Background: Despite the common use of ankle taping as a conservative treatment for chronic ankle instability (CAI), its effects on mechanical instability remain unquantified. This study aimed to use a capacitance-type strain sensor to quantitatively evaluate changes in mechanical instability resulting from several taping methods.

Methods: This crossover study analyzed 30 ankles of individuals with CAI under three taping conditions: athletic taping (AT), ankle kinesio taping (aKT), and lower leg-to-ankle kinesio taping (lKT). The anterior drawer distance (ADD) and ankle range of motion (ROM) were measured before and after each taping method. Participants rated their subjective stability and discomfort. Taping time and cost were also recorded. Statistical significance was set at P < 0.05.

Results: All taping methods significantly reduced the ADD (P < 0.001). AT demonstrated the greatest reduction in ADD and also restricted ankle ROM in all directions compared with both kinesio taping methods (P < 0.001). Inversion was restricted with all taping methods (P < 0.001 to P = 0.016), with lKT providing greater restriction than aKT (P = 0.048). Subjective stability did not significantly differ between the taping methods (P = 0.077). Taping application time was significantly shorter for AT (P < 0.001), while cost was highest for aKT (P = 0.009 to 0.010).

Conclusions: In individuals with CAI, AT provided the greatest improvement in mechanical stability and simultaneously imposed greater restrictions on ankle ROM. Among the KT methods, lKT provided greater inversion restriction than aKT. These findings emphasize the importance of carefully selecting taping methods based on the specific needs of each case.

Level of evidence: Level III, prospective crossover study.

背景:尽管踝关节胶布作为慢性踝关节不稳定(CAI)的保守治疗常用,但其对机械不稳定的影响仍未量化。本研究旨在使用电容式应变传感器定量评估几种胶带方法导致的机械不稳定性变化。方法:本交叉研究分析了30例CAI患者踝关节在三种情况下的情况:运动贴敷(AT)、踝关节运动贴敷(aKT)和下肢-踝关节运动贴敷(lKT)。测定两种方法前后的前抽屉距离(ADD)和踝关节活动度(ROM)。参与者对他们的主观稳定性和不适程度进行了评分。同时记录了录制时间和成本。差异有统计学意义,P < 0.05。结果:两种方法均能显著降低ADD (P < 0.001)。与两种运动内固定术相比,AT术显示ADD和踝关节各方向受限ROM的减少最大(P < 0.001)。所有贴带方法均限制反转(P < 0.001 ~ P = 0.016),其中lKT比aKT的限制更大(P = 0.048)。主观稳定性差异无统计学意义(P = 0.077)。AT的涂胶时间显著缩短(P < 0.001), aKT的涂胶成本最高(P = 0.009 ~ 0.010)。结论:在CAI患者中,AT对机械稳定性的改善最大,同时对踝关节ROM施加了更大的限制。在KT方法中,lKT比aKT具有更大的内翻限制。这些发现强调了根据每个病例的具体需要仔细选择录音方法的重要性。证据等级:III级,前瞻性交叉研究。

Background: Liposarcoma demonstrates significant biological and clinical heterogeneity across subtypes, yet optimal treatment strategies remain controversial. We evaluated subtype-specific treatment outcomes and hospital volume effects using population-based registry data.

Methods: We conducted a population-based cohort study analyzing 6,678 patients with liposarcoma diagnosed between 2016 and 2019 from the Japanese National Cancer Registry. Subtype-specific clinical characteristics, treatment patterns, and survival outcomes were evaluated using Cox regression and Kaplan-Meier methods. Propensity score matching was performed to assess radiotherapy and chemotherapy effectiveness while controlling for confounding variables.

Results: Well-differentiated liposarcoma was most common (46.2 %), followed by dedifferentiated (27.8 %), myxoid (10.8 %), and pleomorphic (3.2 %) subtypes. Myxoid liposarcomas predominantly affected patients aged <60 years (63.8 %). Multivariate analysis identified male sex (HR 1.264, p = 0.008), older age (HR 3.307, p < 0.001), retroperitoneal location (HR 1.861, p < 0.001), distant disease (HR 6.091, p < 0.001), and treatment at low-volume hospitals (HR 1.381, p = 0.001) as independent poor prognostic factors. Propensity score-matched analysis demonstrated improved survival with radiotherapy in dedifferentiated liposarcomas (3-year survival: 76.5 % vs. 66.1 %, p = 0.022) and with chemotherapy in pleomorphic liposarcomas (3-year survival: 87.5 % vs. 68.8 %, p = 0.038).

