Dietary fiber may benefit chondrocyte activity maintenance.

The understanding of the link between the gut-bone axis is growing yearly, but the mechanisms involved are not yet clear. Our study analyzed the role of Sestrin2 (SESN2)pathway in the gut-bone axis. We established an osteoarthritis (OA) model in Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats using the anterior cruciate ligament transection (ACLT) procedure, followed by a dietary intervention with varying levels of dietary fiber content for 8 weeks. By 16S rRNA sequencing of the gut microbiota, we found that high dietary fiber (HDF) intake could significantly increase the Bacillota-dominant gut microbiota. Meanwhile, enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and histological analysis showed that intervention with HDF could reduce the degree of bone and joint lesions and inflammation. We hypothesize that HDF increased the dominant flora of Bacillota, up-regulated the expression of SESN2 in knee joint, and reduced gut permeability, thereby reducing systemic inflammatory response and the degree of bone and joint lesions. Therefore, the present study confirms that changes in gut microbiota induced by increased dietary fiber intake delayed the onset of OA by promoting up-regulation of SESN2 expression at the knee joint to maintain chondrocyte activity and reduce synovial inflammation.

Causal analysis of body composition measurements in osteoarthritis knee: a two-sample mendelian randomization study.

BACKGROUND: To analyse the causal associations of different physical measures with osteoarthritis knee (KOA). METHODS: Exposure factors (weight, body mass index (BMI), body fat percentage, waist circumference, hip circumference, waist-hip ratio (WHR), and basal metabolic rate (BMR)), and outcome factor KOA were analyzed by inverse-variance weighted (IVW) method, along with heterogeneity test, sensitivity and pleiotropy analyses. Meta-analysis was used to combine the effect values of IVW methods in different data sources. RESULTS: Weight, BMI, body fat percentage, waist circumference, hip circumference and BMR analyses showed causal association with increased KOA risk, while WHR analysis indicated a reduction of the incidence of KOA. P-value for all the results was less than 0.05 and F-value large than 20. All results were negative for heterogeneity tests and sensitivity analyses, and there was pleiotropy in weight and BMR. Meta-analysis results showed that the results of Odds Ratios (95% Confidence Intervals) for Weight (1.43(1.35-1.51)), BMI (1.40(1.10-1.78)), body fat percentage (1.56(1.44-1.68)), waist circumference (1.40(1.10-1.78)), hip circumference (1.37(1.30-1.44)), WHR (0.86(0.71-1.04)) and BMR (1.36(1.27-1.46) were consistent with the ones by Mendelian randomization analyses. CONCLUSIONS: Body fat percentage may be a better indicator of KOA than BMI. In addition, weight and BMR may have a causal effect in KOA, but WHR does not have a causal relationship. BMI, body fat percentage, waist circumference, and hip circumference has a causal effect on KOA.

A novel suture bridge anchor fixation technique to treat inferior pole fractures of patella: A retrospective clinical study.

The traditional surgical methods to the fracture of the inferior patellar fracture include steel wire tension band fixation and inferior patellar resection, which have many disadvantages. In order to overcome the disadvantages of traditional surgery, we innovated and improved the double row anchor suture bridge technology to the treat the inferior patellar fracture. This study is to investigate the method, technique and clinical efficacy of double-row anchor suture bridge technique in the treatment of inferior pole fractures of patella. Between January 2019 and March 2021, 36 patients with inferior pole fractures of patella underwent the surgery with the double-row anchor suture bridge technique. 28 injury cases were caused by falls while 8 injury cases were from car crashes. The operation time, amount of intraoperative bleeding and complications were recorded. Radiological assessments and Bostman score were performed 1, 3, and 6 months post-operation and at the most recent follow-ups. The study sample consisted of 19 males and 17 females, aged 31 to 72 years old. The operation time was (54-76) minutes. All incisions healed in 1 stage. No complications such as incision infection, flap necrosis and nerve injury occurred. Patients in this group were followed up for 10 to 18 months, with an average follow-up of 12 months. All fractures healed in 10 to 20 weeks, with an average healing time of 12 weeks. At the last follow-up, the Bostman score was (27.5 ± 3.3), excellent in 32 cases and good in 2 cases, with an excellent rate of 94.4%. The range of motion of the knee joint was (-2.6 ± 2.0)° when the knee was extended and (122 ± 5.0)° when the knee was bent. The muscle strength of quadriceps femoris was grade 5. Double-row anchor suture bridge technique is applied to inferior pole fractures of patella by virtue of its various effects, such as the complete preservation of the inferior pole fragments during the operation, satisfactory fracture reduction, firm fixation, and meeting patients' requirements for early postoperative ambulation. In summary, double-row anchor suture bridge technique is an ideal surgical procedure for the treatment of the inferior pole fracture of patella with safety, reliability and high satisfaction.

