ABSTRACT
Objective:To anatomically study the external bone graft axis from the pedicle (canal) to the endplate designed for compression healing fractures of the anterior vertebral column in freshly dried vertebral specimens from T10 to L5.Methods:Eight groups of freshly dried vertebral specimens from T10 to L5 (128 vertebral bodies and 256 lateral pedicles and lateral vertebral bodies) were used to observe the vertebral axis of the pedicle (canal), the internal sagittal diameter of the pedicle (canal), and the sagittal diameter of the vertebral body, and the position of vertebral pedicle (canal) axis (f-angle) before design of the external bone graft axis from the pedicle (canal) to the endplate of the compression healing vertebral body. (1) The internal sagittal diameter of the pedicle (canal) was divided into 3 segments. The lateral segment of the vertebral plate was wide, the middle segment of the isthmus of the vertebral arch was narrow and the medial segment of the terminal segment of the vertebral arch was wide. The narrow isthmus of the middle arch (canal) was used as a transposition axis in the design of the axis of the bone graft from the vertebral arch (canal) to the endplate of the compression healing vertebral body. (2) The axis of the vertebral body of the pedicle (canal) was located medial to the transposition axis, parallel to the f-angle at 0° as described by Saillant G. (3) The compression degree of the vertebral body was measured at the outer edge of the lateral anterior column, with Ⅰ° for less than 1/4 compression of the anterior column of the vertebral body, Ⅱ° for 1/4 to 2/4, Ⅲ° for 2/4 to 3/4 and Ⅳ° for more than 3/4 of the compression. (4) The f-angle described by Salliant G at the entry end which was corresponding to the endplate of the compression healing vertebral body was used to design the pedicle (canal) to the outer implant axis of the endplate of the compression healing vertebral body.Results:At an f-angle of 8° to 10°, the bone graft axis was aligned with the Ⅱ° compression healing vertebral endplate on the superior endplate side of the vertebral body axis of the arch; at an f-angle of 16° to 18°, the bone graft axis corresponded to the superior endplate of the Ⅰ° compression healing vertebral body. At an f-angle of -10°~-8°, the bone graft axis corresponded to the Ⅲ° compression healing vertebral endplate on the inferior endplate side of the vertebral body axis of the arch; at an f-angle of -18°~-16°, the bone graft axis corresponded to the inferior endplate of the Ⅳ° compression healing vertebral body.Conclusions:The external axis from the pedicle (canal) to the endplate designed in the present anatomic study for compression healing fractures of the anterior vertebral column allows for safe and easy granular bone implantation due to the toughness of the cortical bone around the arch root (canal) in addition to the precise design of the bone graft axis from the pedicle to the endplate from T10 to L5.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the relationship between the ratio of serum creatinine and cystatin C (Creatinine/Cystatin C, Cr/CysC) and the risk of fracture in diabetic patients, and to provide a basis for evaluating the risk of fracture in diabetic patients.Methods:Prospectively selected 216 patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) who were treated in our hospital from Apr. 2019 to Apr. 2021. Among them, they were divided into fracture group (56 cases) and non-fracture group (160 cases) according to whether they were combined with fractures.Collected two groups of baseline data, general clinical data, laboratory, imaging data, use sarcosine oxidase method to detect serum creatinine (Cr) content, use immunoturbidimetric method to determine serum cystatin C (CysC) level, and calculate The ratio of the two, After matching the propensity scores for age, gender, body mass index, diabetes course, etc., multi-factor Logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the influencing factors of fracture risk in diabetic patients, and the restrictive cubic spline was used to evaluate the relationship between Cr/CysC and diabetic fracture risk. Relationship.Results:After the two groups were matched by propensity scores, 42 groups were successfully matched, and there was no statistically significant difference in baseline data after matching ( P>0.05) ; Compared with the fracture group, the AGEs (129.13±37.51) ng/mL andALP (97.50±23.80) U/L in the fracture group were higher than those in the non-fracture group (108.41±29.33) ng/mL, (84.35±25.66) U/L higher; Cr/CysC (0.87±0.15) , limb skeletal muscle mass (19.58±3.99) kg were higher than those in the non-fracture group (0.99±0.21) , (21.81±4.38) kg low ( P<0.05) ;Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the skeletal muscle mass of extremities ( OR=0.865, 95% CI0.761~0.985) and Cr/CysC ( OR=0.048, 95% CI0.002~0.933) were protective factors for diabetes complicated with fractures; ALP ( OR=1.023, 95% CI1.002~1.044) , AGEs ( OR=1.022, 95% CI1.006~1.039) risk factors for diabetes and fracture (all P<0.05) ,Restricted cubic spline showed a significant non-linear relationship between Cr/CysC and diabetic fractures ( P<0.05) . Conclusion:Cr/CysC is related to the occurrence of fractures in diabetic patients and can be used as a potential predictor of the occurrence of diabetic fractures.

ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the clinical outcome of artificial cervical disc arthroplasty combined with anchoring cervical intervertebral fusion cage (ACIFC) in the treatment of multilevel cervical disc herniation. Methods From October 2011 to September 2013, 0.26 patients with multilevel cervical disc herniation underwent artificial cervical disc arthroplasty combined with ACIFC, there were 10 male and 16 female with age from 32 to 60 years (mean 46.8 years). Two segment were involved in 15 patients, three segment were involved in 11 patients. Neck disability index (NDI) and Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score were used to evaluate neurofunctional recovery preoperatively and postoperatively. The postoperative stabilization and the range of motion (ROM) of implanted disc and the fusion of cage were observed on dynamic radiograph. Results The average operation time and amount of bleeding were (95±15) min and (100±20) ml respectively. The average postoperative follow-up was 15 months(range 6-20 months). At the end of follow up,the scores of JOA was increased and the scores of NDI was decreased:(9.08±1.72) scores vs. (14.88±1.37) scores, (40.31±4.97) scores vs. (25.23±4.10) scores,there had significant differences (P0.05). Solid fusion was achieved in all levels brought by cage.There was no cage subsidence or displacement. All artificial cervical disc achieved definite stabilization, no intraoperative and postoperative complication was noted. Conclusions Artificial cervical disc arthroplasty combined with ACIFC provides a feasible way for the treatment of multilevel cervical disc herniation. The definite stabilization and maintained ROM can reduce the fusion segments and avoid the increased stress of adjacent segment which can ensure a good preliminary clinical outcome.
