OBJECTIVE@#To determine whether C7 angles (C7 slope, C7S) could replace T1 angles (T1 slope, T1S) by correlation analysis of T1S and C7S.@*METHODS@#A total of 442 patients from July 2015 to July 2020 in outpatient and inpatient department were enrolled retrospectively, and 259 patients who could identify the upper endplate of T1 were screened out . Of them, there were 145 males and 114 females, aged from 20 to 83 years old with an average of (58.6±11.2) years, including 163 patients with cervical spine surgery and 96 non-surgical patients. Patients were stratified by sex, age, cervical kyphosis, cervical alignment imbalance, and cervical spine surgery. These 259 patients included 145 cases in the male group, 114 cases in the female group;76 cases in the youth group (<40 years old), 109 cases in the middle-aged group (40 to 60 years old), and 74 cases in the elderly group(>60 years old); 92 cases in the cervical kyphosis group, 167 cases in the non-kyphosis group;51 cases in the cervical sequence imbalance group, 208 cases in the non-imbalance group;163 cases in the cervical surgery group, 96 cases in the non-operation group. The correlations of C7S and T1S in various modalities groups were analyzed.@*RESULTS@#Of 442 patients, the recognition rate of upper endplate of T1 was 58.6%(259/442), and that of C7 was 90.7%. The mean T1S and C7S of the 259 patients were (24.5±8.0)° [(25.9±7.7)° in the male group and (23.7±6.9)° in the female group] and (20.8±7.3)° [(22.5±7.5)° in the male group and(19.7±5.8)° in the female group], respectively. The total correlation coefficient between C7S and T1S was r=0.89, R2=0.79, and the linear regression equation was T1S=0.91×C7S+4.35. In the above general information and the grouping of deformity factors, T1S was highly correlated with C7S(r value 0.85 to 0.92, P<0.05).@*CONCLUSION@#There is a high correlation between T1S and C7S in different factor groups. For cases where T1S cannot be measured, C7S can be used to provide guidance and reference for evaluating the sagittal balance of the spine, analyzing the condition, and formulating surgical plans.

Novel protein C7orf42 promotes rat hepatocyte BRL-3A proliferation / 解剖学报

Objective: To explore the effect of C7orf42 on cell proliferation of rat hepatocyte line BRL-3A in vitro. Methods: The expression of C7orf42 was knocked down by siRNA, and MTT and EdU assay were used to discover the effect of C7orf42 on cell proliferation at 48 hours after transfection. Flow cytometry was used to observe the effect of cell cycle progression. Real-tme PCR and Western blotting were used to detect the changes in the expression of cell proliferation-associated gene. Results: MTT results showed that the cell viability of the interference group (C7BRL-siR3) was significantly lower than that of the negative control group (NC) at 48 hours after transfection (P < 0. 05). Meanwhile, the percentage of EdU-labeling cells was also significantly decreased (P < 0. 05). At the same time, the flow cytometry results showed that the number of cells in division phase (S + G2/M) of the interference group was significantly reduced in parallel (P < 0. 05). Further, the interference group down-regulated the expression levels of cell proliferation-related genes and proteins of JUN, MYC, CCND1 and CCNA2. Conclusion: C7orf42 may promote cell proliferation via regulating the expression of JUN, MYC, CCND1 and CCNA2 in rat hepatocyte line BRL-3A.

Prediction of early bacterial infection after liver transplantation by donor complement factor component 7 polymorphism / 中华器官移植杂志

Objective To investigate the association between donor complement factor component 7 (C7) rs6876739 gene polymorphisms and risk of early bacterial infection following orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT).Methods A total of 113 patients who had undergone OLT in Shanghai General Hospital between July 2007 and January 2011 were included.A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP),donor C7 rs6876739 was genotyped and analyzed together with clinical data.Results We demortstrated that donor C7 rs6876739 CC genotype had higher risk of early bacterial infection than TT genotype following OLT (55.6％ vs.26.5％,P =0.021).The multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that gender (P =0.018),biliary complications (P =0.018),ICU stay after LT (P＜0.001) and donor C7 rs6876739 genotype (P =0.001) were identified as independent factors of early bacterial infection.Conclusion Donor C7 rs6876739 genotype polymorphism is associated with early bacterial infection following OLT and may be a new marker of risk for the development of potentially serious bacterial infection after liver transplantation.

