BACKGROUND:Endoscopic treatment of lumbar disc herniation has obvious advantages over traditional open surgery.Endoscopic surgery involves the implantation of a working cannula,which requires only partial bone removal,and there are no studies on the effects of two types of intraoperative foraminoplasty and laminoplasty on the mechanical properties of the local structure of the lumbar spine. OBJECTIVE:To compare the effect of foraminoplasty and laminoplasty on the biomechanical properties of disc and isthmus of the responsible segment. METHODS:The lumbosacral CT images of a healthy male volunteer were taken,and a finite element model M0 of the L3 to sacral vertebrae was established,on which the primary and secondary foraminoplasty models M1 and M2 of the L5/S1 and the laminoplasty model M3 were built.The same load was applied to compare the intervertebral motion range,disc Von Mises stress and equivalent stress characteristics of L5 vertebral isthmus with each model. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Compared with M0,M1 and M2 motion range in L5/S1 segment did not change significantly in all directions;M2 overall motion range increased by 8.60%in flexion;M3 increased by 8.23%and 8.26%in L5/S1 right bending and right torsion,and 5.39%and 5.67%in overall motion range in flexion and right bending,with no significant changes in motion range in the rest of working conditions.(2)Compared with M0,M1 showed no significant change in the extremes of Von Mises stress at L5/S1 disc;M2 increased 11.06%,12.50%,18.32%,and 15.48%in flexion,extension,left torsion,and right torsion;M3 increased 12.22%,19.54%,10.05%,and 9.97%in flexion,extension,left torsion,and right torsion,and the rest working conditions and L4/5 disc maximum Von Mises stress did not change significantly.(3)Compared to M0,the maximum Von Mises stress in the left isthmus of L5 of M1 increased by 12.43%in left bending,18.38%,13.29%,13.62%,and 40.00%in the right isthmus in extension,right bending,left torsion,and right torsion.The maximum Von Mises stress in the left isthmus of L5 of M2 increased by 38.87%,42.63%,16.95%,and 19.35%,and that in the right isthmus increased by 12.58%,33.70%,12.92%,and 17.42%in flexion,extension,left bending,and left torsion.The maximum Von Mises stress in the left isthmus of L5 of M3 increased 67.07%,78.14%,32.33%,62.94%,and 89.99%in flexion,extension,left and right bending,and right torsion.(4)The results suggest that foraminoplasty and laminoplasty have a small effect on spinal motion range;there is a mild increase in the extreme values of disc Von Mises stress in the segments operated by interbody laminoplasty and secondary foraminoplasty;there is no significant change in the extreme values of disc Von Mises stress in adjacent segments,and there is a significant increase in the Von Mises stress in the ipsilateral isthmus operated by the interbody laminoplasty model.

Objective: This study’s objective is to assess the efficacy and safety of Pulsed Magnetic Therapy System (PMTS) in improving insomnia disorder. Methods: Participants with insomnia disorder were randomly assigned to receive either PMTS or sham treatment for four weeks (n= 153; PMTS: 76, sham: 77). Primary outcomes are the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) scores at week 0 (baseline), 1, 2, 3, 4 (treatment), and 5 (follow-up). Secondary outcomes are the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index at baseline and week 4, and weekly sleep diary-derived values for sleep latency, sleep efficiency, real sleep time, waking after sleep onset, and sleep duration. Results: The ISI scores of the PMTS group and the sham group were 7.13±0.50, 11.07±0.51 at week 4, respectively. There was a significant group×time interaction for ISI (F3.214, 485.271=24.25, p<0.001, ηp 2=0.138). Only the PMTS group experienced continuous improvement throughout the study; in contrast, the sham group only experienced a modest improvement after the first week of therapy. At the end of the treatment and one week after it, the response of the PMTS group were 69.7% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 58.6%–79.0%), 75.0% (95% CI: 64.1%–83.4%), respectively, which were higher than the response of the sham group (p<0.001). For each of the secondary outcomes, similar group×time interactions were discovered. The effects of the treatment persisted for at least a week. Conclusion PMTS is safe and effective in improving insomnia disorders.

