Zearalenone(ZEN)is a mycotoxin that extensively contaminates food and feed,posing a significant threat to public health.However,the mechanisms behind ZEN-induced intestinal immunotoxicity remain unclear.In this study,Sprague-Dawley(SD)rats were exposed to ZEN at a dosage of 5 mg/kg/day b.w.for a duration of 14 days.The results demonstrated that ZEN exposure led to notable pathological alterations and immunosup-pression within the intestine.Furthermore,ZEN exposure caused a significant reduction in the levels of apolipoprotein E(ApoE)and liver X receptor(LXR)(P<0.05).Conversely,it upregulated the levels of myeloid-derived suppressor cells(MDSCs)markers(P<0.05)and decreased the presence of 27-hydroxycholesterol(27-HC)in the intestine(P<0.05).It was observed that ApoE or LXR agonists were able to mitigate the immunosuppressive effects induced by ZEN.Additionally,a bioinformatics analysis highlighted that the downregulation of ApoE might elevate the susceptibility to colorectal,breast,and lung cancers.These find-ings underscore the crucial role of the 27-HC/LXR/ApoE axis disruption in ZEN-induced MDSCs proliferation and subsequent inhibition of T lymphocyte activation within the rat intestine.Notably,ApoE may emerge as a pivotal target linking ZEN exposure to cancer development.

Objective:To explore the reoperation rate and risk factors of adjacent segment disease (ASDis) in patients with lumbar degenerative diseases after transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF).Methods:The clinical data of 460 patients who underwent TLIF for lumbar degenerative diseases in our hospital from January 2011 to December 2013 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 204 males and 256 females with an age of 54.6±12.6 years (range, 20-85 years). Divided into ASDis group and None ASDis (N-ASDis) group according to the occurrence of ASDis and received surgical treatment. The age of ASDis group was 57.9±12.2 years, with 14 males and 12 females, while the age of N-ASDis group was 54.4±12.5 years, with 188 males and 246 females. Count the reoperation rate of ASDis. Compare the age, body mass index (BMI), comorbidities, surgery-related parameters, length of stay, imaging parameters before and after surgery between the two groups, and use univariate analysis and logistic regression analysis to explore risk factors for ASDis.Results:Among 460 patients who underwent TLIF due to lumbar degenerative diseases, 26 patients developed ASDis and received surgical treatment, the reoperation rate was about 5.7%. Among them, the reoperation rate of ASDis with above Pfirrmann grade III in the adjacent intervertebral disc was about 53.1% (17/32). The average onset time of adjacent segment disease was 76.3±25.0 months (range, 30-111 months). Univariate analysis showed that BMI ( t=3.86, P<0.001), history of hypertension (χ 2=5.30, P=0.021), preoperative adjacent vertebral disc degeneration (χ 2=85.90, P<0.001), preoperative adjacent spinal canal stenosis (χ 2=25.35, P<0.001), and preoperative intervertebral space height of adjacent segments ( t=4.33, P<0.001) were statistically different among patients with or without ASDis. Incorporating the above indicators into the logistic regression model, the analysis results showed that body mass index (BMI) >24.9 kg/m 2 and preoperative adjacent intervertebral disc degeneration ≥III degree were risk factors for ASDis after TLIF. Conclusion:The reoperation rate of ASDis after TLIF in patients with lumbar degenerative disease is about 5.7%. BMI>24.9 kg/m 2 and preoperative adjacent intervertebral disc degeneration ≥III degree are risk factors for ASDis and received surgical treatment after TLIF.