Conclusions: Treatment efficacy varies significantly across liposarcoma subtypes, with potential survival benefits of radiotherapy in dedifferentiated subtypes and chemotherapy in pleomorphic subtypes. These findings support subtype-guided treatment approaches and suggest benefits of centralized care for optimal therapy implementation.

背景:脂肪肉瘤在不同亚型间表现出显著的生物学和临床异质性,但最佳治疗策略仍存在争议。我们使用基于人群的登记数据评估了亚型特异性治疗结果和医院容量效应。方法:我们进行了一项基于人群的队列研究,分析了2016年至2019年日本国家癌症登记处诊断的6678例脂肪肉瘤患者。采用Cox回归和Kaplan-Meier方法评估亚型特异性临床特征、治疗模式和生存结果。在控制混杂变量的同时,采用倾向评分匹配来评估放疗和化疗的有效性。结果:高分化脂肪肉瘤最常见(46.2%),其次是去分化亚型(27.8%)、粘液样亚型(10.8%)和多形性亚型(3.2%)。结论:不同亚型脂肪肉瘤的治疗效果差异显著,去分化亚型放疗和多形性亚型化疗具有潜在的生存益处。这些发现支持以亚型为导向的治疗方法,并建议集中护理的好处,以实现最佳治疗。

Background: Continuous local antibiotic perfusion (CLAP) delivers high-concentration antibiotics locally to achieve the minimal biofilm eradication concentration. Although CLAP has shown efficacy in orthopaedic infections, data on serum gentamicin levels and associated complications remain limited. This study aimed to evaluate serum gentamicin elevation and related adverse events during CLAP, and to identify contributing factors.

Methods: A retrospective review was conducted of 59 patients who underwent CLAP for hip or knee joints between 2019 and 2024, with perioperative serum gentamicin levels measured. Data included laboratory findings, CLAP duration, number of intra-soft tissue perfusion (iSAP) tubes and intra-medullary perfusion (iMAP) pins, gentamicin dose, peak serum gentamicin level, and adverse events.

Results: Serum gentamicin levels exceeded 1.0 μg/mL in 21 patients (36 %). The median day of peak serum gentamicin level was 7 postoperative days (IQR, 3-10), most frequently on postoperative day (POD) 3 and POD 10. Acute kidney injury (AKI) occurred in 7 cases (12 %), with one requiring temporary dialysis. Renal function recovered in all cases after cessation of CLAP. No ototoxicity (cranial nerve VIII toxicity) was observed. A univariate analysis showed that a greater number of iMAP pins, longer CLAP duration, higher gentamicin doses, and abnormal preoperative laboratory values (including lower albumin and hemoglobin, and higher CRP, ESR, creatinine, and neutrophil counts) were associated with elevated serum gentamicin levels.

Conclusion: Elevated serum gentamicin levels occurred in a subset of patients treated with CLAP. Elevated serum gentamicin levels may be associated with both treatment-related factors (iMAP pins, gentamicin dose, and CLAP duration) and host-related factors (lower albumin and hemoglobin, renal function, and systemic inflammation). Considering these risk factors may help adjust dosing strategies and contribute to the safe application of CLAP.

背景:持续局部抗生素灌注(CLAP)可在局部输送高浓度抗生素以达到最小的生物膜根除浓度。尽管淋病已显示出对骨科感染的疗效,但关于血清庆大霉素水平和相关并发症的数据仍然有限。本研究旨在评估淋病患者血清庆大霉素升高和相关不良事件,并确定影响因素。方法:回顾性分析2019 - 2024年间59例髋关节或膝关节行淋病的患者,测定围术期血清庆大霉素水平。数据包括实验室结果、CLAP持续时间、软组织灌注(iSAP)管和髓内灌注(iMAP)针数量、庆大霉素剂量、血清庆大霉素峰值水平和不良事件。结果:21例(36%)患者血清庆大霉素浓度超过1.0 μg/mL。庆大霉素血清峰值的中位数为术后7天(IQR, 3-10),最常见的是术后第3天和第10天。7例(12%)发生急性肾损伤(AKI), 1例需要临时透析。所有病例停止淋病后肾功能均恢复。未见耳毒性(脑神经VIII毒性)。单因素分析显示,iMAP针数较多、CLAP持续时间较长、庆大霉素剂量较高和术前实验室值异常(包括白蛋白和血红蛋白较低、CRP、ESR、肌酐和中性粒细胞计数较高)与血清庆大霉素水平升高有关。结论:庆大霉素水平升高发生在接受淋病治疗的一部分患者中。血清庆大霉素水平升高可能与治疗相关因素(iMAP针、庆大霉素剂量和淋病持续时间)和宿主相关因素(白蛋白和血红蛋白降低、肾功能和全身炎症)有关。考虑到这些风险因素可能有助于调整给药策略,并有助于安全应用淋病。

