Objective A biomechanical model of cervical kyphosis under the effects of axial traction load and lateral push load was establised,so as to provide a theoretical basis for the treatment of cervical curvature abnormalities,and formulate the most appropriate treatment plan for patients.Methods Based on the CT scan data of patients,the axial data of the cervical spine was extracted to fit the cervical curvature curve.Using the Timoshenko beam theory and the cervical rehabilitation training system,a mathematical model of cervical kyphosis was established for analytical calculations to obtain the recovery curve of the cervical spine under load and the total load required to cure cervical kyphosis,and its rationality was also verified.Results The biomechanical model of cervical kyphosis was established.Under the effects of axial traction load and lateral push load,the cervical spine effectively developed in the direction of physiological bending.The total axial load and lateral load were 353 N and 5 649 N,respectively,and the total axial load increased with the increase in traction angle.The therapeutic moment of the total lateral load decreased as the Bordon value increased.The therapeutic moment of the axial load was smaller than that of the lateral load in the range of normal Bordon value,confirming the rationality of the loads.Conclusions The established biomechanical model of cervical kyphosis can accurately simulate the biomechanical characteristics of the cervical spine,and the analysis results were valid,providing a mechanical theoretical basis for the design of treatment plans for patients.

Objective     To compare the perioperative results between uniportal and three-portal thoracoscopic lobectomy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods     Electronic databases including PubMed, Web of Science, EMbase, CNKI, Wanfang were systematically searched from the establishment of each database until April 2022. Literature screening, data extraction and bias risk assessment were independently conducted by two researchers. All combined results were performed by RevMan 5.3 and Stata 16.0. The quality of the literature and the risk of bias were evaluated using the Cochrane Bias Risk Assessment Tool. Results     Eighteen eligible randomized controlled trials (1 597 patients) were identified eventually, including 800 patients undergoing uniportal thoracoscopic lobectomy and 797 patients undergoing three-portal thoracoscopic lobectomy. Meta-analysis results showed that compared to the three-portal approach, uniportal lobectomy took longer operation time (WMD=7.63, 95%CI 2.36 to 12.91, P=0.005) with less intraoperative blood loss (WMD=–28.81, 95%CI –42.54 to –15.08, P<0.001). Furthermore, patients undergoing uniportal lobectomy achieved lower visual analogue score within 24 hours after the operation (WMD=–1.60, 95%CI –2.26 to –0.94, P<0.001), less volume of drainage after the operation (WMD=–25.30, 95%CI –46.22 to –4.37, P=0.020), as well as shorter drainage duration (WMD=–0.36, 95%CI –0.72 to –0.01, P=0.040). Besides, patients undergoing uniportal lobectomy were also observed with shorter length of hospital stay (WMD=–2.28, 95%CI –2.68 to –1.88, P<0.001) and lower incidence of postoperative complications (RR=0.49, 95%CI 0.38 to 0.63, P<0.001). However, the number of lymph nodes harvested during the operation (WMD=–0.01, 95%CI –0.24 to 0.21, P=0.930) was similar between the two groups. Conclusion     Both uniportal and three-portal thoracoscopic lobectomy for NSCLC are safe and feasible. The uniportal approach is superior in reducing short-term postoperative pain, postoperative complications and shortening the length of hospital stay.