Objective:To propose and verify a surgical classification system for the axial primary malignant and aggressive benign tumor.Methods:The CZH surgical classification system was originally developed for the axial primary malignant and aggressive benign tumor. The CZH surgical classification system includes seven types, according to the anatomic features and the extension of tumor violation. A total of 136 patients (79 males and 57 females) with axial primary malignant and aggressive benign tumor from multiple tertiary centers who received surgery from July 2006 to July 2019 were included. The average age was 44.40±17.55 years (8-83 years) old. There were 99 malignant tumors and 37 aggressive benign tumors included. The number of patients with each classification was presented as followed, Type I 13, Type II 15, Type IIIa 3, Type IIIb 20, Type IVa 43, Type IVb 12, Type Va 21, Type Vb 3, Type VI 2, Type VIIa 3 and Type VIIb 1. Surgical procedures were selected according to different types in classification. The inter- and intra-observer consistencies were evaluated by the Kendall's W test. The VAS, Frankel score, overall survival and recurrence free survival were recorded during the follow-up. Results:The inter- and intra-observer consistent coefficient was 0.973 and 0.996, respectively ( P<0.05). The single posterior approach was adopted for the Type II tumors. Other patients underwent surgery by the combined antero-posterior approach. The majority in anterior approach (113 cases) was the modified submandibular approach. The reconstruction modes included anterior "T" shape titanium mesh (112 cases) or the 3D printed prothesis (7 cases) combined with the posterior occipto-cervical fusion (92 cases) or the pedicle screw system (44 cases). The average surgical duration and the volume of intraoperative bleeding was 348.40±136.14 min (60-760 min) and 1 225.69±859.40 ml (80-4 000 ml), respectively. The operation duration and volume of intraoperative bleeding among each type were with statistical difference. The patients with Type IV, V tumors had longer operation duration than those with Type II tumors. Those with Type V and VII tumors had longer operation duration than those with Type I tumors. The patients with Type V tumors had more intraoperative bleeding than those with Type I-IV tumors. The average preoperative VAS score was 4.15±2.25 and then was reduced significantly to 0.62±0.71 and 0.38±0.59 at one and three months after operation, respectively. The Frankel score was also significantly ameliorated at one and three months postoperatively. There were 22 postoperative complications (16.2%). The complications included cerebral spinal fluid leak (12.5%), dysphagia and/or dysphonia (7.4%), dyspnea (5.1%), wound infection (3.7%), wound hemorrhage (2.2%) and pharyngeal dehiscence (1.5%). The incidence of postoperative complication was 25.9% in Type IV-VII tumors, while 11.8% in Type I-III tumors. Conclusion:CZH surgical classification system was verified with high observer consistency. This classification system could assist surgeons to select proper surgical approaches, resection modes and reconstruction modes, and thus ensure the safety of surgery and reduce the recurrence. The tumors in Type IV, V and VII may be with more challenging for surgeons. The incidence of postoperative complication in Type IV-VII tumors may be higher than that in Type I-III tumors.

Objective:To investigate the feasibility and clinical outcome of single-stage posterior total en bloc spondylectomy via posterior approach for lowerlumbar spinal malignant tumors.Methods:The clinical data of 23 patients with metastatic tumors of the lower lumbar spine who underwent single-stage posterior total En bloc spondylectomy in our hospital from January 2012 to June 2018 were analyzed retrospectively. There were 14 males and 9 females, age 57.9±10.8 years old (range, 37-74 years old). All patients were treated with single-stage posterior total en blocspondylectomy, titanium mesh implantation and posterior pedicle screw fixation. Observation items included operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperativehospital stays,the visual analogue scale (VAS) and the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) physical condition score of the patients before operation,1 month after operationand 6 months after operation, the American spinal injury association (ASIA) spinal cord injury grade pre-operation andpostoperation, perioperative complications, local recurrence and survival state.Results:The median fellow-up time of this group was 20 months (range 6-56 months). At the end of the last follow-up, there were 3 patients who survived, the average follow-up time of the three patients who survived to the last follow-up was 37.3±11.7 months. One of them had local recurrence, but survived with tumor. The operative time was 155-510 min, with an average of 258±96 min, the intraoperative blood loss was 750-2 500 ml, with an average of 1 258.7±528.6 ml, and the postoperative hospital stay was 10-30 d, with an average of 18.4±4.6 d. VAS score decreased from 7.4±0.8 before operation to 2.6±0.6 1 month after operation, and ECOG score decreased from 1.6±0.9 before operation to 0.9±0.76 months after operation, showing statistically significant differences ( P<0.05). 6 patients presented with postoperative acute nerve root stimulation, 3 patients presented with postoperative cerebrospinal fluid leakage, 3 patients presented with postoperative surgical site infection, 1 with pulmonary infection, and 3 patients presented with titanium mesh displacement. Conclusion:Single-stage posterior total En bloc spondylectomy is feasible for the treatment of metastatic tumors of the lower lumbar spine. Although the operation is quite challenging due to its special anatomical structure and biomechanical characteristics,the long-term follow-up effect is satisfactory.