Background: The incidence of cancer and related deaths has increased substantially, with bone commonly serving as a metastatic site. Metastatic spinal tumors severely impair quality of life and activities of daily living. Prognostic scoring systems such as the revised Tokuhashi and Tomita scores are widely used in surgical decision-making for these tumors. However, their accuracy for recent cancer cases is unclear due to advances in cancer therapy.

Methods: This multicenter, prospective study by the Japan Association of Spine Surgeons with Ambition analyzed 413 surgical cases for metastatic spinal tumors from October 2018 to March 2021. Of these, 272 cases with complete data were included. The Kaplan-Meier method, log-rank test, and statistical analysis were used to assess the association between survival and prognostic scores.

Results: Both the revised Tokuhashi and Tomita scores significantly stratified patients by survival (P < 0.01). The revised Tokuhashi score accurately predicted survival in 60.3 % of patients, underestimated it in 33.1 %, and overestimated it in 6.6 %. Significant score differences were found among groups with different survival durations. However, differentiating between <6-month and 6-12-month survival periods was difficult.

Conclusions: The revised Tokuhashi and Tomita scores remain valid tools for predicting prognosis in patients undergoing surgery for metastatic spinal tumors. Nonetheless, these systems tend to underestimate survival in recent cases, particularly in short-term prognoses. Updating the scoring criteria may be necessary to reflect advancements in cancer therapy and extended patient survival.

背景:癌症的发病率和相关死亡人数大幅增加,骨通常作为转移部位。转移性脊柱肿瘤严重损害生活质量和日常生活活动。预后评分系统,如修订的Tokuhashi和Tomita评分被广泛用于这些肿瘤的手术决策。然而,由于癌症治疗的进步,它们对近期癌症病例的准确性尚不清楚。方法:这项由日本脊柱外科医师协会开展的多中心前瞻性研究分析了2018年10月至2021年3月期间413例转移性脊柱肿瘤手术病例。其中包括272例资料完整的病例。采用Kaplan-Meier法、log-rank检验和统计分析来评估生存和预后评分之间的关系。结果:修订后的Tokuhashi评分和Tomita评分对患者的生存进行了显著分层(P < 0.01)。修正后的Tokuhashi评分准确预测了60.3%患者的生存,低估了33.1%,高估了6.6%。不同生存时间组间得分差异有统计学意义。然而,结论的区别:修订后的Tokuhashi和Tomita评分仍然是预测转移性脊柱肿瘤手术患者预后的有效工具。然而,这些系统往往低估了近期病例的存活率,尤其是短期预后。更新评分标准可能是必要的,以反映癌症治疗的进步和延长患者的生存期。

Background: This study aimed to determine whether the association of knee extensor strength symmetry and psychological factors with single-leg hop distance (SLHD) differs according to recovery of knee extensor strength after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction with hamstring autograft.

Methods: Patients who underwent primary ACL reconstruction with knee function test results at 12 months after the surgery were included. Isokinetic knee extensor strength and SLHD were assessed, and the limb symmetry index (LSI) were calculated. Tampa scale for kinesiophobia-11 (TSK-11) score and ACL-Return to Sport after Injury (ACL-RSI) score were measured as psychological factors. The patients were divided into two groups according to the LSI of knee extensor strength: at least 80 % (the High group) or less than 80 % (the Low group). Multivariable liner regression analyses were conducted with the LSI of the SLHD as dependent variable, and the LSI of knee extensor strength and the psychological factors as independent variables for the High and Low groups, respectively.

