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.

Primary liver cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors of the digestive system, and the “inflammation-to-cancer transformation” (ICT) of chronic hepatitis is the core pathological process of the progression of chronic hepatitis to liver cancer. Persistent and uncontrolled liver inflammation in patients with chronic hepatitis often leads to repeated liver tissue damage and repair, which gradually develops into liver fibrosis and cirrhosis, eventually leading to malignant transformation through the mechanisms such as gene mutation and microenvironment imbalance. ICT in chronic hepatitis is the key link between chronic hepatitis and liver cancer, and its dynamic evolution involves various pathogenic factors such as dampness, heat, deficiency, toxin, and stasis; among which damp-heat and vital energy deficiency are the initiating factors for ICT of chronic hepatitis, while intermingled stasis and toxin are the key pathological products that promote malignant transformation. Based on the concept of preventive treatment, traditional Chinese medicine can effectively delay and even block the ICT of chronic hepatitis by regulating inflammation, metabolism, and abnormal cell proliferation through multiple targets, which provides important strategies and research directions for the prevention and treatment of liver cancer.

ObjectiveTo investigate the therapeutic effect of Dayuanyin on acute lung injury induced by H1N1 infection and decipher the potential mechanism. MethodThe constituents in Dayuanyin were analyzed by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-exactive orbitrap mass spectrometry (UHPLC-Q-Exactive Orbitrap MS). Forty-eight female BALB/c mice were randomized into normal, model, oseltamivir (19.5 mg·kg-1), and low-, medium-, and high-dose (2.73, 5.46, 10.92 g·kg-1) Dayuanyin groups. The normal and model groups were administrated with deionized water by gavage, and the other groups were administrated with the corresponding drugs by gavage. On day 3 of drug administration, the normal group received nasal inhalation of normal saline, and the other groups were inoculated intranasally with A/RP/8/34 (H1N1) for the modeling of influenza virus infection. Mice were administrated with drugs continuously for 7 days and weighed daily. Sampling was performed 12 h after the last administration, and the lung tissue was weighed to calculate the lung index. Hematoxylin-eosin staining was performed to observe the pathological and morphological changes of the lung tissue and bronchi. The cytometric bead array (CBA) was used to measure the serum levels of interferon-gamma (IFN-γ), C-X-C motif ligand 1 (CXCL1), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), chemokine ligand 2 (CCL2), interleukin-12p70 (IL-12p70), chemokine ligand 5 (CCL5), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 10 (CXCL10), granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), interleukin-10 (IL-10), interferon-beta (IFN-β), interferon-alpha (IFN-α), and interleukin-6 (IL-6). According to the results of mass spectrometry and network pharmacology, we analyzed the mechanism of Dayuanyin in treating acute lung injury caused by H1N1. The protein levels of extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2), p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38 MAPK), nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB), and their phosphorylated forms were determined by Western blot. The mRNA levels of myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88), Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3), Toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7), and Toll-like receptor 8 (TLR8) in the lung tissue were measured by Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR). ResultA total of 57 compounds, including paeoniflorin and baicalein, were detected in Dayuanyin. Compared with the normal group, the model group showed decreased body weight (P<0.01), lung edema and hemorrhage, increased lung index (P<0.01), and elevated levels of IFN-γ, IL-12p70, CCL5, IL-1β, CXCL10, GM-CSF, IFN-β, and IL-6 (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, Dayuanyin attenuated alveolar wall thickening, capillary congestion, and immune cell infiltration, reduced the alterations in body weight and lung index (P<0.01), and down-regulated the protein levels of IFN-γ, IL-12p70, CCL5, IL-1β, CXCL10, GM-CSF, IFN-β, and IL-6 (P<0.01). A total of 57 key genes were predicted by network pharmacological analysis, of which the MAPK signaling pathway was the main target signaling pathway. Compared with the normal group, the model group showed up-regulation in the protein levels of phosphorylation (p)-ERK1/2, p-p38 MAPK, and p-NF-κB (P<0.01) and the mRNA levels of TLR7, TLR8, MyD88, and TLR3 (P<0.05, P<0.01). Compared with the model group, Dayuanyin lowered the phosphorylation levels of ERK1/2, p38 MAPK, and NF-κB p65 in a dose-dependent manner (P<0.01) and down-regulated the mRNA levels of TLR3, TLR7, TLR8, and MyD88 (P<0.01). ConclusionDayuanyin can prevent and control H1N1 infection-induced acute lung injury by inhibiting the TLR/MAPK/NF-κB signaling pathway.

A 15-year-old female with Hodgkin's lymphoma underwent ovarian tissue cryopreservation for preserving fertility in Reproductive Department of Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital,Zhejiang University School of Medical after receiving one course of chemotherapy.During the ovarian tissue cryopreservation,one MⅡmature oocyte and three germinal vesicle oocytes were found.The three immature oocytes underwent in vitro maturation but failed.Ultimately,one mature oocyte and 12 ovarian cortex slices were cryopreserved using vitrification.This case indicates that for patients with established gonadal axis feedback,ovarian tissue cryopreservation may not be the only method for fertility preservation.It is advisable to consider ovarian stimulation and oocyte retrieval for oocyte cryopreservation.Alternatively,for individuals in the ovulation phase of their menstrual cycle,attempting oocyte retrieval before ovarian tissue cryopreservation to obtain mature oocytes from the natural cycle,followed by oocyte cryopreservation,may enhance the likelihood of successful fertility preservation.
