Our research examines the learning curves of various minimally invasive lumbar surgeries to determine the benefits and challenges they pose to both surgeons and patients. The advent of microsurgical techniques since the 1960s, including advances in fluoroscopic navigation and intraoperative computed tomography, has significantly shifted spinal surgery from open to minimally invasive methods. This study critically evaluates surgical duration, intraoperative conversions to open surgery, and complications as primary parameters to gauge these learning curves. Through a comprehensive literature search up to March 2024, involving databases PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science, this paper identifies a steep learning curve associated with these surgeries. Despite their proven advantages in reducing recovery time and surgical trauma, these procedures require surgeons to master advanced technology and equipment, which can directly impact patient outcomes. The study underscores the need for well-defined learning curves to facilitate efficient training and enhance surgical proficiency, especially for novice surgeons. Moreover, it addresses the implications of technology on surgical accuracy and the subsequent effects on complication rates, providing insights into the complex dynamics of adopting new surgical innovations in spinal health care.

The functional health and stability of the oral and maxillofacial system is one of the basic goals of orth-odontic treatment.Currently,it is believed that,in general,the condyle is located in the center of the joint fossa when the mandible is in an intercuspal position(ICP)in healthy normal people.At this time,the function of the temporoman-dibular joint(TMJ)is stable.Due to orthodontic tooth movement and subsequent occlusal changes,patients with maloc-clusion may experience related remodeling of the temporomandibular joint,especially changes in the position of the con-dyle.The position of the mandibular condyle is traditionally evaluated using a condylar position indicator.However,this method lacks consistency in obtaining condylar position changes.In recent years,in the clinical application of orthodon-tic treatment,cone beam computed tomography(CBCT)has become the first choice for examination.CBCT can accurate-ly measure the interarticular space and determine changes in condylar position.This article reviews the CBCT assess-ment of condylar position and related research on condylar position changes in patients with malocclusion before and af-ter orthodontic treatment.The literature review results indicate that there are differences in the condylar position of pa-tients with different malocclusions,and the condylar position may also change before and after orthodontic treatment.With a lower radiation dose,CBCT has higher accuracy in evaluating the condylar position in patients with malocclu-sion who undergo orthodontic treatment,thus promoting further study of the mechanism of condylar position changes in patients with malocclusion in the future and providing more accurate and personalized guidance for patient treatment.

OBJECTIVE: To testify the spatial relationship between the subscapularis muscle splitting window and the axillary nerve in modified arthroscopic Latarjet procedure, which could provide anatomical basis for the modification of the subscapularis muscle splitting. METHODS: A total of 29 adult cadaveric shoulder specimens were dissected layer by layer, and the axillary nerve was finally confirmed to walk on the front surface of the subscapularis muscle. Keeping the shoulder joint in a neutral position, the Kirschner wire was passed through the subscapularis muscle from back to front at the 4 : 00 position of the right glenoid circle (7 : 00 position of the left glenoid circle), and the anterior exit point (point A, the point of splitting subscapularis muscle during Latarjet procedure) was recorded. The vertical and horizontal distances between point A and the axillary nerve were measured respectively. RESULTS: In the neutral position of the shoulder joint, the distance between the point A and the axillary nerve was 27.37 (19.80, 34.55) mm in the horizontal plane and 16.67 (12.85, 20.35) mm in the vertical plane. CONCLUSION In the neutral position of the shoulder joint, the possibility of axillary nerve injury will be relatively reduced when radiofrequency is taken from the 4 : 00 position of the right glenoid (7 : 00 position of the left glenoid circle), passing through the subscapularis muscle posteriorly and anteriorly and splitting outward.

Objective:To analyze the risk factors of acute renal injury (AKI) after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in the elderly patients.Methods:A total of 423 patients aged over 60 years who underwent CABG in Linyi People′s Hospital from May 2014 to May 2010 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into AKI group and control group according to whether AKI occurred. The risk factors of AKI were analyzed by multivariate logistic regression.Results:Among the 423 patients, 62 cases(14.7%)developed postoperative acute kidney injury. Compared with the patients without AKI ( n=361), the proportions of patients with hypertension, heart function (NYHA) ≥ Ⅲ, atrial fibrillation and cardiopulmonary bypass were higher in AKI group, the proportion of patients using statins before operation was lower [71.0%(44/62) vs. 50.7%(183/361),χ 2 =8.75, P<0.01;38.77%(24/62) vs. 7.5%(27/361),χ 2 =48.67, P<0.01;16.1%(10/62) vs. 4.4%(16/361),χ 2 =12.55, P<0.01;51.6%(32/62) vs. 21.3%(77/361),χ 2 =25.37, P<0.01;59.7%(37/62) vs. 85.6%(309/361),χ 2=23.87, P<0.01]. Patients in AKI group had higher level of blood uric acid, urea nitrogen and creatinine [353.8(275.5, 462.5)μmol/L vs. 314.5(262.9, 383.6)μmol/L, Z=2.75, P=0.01;5.5(4.3, 8.2)mmol/L vs. 5.1(4.3, 6.4)mmol/L, Z=2.44, P＝0.02; 74.9(58.5, 92.7)μmol/L vs. 67.0(57.1, 76.3)μmol/L, Z=2.90, P=0.01];and longer operation time, more blood loss and blood vessel bridge than those in control group [(403.2±124.1) vs. (350.6±110.2), t =3.41, P<0.01;(4.0±0.9) vs. (3.7±0.8), t=2.83, P=0.01;(3.8±0.7) vs. (3.5±0.8), t=3.58, P<0.01]. The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that preoperative cardiac function (NYHA)≥Ⅲ( OR=8.528,95% CI:3.734-19.477, P<0.01),hypertension( OR=6.455,95% CI:2.605-15.997, P<0.01),extracorporeal circulation( OR＝3.046,95% CI:1.190-7.795, P=0.02),diabetes mellitus( OR=2.294,95% CI:1.047-5.026, P=0.04),elevated serum uric acid level( OR=1.004,95% CI:1.000-1.008, P=0.03)were the independent risk factors for AKI. Statins is a protective factor for postoperative AKI( OR=0.366,95% CI:0.154-0.873, P=0.02). Conclusions:AKI is a common complication after CABG in elderly patients. Cardiac function(NYHA) ≥ Ⅲ,hypertension,extracorporeal circulation,diabetes mellitus,elevated serum uric acid level are risk factors and administration of stating is protective factor for the incidence of acute kidney injury in elderly patients after coronary artery bypass grafting.