Results: Of the 251 patients, 163 patients were included in the High group, and 88 patients were included in the Low group. In the High group, the psychological factors were significantly associated with the SLHD, whereas the LSI of knee extensor strength was not associated. Conversely, in the Low group, the LSI of knee extensor strength was significantly associated with SLHD, whereas the psychological factors were not associated.

Conclusion: The association of knee extensor strength symmetry and psychological factors with SLHD differs according to knee extensor strength recovery after ACL reconstruction.

背景:本研究旨在探讨自体腘绳肌腱重建前交叉韧带(ACL)后,膝关节伸肌力量对称性和心理因素与单腿跳跃距离(SLHD)的关系是否因膝关节伸肌力量恢复而有所不同。方法:纳入术后12个月膝关节功能检查结果的原发性前交叉韧带重建患者。评估等速膝关节伸肌力量和SLHD,计算肢体对称指数(LSI)。以坦帕运动恐惧症-11量表(TSK-11)评分和acl -损伤后运动恢复(ACL-RSI)评分作为心理因素。根据膝关节伸肌强度的LSI将患者分为两组:≥80%(高组)和小于80%(低组)。以SLHD的LSI为因变量,高组和低组分别以膝关节伸肌力量LSI和心理因素为自变量,进行多变量线性回归分析。结果:251例患者中,高组163例,低组88例。在High组中,心理因素与SLHD显著相关,而膝关节伸肌力量的LSI无相关。相反,在Low组中,膝关节伸肌力量的LSI与SLHD显著相关,而心理因素与SLHD无关。结论:前交叉韧带重建后,膝关节伸肌力量对称性及心理因素与SLHD的关系因膝关节伸肌力量恢复的不同而不同。

Introduction: The relative safety and effectiveness of percutaneous versus open A1 pulley release for trigger finger remain unclear. This systematic review (SR) and meta-analysis (MA) of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) compares these two techniques and evaluates the potential benefits of ultrasound guidance in percutaneous release.

Materials and methods: Following PRISMA guidelines, this SR and MA was conducted of RCTs published up to August 11, 2025. PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library were searched to identify studies comparing percutaneous release with open surgery for trigger finger. Outcomes assessed included function, pain, complications, and revision rates at immediate (1 week), short-term (<1 month), mid-term (3 months), and long-term (6 months) follow-up. Subgroup analysis examined ultrasound-guided versus non-ultrasound-guided percutaneous release.

Results: Fourteen RCTs involving 996 patients were included. Percutaneous release demonstrated significantly better outcomes in immediate (mean difference (MD): 24.94, 95 % CI: 11.82-38.06), short-term (MD: 15.08, 95 % CI: 10.25-19.92), and mid-term (MD: 7.27, 95 % CI: 2.36-12.19) Q-DASH scores, as well as time to return to work (MD: 12.82 days, 95 % CI: 10.00-15.63), and duration of postoperative analgesic use (MD: 4.66 days, 95 % CI: 1.77-7.55) (all p < 0.05). No significant differences were observed in long-term outcomes, including DASH scores, grip strength, motion, immediate and mid-term VAS, complications, or revision rates.

Conclusion: Both percutaneous release and open surgery are effective treatments for trigger finger. Percutaneous release provides faster functional recovery, earlier return to daily activities, and reduced analgesic use, while maintaining comparable safety to open surgery.

导读:对于扳机指,经皮与开放式A1滑轮松解的相对安全性和有效性尚不清楚。本文对随机对照试验(rct)进行了系统综述(SR)和荟萃分析(MA),比较了这两种技术,并评估了超声引导经皮释放的潜在益处。材料和方法:遵循PRISMA指南,本SR和MA是根据截至2025年8月11日发表的随机对照试验进行的。检索PubMed, Embase和Cochrane图书馆,以确定比较经皮释放与开放手术治疗扳机指的研究。评估的结果包括功能、疼痛、并发症和近期(1周)和短期(结果:14项随机对照试验,涉及996例患者)的翻修率。经皮释放在立即(平均差值(MD): 24.94, 95% CI: 11.82-38.06)、短期(MD: 15.08, 95% CI: 10.25-19.92)和中期(MD: 7.27, 95% CI: 2.36-12.19) Q-DASH评分、重返工作时间(MD: 12.82天,95% CI: 10.00-15.63)和术后镇痛药使用时间(MD: 4.66天,95% CI: 1.77-7.55)方面均表现出较好的疗效(均p < 0.05)。在包括DASH评分、握力、运动、即时和中期VAS、并发症或翻修率在内的长期结局方面没有观察到显著差异。结论:经皮释放和开放手术是治疗扳机指的有效方法。经皮释放提供更快的功能恢复,更早地恢复日常活动,减少止痛药的使用,同时保持与开放手术相当的安全性。

