ObjectiveTo review the research progress on etiology and pathogenesis of spina bifida. MethodsBy consulting relevant domestic and foreign research literature on spina bifida, the classification, epidemic trend, pathogenesis, etiology, prevention and treatment of it were analyzed and summarized. ResultsSpina bifida, a common phenotype of neural tube defects, is classified based on the degree and pattern of malformation associated with neuroectodermal involvement and is due to the disturbance of neural tube closure 28 days before embryonic development. The prevalence of spina bifida varies greatly among different ethnic groups and regions, and its etiology is complex. Currently, some spina bifida patients can be prevented by folic acid supplements, and with the improvement of treatment technology, the short-term and long-term survival rate of children with spina bifida has improved. ConclusionThe research on the pathogenesis of spina bifida will be based on the refined individual information on exposure, genetics, and complex phenotype, and will provide a theoretical basis for improving prevention and treatment strategies through multidisciplinary cooperation.
ObjectiveTo evaluate early effectiveness of posterior 180-degree decompression via unilateral biportal endoscopy (UBE) in the treatment of lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) combined with Michigan State University (MSU)-1 lumbar disc herniation (LDH). MethodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical data from 33 patients with LSS combined with MSU-1 LDH, who met selection criteria and were treated between March 2022 and January 2024. All patients underwent UBE-assisted 180-degree spinal canal decompression. The cohort comprised 17 males and 16 females, aged 37-82 years (mean, 67.1 years). Preoperative presentations included bilateral lower limbs intermittent claudication and radiating pain, with disease duration ranging from 5 to 13 months (mean, 8.5 months). Affected segments included L3, 4 in 4 cases, L4, 5 in 28 cases, and L5, S1 in 1 case. LSS was rated as Schizas grade A in 4 cases, grade B in 5 cases, grade C in 13 cases, and grade D in 11 cases. LDH was categorized as MSU-1A in 24 cases, MSU-1B in 2 cases, and MSU-1AB in 7 cases. Intraoperative parameters (operation time, blood loss) and postoperative hospitalization length were recorded. The visual analogue scale (VAS) score and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) were used to assess the lower limb pain and functional outcomes after operation. Clinical efficacy was evaluated at last follow-up via modified MacNab criteria. Quantitative radiological assessments included dural sac cross-sectional area (DSCA) measurements and spinal stenosis grading on lumbar MRI. Morphological classification of lumbar canal stenosis was determined according to the Schizas grading, categorized into four grades. Results The operation time was 60.4-90.8 minutes (mean, 80.3 minutes) and intraoperative blood loss was 13-47 mL (mean, 29.9 mL). The postoperative hospitalization length was 3-5 days (mean, 3.8 days). All patients were followed up 12-16 months (mean, 13.8 months). The VAS score and ODI improved at immediate and 3, 6, and 12 months after operation compared to before operation, and the differences between different time points were significant (P<0.05). At last follow-up, the clinical efficacy assessed by the modified MacNab criteria were graded as excellent in 23 cases, good in 9 cases, and poor in 1 case, with an excellent and good rate of 96.97%. Postoperative lumbar MRI revealed the significant decompression of the dural sac in 32 cases, with 1 case showing inadequate dural expansion. DSCA measurements confirmed progressive enlargement and stenosis reduction over time. The differences were significant (P<0.05) before operation, immediately after operation, and at 6 months after operation. At 6 months after operation, Schizas grading of spinal stenosis improved to grade A in 27 cases and grade B in 6 cases. ConclusionPosterior 180-degree decompression via UBE is a safe and feasible strategy for treating LSS combined with MSU-1 LDH, achieving effective neural decompression while preserving intervertebral disc integrity.

ObjectiveTo investigate the optimal surgical opportunity timing of posterior hemivertebra resection by comparing the outcomes of surgical treatment for congenital spinal deformity in patients at different ages. MethodsBetween January 2007 and Februay 2013, 36 cases of congenital hemivertebra scoliosis underwent one-stage posterior hemivertebra resection and segmental instrumentation fixation and fusion. There were 22 males and 14 females, with an average age of 16.8 years (range, 5-48 years). The patients were divided into 3 groups:group A (≤10 years, n=7), group B (10-20 years, n=22), and group C (>20 years, n=7). There was no significant difference in gender, segment, type, and complication among 3 groups (P>0.05). Anteroposterior and lateral X-ray films were taken before and after operation to measure the scoliosis Cobb angle, kyphosis Cobb angle, and C7 plumb line-center sacral vertical line (C7PL-CSVL). The improvement rate was calculated. And the perioperative and long-term complications were recorded. ResultsThe operation time of group A was significantly less than that of group C (P<0.05); the intraoperative blood loss of group B and group C were significantly more than that of group A (P<0.05); and the fixed segments of group B and group C were significantly more than those of group A (P<0.05). Thirty-six cases were followed up 7-62 months (mean, 31.3 months). No poor wound healing, pedicle cutting, pseudoarticulation formation, and other complications occurred during the follow-up. At last follow-up, 31 patients obtained a balance of double shoulders and double hips. The scoliosis Cobb angle, kyphosis Cobb angle, and C7PL-CSVL at immediate after operation and last follow-up were significantly improved when compared with preoperative ones in 3 groups (P<0.05). The scoliosis Cobb angle at last follow-up of group B was significantly larger than that of group C, the kyphotic correction rate at immediate after operation was significantly larger in groups A and C than in group B, the kyphotic correction rate of group B at last follow-up was significantly less than that of group C, and C7PL-CSVL correction rate of group A at immediate after operation was significantly larger than that of group B, all showing significant differences (P<0.05). ConclusionEarly one stage posterior hemivertebra resection is safe and effective, especially in patients who had no formation of structural compensatory bending and spinal stiffness, which can shorten the operation time and reduce the fixed segments and intraoperative hemorrhage. Influence on the growth and activity of the spine is relatively small.