Intelligent diagnosis value of preoperative T staging of colorectal cancer based on MR medical imaging.

Colorectal cancer is a common malignant tumor in clinic. With the change of people's diet, living environment and living habits, the incidence of colorectal cancer has risen sharply in recent years, which poses a great threat to people's health and quality of life. This paper aims to investigate the pathogenesis of colorectal cancer and improve the efficiency of clinical diagnosis and treatment. This paper firstly introduces MR Medical imaging technology and related theories of colorectal cancer through literature survey, and then applies MR technology to preoperative T staging of colorectal cancer. 150 patients with colorectal cancer admitted to our hospital every month from January 2019 to January 2020 were used as research objects to carry out the application experiment of MR Medical imaging in the intelligent diagnosis of preoperative T staging of colorectal cancer, and to explore the diagnostic sensitivity, specificity and histopathological T staging diagnosis coincidence rate of MR Staging. The final study results showed that there was no statistical significance in the general data of stage T1-2, T3 and T4 patients (p > 0.05); for patients with preoperative T stage of colorectal cancer, the overall diagnosis coincidence rate of MR Was 89.73%, indicating that it was highly consistent with pathological T stage; compared with MR Staging, the overall diagnosis coincidence rate of CT for preoperative T staging of colorectal cancer patients was 86.73%, which was basically consistent with the diagnosis of pathological T staging. At the same time, three different dictionary learning depth techniques are proposed in this study to solve the shortcomings of long MR Scanning time and slow imaging speed. Through performance testing and comparison, it is found that the structural similarity of MR Image reconstructed by depth dictionary method based on convolutional neural network is up to 99.67%, higher than that of analytic dictionary and synthetic dictionary, which proves that it has the best optimization effect on MR Technology. The study indicated the importance of MR Medical imaging in preoperative T staging diagnosis of colorectal cancer and the necessity of its popularization.

Application of data-driven RANS model in simulating indoor airflow.

The indoor environment has a significant impact on our wellbeing. Accurate prediction of the indoor air distribution can help to create a good indoor environment. Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) models are commonly used for indoor airflow prediction. However, the Boussinesq hypothesis used in the RANS model fails to account for indoor anisotropic flows. To solve this problem, this study developed a data-driven RANS model by using a nonlinear model from the literature. An artificial neural network (ANN) was used to determine the coefficients of high-order terms. Three typical indoor airflows were selected as the training set to develop the model. Four other cases were used as testing sets to verify the generalizability of the model. The results show that the data-driven model can better predict the distributions of air velocity, temperature, and turbulent kinetic energy for the indoor anisotropic flows than the original RANS model. This is because the nonlinear terms are accurately simulated by the ANN. This investigation concluded that the data-driven model can correctly predict indoor anisotropic flows and has reasonably good generalizability.

Effect of Oral Tranexamic Acid on the Blood Transfusion Rate and the Incidence of Deep Vein Thromboembolism in Patients after TKA.

Purpose: To explore the effect of oral tranexamic acid treatment on the blood transfusion rate and the incidence of deep vein thromboembolism after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Methods: 90 patients undergoing TKA admitted to First People's Hospital of Changshu City from January 2019 to January 2020 were selected and randomized into the control group and the experimental group accordingly (45 cases in each group). The control group intravenously received 20 mL/kg tranexamic acid before the incision was closed. The experimental group was given 1 g of tranexamic acid orally before anesthesia, 6 h and 12 h after the operation. Results: The experimental group witnessed better perioperative indexes in relation to the control group. The experimental group displayed better postoperative coagulation function indexes as compared to the control group (P < 0.05). Remarkably lower postoperative vascular endothelial function indexes in the experimental group than in the control group were observed. The experimental group experienced a markedly lower incidence of deep vein thromboembolism in comparison with the control group (P < 0.05). The postoperative knee society score (KSS) score of the experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control group. A significantly higher postoperative modified rivermead mobility index (MRMI) score was yielded in the experimental group in contrast to the control group (P < 0.05). The experimental group obtained lower numerical rating scale (NRS) scores at T2 and T3 as compared to the control group. Conclusion: Oral tranexamic acid is a suitable alternative for patients undergoing TKA in terms of reducing the blood transfusion rate, relieving pain, and accelerating the recovery of the patient's limbs.

