Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE Intraoperative electroencephalogram (EEG) patterns associated with postoperative delirium (POD) development have been studied, but the differences in EEG recordings between sevoflurane- and desflurane-induced anesthesia have not been clarified. We aimed to distinguish the EEG characteristics of sevoflurane and desflurane in relation to POD development. DESIGN AND PATIENTS We collected frontal four-channel EEG data during the maintenance of anesthesia from 148 elderly patients who received sevoflurane (n = 77) or desflurane (n = 71); 30 patients were diagnosed with delirium postoperatively. The patients were divided into four subgroups based on anesthetics and delirium status: sevoflurane delirium (n = 17), sevoflurane non-delirium (n = 60), desflurane delirium (n = 13), and desflurane non-delirium (n = 58). We compared spectral power, coherence, and pairwise phase consistency (PPC) between sevoflurane and desflurane, and between non-delirium and delirium groups for each anesthetic. MAIN RESULTS In patients without POD, the sevoflurane non-delirium group exhibited higher EEG spectral power across 8.5-35 Hz (99.5% CI bootstrap analysis) and higher PPC from alpha to gamma bands (p < 0.005) compared to the desflurane non-delirium group. Conversely, in patients with POD, no significant EEG differences were observed between the sevoflurane and desflurane delirium groups. For the sevoflurane-induced patients, the sevoflurane delirium group had significantly lower power within 7.5-31.5 Hz (99.5% CI bootstrap analysis), reduced coherence over 8.9-23.8 Hz (99.5% CI bootstrap analysis), and lower PPC values in the alpha band (p < 0.005) compared with the sevoflurane non-delirium group. For the desflurane-induced patients, there were no significant differences in the EEG patterns between delirium and non-delirium groups. CONCLUSIONS In normal patients without POD, sevoflurane demonstrates a higher power spectrum and prefrontal connectivity than desflurane. Furthermore, reduced frontal alpha power, coherence, and connectivity of intraoperative EEG could be associated with an increased risk of POD. These intraoperative EEG characteristics associated with POD are more noticeable in sevoflurane-induced anesthesia than in desflurane-induced anesthesia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cortical bone trajectory (CBT) technique has a theoretical benefit for patients with osteoporosis, and leads to reduce screw loosening. However, there are no reports of complications and outcomes of CBT. METHODS Consecutive patients (n = 34) with degenerative lumbar spines who underwent PLIF between December 2013 and December 2015 and were followed up for at least six months were analyzed in this study. Bone mineral density, fusion rate, cage subsidence, C-arm, screw loosening, screw violation, trajectory angle of the screw, Hounsfield unit and extent of facetectomy were examined. Outcome assessments were obtained in all patients preoperatively and postoperatively. RESULTS There were 34 patients and 73 screw levels. After the surgery with cortical screw fixation and PLIF, patients had good clinical outcomes. However, ten of the 34 patients had problems with cortical screw fixation such as screw loosening or cage migration. In the patients with screw loosening, two underwent revision surgery due to cage migration, and one had an infection. Incorrect trajectory angles of the screw were significantly related with screw loosening. Low BMD and HU at screw fixation level were associated with screw loosening. Cage subsidence was statistically related with clinical outcomes. CONCLUSION The cortical screw offers improved clinical outcomes since it requires minimal muscle dissection. However, we have experienced some early complications using this technique. To reduce complications such as screw loosening, an exact insertion angle of the screw and osteoporotic bone quality should be considered carefully.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to assess the degree of interest in robot-assisted spine surgery (RASS) among residents and to investigate the learning curve for beginners performing robotic surgery. METHODS We conducted a survey to assess awareness and interest in RASS among young neurosurgery residents. Subsequently, we offered a hands-on training program using a dummy to educate one resident. After completing the program, the trained resident performed spinal fusion surgery with robotic assistance under the supervision of a mentor. The clinical outcomes and learning curve associated with robotic surgery were then analyzed. RESULTS Neurosurgical residents had limited opportunities to participate in spinal surgery during their training. Despite this, there was a significant interest in the emerging field of robotic surgery. A trained resident performed RASS under the supervision of a senior surgeon. A total of 166 screw insertions were attempted in 28 patients, with 2 screws failing due to skiving. According to the Gertzbein-Robbins classification, 85.54% of the screws were rated as grade A, 11.58% as grade B, 0.6% as grade C, and 1.2% as grade D. The clinical acceptance rate was approximately 96.99%, which is comparable to the results reported by senior experts and time per screw statistically significantly decreased as experience was gained. CONCLUSION RASS can be performed with high accuracy within a relatively short timeframe, if residents receive adequate training.