Inhibition of Fibroblast Activation Protein‐α Ameliorates Intervertebral Disc Degeneration via Reduced Vascular Invasion in Cartilage Endplate

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
Schematic illustration showing that FAP‐α promoted angiogenesis, cytokine release and ECM degradation in the CEP degeneration of the intervertebral disc through upregulating the PI3K/Akt/HIF‐1α/VEGFA pathway. ABSTRACT Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) is a primary cause of low back pain, with the development of new blood vessels being a key ...

The Cross-Sectional Areas and Anterior-Posterior Balance of the Cervical Paraspinal Muscles in Dropped Head Syndrome and Cervical Spondylotic Myelopathy: A Propensity Score-Matched Analysis. [PDF]

JOR Spine
Magnetic resonance images depicting dropped head syndrome. ABSTRACT Introduction Dropped head syndrome (DHS) is characterized by weakness of the neck extensor muscles. However, few studies have assessed the cross‐sectional areas (CSAs) of the cervical paraspinal muscles (CPM) and their anterior–posterior balance in DHS.

Cone beam computed tomographic myelography in horses with cervical vertebral compressive myelopathy

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background While computed tomographic (CT) myelography is increasingly available and has been evaluated in alive horses, objective criteria for diagnosing cervical vertebral compressive myelopathy (CVCM) are lacking. Objectives To establish morphometric dimensions of the cervical vertebral canal and spinal cords from horses with CVCM and ...

The Cervical Vertebral Bone Quality Score Is a Novel Reliable Index Reflecting the Condition of Paraspinal Muscles and Predicting Loss of Cervical Lordosis After Open‐Door Laminoplasty

Orthopaedic Surgery, Volume 17, Issue 5, Page 1406-1417, May 2025.
There is a close correlation between C‐VBQ scores and the cervical deep extensors, deep flexors, and overall paraspinal muscles relative cross‐sectional area (RCSA) and degree of fat infiltration (DFF). The C‐VBQ score is a comprehensive parameter reflecting the quality of cervical bone and paraspinal muscles.

C2 Slope as an Independent Predictor of Cervical Lordosis Loss Following Laminoplasty

Orthopaedic Surgery, EarlyView.
Cervical radiographic measurements demonstrate that the C2 slope is an independent predictor of cervical lordosis loss after laminoplasty, aiding preoperative risk assessment and surgical decision‐making. ABSTRACT Objective Postoperative loss of cervical lordosis remains a common and clinically relevant complication following laminoplasty, negatively ...