Comparison of Two Surgical Approaches to Supination-External Rotation-Type Ankle Fractures.

Objective: To compare the clinical outcome and postoperative complications of the treatment of supination-external rotation-type ankle fractures using the posterolateral approach in the prone position and the lateral approach in the supine position. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted in our hospital, including a total of 66 patients ranging from January 2013 to February 2016, regardless of age or sex. All the patients were classified as Lauge-Hansen supination-external rotation (SER)-type ankle fractures and were assigned to receive an open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) through a posterolateral approach performed in the prone position (the "posterolateral approach group," 32 patients), or a lateral approach performed in the supine position (the "Lateral Approach Group," 34 patients). In the posterolateral approach group, 5 patients had Grade II fractures, 8 had Grade III fractures, and 19 had Grade IV fractures; among whom, 12 underwent fixation of the posterior malleolus with hollow screws and 6 with plates, and none of them had fixation of the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis; in the lateral approach group, 4 patients had Grade II fractures, 12 had Grade III fractures, and 18 had Grade IV fractures; among whom, 21 received fixation of the posterior malleolus, and 5 received fixation of the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis. The postoperative complications and ankle scores were recorded. Results: After 1 year of follow-up, in the posterolateral approach group, the incision healed by primary intention and sutures were removed 2 weeks after the operation in all patients; 1 patient had pain in the region posterior to the fibula, presumably peroneal tendon irritation induced by internal fixation, which disappeared after fracture union and fixation device removal; no loosening or breakage of the internal fixation device was reported; the rate of good to excellent results was 96.8% at 12 months. In the lateral approach group: 1 case of wound infection, 1 case of necrosis of lateral skin flap, and 3 cases of lateral skin irritation were reported; the rate of good to excellent results was 94.6% at 12 months. Conclusion: Compared with the traditional lateral approach, the posterolateral approach for the reduction and internal fixation of supination-external rotation-type ankle fractures performed in the prone position has more satisfactory clinical outcomes, with better reduction, more secure fixation, and smaller wound.

The Genetic Association Between TLR-1, -2, -4, and -6 Gene Polymorphisms and Rheumatoid Arthritis Susceptibility in a Chinese Han Population.

Aims: The toll-like receptor (TLR) genes were shown to be involved in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). We aimed to investigate the genetic associations between the TLR-1, -2, -4, and -6 genes polymorphisms with RA susceptibility in a Chinese Han population. Methods: Six polymorphisms [TLR-1 (rs5743610, rs5743618), -2 (rs5743708), -4 (rs4986790, rs4986791), and -6 (rs5743810)] in TLRs genes were genotyped in 360 patients with RA and 560 matched healthy controls by direct sequencing. The odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were evaluated using a standard logistic regression analysis. Results: No significant associations were observed under the allelic, dominant, or recessive models for TLR-1 rs5743610, TLR-2 rs5743708, TLR-4 rs4986790 and rs4986791, and TLR-6 rs5743810 polymorphisms and RA risk (all p > 0.05). However, significant associations were detected under the allelic, dominant, and recessive models for TLR-1 rs5743618 and RA risk (allelic: OR [95% CI] = 2.21 [1.73-2.81], p < 0.0001; dominant: OR [95% CI] = 2.33 [1.75-3.09], p < 0.0001; recessive models: OR [95% CI] = 3.70 [1.85-7.41], p = 0.0002). In addition, TLR6 rs5743810 was found to be associated with the rheumatoid factor (RF)- and anticyclic citrullinated peptide (anti-CCP)- antibody in RA group (RF: OR [95% CI] = 2.29 [1.42-3.69], p = 0.0007; anti-CCP: OR [95% CI] = 2.33 [1.39-3.89], p = 0.001). Conclusions: The allelic, dominant, and recessive models of TLR1 rs5743618 might be associated with RA susceptibility. Also, the TLR6 rs5743810 marker may be associated with RF and the anti-CCP antibody of RA in the Chinese Han population.

