Objectives:To identify the core predictor variables for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis(AIS)pro-gression using machine learning algorithms and develop a risk prediction model.Methods:A cohort of 361 AIS patients initially diagnosed at the Second Hospital of Shanxi Medical University between January 2018 and June 2023 was enrolled and followed.Demographic data and imaging data of the patients were collected.The patients were stratified into progression(Cobb angle increased ≥6° in the primary curve)and non-pro-gression groups,and were randomly divided into training and test sets at an 8∶2 ratio.Predictor variables were selected using LASSO regression and random survival forest(RSF)algorithms.Three prediction models were developed:a RSF model,a survival support vector machine(SSVM)model,and an extreme gradient boosting(XGBoost)model.An optimal model was selected according to the concordance index(C-index)and integrated Brier score,and the discrimination,accuracy and clinical application value of the optimal model were assessed using receiver operating characteristic(ROC)and area under the curve(AUC),bootstrap-corrected C-index,calibration curves,integrated Brier score,and decision curve analysis(DC A)based on the training set.Results:The scoliosis progression rate of the 361 AIS patients was 41.27％.The predictors consistently identified with LASSO regression and RSF algorithm were initial Cobb angle,Risser sign,apical vertebral ro-tation,spinal growth rate,brace treatment or not,T1 tilt angle,and apical vertebra translation.The RSF model demonstrated superior performance with a C-index of 0.837(vs.0.790 for SSVM and 0.743 for XG-Boost)and the lowest integrated Brier score(0.084 vs.0.161 and 0.133).Time-dependent AUC values for the RSF model were 0.903(95％CI:0.829-0.977)at 6 months,0.870(95％CI:0.756-0.985)at 12 months,0.858(95％CI:0.742-0.973)at 18 months,and 0.862(95％CI:0.728-0.997)at 24 months.Bootstrap-corrected C-in-dex remained robust at 0.842(95％CI:0.749-0.917).Calibration curves showed close alignment between pre-dicted and observed outcomes,with an integrated Brier score of 0.084.DCA revealed clinical utility across threshold probabilities of 5％-20％(6-month),10％-80％(12-month),10％-70％(18-month),and 25％-85％(24-month).Conclusions:The RSF model incorporating initial Cobb angle,Risser sign,apical vertebra rotation,spinal growth rate,brace treatment or not,T1 tilt angle,and apical vertebra translation can effectively predict risk probability of scoliosis progression in future for AIS patients after initial diagnosis.

BACKGROUND:Intervertebral disc degeneration is clinically considered to be the main cause of low back pain,but due to the unclear pathogenesis of intervertebral disc degeneration,there is still a lack of effective means to delay the progression of the disease.Single-cell RNA sequencing technology can amplify and sequence mRNA at the single-cell level,reveal the gene expression intensity of a single cell,discover different cell subsets in tissues according to the heterogeneity of cells,study the pathogenesis of intervertebral disc degeneration at the molecular level,and provide a new theoretical basis for its early diagnosis and treatment. OBJECTIVE:To introduce the basic principles of single-cell RNA sequencing technology and review the research progress of single-cell RNA sequencing technology in intervertebral disc degeneration in recent years. METHODS:A computer was used to search PubMed,Web of Science,CNKI and WanFang databases for the literature published from 2012 to 2022.Key words were"single-cell RNA sequencing,intervertebral disc degeneration,sequencing Technology"in Chinese and English.Duplicate,poor-quality and irrelevant articles were excluded;a total of 70 articles were eventually included. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)We identified new cell subsets such as homeostatic chondrocytes,hypertrophy chondrocyte-like nucleus pulposus cells and fibrous nucleus pulposus cells,identified the marker genes and transcription factors of these cell subsets,and described the functions,differentiation paths and cell fate of these cell subsets during the development and progression of intervertebral disc degeneration,and proposed the concept of progenitor nucleus pulposus cells.A cell subpopulation with progenitor nucleus pulposus cells properties was identified and its effectiveness in treating intervertebral disc degeneration was verified in mice.(2)Fibro chondrocyte-like annulus fibrosus cells and annulus fibrosus stem cells with both cartilage and fiber properties were identified,and a new type of composite hydrogel was prepared by combining fibrous cartilage inducers silk fibroin and hyaluronic acid in vitro.Experiments in mice demonstrated that this hydrogel could repair both annulus fibrosus tissue and cartilage matrix,and was remarkably effective in the treatment of intervertebral disc degeneration.