ABSTRACT
Objective To systematically evaluate the effects of the implementation of the cognitive behavior intervention program on the rehabilitation of patients with degenerative lumbar spine surgery. Methods 6 Chinese-English databases, The Cochrane library, PubMed, EMBASE, Medline, CNKI, Wanfang, were used for the randomized controlled trial of cognitive behavioral intervention in patients undergoing degenerative lumbar surgery. Two researchers independently retrieved and extracted data and conducted meta-analysis using RevMan5.3 software. Results The meta analysis results of 7 literatures showed that the Oswestry dysfunction index questionnaire [ MD=-9.55, 95% CI(-11.09,-8.02)] in the experimental group, pain VAS score [MD=-1.06, 95% CI(-1.70,-0.41)], fear of sport belief (TSK) [ MD=-0.84, 95% CI (-1.41,-0.28)] were significantly superior to the control group (Z=12.21, 3.23, 2.93, P<0.01). The difference was statistically significant. Conclusion Perioperative cognitive behavior intervention can alleviate preoperative anxiety, effectively improve postoperative self-pain management level and the enthusiasm to participate in rehabilitation exercise, reduce the degree of functional disability, and improve the long-term quality of life after surgery.

ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES: To describe a new approach for the application of polymethylmethacrylate augmentation of bone cement-injectable cannulated pedicle screws. METHODS: Between June 2010 and February 2013, 43 patients with degenerative spinal disease and osteoporosis (T-score <-2.5) underwent lumbar fusion using cement-injectable cannulated pedicle screws. Clinical outcomes were evaluated using a Visual Analog Scale and the Oswestry Disability Index. Patients were given radiographic follow-up examinations after 3, 6, and 12 months and once per year thereafter. RESULTS: All patients were followed for a mean of 15.7±5.6 months (range, 6 to 35 months). The Visual Analog Scale and Oswestry Disability Index scores showed a significant reduction in back pain (p = 0.018) and an improvement in lower extremity function (p = 0.025) in patients who underwent lumbar fusion using the novel screw. Intraoperative cement leakage occurred in four patients, but no neurological complications were observed. Radiological observation indicated no loosening or pulling out of the novel screw, and bone fusion was excellent. CONCLUSIONS: The described polymethylmethacrylate augmentation technique using bone cement-injectable cannulated pedicle screws can reduce pain and improve spinal dysfunction in osteoporotic patients undergoing osteoporotic spine surgery. .

STUDY DESIGN: A retrospective study. OBJECTIVE: To analyze the clinical features and prognosis of intraoperative incidental durotomy during posterior surgery for degenerative lumbar disease. In addition, we tried to evaluate clinical outcome and safety of skillful neglect of pin point dural tear. SUMMARY OF LITERATURE REVIEW : Incidental durotomy is one of the most common complications during the operation of degenerative lumbar disease. It may cause signs and symptoms of cerebrospinal fluid leakage and complications such as meningitis, wound infection, pseudomeningocele and fistula. From the literature review, primary repair is mandatory even in the case of pin point dural tear. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Seven hundred fifty-five patients with degenerative lumbar disease, who were operated posteriorly from Jan. 1990 to Feb. 2002, were reviewed retrospectively. Primary operations were 378 cases of laminectomy without instrumentation and 377 cases of decompression and instrumented fusion. Of these patients, 44 (6 percent) sustained an incidental dural tear. We analyzed the mechanisms of dural tear, intraoperative treatment, postoperative management and clinical outcome. RESULTS: Eight cases (2.1%) of dural tears occurred during discectomy, 36 (9.5%) during instrumentation and fusion, and 12 (20%) during revision surgery. Dural tears were treated intraoperatively by primary repair in 20 cases, by fascial graft in 2 and without repair (skillful neglect) in 22. There were no cases of persistent cerebrospinal fluid leakage or fistula formation, and the symptoms of cerebrospinal fluid leakage were transient. Of 36 patients followed for more than one year, 82% had good or excellent result. CONCLUSION: Incidental durotomy occurred in 5.8 percent of lower back surgery patients, and more frequently in revision surgery. Very small dural tears did not have significant influence on the clinical outcome, whether they were repaired or not. Skillful neglect of pin point dural tear may be a reasonable treatment option.