Genetic association between the PTPN22, IRF5 and TYK2 gene variants and susceptibility to juvenile idiopathic arthritis.

Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) refers to a group of chronic childhood arthropathies of unknown etiology. In the present study, the genetic association between the variants in PTPN22, IRF5 and TYK2 genes and susceptibility to JIA was investigated. The distributions of 16 variants in PTPN22, IRF5 and TYK2 genes were analyzed by direct sequencing in 378 patients with JIA and 378 healthy controls. Odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals were used to evaluate the association between the gene variants and JIA. The gene-gene interactions were investigated using multifactor dimensionality reduction. All allelic and dominant models of PTPN22 rs1214414, rs1214418, rs1746853, rs3765598 and rs3811021 were significantly associated with JIA risk (P<0.05). IRF5 rs10954213 in both allelic and dominant models, as well as the allelic model of rs2004640, was significantly related to JIA risk (P<0.05). In addition, the allelic, recessive and dominant models of TYK2 rs280500, rs280519, rs2304256 and rs12720270 were significantly related to JIA risk (P<0.05). In addition, three haplotypes (HC A G T C C, HC A G T T C and HC G T T C T ) in PTPN22 gene, three haplotypes (HD T A A, HI T A C and HD T G C) in IRF5 gene and two haplotypes (HA G G A T and HG A G G T) in TYK2 gene were associated with the risk of JIA (P<0.05). Furthermore, a three-way interaction between IRF5 rs10954213, rs2004640 and PTPN22 rs1214414 was shown to be associated with JIA risk. In conclusion, PTPN22 rs1214418, rs1746853, rs3765598, IRF5 rs2004640, TYK2 rs280500, rs2304256 and a three-way interaction between IRF5 rs10954213, rs2004640 and PTPN22 rs1214414 may be risk factors for JIA.

Interleukin-34 deficiency aggravates development of colitis and colitis-associated cancer in mice.

BACKGROUND: Although expression of interleukin (IL)-34 is upregulated in active ulcerative colitis (UC), the molecular function and underlying mechanism are largely unclear. AIM: To investigate the function of IL-34 in acute colitis, in a wound healing model and in colitis-associated cancer in IL-34-deficient mice. METHODS: Colitis was induced by administration of dextran sodium sulfate (DSS), and carcinogenesis was induced by azoxymethane (AOM). Whether the impact of IL-34 on colitis was dependent on macrophages was validated by depletion of macrophages in a murine model. The association between IL-34 expression and epithelial proliferation was studied in patients with active UC. RESULTS: IL-34 deficiency aggravated murine colitis in acute colitis and in wound healing phase. The effect of IL-34 on experimental colitis was not dependent on macrophage differentiation and polarization. IL-34-deficient mice developed more tumors than wild-type mice following administration of AOM and DSS. No significant difference was shown in degree of cellular differentiation in tumors between wild-type and IL-34-deficient mice. IL-34 was dramatically increased in the active UC patients as previously reported. More importantly, expression of IL-34 was positively correlated with epithelial cell proliferation in patients with UC. CONCLUSION: IL-34 deficiency exacerbates colonic inflammation and accelerates colitis-associated carcinogenesis in mice. It might be served as a potential therapeutic target in UC.

Polymorphisms in IRF5 and TYK2 Genes Are Associated with Rheumatoid Arthritis in a Chinese Han Population.