(3)Regulatory chondrocytes were found in endplate cartilage.Two distinct fates in the progression of intervertebral disc degeneration were analyzed and the differential genes in the two fates were identified.Intercellular communication analysis indicated that regulatory chondrocytes interact with endothelial cells to promote angiogenesis.(4)Immune cells such as macrophages,T cells,myeloid progenitor cells and neutrophils were identified in the degenerated intervertebral disc tissues,demonstrating the existence of immune response during intervertebral disc degeneration.It was found that apolipoprotein induced the polarization of macrophages M1 and M2 subtypes,and this polarization process affected the activity of progenitor nucleus pulposus cells by amplifying the inflammatory response through the MIF signaling pathway.

Objective:To investigate the long-term efficacy and complications of augmentation uretero-enterocystoplasty (AUEC).Methods:The clinical data of 262 patients with lower urinary tract dysfunction who underwent AUEC at our center from January 2003 to June 2022 were analyzed retrospectively. There were 193 males and 69 females, the median age was 24 (4, 67) years, the median disease duration was 12.0 (0.2, 56.0) years and the preoperative creatinine was 91.5 (68.1, 140.0) μmol/L. 320 ureters had high-grade UUTD, 216 ureters had VUR, 14 of which had low-pressure reflux.The number of low-grade VUR ureter was 22 (10.2%) and the number of high-grade VUR ureter was 194 (89.8%). Video-urodynamics showed that the maximum bladder capacity was 102 (47, 209) ml, the maximum detrusor pressure was 33.0 (15.5, 50.5) cmH 2O, and the bladder compliance was 6.4 (3.0, 12.3) ml/cmH 2O. All patients underwent AUEC. The surgical method is to cut a segment of sigmoid colon, open the sigmoid colon along the mesenteric margin, fold and suture it into " U" or " S" shaped intestinal mesh according to the principle of " detubulization" . At the same time, perform ureteroplasty and replanting, and then anastomosis the intestinal mesh with the opened bladder flap to form an expanded new bladder. Follow-up was performed via outpatient clinic or telephone. The creatinine, maximum bladder capacity, maximum detrusor pressure, bladder compliance, ureteral reflux and upper urinary tract dilatation were compared preoperatively and postoperatively. The postoperative complications were also evaluated. Results:The median follow-up time was 57.4 (4, 151) months after surgery. At 1-3 months after surgery, the maximum bladder capacity and bladder compliance increased to 303.9% and 189.9% of the preoperative level, and the maximum detrusor pressure decreased to 63.6% of the preoperative level. At 6-10 years after surgery, the maximum bladder capacity and bladder compliance increased to 490.2% and 627.9% and the maximum detrusor pressure decreased to 25.8% of the preoperative level. The UUTD of the patients was significantly reduced after surgery. The number of the high grade UUTD decreased to 116 (116/398, 29.2%) at 1-3 months and 51 (51/274, 18.6%) at 4-6 months. At 6-10 years, the number of the high-grade UUTD decreased to 4 (4/76, 5.3%) ( P<0.001), which was significantly lower than that before operation. The VUR was significantly relieved after operation, and 393 ureters had no VUR at 1-3 months, accounting for 97.8% (393/402) of the total ureters. Sustained remission of VUR was observed during follow-up. 73 ureters had no VUR at 6-10 years, accounting for 96.1% (73/76) of total ureters ( P<0.001). Patients' creatinine decreased to 79.0 (65.0-128.2) μmol/L at 1-3 months postoperatively, with a downward trend but no statistical difference, and creatinine levels were not significantly elevated at any postoperative time point compared with preoperative levels ( P>0.05). Postoperative complications included metabolic acidosis in 26 cases (9.9%), vesicoureteral anastomosis stenosis in 15 cases (5.7%), recurrent urinary tract infection in 16 cases (6.1%), and urinary calculi in 20 cases (7.6%), and intestinal obstruction requiring laparotomy in 8 cases (3.1%), all of them could be improved after treatments. Conclusions:AUEC is a safe and effective method for treating high-grade VUR or VUR with impaired anti-reflux mechanism, high-grade UUTD or UUTD with ureteral or vesicoureteral junction obstruction, and all of the complications can be improved after treatment. This technique can increase the bladder capacity and compliance, reconstruct the anti-reflux mechanism, and release upper urinary tract obstruction. It may play an important role in stabilizing and protecting the residual renal function from further deterioration.