Objective: To explore the prenatal dietary and environmental risk factors in children aged 6-16 years with asthma (CWA) comorbid neuropsychiatric disorders. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted from March 2016 to March 2017.CWA aged 6 to 16 years were recruited as the study participants at the Outpatient Asthma Unit of Guizhou Provincial People′s Hospital, China.Informed consent was obtained from their parents, and their parents were invited to participate in the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview of children and adolescents (MINI Kid) to assess the current neuropsychiatric disorders.Meanwhile, the questionnaires information about prenatal diet and environment were collected from their mothers as well.Patients were divided into 2 groups, one group with asthma comorbid neuropsychiatric disorders and the other with asthma only.Single factor analysis and multivariate non-conditional Logistic regression analysis were used to determine the risk factors associated with neuropsychiatric comorbidity. Results: The study consisted of 261 patients (male: 163 cases, female: 98 cases) with asthma, with the age of (11.25±3.12) years, the rate of asthma comorbid neuropsychiatric disorders was 26.4% (69/261 cases). Single factor analysis showed that prenatal tobacco smoke exposure, winter coal combustion, food additives had statistically significant differences between the 2 group (χ²=7.385, 3.993, 4.529, all P<0.05), the other factors were not significantly different between two groups (all P>0.05); multivariate analysis indicated that prenatal tobacco smoke exposure was the independent risk factor for neuropsychiatric comorbidity in CWA (OR=5.098, 95%CI: 1.089-23.871, P=0.039). Conclusions The result revealed that the prenatal tobacco smoke exposure is the independent risk factor for neuropsychiatric comorbidity in CWA, need to enhance the propaganda and education of negative effects for parents should be enhanced during pregnancy to diminish the prevalence.

Objective To investigate the differences in expression of Mohawk (MKX) transcription factors and collagen of types Ⅰ and Ⅲ in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) gratis between 2 remodeling outcomes under arthroscopy.Methods Enrolled for this study were 17 patients who had undergone arthroscopic single-bundle ACL reconstruction with autogenous hamstring tendons and secondary arthroscopic exploration 48 to 131 months (average,83.1 months) after removal of tibial internal fixator at Department of Sports Medicine,The First Affiliated Hospital to Shenzhen University from March 2017 to December 2017.They were divided into a good remodeling group (11 cases) and a fair remodeling group (6 cases) according to the graft quality under arthroscopy (synovial and vascular coverage,and apparent tension,thickness and retear of the grafts).During the secondary arthroscopic procedures,biopsy of the central ACL grafts was performed.Moreover,normal ACL tissues were harvested from 8 contemporary controls of ＜ 60 years old who underwent total knee replacement.Immunohistochemical assay and quantificational real-time polymerase chain reaction were conducted to detect the expression of transcription factors and collagen of types Ⅰ and Ⅲ in all the samples.Results In the samples from good remodeling and control groups,there were abundant well-arranged collagen fibers of types Ⅰ and Ⅲ and MKX-positive cells;in the fair remolding group,the collagen fibers of types Ⅰ and Ⅲ and MKX-positive cells were much decreased in number and the fibers were not well arranged.The former 2 groups scored in immunohistochemical assay significantly higher than the latter one (P ＜ 0.05).qRT-PCR showed that the expression levels of MKX gene (0.44 ± 0.30),COL1A1 gene (0.52 ± 0.27) and COL3A1 gene (0.60 ± 0.22) in the fair remolding group were significantly lower than in the control group (1.00 ± 0.00,1.00 ± 0.00 and 1.00 ± 0.00) and than in the good remolding group (0.97 ± 0.67,0.99 ±0.38 and 1.00 ± 0.35) (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Good remodeling ACL grafts with histological maturation under arthroscopy are more similar to normal ACL than fair remodeling ACL grafts in expression of MKX transcription factors and collagen of types Ⅰ and Ⅲ.
