    Abstract Abstract In the last three years, the capacity of health care systems and the public health policies of governments worldwide were challenged by the spread of SARS-CoV-2. Mortality due to SARS-CoV-2 mainly resulted from the development of acute lung injury (ALI)/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Moreover, millions of people who survived ALI/ARDS in SARS-CoV-2 infection suffer from multiple lung inflammation-induced complications that lead to disability and even death. The lung-bone axis refers to the relationship between lung inflammatory diseases (COPD, asthma, and cystic fibrosis) and bone diseases, including osteopenia/osteoporosis. Compared to chronic lung diseases, the influence of ALI on the skeleton has not been investigated until now. Therefore, we investigated the effect of ALI on bone phenotypes in mice to elucidate the underlying mechanisms. In vivo bone resorption enhancement and trabecular bone loss were observed in LPS-induced ALI mice. Moreover, chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 12 (CCL12) accumulated in the serum and bone marrow. In vivo global ablation of CCL12 or conditional ablation of CCR2 in bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) inhibited bone resorption and abrogated trabecular bone loss in ALI mice. Furthermore, we provided evidence that CCL12 promoted bone resorption by stimulating RANKL production in BMSCs, and the CCR2/Jak2/STAT4 axis played an essential role in this process. Our study provides information regarding the pathogenesis of ALI and lays the groundwork for future research to identify new targets to treat lung inflammation-induced bone loss.

    Abstract The central physiological role of the bone marrow renders bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) particularly sensitive to aging. With bone aging, BMSCs acquire a differentiation potential bias in favor of adipogenesis over osteogenesis, and the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear. Herein, we investigated the factors underlying age-related changes in the bone marrow and their roles in BMSCs’ differentiation. Antibody array revealed that CC chemokine ligand 3 (CCL3) accumulation occurred in the serum of naturally aged mice along with bone aging phenotypes, including bone loss, bone marrow adiposity, and imbalanced BMSC differentiation. In vivo Ccl3 deletion could rescue these phenotypes in aged mice. CCL3 improved the adipogenic differentiation potential of BMSCs, with a positive feedback loop between CCL3 and C/EBPα. CCL3 activated C/EBPα expression via STAT3, while C/EBPα activated CCL3 expression through direct promoter binding, facilitated by DNA hypomethylation. Moreover, CCL3 inhibited BMSCs’ osteogenic differentiation potential by blocking β-catenin activity mediated by ERK-activated Dickkopf-related protein 1 upregulation. Blocking CCL3 in vivo via neutralizing antibodies ameliorated trabecular bone loss and bone marrow adiposity in aged mice. This study provides insights regarding age-related bone loss and bone marrow adiposity pathogenesis and lays a foundation for the identification of new targets for senile osteoporosis treatment.

    Abstract Objective: To validate whether a residual mass demonstrated on early postoperative MR after percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy (PELD) is indeed an intraoperatively retained annulus fibrosus, and explore the correlation between imaging changes in the residual mass and clinical prognosis of patients.
    Methods: A prospective study of 118 patients were included. During surgery, a contrast medium, Gadopentetate Dimeglumine, was injected around the ruptured annulus fibrosus. The intensity of the T2 signal, the size of the remaining mass (SR), and the cross-sectional area of the spinal canal (SCSA), VAS, and ODI were assessed at preoperative, 1-h (7-day), 6-month, and 12-month postoperative intervals. Based on VAS at 7 days post-surgery, patients were classified into either a non-remission group (Group A, VAS > 3) or a remission group (Group B, VAS ≤ 3).
    Results: Six patients who developed recurrent LDH were excluded. A residual mass was detected on MRI 1 h after surgery in 94.6% (106/112). During one year of follow-up, 90.1% (101/112) of the patients displayed fibrous annulus remodeling, although 68.7% (77/112) still exhibited herniation. Significant differences were found in the ODI between Groups A and B one week after surgery (p < 0.001). However, no significant differences were observed in T2 signal intensity, SR, and SCSA at 1-h, 6-month and 12-month post-surgery (p > 0.05) between the two groups. In a multiple linear regression analysis, early postoperative ODI changes were associated with T2 signal (B = -10.22, sig < 0.05), long-term changes were associated with alterations in SR (B = 5.63, sig < 0.05) and SCSA (B = -0.13, sig < 0.05).
    Conclusion: The residual mass observed in early postoperative MR images after PELD was the retained annulus fibrosus intraoperatively. Short-term changes in clinical symptoms after PELD were linked to T2 signal intensity, while long-term changes were associated with changes in SR and SCSA.

    Abstract Objective: The purpose of this study was to analyze the clinical effect of percutaneous endoscopic medial foraminal discectomy (PEMFD) in the treatment of lumbar disc herniation (LDH).
    Methods: We retrospectively examined and compared clinical data from 39 single-level LDH patients who underwent PEID and 47 who underwent PEMFD. All the patients were diagnosed with single-level LDH and were treated in Xuzhou Central Hospital for single-segmental lumbar disc herniation between June 2017 and December 2019. Collect and count surgical-related indicators, intraoperative bleeding volume and 24-hour postoperative drainage volume, lower extremity numbness Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), the pain VAS and lumbar Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) scores.
    Results: Intraoperative bleeding volume and 24-hour postoperative drainage volume were significantly lower in the PEMFD group (
    Conclusion: PEMFD and PEID have similar short- and medium-term outcomes. However, PEMFD has several advantages: simplicity, lower bleeding volume, and preservation of the LF.

    Abstract Aims: Full-endoscopic discectomy is associated with a high risk of disc reherniation due to the poor mechanical strength of the annulus fibrosus after scar healing. It is technically difficult to place a full-endoscopic annulus fibrosus suture. We designed an annulus fibrosus suture device that can be used to suture annulus defects under microendoscopy. The present study investigated the safety and feasibility of this technology.
    Patients and methods: We retrospectively analyzed the outcomes of patients who underwent surgical treatment for lumbar disc herniation (LDH) from January 2018 to October 2020. We compared 40 patients with LDH treated with full-endoscopic annulus fibrosus suture following lumbar discectomy (LD + AFS group) with 42 patients treated with lumbar discectomy alone (LD group) regarding demographic data, symptoms, and recurrence and reoperation rates. Lumbar MRI and CT were performed 3 and 12 months. A 10-point visual analog scale (VAS) and the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) was used to evaluate pain and the lumbar spine function.
    Results: The cohort comprised 82 patients, including 40 patients in the LD + AFS group and 42 in the LD group. All operations were successfully completed without serious complications. Reherniation occurred in no patients in the LD + AFS group and three patients in the LD group. The VAS scores for lumbar and leg pain and ODI score were significantly improved postoperatively (
    Conclusion: Compared with conventional lumbar discectomy, full-endoscopic annulus fibrosus suture following full-endoscopic lumbar discectomy is a safe and effective minimally invasive technique that reduces the LDH recurrence rate.

    Abstract As a main cause of morbidity in the aged population, osteoarthritis (OA) is characterized by cartilage destruction, synovium inflammation, osteophytes, and subchondral bone sclerosis. To date its etiology remains elusive. Recent data highlight an important role of subchondral bone in the onset and progression of OA. Therefore, elucidating the mechanisms underlying abnormal subchondral bone could be of importance in the treatment of OA. Interleukin-6 is a proinflammatory cytokine involved in many physiological and pathological processes. Although