Objective:To compare the clinical outcomes between pedicle screw internal fixation via the Wiltse approach and conservative treatment in young patients with thoracolumbar fracture with Thoracolumbar Injury Classification and Severity score (TLICS) ≤ 4 points.Methods:This retrospective study included 219 young patients with thoracolumbar fracture with TLICS score ≤ 4 points who had been treated from January 2014 to December 2018 at Department of Orthopaedics, The Second Hospital of Shanxi Medical University and obtained full follow-up. They were assigned into a surgery group of 126 patients subjected to pedicle screw internal fixation via the Wiltse approach and a conservative group of 93 patients subjected to conservative treatment. The surgery group included 65 males and 61 females, aged from 18 to 37 years, with a TLICS score of 1 point in 38 cases and of 2 to 4 points in 88 ones; the conservative group included 48 males and 45 females, aged from 19 to 38 years, with a TLICS score of 1 point in 29 cases and of 2 to 4 points in 64 ones. Patients in both groups underwent thoracolumbar X-ray, CT and MRI before treatment and regular thoracolumbar X-ray reexamination after treatment. Improvements in visual analog scale (VAS) for low back pain were compared between pre- and post-treatment. The 2 groups were compared in terms of VAS, anterior height of the injured vertebra and kyphosis cobb angle between pre-treatment, one month post-treatment and the last follow-up.Results:The 2 groups were comparable due to insignificant differences between them in the pre-treatment general data ( P>0.05). In the surgery group, patients were followed up for 24 to 72 months, the average VAS scores at one month post-treatment (2.5±1.2) and the last follow-up (2.3±0.8) were significantly improved compared to the pre-treatment value (6.8±2.1) ( P<0.05), and no serious surgical complications occurred. In the conservative group, patients were followed up for 30 to 65 months, the average VAS scores at one month post-treatment (3.9±1.9) and the last follow-up (3.5±0.9) were significantly improved compared to the pre-treatment value (6.2±2.0) ( P<0.05), and the rate of complications was 11.8% (11/93, including 3 cases of neural symptoms of the lower limb, 4 cases of bedsore and 4 cases of pulmonary infection). The VAS, anterior height of the injured vertebra and kyphosis cobb angle at one month post-treatment and the last follow-up in the surgery group were all significantly better than in the conservative group ( P<0.05). Conclusion:In young patients with thoracolumbar fracture with TLICS ≤ 4 points, pedicle screw internal fixation via the Wiltse approach can lead to better therapeutic outcomes than conservative treatment, especially in relief of postoperative low back pain.