Aims: Rapid identification of the causative microorganisms of osteoarticular infections is essential for successful treatment. BIOFIRE® FilmArray® Joint Infection Panel (JI panel), a fully automated multiplex PCR panel, can rapidly detect pathogens and antimicrobial resistance genes in the synovial joints in patients with acute osteoarticular infections. Accordingly, this study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic method of the JI panel in patients with osteoarticular infections.

Methods: Synovial fluid samples were collected from patients with suspected osteoarticular infections. Fifty-five samples from 49 patients were analysed. The JI panel results were compared with those obtained using conventional culture methods.

Results: The sensitivities of the JI panel and culture for detecting microorganisms were 55 and 61 %, respectively, while the specificities were both 100 %. For patients with osteoarticular infections (n = 23) and positive culture or JI panel, the agreement rate between the JI panel and culture was 65 %. In five samples (22 %), the culture was positive, but the JI panel was negative. In three of the five JI panel-negative specimens (13 %), the bacteria identified in the culture were not included in the panel design. Three culture-negative specimens were JI panel-positive. Significantly higher sensitivity (70 % vs. 55 %; P = 0.008) was observed with the combined JI panel and culture than with the JI panel alone.

Conclusion: The JI panel is a useful technique to identify causative bacteria rapidly and automatically, but the combination of the JI panel and culture methods is recommended because some pathogens are not included in the JI panel.

Level of evidence: Diagnostic level III.

目的:快速鉴定骨关节感染的致病微生物对成功治疗至关重要。BIOFIRE®FilmArray®关节感染面板(JI Panel)是一种全自动多重PCR检测面板,可快速检测急性骨关节感染患者滑膜关节内的病原体和抗菌耐药基因。因此,本研究旨在评价JI面板对骨关节感染患者的诊断方法。方法:采集疑似骨关节感染患者的滑液标本。分析了49例患者的55个样本。将JI面板结果与常规培养方法获得的结果进行比较。结果:JI平板和培养物检测微生物的灵敏度分别为55%和61%,特异性均为100%。对于骨关节感染患者(n = 23),培养或JI面板阳性,JI面板与培养的符合率为65%。在5个样本(22%)中,培养呈阳性,但JI面板呈阴性。在5个JI阴性标本中,有3个(13%)在培养中发现的细菌未包括在样本设计中。3例培养阴性标本为JI面板阳性。与单独使用JI面板相比,联合使用JI面板和培养的灵敏度明显更高(70% vs 55%; P = 0.008)。结论:冀菌法是一种快速、自动鉴定病原菌的技术,但由于冀菌法中不包括某些病原菌,建议将冀菌法与培养法结合使用。证据等级:诊断级III。

Background

Condoliase is a chemonucleolytic agent approved in Japan for the treatment of lumbar disc herniation (LDH). There had been no follow-up evaluation of its long-term effects on discs covering a period exceeding 10 years.

Methods

The present study evaluated the 10-year post-dose outcomes of patients treated with condoliase during the phase III trial in terms of neurological results, Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), X-ray findings (disc height, posterior intervertebral angle, vertebral body translation), and magnetic resonance image findings (Modic classification, Pfirrmann grade).

Results

Among the 82 patients treated with condoliase during the phase III trial, 37 (45.1 %) were available for the 10-year post-dose follow-up in the present study. At 10 years post-dose, low back pain and leg pain were observed in 15 (40.5 %) and 6 (16.2 %) of 37 patients, and the number of patients with positive straight leg raise test, hypesthesia, muscle weakness, and deep tendon hyporeflexia were 1 (2.7 %), 2 (5.4 %), 0 (0 %), and 8 (21.6 %), respectively; mean ODI was 8.6, with 32/37 (86.5 %) patients having ODI of 0 %–20 %; 8 (21.6 %) patients had disc height decreased by ≥ 30 %; 1 patient had posterior intervertebral angle of ≥5° and 1 had vertebral body translation of ≥3 mm. Although 5 patients (13.5 %) underwent lumbar surgery after receiving condoliase, no patient underwent surgery for spinal instability. In the Modic classification, the number of patients with “Type 0,” “Type 1,” and “Type 3” decreased, while those with “Type 2” increased compared to evaluations conducted at 1-year post-dose. For Pfirrmann grade, the number of patients with “Grade IV” decreased and those with “Grade V″ increased from 1 to 10 years post-dose.

