Curve Behavior of Distal Segments After Posterior-Only Hemivertebra Resection for Congenital Cervicothoracic Scoliosis.

Study Design: A retrospective and consecutive study.

Objective: To demonstrate the curve evolution of distal non-structural compensatory curves in patients with congenital cervicothoracic hemivertebra (CTH) scoliosis undergoing posterior-only hemivertebra resection and to propose the possible mechanisms of this specific phenomenon.

Summary Of Background Data: Though the spinal alignment could be well corrected via posterior hemivertebra resection in CTH patients, the high prevalence of distal curve progression was remarkable.

Prediction Model for Lumbar Curve Correction After Selective Thoracic Fusion in Lenke 1 and 2 Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis.

Study Design: A retrospective study.

Objective: To identify independent risk factors and construct a prediction model for lumbar curve correction (LCC) after selective thoracic fusion (STF) in patients with Lenke 1 and 2 adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS).

Summary Of Background Data: STF has been widely applied to Lenke 1 and 2 AIS patients.

Posterior Corrective Surgery for Type II Congenital Kyphosis: SRS-Schwab Grade 4 Osteotomy or Vertebral Column Resection?

Objective: Surgical decision-making for congenital kyphosis (CK) with failure of anterior segmentation (type II) has been contradictory regarding the trade-off between the pursuit of correction rate and the inherent risk of the osteotomy procedure. This study was designed to compare the clinical and radiographic measurement in type II CK underwent SRS-Schwab Grade 4 osteotomy and vertebral column resection (VCR), the most-adapted osteotomy techniques for CK, and to propose the strategy to select between the two procedures.

Methods: This retrospective observational comparative study evaluated surgical outcomes in type II CK patients underwent VCR or SRS-Schwab Grade 4 osteotomy at our institution between January 2015 and January 2020.

Predicting potential distribution of the Rhinoncus sibiricus under climatic in China using MaxEnt.

In recent years, buckwheat (Fagopyrum spp.) is being increasingly damaged by the Siberian tortoise beetle (Rhinoncus sibiricus Faust). Adults and nymphs feed on leaf tissues and caulicles, thus damaging its stems and leaves.

Intra-operative Neurophysiological Monitoring in Patients Undergoing Posterior Spinal Correction Surgery with Pre-operative Neurological Deficit: Its Feasibility and High-risk Factors for Failed Monitoring.

Objective: Considering spinal deformity patients with pre-operative neurological deficit were associated with more intra-operative iatrogenic neurological complications than those without, intra-operative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM) has been used for detecting possible iatrogenic injury timely. However, the IONM waveforms are often unreliable. To analyze the performance of intra-operative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM) including somatosensory evoked potentials (SEP) and motor evoked potentials (MEP) in patients with pre-operative neurological deficit undergoing posterior spinal correction surgery, and to identify the high-risk factors for failed IONM.

Isolation and Identification of Herbicidal Active Compounds from L. and Exploration of the Binding Sites of Brassicanate A Sulfoxide.

L. has strong allelopathic effects on weeds. However, the allelochemicals with herbicidal activity in L.

Indole-3-acetonitrile Is a Critical Molecule with Weed Allopathic Suppression Function in Broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. italica).

Cruciferous plants are frequently used for ecologically benign weed control in agricultural production. Most effective Broccoli varieties were screened using the entropy method-based topsis model at first. Result showed that varieties of Lvwawa and Lvbaoshiwere most effective in allelopathic suppression on radishes.

Intra-Operative Neurophysiological Monitoring in Patients with Thoracic Spinal Stenosis: Its Feasibility and High-Risk Factors for New Neurological Deficit.

Objective: Considering the high risk of postoperative neurological complications for patients with thoracic spinal stenosis (TSS), intra-operative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM) has been used for detecting possible iatrogenic injury timely. However, the IONM waveforms are often unreliable. This article is designed to determine the test performance of somatosensory evoked potentials (SEP) and motor evoked potentials (MEP) during surgical thoracic decompression in patients with TSS, and to investigate the risk factors associated with deteriorated neurologic function at immediate postoperation.

Intra-Operative Neurophysiological Monitoring in Patients with Intraspinal Abnormalities Undergoing Posterior Spinal Fusion.

Objective: To analyze the intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM) data of patients with intraspinal abnormalities undergoing posterior spinal fusion and to determine how intraspinal abnormalities influence IONM results.

Methods: Patients with severe kyphoscoliosis and intraspinal abnormalities who underwent posterior spinal correction and fusion between September 2015 and January 2019 were retrospectively reviewed. Candidate intraspinal abnormalities included Chiari malformation, syringomyelia, split cord malformation, and tethered cord syndrome.

Intraoperative Neurophysiological Monitoring Alerts During Three-Column Osteotomy: Incidence and Risk Factors.

Prupose: To analyze the incidence and risk factors of intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM) alerts in patients undergoing three-column osteotomy.

Methods: A total of 551 patients (340 males and 211 females) with an average age of 31.9 years undergoing posterior 3-column osteotomy were retrospectively reviewed.

Failed Primary Surgery in Congenital Scoliosis Caused by a Single Hemivertebra: Reasons and Revision Strategies.

Objective: To analyze the factors causing failure of primary surgery in congenital scoliosis (CS) patients with single hemivertebra (SHV) undergoing posterior spinal fusion, and to elucidate the revision strategies.

Methods: In this retrospective study, a total of 32 CS patients secondary to SHV undergoing revision surgery from April 2010 to December 2017 due to failed primary surgery with more than 2 years follow-up were reviewed. The reasons for failure of primary surgery and revision strategies were analyzed for each patient.

Intra-operative neurophysiological monitoring in patients with dystrophic neurofibromatosis type 1 scoliosis.

Objective: To analyse the intra-operative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM) data in patients with dystrophic neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) associated scoliosis, and to investigate the possible risk factors for failed IONM monitoring.