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to compare the accuracy of robotic spine surgery and conventional pedicle screw fixation in lumbar degenerative disease. We evaluated clinical and radiological outcomes to demonstrate the noninferiority of robotic surgery. METHODS This study employed propensity score matching and included 3 groups: robot-assisted mini-open posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) (robotic surgery, RS), c-arm guided minimally invasive surgery transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (C-arm guidance, CG), and freehand open PLIF (free of guidance, FG) (54 patients each). The mean follow-up period was 2.2 years. The preoperative spine condition was considered. Accuracy was evaluated using the Gertzbein-Robbins scale (GRS score) and Babu classification (Babu score). Radiological outcomes included adjacent segmental disease (ASD) and mechanical failure. Clinical outcomes were assessed based on the visual analogue scale, Oswestry Disability Index, 36-item Short Form health survey, and clinical ASD rate. RESULTS Accuracy was higher in the RS group (p < 0.01) than in other groups. The GRS score was lower in the CG group, whereas the Babu score was lower in the FG group compared with the RS group. No significant differences were observed in radiological and clinical outcomes among the 3 groups. Regression analysis identified preoperative facet degeneration, GRS and Babu scores as significant variables for radiological and clinical ASD. Mechanical failure was influenced by the GRS score and patients' age. CONCLUSION This study showed the superior accuracy of robotic spine surgery compared with conventional techniques. When combined with minimally invasive surgery, robotic surgery is advantageous with reduced ligament and muscle damage associated with traditional open procedures.

Abstract
Introduction Any persistent degree of cognitive impairment in older adults is a concern as it can progress to dementia. This study aimed to determine the incidence and risk factors for early postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) in elderly patients undergoing spine surgery. Methods Patients were enrolled from a previous prospective observational study after screening for normal cognitive function using the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE). Cognitive function was evaluated before surgery and at 1 week, month, and year post-surgery using MMSE and Montreal Cognitive Assessment scores (MoCA). Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) was determined using the MoCA scores adjusted for age. POCD was defined as a drop of three or more points on the MMSE 1 week post-surgery. Multivariate logistic analysis was performed to identify POCD risk factors. Results A total of 427 patients were included. Eighty-five (20%) had pre-existing MCI. The MCI group showed lower MoCA scores at each time point (baseline, 1 week after surgery, 1 month after surgery, 1 year after surgery) compared to the non-MCI group. Those in the MCI group had a higher rate of admission to intensive care unit after surgery, postoperative delirium, and POCD 1 week post-surgery, than those in the non-MCI group (16.5% vs. 6.7%, p = 0.008; 27.1% vs. 15.8%, p = 0.024; and 18.8% vs. 8.2%, p < 0.001, respectively). Among them, 10.3% were assessed for POCD on postoperative day 7 and self-reported poor social roles and physical functioning 1 week postoperatively. Conclusion Preoperative MCI was seen in ~20% of surgical patients aged >70 years. POCD was seen in ~20% of patients with pre-existing MCI, and ~ 10% of those without. Benzodiazepine use, significant comorbidities, pre-existing MCI, and depressive tendencies were risk factors for POCD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Recently, robotic-assisted spine surgery (RASS) has been considered a minimally invasive and relatively accurate method. In total, 495 robotic-assisted pedicle screw fixation (RAPSF) procedures were attempted on 100 patients during a 14-month period. The current study aimed to analyze the accuracy, potential risk factors, and learning curve of RAPSF. METHODS This retrospective study evaluated the position of RAPSF using the Gertzbein and Robbins scale (GRS). The accuracy was analyzed using the ratio of the clinically acceptable group (GRS grades A and B), the dissatisfying group (GRS grades C, D, and E), and the Surgical Evaluation Assistant program. The RAPSF was divided into the no-breached group (GRS grade A) and breached group (GRS grades B, C, D, and E), and the potential risk factors of RAPSF were evaluated. The learning curve was analyzed by changes in robot-used time per screw and the occurrence tendency of breached and failed screws according to case accumulation. RESULTS The clinically acceptable group in RAPSF was 98.12%. In the analysis using the Surgical Evaluation Assistant program, the tip offset was 2.37±1.89 mm, the tail offset was 3.09±1.90 mm, and the angular offset was 3.72°±2.72°. In the analysis of potential risk factors, the difference in screw fixation level (p=0.009) and segmental distance between the tracker and the instrumented level (p=0.001) between the no-breached and breached group were statistically significant, but not for the other factors. The mean difference between the no-breach and breach groups was statistically significant in terms of pedicle width (p<0.001) and tail offset (p=0.042). In the learning curve analysis, the occurrence of breached and failed screws and the robot-used time per screw screws showed a significant decreasing trend. CONCLUSION In the current study, RAPSF was highly accurate and the specific potential risk factors were not identified. However, pedicle width was presumed to be related to breached screw. Meanwhile, the robot-used time per screw and the incidence of breached and failed screws decreased with the learning curve.