Objective:To investigate the feasibility and early clinical effect of lumbar lateral anterior interbody fusion in the treatment of degenerative lumbar scoliosis.Methods:Forty patients with degenerative lumbar scoliosis who underwent lumbar lateral anterior interbody fusion combined with posterior percutaneous pedicle screw and rod internal fixation from January 2018 to January 2020 were selected. There were 17 males and 23 females; The age was 65.4±7.2 years (range 51-84 years). All patients had obvious low back pain, of which 22 patients (55.0%) had lower limb pain, numbness or intermittent claudication. 16 patients (40.0%) had scoliosis and the main curve protruded to the right, and 24 patients (60.0%) had scoliosis and the main curve protruded to the left. The operation time and intraoperative bleeding were recorded. The main outcome measures were visual analogue scale (VAS), Oswestry disability index (ODI), the MOS item short from health survey (SF-36), deformity correction, bone graft fusion time and complications.Results:The left approach was used in 16 cases of scoliosis with the main curve protruding to the right; In 24 cases, the main curve of scoliosis protruded to the left, of which 6 cases showed osteophyte on the concave side (right side) of coronal CT and the right approach was adopted, while the rest were adopted the left approach. Single segment fusion was performed in 8 cases (20.0%), double segment fusion in 12 cases (30.0%), three segment fusion in 16 cases (40.0%), and four segment fusion in 4 cases (10%). Among the 22 patients with symptoms of lower limb nerve damage, 6 needed secondary unilateral laminectomy. All 40 patients completed the operation successfully, the operation time was 255±37 min (range 130-345 min) and the amount of intraoperative bleeding was 100±16.2 ml (range 10-505 ml). All patients were followed up for 12.8±4.5 months (range 6-24 months). The preoperative VAS score was 5.7±1.0, improved to 3.5±0.7 on the first day after operation, and 1.4±0.3 at the last follow-up. The difference was statistically significant ( F=2322.229, P <0.001). The preoperative ODI was 79.9%±9.3%, the first day after operation was 51.6%±8.9%, and the last follow-up was 11.7%±2.2%. The difference was statistically significant ( F=3770.411, P <0.001). SF-36 was 68.6±5.3 before operation and 78.4±5.5 on the first day after operation, which increased to 109.9 ± 4.9 at the last follow-up. The difference was statistically significant ( F=21736.486, P <0.001). The Cobb angle of lumbar scoliosis was 27.8°±14.1° before operation and 7.5°±3.5° on the first day after operation, the difference was statistically significant ( t=3.551, P <0.001); The height of intervertebral space was 10.9±2.1 mm before operation and 15.3±3.4 mm on the first day after operation, the difference was statistically significant ( t=2.106, P <0.001). 24 patients (60.0%) had pain or numbness in the front of the thigh, and 4 patients (10.0%) had quadriceps femoris weakness; These symptoms disappeared within 3 months after operation in 26 patients, except that the numbness in the front of the thigh was only reduced in 2 patients 3 months after operation. All patients achieved satisfactory fusion in all segments at the last follow-up, and there was no non-fusion. Conclusion:Lumbar lateral anterior interbody fusion is a safe and feasible method for the treatment of degenerative lumbar scoliosis.