To evaluate the appl ication value of internal fixation of spinal column by posterior approach and extraperitioneal bilateral focal debridement for the treatment of tuberculosis of lumbosacral vertebral body. Methods From March 2000 to February 2005, 16 cases of spinal tuberculosis in L3-S1 were treated with internal fixation of spinal column by posterior approach and extraperitioneal bilateral focal debridement. Sixteen cases included 11 males and 5 females, and the age was 21-56 years. The locations of spinal tuberculosis were L3 in 4 cases, L4 in 6, L5 in 4, and S1 in 2. The course of disease averaged 13 monthes (range 6 monthes to 6 years). The ESR of all cases was greater than 20 mm/h (average40 mm/h); WBC was normal in 14 cases, and a l ittle high in 2 cases. The X-ray picture showed narrow intervertebral space in 5 cases, compressed body of vertebra in 7 cases, and destroyed 2 consecutive vertebra and its sclerotin was condupl icate in 1 case. All cases were abscess in major psoas muscle. The CT showed destruction of bone, abscess-formation and dead bone in body of vertebra of 16 cases. The abscess were found in vertebral canal in 5 cases and dura mater of spinal cord and spinal nerve root crushed in 2 cases. The MRI showed destruction of bone, abscess-formation and hibateral abscess in major psoas muscle in 11 cases. The abscess were found in vertebral canal and dura mater of spinal cord and spinal nerve root crushed in 6 cases. The therapy of pasid was treated after operation in all the cases. Results Incision healed by first intention in 16 cases; and disruption of wound occurred and heal ing was achieved after symptomatic treatment in 1 case. Sixteen cases were followed up 2-5 years (29 months on average). Among all the cases, anaesthesia in double thigh was found in 3 cases, adynamia of dorsiflexion in foot in 1 case, gatism in 1 case; after 2 weeks the symptoms were vanished. Indirect hernia of fold inguen were found in 1 case after 2 years, and the patient refused operation for age and was no longer followed up. Fuzzy, exsic and acerb in eyes were foundin 6 cases, hearing disturbance were found in 2 cases, and symptoms were vanished after medication adjustment. Low-grade fever and lumbar myalgia were found in 1 case and cured after staying in bed and medication adjustment. All ESR were normal, synostosis of lumbosacral vertebral body was found in 13 cases, kyphosis in 1 case. Conclusion Internal fixation of spinal column by posterior approach and extraperitioneal bilateral focal debridement is safe and available way for the treatment of tuberculosis of lumbosacral vertebral body, it can save the times of operation, shorten period and enhance effect of treatment.
ObjectiveTo analyze the pressure change and distribution of the intervertebral disc of upper thoracic spine in vertical pressure and 5° flexion, extension, or lateral bending. MethodsTwelve thoracolumbar spinal specimens were harvested from mini pigs and were divided into 2 groups (n=6). T1, 2, T3, 4, T5, 6, and T7, 8 segments were included in one group, and T2, 3, T4, 5, T6, 7, and T8, 9 segments were included in the other group. The data from both groups represented the complete upper thoracic vertebra data. Biomechanical machine and pressure sensitive film were used to measure the pressure on the vertebral columns under loadings of 100, 150, and 200 N in vertical pressures and 5° flexion, extension, or lateral bending. The pressure change of each intervertebral disc under different loads and in different movement conditions was analyzed. ResultsIn flexion, the anterior annulus pressure of the upper thoracic vertebra increased (P < 0.05), whereas the posterior annulus pressure showed no significant change (P > 0.05) or an increasing trend (P < 0.05). In extension, the anterior annulus pressure of the upper thoracic vertebra decreased (P < 0.05), whereas the posterior annulus pressure decreased (P < 0.05) or had no obvious change (P > 0.05). In lateral bending, the pressure on the concave side of the annulus increased significantly (P < 0.05). ConclusionThe upper thoracic vertebra has unique biomechanical characteristics under different loadings; moreover, the posterior vertebral structure plays an important role in the movement of the upper thoracic vertebral segment and pressure distribution. In lateral bending of the upper thoracic vertebra, the concave side pressure will increase significantly, which suggests that asymmetrical force is an important cause of scoliosis progression. Gravity plays an important role in the progression of scoliosis.