Conclusions

No significant imaging findings necessitating surgery were observed, suggesting that chemonucleolysis with condoliase remains a safe and effective treatment option for LDH over the long term.
背景:慰问酶是日本批准用于治疗腰椎间盘突出症(LDH)的化学溶核剂。目前还没有对其超过10年的椎间盘长期影响的后续评价。方法:本研究从神经学结果、Oswestry残疾指数(ODI)、x线表现(椎间盘高度、后椎间角、椎体平移)和磁共振图像表现(modc分类、Pfirrmann分级)等方面评估了III期试验期间接受吊吊病治疗的患者10年给药后的结果。结果:在III期试验期间接受慰问治疗的82例患者中,37例(45.1%)可在本研究中进行10年给药后随访。给药后10年,37例患者中有15例(40.5%)和6例(16.2%)出现腰痛和腿痛,直腿抬高试验阳性患者1例(2.7%),感觉减退患者2例(5.4%),肌无力患者0例(0%),深腱反射减退患者8例(21.6%);平均ODI为8.6,32/37(86.5%)患者ODI为0 - 20%;8例(21.6%)患者椎间盘高度下降≥30%;1例后椎间角≥5°,1例椎体移位≥3mm。虽然5例患者(13.5%)在接受吊唁后进行了腰椎手术,但没有患者因脊柱不稳定而进行手术。在Modic分类中,与给药后1年进行的评估相比,“0型”、“1型”和“3型”患者数量减少,而“2型”患者数量增加。对于Pfirrmann分级,从给药后1年到10年,“IV级”患者数量减少,“V级″”患者数量增加。结论:没有观察到明显的影像学结果需要手术,这表明在长期内,使用吊顶酶进行化学核溶解仍然是LDH安全有效的治疗选择。

Background

Patient satisfaction is an essential metric for evaluating treatment outcomes for LSS, both for patients and for their primary physicians. However, the Zurich Claudication Questionnaire (ZCQ) is the only representative patient-reported outcome measure that evaluates satisfaction. To develop a model using machine learning to predict postoperative satisfaction among older patients with lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) based on preoperative and postoperative scores of the Japanese Orthopedic Association Back Pain Evaluation Questionnaire (JOABPEQ).

Methods

The training dataset was composed of time-course data of ZCQ and JOABPEQ scores from patients aged ≥65 years who underwent LSS surgery at a university hospital. The validation dataset included data from patients with LSS treated at a private orthopedic clinic. A linear support vector machine classifier was trained to predict achievement of a “Satisfied” state from preoperative and postoperative JOABPEQ scores. Internal validation was carried out via leave-one-out cross-validation, and external validation using a separate dataset to assess the accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, F1 score, and area under the receiver operating characteristics curve (AUROC). Variable importance was analyzed using model class reliance.

Results

A total of 232 and 66 individuals were included in the training and validation datasets, respectively. The machine-learning model exhibited an accuracy of 0.72, sensitivity of 0.75, specificity of 0.69, and AUROC of 0.82. Psychological disorder and walking ability were identified through permutation importance analysis as key factors for satisfaction. External validation on an independent dataset demonstrated comparable accuracy (0.76), sensitivity (0.83), and AUROC (0.75), although the specificity decreased (0.42).