Objective: To explore the relationship between the compression depth and compressive stress of the anterior and posterior cervical spinal cord in different sports positions. Methods: Specimens of ten intact fresh cervical spine (C₁-T₁) from adult cadaver were collected. In order to simulate cervical disc degeneration and abnormal ligamentum flavum, we placed two hemispherical steel balls into the anterior and posterior side of the cervical spinal cord through the bone window of the C_{4, 5}. The measurement was conducted in 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, and 60% of the sagittal diameter for the compressive stress of the anterior and posterior cervical spinal cord under different compression depths of flexion, neutral, and posterior extension. Results: The anterior depth of a certain pressure with the posterior pressure depth was increasing in neutral position, the stress on the anterior of the cervical cord-meningeal complex (CCMC) had no significant change, while the stress on the posterior of the CCMC increased greatly with the increasing of the degree of canal occlusion. The stress on the posterior of the CCMC varied insignificantly between 10% and 20% depth of canal occlusion (P>0.05). However, there was remarkable significance among 30% and 60% (P<0.05). In extension or flexion position, the stress on the anterior of the CCMC had no significant change, while the stress on the posterior of the CCMC increased greatly with the increasing of the degree of canal occlusion. The stress on the posterior of the CCMC varied insignificantly between neighboring depths of canal occlusion from 10% (P>0.05). However, there was remarkable significance among 20% and 60% (P<0.05). The posterior depth of a certain pressure with the anterior pressure depth was increasing in neutral position. The stress on the anterior of the CCMC increased greatly with the increasing of the degree of canal occlusion. The stress on the anterior of the CCMC varied insignificantly between 10% and 20% depth of canal occlusion(P>0.05). However, there was remarkable significance among 30% and 60% (P<0.05). The stress on the posterior of the CCMC had no significant change. In extension or flexion position, the stress on the anterior of the CCMC increased greatly with the increasing of the degree of canal occlusion. The stress on the anterior of the CCMC varied insignificantly between neighboring depths of canal occlusion from 10% (P>0.05). However, there was remarkable significance among 20% and 60% (P<0.05). The stress on the posterior of the CCMC had no significant change. Compared with the neutral position, the anterior flexion position and the posterior extension position had different trends in the compressive stress in the anterior and posterior aspect of the cervical spinal cord. Conclusion The stress on the anterior and the posterior of the CCMC has a closely nonlinear relationship with the depth of canal occlusion. With the increase of the depth of canal occlusion, the stress is increasing, especially running over the 30% depress of canal occlusion under neutral position. However, the stress is increased, especially running over the 20% depress of canal occlusion under the flexion and extension position.

Objective: To analyze the mid-term clinical efficacy of extended to C1, 2 posterior single-door laminoplasty for the treatment of ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament combined the upper cervical spine. Methods: From February 2013 to December 2015, 32 patients with cervical OPLL who were extended to C1, 2 posterior open-door laminoplasty were enrolled in our hospital (complete follow-up of 25 patients). There were 19 males and 6 females, aged 48-76 years (mean 60.1±7.0 years). Cervical spinal cord function was assessed using the Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) spinal cord function score, and the rate of improvement in neurological function was calculated. The quality of life of patients was assessed using the neck disability index (NDI). Axial symptoms were assessed and indexed using the visual analog scale (VAS). The C0-2 angle of the cervical spine was measured by X-ray preoperative and at the last follow-up. The cervical curvature was evaluated by the C2-7 angle, and the cervical vertebra activity was observed by the dynamic X-ray of the cervical spine. Results: 25 patients were followed up for a period of 26-64 months (mean 35.9±8.1 months). At the last follow-up, the JOA score was 14.32±3.24, the NDI score was 7.61±1.23, and the VAS score was 1.42±0.78. The differences between the three scores were statistically significant compared with the preoperative scores. The neurological improvement rate at the last follow-up was 79.61%±13.23%. The preoperative C0-2 angle was 26.04°±6.28°, and the last follow-up was 24.92°±5.51°; the C2-7 angle was 19.55°±9.42° before surgery, and the C2-7 angle at last follow-up was 17.97°±8.80°. The C2-7 angle at last follow-up was slightly reduced compared with that preoperative, but the difference was not statistically significant. The preoperative cervical vertebra ROM was 35.31°±12.24°, and at the last follow-up it was 32.23°±9.65°. The ROM of cervical vertebrae at the last follow-up was slightly lower than that before surgery, but the difference was not statistically significant. Among them, the reduction of the ROM of overflexion was greater than that of the over-extension, which was the main reason for the decrease of ROM. The OPLL bone mass continued to grow at the last follow-up of 11 patients. Conclusion The extended to C1, 2 posterior single-door laminoplasty for the treatment of ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament combined the upper cervical spine can achieve adequate spinal cord decompression, satisfactory neurological improvement, and improve the postoperative cervical curvature and activity. There was no obvious change in the curvature and activity of the cervical spine, and the axial symptoms did not increase significantly, and the clinical efficacy was positive.