Laminoplasty and Recapping Procedure of C7 for Intradural Tumor Excision: A Case Report

STUDY DESIGN: A case report. OBJECTIVES: To report laminoplasty and recapping procedure of C7 for intradural tumor excision SUMMARY OF LITERATURE REVIEW: Various surgical techniques have been attempted to decrease postoperative axial neck pain. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Kurokawa laminoplasty of C7 was performed. Autogenous bone graft material was harvested from partial T1 laminectomy. Intradural tumor was removed without any complications. Four mini plates were applied at hinge sites of laminoplasty and one lag screw was fixed at the longitudinally splitted lamina of C7. RESULTS: Early range of motion without braces was possible following laminoplasty and recapping procedure. Solid union was achieved at the hinge sites of laminoplasty at the 3-month postoperative follow-up. No instability was observed at the 2-year postoperative followup. The visual analog scale of axial neck pain at the 2-year postoperative follow-up was 2. CONCLUSIONS: Laminoplasty and recapping procedure might be a good option for intradural tumor excision to facilitate early range of motion and decrease postoperative axial neck pain.

Feasibility of Bilateral Crossing C7 Intralaminar Screws: A Cadaveric Study

OBJECTIVE: When the pedicle screw insertion technique is failed or not applicable, C7 intralaminar screw insertion method has been used as an alternative or salvage fixation method recently. However, profound understanding of anatomy is required for safe application of the bilaterally crossing laminar screw at C7 in clinic. In this cadaveric study, we evaluated the anatomic feasibility of the bilateral crossing intralaminar screw insertion and especially focused on determination of proper screw entry point. METHODS: The C7 vertebrae from 18 adult specimens were studied. Morphometric measurements of the mid-laminar height, the minimum laminar thickness, the maximal screw length, and spino-laminar angle were performed and cross-sectioned vertically at the screw entry point (spino-laminar junction). The sectioned surface was equally divided into 3 parts and maximal thickness and surface area of the parts were measured. All measurements were obtained bilaterally. RESULTS: The mean mid-laminar height was 13.7 mm, mean minimal laminar thickness was 6.6 mm, mean maximal screw length was 24.6 mm, and mean spinolaminar angle was 50.8+/-4.7degrees. Based on the measured laminar thickness, the feasibility of 3.5 mm diameter intralaminar screw application was 83.3% (30 sides laminae out of total 36) when assuming a tolerance of 1 mm on each side. Cross-sectional measurement results showed that the mean maximal thickness of upper, middle, and lower thirds was 5.0 mm, 7.5 mm, and 7.3 mm, respectively, and mean surface area for each part was 21.2 mm2, 46.8 mm2, and 34.7 mm2, respectively. Fourteen (38.9%) sides of laminae would be feasible for 3.5 mm intralaminar screw insertion when upper thirds of C7 spino-laminar junction is the screw entry point. In case of middle and lower thirds of C7 spino-laminar junction, 32 (88.9%) and 28 (77.8%) sides of laminae were feasible for 3.5 mm screw insertion, respectively. CONCLUSION: The vertical cross-sectioned area of middle thirds at C7 spinolaminar junction was the largest area and 3.5 mm screw can be accommodated with 77.8% of feasibility when lower thirds were the screw entry point. Thus, selection of middle and lower thirds for each side of screw entry point in spino-laminar junction would be the safest way to place bilateral crossing laminar screw within the entire lamina. This anatomic study result will help surgeons to place the screw safely and accurately.