Conclusions

The machine learning model presented here can predict the postoperative satisfaction score on the ZCQ from preoperative and postoperative JOABPEQ scores, highlighting its potential for broader application in clinical settings.
背景:患者满意度是评估LSS治疗结果的重要指标,无论是对患者还是对其主治医生。然而,苏黎世跛行问卷(ZCQ)是唯一具有代表性的患者报告的评估满意度的结果测量。基于日本骨科协会背痛评估问卷(JOABPEQ)的术前和术后评分,开发一个使用机器学习预测老年腰椎管狭窄(LSS)患者术后满意度的模型。方法:训练数据集由年龄≥65岁在某大学医院行LSS手术的患者的ZCQ和JOABPEQ评分的时程数据组成。验证数据集包括在一家私人骨科诊所治疗的LSS患者的数据。通过训练线性支持向量机分类器来预测术前和术后JOABPEQ评分是否达到“满意”状态。内部验证通过留一交叉验证进行,外部验证使用单独的数据集评估准确性、灵敏度、特异性、F1评分和受试者工作特征曲线下面积(AUROC)。利用模型类依赖分析变量重要性。结果:共纳入训练数据集232人,纳入验证数据集66人。机器学习模型的准确率为0.72,灵敏度为0.75,特异性为0.69,AUROC为0.82。通过排列重要性分析,确定心理障碍和行走能力为满意度的关键因素。在独立数据集上的外部验证显示出相当的准确性(0.76)、灵敏度(0.83)和AUROC(0.75),尽管特异性降低了(0.42)。结论:本文提出的机器学习模型可以通过术前和术后JOABPEQ评分预测术后ZCQ满意度评分,突出了其在临床环境中更广泛应用的潜力。

Introduction

Cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) is a degenerative condition caused by spinal cord compression, leading to significant neurological impairments. While decompression surgery is the gold standard for treating CSM, recovery is often incomplete, prompting the need for adjunct therapies. Erythropoietin (EPO), widely used for anemia treatment, has shown beneficial effects on the nervous system. This study evaluates the combined effects of decompression surgery and EPO administration in a rat model of compressive myelopathy.

Methods

We developed a rat model of compressive myelopathy using a gradually expanding polymer sheet at C4–C5 levels. Rats were divided into three groups: Control (sham surgery, weekly saline injections), Decompression (decompression surgery, weekly saline injections), and Decompression + EPO (decompression surgery, weekly EPO injections). Motor function, myelination, and axonal integrity were evaluated over eight weeks using Basso, Beattie, and Bresnahan (BBB) scores, grid runway tests, and histological analyses.

Results

The decompression + EPO group exhibited significantly better motor function, with higher BBB scores and fewer hindlimb drops in grid runway tests compared to the Control group. Histological analyses revealed enhanced myelination in the corticospinal tract, as shown by Luxol Fast Blue (LFB) staining and myelin basic protein (MBP) staining, along with increased axonal growth marked by growth-associated protein 43 (GAP-43) expression.

Conclusion

Combining decompression surgery with EPO administration significantly improved motor recovery and promoted spinal cord myelination in a rat model of compressive myelopathy. These findings suggest EPO as a promising adjunct to surgical treatment in CSM, warranting further clinical investigation.
脊髓型颈椎病(CSM)是一种由脊髓压迫引起的退行性疾病,导致严重的神经损伤。虽然减压手术是治疗脊髓型颈椎病的金标准,但恢复往往不完全,这促使需要辅助治疗。促红细胞生成素(EPO)广泛用于贫血治疗,对神经系统有良好的作用。本研究评估减压手术和EPO给药对压缩性脊髓病大鼠模型的联合作用。方法:我们在C4-C5水平使用逐渐扩大的聚合物片建立了大鼠压缩性脊髓病模型。将大鼠分为对照组(假手术,每周生理盐水注射)、减压组(减压手术,每周生理盐水注射)和减压+ EPO组(减压手术,每周EPO注射)。运动功能、髓鞘形成和轴突完整性在8周内通过Basso、Beattie和Bresnahan (BBB)评分、网格跑道测试和组织学分析进行评估。结果:与对照组相比,减压+ EPO组表现出更好的运动功能,BBB评分更高,后肢在网格跑道测试中的下降更少。组织学分析显示皮质脊髓束髓鞘形成增强,Luxol Fast Blue (LFB)染色和髓鞘碱性蛋白(MBP)染色显示,同时生长相关蛋白43 (GAP-43)表达的轴突生长增加。结论:减压手术联合EPO治疗可显著改善压缩性脊髓病大鼠的运动恢复,促进脊髓髓鞘形成。这些发现表明EPO作为CSM手术治疗的一种有希望的辅助手段,值得进一步的临床研究。
