Autophagy in spinal ligament fibroblasts: evidence and possible implications for ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament

Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research, 2020
Background The molecular mechanisms of ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) remain to be elucidated. The aim of the present study was to investigate the autophagy of spinal ligament fibroblasts derived from patients with OPLL and to

Association of miR-146a, miR-149, miR-196a2, and miR-499 Polymorphisms with Ossification of the Posterior Longitudinal Ligament of the Cervical Spine. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) of the spine is considered a multifactorial and polygenic disease. We aimed to investigate the association between four single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of pre-miRNAs [miR-146aC>G ...

Experimental ARoF System Based on OPLL Mm-Wave Generation for Beyond 5G [PDF]

, 2021
We experimentally analyze the ARoF based on OPLL mm-Wave generation performance for 5G fronthaul. Remarkable performance improvements are achieved for all 5G NR numerologies and different OPLL configurations despite their inherently high phase noise ...

Effect of Keeping Caspar Retractor During Prestige LP Cervical Disc Implantation on Intra‐ and Postoperative Outcomes

Orthopaedic Surgery, Volume 18, Issue 11, Page 2428-2439, November 2026.
This study evaluated the effect of retaining the Caspar retractor during Prestige LP implantation in cervical disc arthroplasty (CDA). Although the manufacturer recommends removal, removal caused vertebral instability during endplate drilling/cutting. Retaining the retractor reduced angle fluctuations, implantation time, and fluoroscopy usage, though ...

A case of cervical OPLL and DISH mimicking stroke

Surgical Neurology International, 2022
Background: Ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) is a progressive disorder that mostly involves the cervical spine. It is more prevalent in East Asian countries. Patients typically present with the gradual onset of myelopathy, while about 5% show rapid progression.

Expression of COL6A1 in Tumor Matrix of Cholangiocarcinoma and Its Mechanism of Tumor Progression

Cancer Reports, Volume 9, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA), a malignant tumor originating from the bile duct epithelial cells, is characterized by aggressive invasion and poor prognosis. Abnormal remodeling of the tumor microenvironment plays a pivotal role in its disease progression.

National Trends and Risk Factors for Dysphagia After Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion

The Laryngoscope, Volume 136, Issue 9, Page 3918-3931, September 2026.
From 2016 to 2023, inpatient anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) volume declined 52.2% while postoperative dysphagia rates increased 11.4% annually. Analysis of 496,425 cases demonstrated that dysphagia risk varied markedly by surgical indication, with cervical diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis, cervical spine fracture, and ...

Review of Radiological Parameters, Imaging Characteristics, and Their Effect on Optimal Treatment Approaches and Surgical Outcomes for Cervical Ossification of the Posterior Longitudinal Ligament [PDF]

Neurospine, 2019
Determining the optimal surgical method for cervical ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) is challenging. The surgical indication should be made based on not only radiological findings, but also the patient’s age, preoperative ...
