that occurred in postoperative (6.00±3.73) months averagely. (2) No significant differences were found in the age, sex or the level of fused segments between two groups (P=0.731, 0.672, 0.053). (3) The Japanese Orthopedic Association recovery ratio in the control group was significantly higher than that in the TMC subsidence group (P=0.01), suggesting that TMC subsidence might be correlated with the poor improvement of neurologic function after surgery. (4) To conclude, TMC subsidence is a common complication after anterior subtotal vertebrectomy, which does harm to the treatment outcomes.Moreover, age, sex or the level of fused segments are not independent risk factors for TMC subsidence.

Over-expression of APP and Swedish mutation could cause some familial early onset AD. In this study, a primary screening was conducted of effective small interference RNAs (siRNAs) targeted wild type APP (APPwt) and Swedish mutant APP (APPswe). One siRNA targeting APPwt and the other siRNA targeting APPswe were designed. All these siRNAs were endogenously expressed by siRNAs expressing plasmids. COS-7 cells were transiently co-transfected with APP-GFP recombinant plasmids and siRNA expression vector. The silencing effect of each siRNA was quantitatively assessed by the level of expression of green fluorescent protein (GFP). It was found that the siRNAs silenced APPwt and APPswe to different degrees. siRNA directed against APPswe was more effective in suppressing the expression of fusion gene of APPswe than that of APPwt. The silencing effect of siRNA directed against APPswe indicating allele-specific silencing property of the siRNAs. Therefore, siRNAs directed against APP play an important role both in the therapeutic study of Alzheimer disease and functional exploration ofAPP gene.