Objective:To compare the outcomes of arthroscopic rotator cuff repair in patients with or without stiffness.Methods:Retrospective analysis was performed on the data of 20 patients (stiffness group) who underwent arthroscopic rotator cuff repair combined with capsular release from January 2017 to November 2019. There are 9 males and 11 females, age 62.2±8.7 years old (range 45 to 80 years old), preoperative duration 5.2±4.3 months (range 1 to 12 months). 54 patients who underwent arthroscopic rotator cuff repair without stiffness were used as the control group. There were 16 males and 38 females, aged 60.9±9.1 years old (range 46 to 81 years old), preoperative duration 8.2±13.0 months (range 1 to 60 months). Pain, function and range of motion (ROM) were recorded at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months post-operatively and last follow-up, and compared with that of pre-operatively. Satisfaction and complication were recorded at the last follow-up. The main outcome measurements included the visual analogue scale (VAS), the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score, the University of California at Los Angeles shoulder rating scale (UCLA), Constant-Murley score, and range of motion.Results:The mean follow-up period was 19.7±4.6 months (12-30 months) in the stiffness group, and 18.6±4.4 months (12-29 months) in non-stiffness group. VAS, ASES score, UCLA score, Constant-Murley score and ROM were significantly improved post-operatively. One month post-operatively, the VAS score was 4.2±1.5 in stiffness group, and 3.4±1.1 in the non-stiff group, and the difference was statistically significant between two groups ( t=2.381, P=0.020). There was no significant difference at 3 months post-operatively. The ASES score, UCLA score and Constant-Murley score were 52.3±10.2, 17.8±4.2 and 51.7±9.7 in stiffness group at 3 months post-operatively, and 57.4±7.4, 21.6±3.8, 63.2±13.5 in non-stiffness group, respectively. The difference was statistically significant ( t=2.363, P=0.021; t=3.713, P<0.001; t=3.484, P<0.001). There was no significant difference at 6 months post-operatively. The postoperative satisfaction of stiffness group and the non-stiffness group were 95.0% and 96.3%, respectively. The difference was not statistically significant ( χ2=0.2511, P=0.802). Conclusion:The results of stiffness group are statistically the same as those in non-stiffness group at last follow-up, although the recovery period is longer in patients who combined with stiffness at the first 6 months.

Objective:To observe the effect of Lafosse I subscapularis lesion repair on the reconstruction of anterosuperior rotator cufftear.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on patients who underwent surgical treatment of the supraspinatus torn combined with Lafosse I subscapularis lesion from January 2016 to October 2017. It was divided into two groups according to the subscapularis lesion was repaired or not. There were 16 cases in non-repaired group, 7 males and 9 females, aged from 48 to 75 years (average, 59.3 years). In this group, supraspinatus repair and subscapularis debridement with no repair were done. There were 13 cases in repaired group, 5 males and 8 females, aged from 45 to 72 years (average, 57.2 years). In this group, both supraspinatus and subscapularis were repaired. MRI was performed at last follow-up. The pain analogue scale (VAS), American Shoulder & Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score, Constant-Murley score and range of motion (ROM) were recorded at the last follow-up. Patients' satisfaction was recorded.Results:Twenty-nine patients had been followed up. Patients in non-repaired group were followed up 15.9±3.9 months (range 10-22 months), and patients in repaired group were followed up 16.9±3.4 months (range 10-21 months). At the last follow-up, VAS, ASES score, and Constant-Murley score of non-repaired group were 1.1±1.1, 88.4±4.0 and 85.9±3.2 respectively. VAS, ASES score, and Constant-Murley score of repaired group were 0.9±1.1, 89.6±2.9 and 87.5±2.6 respectively. VAS ( t=0.342, P=0.735), ASES score ( t=-0.941, P=0.355) and Constant-Murley score ( t=-1.392, P=0.175) showed no significant difference between non-repaired group and repaired group. At the last follow-up, forward flexion of affected shoulder in non-repaired group was 150.3°±17.3°, external rotation was 41.6°±16.0°, and internal rotation was L 2 level; Forward flexion in repaired group was 148.1°±16.3°, external rotation was 43.9°±9.2°, and internal rotation was L 1 level, which were improved significantly compared with those pre-operation. Forward flexion, external rotation, and internal rotation showed no statistically significant difference between non-repaired group and repaired group. 3 patients were found to have rotator cuff re-tear by MR examination. The re-tear rate was 10.34% (3/29). There were 2 cases in non-repaired group and 1 case in repaired group. At the last follow-up, the ASES score of re-tear patients was 85.3±3.1, which was better than preoperative 41.0±5.2 ( t=12.74, P<0.001). Forward flexion 131.67°±5.8° was better than preoperative 81.7°±11.5° ( t=6.708, P<0.001). One re-tear patient (in non-repaired group) received reoperation and got pain relief. The satisfaction of non-repaired group and repaired group were 93.7% and 92.3%, respectively. Conclusion:For type I subscapularis lesion combined with supraspinatus injury, wheter type I subscapularis lesion was repaired or notdidn't affect the repair effect of the anterosuperior rotator cuff tear in short-term follow-up.

The pathogenesis of migraine is complex and its clinical manifestations are diverse, which cause great obstacles to the diagnoses and treatments of migraine patients. In this paper, the literatures about migraine aura in recent years were collected and analyzed, and the different types of migraine aura symptoms were classified and summarized, so as to provide a basis for further study on the mechanism, prevention and treatment of migraine with aura.