Frequency and Quantity of the C7 Contribution to the Ulnar Nerve / 체질인류학회지

Many anatomists and clinicians who investigate the peripheral nerve concern about the composition of the spinal roots of each terminal nerve of the brachial plexus. From this viewpoint, the spinal root composition of the ulnar nerve is still unclear. Several anatomy textbooks describe that the ulnar nerve is composed of the ventral rami of the C8, T1 and often C7. There is no literature regarding the frequency and contribution quantity of C7 to the ulnar nerve. The purpose of present study was to determine frequency and contribution quantity of the C7 to the ulnar nerve. Fifty cadavers of brachial plexus were obtained from cadavers of Korean adults. The brachial plexus containing the ulnar nerve were extracted from the axilla and the extracted samples were immersed in Guanidine-HCl (0.2 M) for 2 weeks to soften the connective tissue around the nerve bundles. C7 was contributed to the ulnar nerve in all sides (100%). The numbers of the myelinated axons of C7 participating to the ulnar nerve was 1,452+/-429 (mean+/-S.D.). Thus the C7 can be considered as always participating component of the ulnar nerve, not often participation, although numbers of the myelinated axons of C7 was lesser than those of the C8, but similar to those of the T1. The results of the study provide a reference for accurate diagnosis and treatment regarding ulnar nerve injury due to various accidents.

Applied microanatomical study of availible length of C7 nerve / 中华显微外科杂志

Objective To relatively prolong the length of C7 nerve through microanatomical study and carry out direct anastomosis between the end of avulsed nerve and contralateral C7. Methods Fifteen cadaveric specimens and 30 sides of the adult brachial plexus was dissected. The C7 nerve was confirmed and measured by using electric vernier caliper. Parameters as follow: the length of C7 nerve from root to trunk; the length of C7 nerve from root to division(anterior and posterior division); transverse and longitudinal diameter of C7 nerve in root site, combination site between trunk and division, end site of anterior and posterior division. After dissected the nerve adventitia of binding site between division and cord and cut the distal end of anterior and posterior division, the length of C7 nerve from root to division (anterior and posterior division)was measured again. Results The measured result of the length C7 nerve: the length of C7 from root to trunk: (45.87 ± 10.43)mm; Before micro-dissected, the length of C7 from root to anterior division: (61.14 ±13.44)mm; the length of C7 from root to posterior division: (54.63 ± 11.35)mm after micro-dissected, the length of C7 from root to anterior division: (74.67±12.86)mm; the length of C7 from root to posterior division:(68.73± 11.86)mm; the prolonged length of anterior division: (13.15± 4.26)mm; the prolonged length of posterior division: (14.21 ± 6.98)mm. Conclusion Through dessecting the adventitia of binding site of division (anterior and posterior division) and cord of C7 nerve. The length of C7 nerve can be relatively prolonged.

Axial Neck Pain after Cervical Laminoplasty

OBJECTIVE: It has been demonstrated that cervical laminoplasty is an effective and safe method of treating multi-level cervical spondylotic myelopathy and ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament. However, recent reports have suggested that axial neck pain is frequently encountered after cervical laminoplasty. The aim of the present study was to determine clinical significance of the C7 spinous process on axial neck pain after cervical laminoplasty. METHODS: A total of 31 consecutive patients that underwent cervical laminoplasty between March 2002 and December 2008 were reviewed. The authors evaluated and compared axial neck pain and lordotic angle in patients that underwent C7 spinous process preserving surgery (group 1, n = 16) and in patients in which the C7 spinous process was sacrificed (group 2, n = 15). RESULTS: Severe or moderate early axial pain occurred in 56.2% of patients in group 1 and in 86.6% in group 2. Severe or moderate late axial pain occurred in 12.5% in group 1 and in 73.3% in group 2. Eighty-Six percent of patients in group 2 and 43% in group 1 experienced aggravation of their axial neck pain during the early postoperative period. Aggravation of axial neck pain during early postoperative period was less common in group 1 but not statistically significant (p = 0.073). Sixty-six percent of patients in group 2 and 12% in group 1 had aggravated axial neck pain at late postoperative period and aggravation of late axial neck pain was significantly less common in group 1 (p = 0.002). CONCLUSION: The present study demonstrates that C7 spinous process preserving laminoplasty decreases the incidence of aggravated axial neck pain after cervical laminoplasty.