BACKGROUND The IRF5 and TYK2 gene polymorphisms are associated with autoimmune diseases. However, the relationship between the IRF5 and TYK2 gene polymorphisms and RA risk in the Chinese Han population was inconsistent. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 578 RA patients (case group) and 578 healthy controls (control group) were assessed in a case-control study. Genotyping of IRF5 (Exon 6 insertion/deletion (in/de), rs2004640, rs2070197, rs10954213) and TYK2 (rs280500, rs280519, rs280521, rs8108236, rs12720253) was performed by direct sequencing method. Data analysis was performed by SHEsis. RESULTS The rs2004640T allele (P=0.0003) and the dominant (P=0.001) and recessive (P=0.01) models of rs2004640 were associated with RA risk after stringent Bonferroni correction (0.05/4). The IRF5 exon 6 (in), rs2070197 and rs10954213 were not associated with RA (P>0.05). Two haplotypes of IRF5 (DTAT and DTGG) were associated with RA susceptibility (P<0.05). In addition, the frequencies of TYK2 rs280500A, rs280521A, and rs8108236A were significantly higher in the RA group compared with the control group (P<0.05). TYK2 rs280500, rs280521, and rs8108236 were associated with RA susceptibility in the dominant model, but the same was not observed for rs280519 and rs12720253 (P<0.05). Furthermore, 3 risk haplotypes (AAAGT, AGGAT, and GAAAT) and a protective haplotype (GAGGT) of TYK2 gene were associated with RA susceptibility (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that IRF5 rs2004640, TYK2 rs280500, rs280521, rs8108236, and haplotypes IRF5 (DTAT and DTGG) and TYK2 (AAAGT, AGGAT, GAAAT, and GAGGT) are susceptible factors for RA in a Chinese Han population.

Different Circulation Pattern of Multiple Respiratory Viruses in Southern China During the COVID-19 Pandemic.

China implemented stringent non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) in spring 2020, which has effectively suppressed SARS-CoV-2. In this study, we utilized data from routine respiratory virus testing requests from physicians and examined circulation of 11 other respiratory viruses in Southern China, from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2020. A total of 58,169 throat swabs from patients with acute respiratory tract infections (ARTIs) were collected and tested. We found that while the overall activity of respiratory viruses was lower during the period with stringent NPIs, virus activity rebounded shortly after the NPIs were relaxed and social activities resumed. Only influenza was effectively suppressed with very low circulation which extended to the end of 2020. Circulation of other respiratory viruses in the community was maintained even during the period of stringent interventions, especially for rhinovirus. Our study shows that NPIs against COVID-19 have different impacts on respiratory viruses.

The LMP2 CfoI polymorphism is associated with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) risk but not with acute anterior uveitis (AAU): A meta-analysis.

BACKGROUND: Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is one of the most common chronic inflammatory disorders affecting the sacroiliac joints, spine, and peripheral joints. Apart from HLA-B27, the LMP2 gene has been shown to play a role in the pathogenesis of AS as well as AAU in AS. However, genetic associations between LMP2 CfoI polymorphism and AS and AAU were inconclusive. We aimed to investigate the correlation of LMP2 CfoI polymorphism and AS and AAU using meta-analysis. METHODS: An exhaustive search was conducted using the PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) electronic databases. The strength association was assessed by crude ORs with 95% CI. RESULTS: Eight eligible records with 449 AS patients and 317 healthy controls were included in the present study. The allelic model of the LMP2 CfoI polymorphism is associated with AS risk (OR = 0.60, 95%CI = [0.32, 1.11], P = .003). A stratified analysis based on ethnicity has shown that the allelic model of LMP2 CfoI was associated with AS in the Caucasian population (OR = 0.72, 95%CI = [0.55, 0.93], P = .01) but not in the Asian population (P > .05). Furthermore, no association was detected between LMP2 CfoI polymorphism and AS complication (AAU). CONCLUSION: Our combined results revealed that the allelic model of LMP2 CfoI might be a protective factor for AS in the Caucasian population. Nevertheless, future studies on different ethnicities with larger sample sizes are needed to obtain a more convincing result.

Oleoylethanolamide alleviates macrophage formation via AMPK/PPARα/STAT3 pathway.

