Cross-sectional Study. ⋯ According to the study data, proprioceptive sensory and motor control dysfunction in AIS is predicted to develop independently of spinal deformity.

To evaluate the clinical efficacy of surgery in Kummell's disease (KD) to help us select the optimum surgical strategy. ⋯ The mainstream KD classification system has shortcomings, and completely following its treatment strategy may lead to poor prognosis. Compared to PKP, PVP is a better choice for type I patients. OCS is one of the important factors in surgical selection for type II patients. The Li's type III is mainly treated with PDOF but the overall condition of the body needs to be evaluated.

Aims to establish the superiority of our proposed model over the state-of-the-art vertebra-focused landmark detection network (VFLDNet) in automating Cobb angle estimation from spinal radiographs. ⋯ Our model emerges as the superior choice for automated Cobb angle estimation, particularly in assessing major curve and moderate to severe scoliosis, underscoring its potential to revolutionize clinical workflows and enhance patient care.

Owing to the unknow types of infiltrating macrophages and the corresponded factors, we aimed to investigate the specific types of infiltrating macrophages involved in HLF and the expression of macrophage-related factors. ⋯ The infiltration of M2 macrophages may be involved in HLF, while involvement of M1 macrophages may only occur early in inflammation. The expression of extracellular matrix proteins and macrophage-related factors was increased. Aging may also be associated with HLF.

To investigate the association between acute pain trajectory over one week and patient-reported outcomes (PRO) at 6-months following lumbar surgery in patients with lumbar degenerative disease (LDD). ⋯ The results of this study show that acute pain trajectory is significantly associated with poor PRO scores 6-months after lumbar surgery. Patients with slower pain relief or worsening pain were associated with poor PRO scores.
