    Abstract Background: Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion surgery (ACDF) is a common technique in treating degenerative cervical spondylosis. This study is to evaluate the changes of cervical muscles after ACDF and analyze the correlation between related muscle changes and clinical efficacy.
    Methods: Sixty-five postoperative patients (single-level ACDF) with cervical spondylotic myelopathy from January 2013 to December 2022 were analyzed. The measured parameters include: the axial section of longus colli cross-sectional area (AxCSA), the volume of cervical longus, the ratio of long and short diameter line (RLS), the cervical extensor cross-sectional area (CESA), the vertebral body area (VBA), and the CESA/VBA. The visual analog scale (VAS), modified Japanese Orthopedic Association score (mJOA), and neck disability index (NDI) were evaluated. The changes in muscle morphology were analyzed, and the correlation analysis was conducted between morphological changes and function scores.
    Results: The postoperative AxCSA of surgical segment (3rd month, 12th month, and the last follow-up) was decreased compared to preoperative (141.62 ± 19.78), and the differences were significant (P < 0.05). The corresponding data reduced to (119.42 ± 20.08) mm
    Conclusion: The volume of cervical longus decreased and its morphology changed after ACDF surgery. The mainly affected muscle was the cervical longus closing to the surgical segment. Negative correlation was found between the postoperative volume of cervical longus and function scores (VAS and NDI).

    Abstract Amino acids hold significant importance in the diagnosis and treatment of various chronic diseases. Accurate solid-liquid equilibrium data are the key to drug synthesis and chemical production. However, the studies on the solid-liquid equilibrium of amino acids remain limited. In this work, the solid-liquid equilibrium of the L-tryptophan + L-phenylalanine + water ternary system under atmospheric pressure at temperatures of 278.15 K-318.15 K was explored

    Abstract Osteoarthritis (OA) is a prevalent degenerative condition commonly observed in the elderly, leading to consequential disability. Despite notable advancements made in clinical strategies for OA, its pathogenesis remains uncertain. The intricate association between OA and metabolic processes has yet to receive comprehensive exploration. In our investigation, we leveraged public databases and applied machine learning algorithms, including WGCNA, LASSO, RF, immune infiltration analysis, and pathway enrichment analysis, to scrutinize the role of lipid metabolism-associated genes (LAGs) in the OA. Our findings identified three distinct biomarkers, and evaluated their expression to assess their diagnostic value in the OA patients. The exploration of immune infiltration in these patients revealed an intricate relationship between immune cells and the identified biomarkers. In addition,

    Abstract Objective: This study aims to compare the clinical effects and imaging data of patients who underwent endoscopic transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (Endo-TLIF) with those who received unilateral biportal endoscopic lumbar interbody fusion (ULIF).
    Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 69 patients presenting with typical intermittent claudication and signs and symptoms indicative of unilateral lower extremity nerve root compression, meeting inclusion criteria between April 2022 and June 2022. Among the cohort, 35 patients underwent ULIF group, while 34 patients underwent Endo-TLIF group. We compared perioperative parameters, including intraoperative blood loss, duration of hospital stay, and operation time between the two groups. Pre-operative and post-operative changes in the height and cross-sectional area of the target intervertebral space were also compared between the groups. Finally, we evaluated bone graft size and interbody fusion rates at 6 and 12 months post-surgery using the Brantigan scoring system.
    Results: The ULIF group had significantly shorter operative times compared to the Endo-TLIF group (P < 0.05). Conversely, the Endo-TLIF group exhibited significantly shorter hospital stays compared to the ULIF group (P < 0.05). However, there were no significant differences in intraoperative bleeding between the two groups (P > 0.05). Furthermore, both groups exhibited postoperative increases in vertebral canal volume compared to baseline (P < 0.05), with no significant difference in the change in the cross-sectional area of the target intervertebral space between the two surgical methods (P > 0.05). Interbody fusion rates were comparable between the two groups at both 6 and 12 months after surgery (P > 0.05). Lastly, the ULIF group had a significantly larger area of bone graft than the Endo-TLIF group (P < 0.05).
    Conclusion: In summary, the ULIF technique, as a novel spinal endoscopy approach, is a safer and more effective minimally invasive surgical method for addressing lumbar spinal stenosis and intervertebral disc herniation in patients. Both surgical methods have their own advantages and drawbacks. With the development of technology and related instruments, the limitations of both techniques can be mitigated for to a certain extent, and they can be applied by more doctors in diverse medical fields in the future.

    Abstract Objective: To compare the effectiveness between unilateral biportal endoscopic lumbar interbody fusion (ULIF) and endoscopic transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (Endo-TLIF) in treatment of lumbar spinal stenosis combined with intervertebral disc herniation.
    Methods: A clinical data of 64 patients with lumbar spinal stenosis and intervertebral disc herniation, who were admitted between April 2020 and November 2021 and met the selection criteria, was retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 30 patients were treated with ULIF (ULIF group) and 34 patients with Endo-TLIF (Endo-TLIF group). There was no significant difference in baseline data such as gender, age, disease duration, lesion segment, preoperative visual analogue scale (VAS) score of low back pain and leg pain, Oswestry disability index (ODI), spinal canal area, and intervertebral space height between the two groups (
    Results: Compared with the Endo-TLIF group, the ULIF group had shorter operation time, but had more intraoperative blood loss and longer hospital stays, with significant differences (
    Conclusion: For the patients with lumbar spinal stenosis combined with intervertebral disc herniation, ULIF not only achieves similar effectiveness as Endo-TLIF, but also has advantages such as higher decompression efficiency, flexible surgical instrument operation, more thorough intraoperative intervertebral space management, and shorter operation time.