C7 Posterior Fixation Using Intralaminar Screws : Early Clinical and Radiographic Outcome

OBJECTIVE: The use of segmental instrumentation technique using pedicle screw has been increasingly popular in recent years owing to its biomechanical stability. Recently, intralaminar screws have been used as a potentially safer alternative to traditional fusion constructs involving fixation of C2 and the cervicothoracic junction including C7. However, to date, there have been few clinical series of C7 laminar screw fixation in the literature. Thus, the purpose of this study is to report our clinical experiences using C7 laminar screw and the early clinical outcome of this rather new fixation technique. METHODS: Thirteen patients underwent C7 intralaminar fixation to treat lesions from trauma or degenerative disease. Seventeen intralaminar screws were placed at C7. The patients were assessed both clinically and radiographically with postoperative computed tomographic scans. RESULTS: There was no violation of the screw into the spinal canal during the procedure and no neurological worsening or vascular injury from screw placement. The mean clinical and radiographic follow up was about 19 months, at which time there were no cases of screw pull-out, screw fracture or non-union. Complications included two cases of dorsal breech of intralaminar screw and one case of postoperative infection. CONCLUSION: Intralaminar screws can be potentially safe alternative technique for C7 fixation. Even though this technique cannot be used in the cases of C7 laminar fracture, large margin of safety and the ease of screw placement create a niche for this technique in the armamentarium of spine surgeons.

Objective To find the optimal route of eontralateral C7 nerve transfer for brachial plexus avulsion injuries through autopsy. Methods The bilateral brachial plexus were exposed on 30 sides of 15 cadaverie specimens of adult. The C7 nerve root was sectioned at the junction site of trunk and division, and then dissected proximally to the foramina. The max length of anterior and posterior division of C7 was measured. The distance between the roof of C7 and the upper trunk and the lower trunk at the affected side through vertebral body route, prespinal route and a subcutaneous tunnel on the anterior surface of the neck was measured. Results The max length of anterior and posterior division of C7 was (7.67±1.06) cm and (7.79±1.36) cm respectively. The distance between the roof of C7 and the upper trunk at the affected side through vertebral body route, prespinal route and a subcutaneous tunnel on the anterior surface of the neck was (6.97±0.56) cm and (10.04±0.94) cm and (16.56±1.24) cm respectively, there were statistical significance among them (P < 0.01). The distance between the roof of C7 and the lower trunk at the affected side through vertebral body route and prespinal route and a subcutaneous tunnel on the anterior surface of the neck was (6.82±0.92) cm、(9.91±0. 83) cm and (17.64±0.97) cm, with a significant difference (P<0.01). Conclusion The best way of contralateral C7 nerve transfer for the treatment of brachial plexus injury was through the vertebral body route from the point of anatomy.

Objective To explore the clinical design and therapeutic effect of total root avulsion of brachial plexus by contralateral C_7 nerve transfer for directly repairing C_8T_1 via prespinal route combined with functioning gracilis transplantation. Methods Twelve cases of total roots avulsion of brachial plexus were operated at 1 month to 3 months after injury.The contralateral C_7 nerve was successfully transferred to directly repair avulsed C_8T_1 roots or lower trunk via prespinal route.At 2nd operation stage after 4 to 8 months,the functioning gracills transplantation was preformed to reconstruct the elbow flexion and fingers extension. Results Follow-ups were carried out in all 12 cases who had been discharged for 9 to 36 months after the first operation.The positive Tinel signs of ulnar or median nerves were located in the proximal arm at 3 months after 1st operation,in the elbow or proximal forarm at 6 months,and in the wrist or distal forarm at 9 months.At 12 months the positive Tinel signs were found in the plam or fingers in 9 cases.The contraction of sternocostal part of pectoralis major was found at 9 mooths in 7 cases.There were the restoration of the taction-pain sensation in the palm, finger, and medial side of forearm and the contraction of flexor carpi ulnaris and flexor digitorum(M_3)in 5 cases at 15 to 18 months after 1st operation.In 7 patients the flexion of elbow and extension of fingers and thumb restored at 9 to 12 months after the 2nd operation.Their elbow flexion was 90°-120°and M_3(Highet's method),and their finger and thumb extension M_3. Conclusion There is the possibility of the operative design and clinical application of total root avulsion of brachial plexus by contralateral C_7 nerve transfer for directly repairing C_8T_1 via prespinal route combined with functioning gracilis transplantation.There are not only the restoration of sensation and flexion of wrist and fingers,but also the restoration of elbow flexion and fingers extension.

