Asian Spine Journal 2025;19(1):112-120
Methods:
From March 2020 to March 2023, 100 inpatients with DS were classified into groups A, B, C, and D based on the CARDS classification system. Preoperative radiological data were analyzed to measure the severity of central canal stenosis, facet joint arthropathy, intervertebral disc herniation, and spinal epidural lipomatosis, osteophyte formation, range of motion (ROM), and computed tomography value of the vertebral bodies. The radiological characteristics and clinical contraindications for OLIF were compared among the groups.
Results:
Of the 100 patients, 51% had clinical contraindications for OLIF, which included 85%, 25%, 62.5%, and 20% of patients in groups A, B, C, and D, respectively. Compared with group B, group A demonstrated greater severity of central canal stenosis, whereas group C showed a higher degree of facet joint arthropathy. More patients in groups A and C had severe central canal stenosis. Regarding the ROM results, group A had segmental stiffness, whereas group D presented relatively unstable slip segments.
Conclusions
Patients with different DS subtypes have varied radiological characteristics. Groups B and D are suitable candidates for OLIF. Most patients in group A are unsuitable for OLIF because of bony hyperplasia, severe spinal stenosis, and segmental stiffness.

AIM: To compare the visual quality in patients with low-to-moderate myopia after 0.05 D interval spherical lens optometry-guided small-incision lenticule extraction(SMILE)and conventional 0.25 D interval spherical lens optometry-guided SMILE.METHODS: Retrospective study. A total of 400 cases(400 eyes)with low-to-moderate myopia that underwent SMILE in the ophthalmology department of 989th Hospital of Joint Logistic Support Force from August 2021 to August 2023 were enrolled and the data from the right eyes were collected for analysis. According to the method of optometry test modality, they were divided into 0.05 D group and 0.25 D group, with 200 eyes in each group. The differences were compared between the two groups of patients in intraoperative corneal ablation thickness, uncorrected distance visual acuity(UDVA), high-order corneal aberrations(HOA), spherical aberrations, vertical coma, horizontal coma and trefoil aberrations before and at 1, 3 and 6 mo after surgery. Additionally, the percentage of eyes with residual spherical equivalent(SE)≤±0.25 D, postoperative visual symptoms and scores on the quality of visual(Qov)were compared between the two groups at 6 mo after surgery.RESULTS: The corneal ablation thickness in the 0.05 D group was 92.78±16.56 μm, which was slightly higher than that in the 0.25 D group(83.24±17.33 μm; P<0.001). The UDVA at each postoperative time point in the 0.05 D group was superior to that in the 0.25 D group(all P<0.001). The HOA, spherical aberration, horizontal coma and vertical coma in the two groups at 1, 3 and 6 mo after operation were higher than those before operation(all P<0.05). The spherical aberration in the 0.05 D group at each time point after surgery were higher than those in the 0.25 D group, and vertical coma were lower than those in the 0.25 D group(all P<0.05). At 6 mo postoperatively, the percentage of eyes with residual SE ≤±0.25 D in the 0.05 D group was 97.5%(195 eyes), which was higher than 87.5%(175 eyes)in the 0.25 D group(P<0.05). The most common adverse visual symptoms after SMILE in both groups were hazy vision and glare. The total Qov score in the 0.05 D group was 0.35(0.24, 0.55), which was lower than [0.62(0.32, 0.89)] in the 0.25 D group(P<0.05).CONCLUSION: Compared with conventional 0.25 D interval spherical lens optometry-guided SMILE, the 0.05 D interval spherical lens optometry-guided SMILE for the correction of low-to-moderate myopia has better predictability and can achieve better vision and visual quality.