Hydroxy amino acids, constituents of chiral pharmaceutical intermediates or precursors, have a variety of unique functions in the research fields of biotechnology and molecular biology, i.e. antifungal, antibacterial, antiviral and anticancer properties. Biosynthesis of hydroxy amino acids is preferred because of its high specificity and selectivity. The hydroxylation of hydrophobic amino acids is catalyzed by hydroxylase, which belongs to the mononuclear non-heme Fe(Ⅱ)/α-ketoglutarate-dependent dioxygenases (Fe/αKGDs). Fe/αKGDs utilize an (Fe(Ⅳ)=O) intermediate to activate diverse oxidative transformations with key biological roles in the process of catalytic reaction. Here, we review the physiological properties and synthesis of hydroxy amino acids, especially for the 4-HIL and hydroxyproline. The catalytic mechanism of Fe/αKGDs is elucidated, and the applications of hydroxy amino acids in industrial engineering are also discussed.

Objective:To observe the clinical effects of targeted percutanous ozone ablation on lumbar disc herniation (LDH) patients with high intensity zone (HIZ) in lumbar disc annulus fibrosus on MRI T2 weighted imaging.Methods:136 LDH patients with HIZ in lumbar disc annulus fibrosus on MRI T2 were divided into two groups according to therapy methods.In group A,75 patients were injected with 2 ～5 mL of 40 μg/mL mixture of O3 and O2 after targeted percutanous puncturing under the guidance of X-Ray machine with C-type arm.In group B,61 patients were treated with conservative treatment.MacNab score criterion and Oswestry disability index (ODI) were used in assessment of the efficacy.Results:Except 24 patients,all the other cases were followed up for 18 ～ 44 months.At the postoperative 1st,2nd,3rd,6th,9th,12th and 18th month,according to MacNab score criterion,the effective rates were respectively 88.00 ％,90.67 ％,93.33 ％,89.39 ％,84.85 ％,78.13 ％ and 73.44 ％ in group A and respectively 68.85 ％,62.30 ％ 55.74 ％,61.82 ％,58.12 ％,54.17 ％ and 47.92 ％ in group B.There were significant differences between two groups at the same time point (P＜0.05).At the postoperative 12th and 18th month,ODI was lower in group A,and there was no significant difference between two time points (P＞0.05).But it was significant different with that preoperatively and in group B at the same time point (P＜0.05).Conclusion:Targeted percutanous ozone ablation is an effective method with stable clinical efficacy in treating LDH with HIZ in lumbar disc annulus fibrosus on MRI T2 weighted imaging.

Objective To evaluate the midterm efficacy of prosthetic disc nucleus ( PDN) replacement for the treatment of lumbar disc herniation. Methods Twenty cases of lumbar disc herniation( including one case of recurrent lumbar disc herniation) were treated with PDN. The twenty cases were followed-up 5.4 ～6.2 years( mean 5.7 years). Functional,and radiographic follow-up examinations,MRI and follow-up records of all patients were reviewed carefully. Results Clinical evaluation at the end of follow-up,there were 10 cases in excellent,6 cases in good,2 cases in fair and 2 cases in poor,and good rate was 80%. One patient accepted the revision operation to remove the PDN because of device migration. One patient accepted the fusion because of adjacent segment disease. The others experienced pain relief, and resumed their normal life and work. The average Oswestry score and VAS get better significantly. Conclusion The PDN was effective in treating patients with lumbar disc herniation. However, the medium term complications of device subsidence should be taken seriously.

Objective To evaluate the surgical strategy of decompression via posterior-anterior approach and anterior fixation in treatment fracture-dislocation of the lower cervical spine with bilateral facet joints dislocation. Methods This study retrospectively reviewed 37 cases of lower cervical spine fracture with bilateral joints dislocation. There were 21 males and 16 females with an average age of 42 years (19-58). Distraction-flexion stage 3(DFS 3) were found in 24 cases and DFS 4 in 13 cases. All the cases were diagnosed by X-ray, CT and MRI and confirmed during the surgery. Decompression via posterior-anterior approach and anterior fixation had been adapted as the surgical strategy. The NASCIS and IMSOP standard were applied to definite the level of cervical spinal cord injury. The ASIA grading was used for evaluation the spinal cord function and the recovery rate. The X-ray and CT were used to observe reduction and bone fusion. Results The mean operative time was (4.5:±0.5) h, and the mean amount of blood loss was 360 ml (200-500 ml). All the incision healed. The two segments fixation was used in 23 cases, 3 segments fixation in 13 cases, and 4 segments fixation in 1 case. The mean follow-up period was 32 months (16-45 months).Postoperative X-ray and CT showed that bone fusion was achieved in all patients within 4-8 months, without graft displacement, or failure of implants. Spinal cord function did not aggravate, and sensory recovery ranged from 7 to 20 levels (averaged, 12.7). The ASIA grade were improved with an average of one grade. Conclusion To treat fracture-dislocation of the lower cervical spine with bilateral facet joints dislocation, the posterlor-anterior approach and anterior fixation/fusion was benefit to preservation the cervical spinal cord function and reconstruction biomechanical stability of the cervical spine.