A Korean familial case of hereditary complement 7 deficiency / 소아과

Meningococcal infections can be associated with abnormalities of the complement system, which contains 5 terminal complement proteins. Furthermore, deficiencies in 1 of these 5, complement component 7 (C7), leads to the loss of complement lytic function, and affected patients show increased susceptibility to recurrent meningococcal meningitis and systemic Neisseria gonorrhoeae infection. In September 2003, an 11-year-old female patient presented at our outpatient department with high fever, lower leg pain, headache, and petechiaes. She rapidly progressed to coma but later achieved full recovery due to prompt treatment. Her final diagnosis was meningococcal sepsis and arthritis. Her elder brother also had a similar bacterial meningoencephalitis history, which encouraged us to perform analyses for complement component and gene mutations. Resultantly, both the brother and sister were found to have the same mutation in the C7 gene. Subsequently, vaccinations of the meningococcal vaccine meningococcal vaccine (Menomune(R)) were administered. However, in September 2006, the brother expired due to acute micrococcus meningoencephalitis. At present, the 16-year-old female patient is healthy. Here, we report a Korean family with a hereditary C7 deficiency with susceptibility to meningococcal infections due to C7 gene mutation.

G7nerve double-neurotization in the treatment of total brachial plexus avulsion: An experimental study / 中华显微外科杂志

Objective To test the feasibility of rescuing 2 impaired nerves by C7 nerve transfer (C7 nerve double-neurotization). Methods Using adult male Sprague-Dawley rats(200 - 250 g),a C7 nerve double-neurotization model was established. At postoperative 2, 4, 6, 8, 12th weeks the recovery underwent muscle-nerve morpholosical, histological examinations and was compared with C7 single neurotization, Results Most of the parameters in double neurotization group approximated to those in the single neurotization groups and normal control group at the end of observation period, thus indicating C7 nerve contains enough nerve fibers to provide sufficient regeneration for 2 recipient nerves. Conclusion Compared to single neurotization, C7 nerve double-neurotization has the advantage of restoring 2 nerve function at same time. This implicates its future clinical application in the treatment of severe brachial plexus avulsion injuries.

Two Novel Mutations in the C7 gene in a Korean Patient with Complement C7 Deficiency

Complement C7 deficiency is an autosomal recessive disorder well known to be associated with increased susceptibility to meningococcal infection and has mostly been reported in Caucasians. In the Korean population, no case of C7 deficiency has been reported to date. Recently we experienced an 11-yr-old girl with meningococcal meningitis who was diagnosed as having C7 deficiency based upon the undetectable serum C7 protein on radial immunodiffusion and the undetectable serum total and C7 hemolytic activities. To identify the genetic basis of the C7 deficiency of the patient, we performed a mutation analysis for the C7 gene and found two novel mutations; a point mutation at the 3'splice acceptor site of intron 4 (c.281-1G>T) and a large deletion mutation encompassing almost the whole C7 gene from exon 1 to exon 17 (c.1-?_2350+?del). A haplotype analysis showed that the large deletion mutation was inherited from the patient's father. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first confirmed case of C7 deficiency in Korea.

Clinical results of different ways of neurotization to radial nerve / 中华创伤杂志

Objective To compare the result differences of different dynamic nerves transferring to different segments of the radial nerve. Methods From 1997 to 2000, different ways of intercostal nerves or contralataral C 7 transfering to different segments of the radial nerves were carried out in 36 cases with total avulsed brachial plexus injuries that were followed up for average 42.39 months. Four-fold table was selected to statistically calculate the effective rate of muscle strength recovery. Results The total effective rate was 56% (20/36). The effective rate of the functional rehabilitation of elbow extension was 5/8 in the group with neurotization to radial nerve trunk and 4/4 in the group with neurotization to branches innervating the triceps brachii muscle of radial nerve. The highest effective rate up to 75% (9/12) of the functional rehabilitation of wrist and digit extension belonged to the group with contralateral C 7 transferring to the radial nerve segment in the humeral spiral groove where branches innervating the triceps brachii muscle had already diverged. Conclusions The way of neurotization to radial nerve trunk and to branches innervating the triceps brachii muscle of the radial nerve can win good functional rehabilitation of elbow extension. Contralataral C 7 transfering to the radial nerve segment in the humeral spiral groove ranks the best way for function recovery of the wrist extension. Age below 30 years and operation interval less than 12 months are helpful for functional rehabilitation of the radial nerve.