ObjectiveThis study aims to explore the molecular mechanism of endometrial cell senescence during the window of implantation (WOI) in unexplained recurrent spontaneous abortion (URSA) and the intervention effect of Bushen Huoxue method through the integrated research strategy of bioinformatics, machine learning, and animal experiments. MethodThe microarray gene sets of the endometrium of healthy women of childbearing age and patients with URSA during WOI were retrieved through the gene expression omnibus (GEO) database. The differentially expressed genes (DEGs) of URSA were screened by using the limma package of R language. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) was used to obtain the most relevant module genes of URSA, and the gene ontology (GO) enrichment analysis and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis were performed. Gene sets related to cell senescence were obtained by the Human Gene Database (GeneCards) and Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM). The Venn online mapping software was used to screen the intersection genes of DEGs of URSA, the most relevant module genes, and the genes related to cell senescence. Then, the search tool for the retrieval of interacting genes/proteins (STRING) was used to analyze the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network of the interacting genes, and the hub genes were screened through Cytohubba. In addition, the least absolute selection and shrinkage operator (LASSO) and random forest algorithm were used to screen diagnostic genes related to cell senescence of URSA. Finally, mouse models with URSA were established and randomly divided into the model group, Bushen Huoxue group, and aspirin group, with six mice in each group, and six normal pregnant mice were selected as a blank group. The Bushen Huoxue group was given Shoutai pill combined with Danggui powder formula granular liquid (12.35 g·kg-1) by gavage, and the aspirin group was gavaged with aspirin at a dose of 0.011 mL·g-1. The blank group and model group were given the same volume of distilled water by gavage. Drug administration began on the first day after the discovery of vaginal thrombus (recorded as the first day of gestation, i.e. GD1), and the mice were sacrificed 12 hours after administration at GD5. The endometrium samples were collected. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR) and immunofluorescence were used to detect the expression of cell senescence-related diagnostic genes in the endometrium tissue of URSA mice during WOI and the intervention effect of the Bushen Huoxue method. ResultThe gene set of the GSE165004 microarray was included for bioinformatics analysis. According to the “limma” package of R language, 585 DEGs of URSA were selected (P<0.05). WGCNA results suggested that the gene in the magenta module was the most closely related to URSA (r=0.32, P<0.05). The results of the KEGG analysis of the magenta module suggested that the genes were mainly enriched in cell senescence, Hippo, and NF-κB signaling pathways (P<0.05). In addition, 2 138 genes related to cell senescence were obtained from Genecards and OMIM websites. The Venn online mapping tool was used to obtain 27 intersecting genes of DEGs of URSA, the magenta module genes, and cell senescence-related genes, namely, cell senescence-related DEGs in endometrium tissue during WOI of URSA. PPI analysis showed that synuclein alpha (SNCA), heme oxygenase 1 (HOMX1), and matrix metallopeptidase 1 (MMP1) were hub genes. Besides, four diagnostic genes were identified by LASSO regression and random forest, including gelsolin (GSN), cyclin2 (CCND2), RB binding protein 8 (RBBP8), and lysophosphatidic acid receptor 1 (LPAR1). Animal experiments confirmed that the mRNA level and fluorescence intensity of GSN were significantly increased (P<0.05), while the mRNA and fluorescence intensity of CCND2, LPAR1, and RBBP8 were significantly decreased (P<0.05) in the model group when compared with the blank group. The expression level of GSN was decreased (P<0.05), while the expression levels of CCND2, LPAR1, and RBBP8 were remarkably increased (P<0.05) in the Bushen Huoxue group when compared with the model group. ConclusionThe senescence of endometrial cells during WOI of URSA is related to multiple genes. Bushen Huoxue method can act on multiple targets that are related to cell senescence, which may be the key mechanism of improving endometrial receptivity in URSA.

AIM: To investigate the early visual quality after 0.05 D interval spherical lens optometry-guided small incision lenticule extraction(SMILE)for the correction of different degrees of myopia.METHODS: Retrospective study. A total of 200 cases(200 eyes)that underwent SMILE at the 989th Hospital of Joint Logistic Support Force from May to September 2023 were selected. The 0.05 D optometry was used to measure diopter. According to the preoperative spherical equivalent(SE), they were divided into low-to-moderate myopic group(>-6.0 D)and high myopic group(≤-6.0 D), with 100 eyes in each group. The total high-order corneal aberration(HOA), spherical aberration, coma and trefoil aberration were compared between the two groups preoperatively and at 6 mo postoperatively, and the quality of vision questionnaire was completed.RESULTS: The HOA, spherical aberration and vertical coma aberration in the two groups at 6 mo after operation were significantly higher than those before operation(all P<0.05). At 6 mo postoperatively, the HOA, spherical aberration and vertical coma aberration in the low-to-moderate myopic group were lower than those in the high myopic group(all P<0.05). The scores of the quality of vision questionnaire, near vision, night vision, night glare and visual fatigue in the low-to-moderate myopic group were all higher than those in the high myopic group(all P<0.05).CONCLUSION: Both low-to-moderate myopia and high myopia after the 0.05 D interval spherical lens optometry-guided SMILE had some visual symptoms, but great visual quality can be obtained after surgery.