BACKGROUND: Atherosclerosis is the main underlying cause of most cardiovascular diseases, and monocyte migrating to the vascular wall and subsequently differentiating into macrophage are critical steps in the process of atherosclerosis. The goal of this study was to clarify the effect of oleoylethanolamide (OEA) on monocyte migration and subsequent macrophage formation in the vascular wall. METHODS: We studied OEA in two monocyte-migrating systems in vitro: one was a single cell system whereby monocytes were exposed to OEA directly; the other was a co-culture system whereby monocytes were exposed to OEA-treated macrophages. The effect of OEA on macrophage content in the vascular wall in vivo was measured in apolipoprotein E (apoE)-/- mice by CD68 immunohistochemistry. The protein and mRNA expressions with OEA treatment were examined using western blot and real-time PCR. RESULTS: Interestingly, OEA possessed dual-directional regulation of monocyte chemotaxis in vitro, with a stimulatory effect in the single cell system and a suppressive effect in the co-culture system. And OEA restrained macrophage deposition in the vascular wall of apoE-/- mice. The underlying mechanism of OEA suppressing monocyte migration in the co-culture system was that OEA increased phosphorylation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα) level, and decreased phosphorylation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) level in macrophages, which was reinforced by the in vivo experiment. CONCLUSIONS: OEA restrains excessive macrophage formation in the progressive lesion by inhibiting MCP-1 production of the existent macrophages through the AMPK/PPARα/STAT3 pathway.

A linear support higher-order tensor machine for classification.

There has been growing interest in developing more effective learning machines for tensor classification. At present, most of the existing learning machines, such as support tensor machine (STM), involve nonconvex optimization problems and need to resort to iterative techniques. Obviously, it is very time-consuming and may suffer from local minima. In order to overcome these two shortcomings, in this paper, we present a novel linear support higher-order tensor machine (SHTM) which integrates the merits of linear C-support vector machine (C-SVM) and tensor rank-one decomposition. Theoretically, SHTM is an extension of the linear C-SVM to tensor patterns. When the input patterns are vectors, SHTM degenerates into the standard C-SVM. A set of experiments is conducted on nine second-order face recognition datasets and three third-order gait recognition datasets to illustrate the performance of the proposed SHTM. The statistic test shows that compared with STM and C-SVM with the RBF kernel, SHTM provides significant performance gain in terms of test accuracy and training speed, especially in the case of higher-order tensors.

[Early effectiveness of discover cervical artificial disc replacement in treatment of cervical spondylosis].

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the early effectiveness of the Discover cervical artificial disc replacement in treating cervical spondylosis. METHODS: Qualified for the selective standard, 24 patients with cervical spondylosis were treated between March 2010 and March 2011. Of 24 patients, 13 patients underwent anterior cervical decompression and fusion (ACDF) (ACDF group, between March 2010 and September 2010) and 11 patients underwent Discover cervical artificial disc replacement (CADR group, between September 2010 and March 2011). There was no significant difference in gender, age, disease duration, lesions typing, and affected segments between 2 groups (P > 0.05). The operative time, blood loss, and complications were recorded. Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) scores, Neck Disability Index (NDI) scores, and Odom's scores were used to evaluate the postoperative effectiveness. In CADR group, the cervical range of motion (ROM) in all directions, and prosthesis eccentricity were measured before and after operation. RESULTS: Symptoms disappeared and no complication occurred after operation in the patients of 2 groups. The patients were followed up 12 to 18 months (mean, 15.3 months) in ACDF group and 6 to 12 months (mean, 9.6 months) in CADR group. The NDI scores in CADR group were significantly higher than those in ACDF group at 1, 3, and 6 months (P < 0.05), but no significant difference was observed in JOA score improvement rate between 2 groups (P > 0.05). According to Odom's score at last follow-up, the results were excellent in 6 cases, good in 4 cases, and fair in 3 cases with an excellent and good rate of 76.92% in ACDF group, and were excellent in 9 cases, good in 1 case, and poor in 1 case with an excellent and good rate of 90.91% in CADR group, showing no significant difference (chi2 = 3.000, P = 0.223). The patients in CADR group had significant limit of cervical joint ROM in flexion and extension and right bending at 1 month (P < 0.05), but cervical joint ROM restored after 3 months. The ROMs of left bending at 3 months and 6 months were bigger than preoperative value (P < 0.05). Meanwhile, ROM in left bending were bigger than that in right bending in replaced segment and upper segment (P < 0.05), and the ROM difference between left bending and right bending in upper segment was 2 times higher than that in the replaced segment; a marked linear correlation (P < 0.05) existed between the ROM difference and prosthesis eccentricity, and prosthesis bias had bigger ROM in lateral bending. CONCLUSION: Discover cervical artificial disc replacement for treatment of cervical spondylosis can provide a good effectiveness and cervical postoperative movement function. As a new prosthesis, it has some merits such as simple operative steps and less complications.
