MicroRNA Let-7i Regulates Innate TLR4 Pathways in Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells of Patients with Ankylosing Spondylitis.

Purpose: This study aimed to compare the changes in the expression of microRNA Let-7i in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and the correlation between Let-7i and innate pro-inflammatory factors. It is necessary to search for a new biomarker to guide the prognosis of AS.

Methods: A total of 10 patients with AS and 10 healthy volunteers were selected as AS and control groups, respectively.

[Establishment of finite element model of anterior cervical transpedicular system for reconstruction of cervical stability after subtotal resection of two segments of lower cervical spine].

Objective: To establish the fixation model of anterior cervical transpedicular system (ACTPS) after subtotal resection of two segments of lower cervical spine(C-C) in order to provide a finite element modeling method for anterior cervical reconstruction.

Methods: The CT data of the cervical segment (C-T) of a 30-year-old adult healthy male volunteer was collected. Used Mimics 10.

[Comparative study between 3D guide plate assisted and free-hand insertion of anterior cervical transpedicular screw].

Objective: To compare accuracy of anterior cervical pedicle screws between assist of rapid prototyping 3D guide plate and free-hand insertion, and evaluate the safety of two methods.

Methods: Eight adult cervical cadaver specimens after formaldehyde immersion, including 4 males and 4 females, aged 32 to 65(40.3±5.

Modified Broström Repair With and Without Augmentation Using Suture Tape for Chronic Lateral Ankle Instability.

Objective: To compare the clinical and radiological outcome between the modified Broström repair with augmentation using suture tape (MBA) and the modified Broström repair (MB) for patients with chronic lateral ankle instability.

Methods: A retrospective study was performed in Ningbo No. 6 Hospital.