Abstract
Traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) leads to Wallerian degeneration and the accompanying disruption of vasculature leads to ischemia, which damages motor and sensory function. Therefore, understanding the biological environment during regeneration is essential to promote neuronal regeneration and overcome this phenomenon. The band of Büngner is a structure of an aligned Schwann cell (SC) band that guides axon elongation providing a natural recovery environment. During axon elongation, SCs promote axon elongation while migrating along neovessels (endothelial cells [ECs]). To model this, we used extrusion 3D bioprinting to develop a multi-channel conduit (MCC) using collagen for the matrix region and sacrificial alginate to make the channel. The MCC was fabricated with a structure in which SCs and ECs were longitudinally aligned to mimic the sophisticated recovering SCI conditions. Also, we produced an MCC with different numbers of channels. The aligned SCs and ECs in the 9-channel conduit (9MCC-SE) were more biocompatible and led to more proliferation than the 5-channel conduit (5MCC-SE) in vitro. Also, the 9MCC-SE resulted in a greater healing effect than the 5MCC-SE with respect to neuronal regeneration, remyelination, inflammation, and angiogenesis in vivo. The above tissue recovery results led to motor function repair. Our results show that our 9MCC-SE model represents a new therapeutic strategy for SCI.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The risks of nonunion and subsidence are high in patients with bone density loss undergoing spinal fusion surgery. The internal application of recombinant human bone morphogenic protein 2 (rhBMP-2) in an interbody cage improves spinal fusion; however, related complications have been reported. Denosumab, a human monoclonal antibody targeting the receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B ligand (RANKL), hinders osteoblast differentiation and function. Therefore, this study aimed to observe the combined effect of the local application of rhBMP-2 in a lumbar cage and systemic RANKL inhibition on postoperative spinal fusion in patients with bone density loss undergoing posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF). METHODS This retrospective observational study included 251 consecutive patients with spinal stenosis who underwent PLIF at a single center between 2017 and 2021. Clinical outcomes were assessed, and radiographic evaluations included lumbar flexion, extension, range of motion, and subsidence. Statistical analyses were conducted to identify the combined effect of the treatment and the subsidence and spinal fusion status. RESULTS One hundred patients were included in the final analysis. Denosumab treatment significantly reduced the rate of osteolysis (p = 0.013). When denosumab was administered in combination with rhBMP-2, the fusion status remained similar; however, the incidences of postoperative osteolysis and postoperative oozing day decreased. CONCLUSION The combined use of rhBMP-2 and RANKL inhibition in patients with bone density loss can enhance bone formation after PLIF with fewer complications than rhBMP-2 alone.

Abstract
BACKGROUND CONTEXT The use of recombinant human bone morphogenetic proteins-2 (rhBMP-2) for spinal fusion has been reported to be effective. However, most studies have focused on posterolateral and anterior lumbar interbody fusion, and few have investigated posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF). PURPOSE This study aimed to determine the effectiveness and safety of the delivery of Escherichia coli-derived rhBMP-2 (E.BMP-2) with hydroxyapatite (HA) and β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) poloxamer hydrogel composite carriers for PLIF. STUDY DESIGN A retrospective study. PATIENT SAMPLE Patients who underwent 1 to 3 levels of PLIF for lumbar degenerative disc disorders between 2015 and 2020 with a follow-up of ≥1 year were enrolled. In total, 254 patients (357 levels) were included in the analysis. The evaluation was performed at each segment level. In the E.BMP-2 group, 160 patients (221 levels) received autologous local bone with E.BMP-2 (maximum 0.5 mg/level), and in the control group, 94 patients (136 levels) received only local bone graft. OUTCOME MEASURES The primary outcome of this study was to compare the X-ray and CT fusion rates between the two groups. Secondary outcomes included analysis of the patients' clinical outcomes and postoperative complications on CT scans. METHODS Clinical evaluations were performed using a visual analog scale for back pain, the Oswestry Disability Index for disability, and physical and mental component summaries of the Short Form 36-Item Form Health Survey to assess functional effects and quality of life. The fusion was evaluated using radiography and CT. On radiography, solid fusion was defined when the difference between extension and flexion was less than 5°. On CT, solid fusion was defined when the upper and lower vertebral bodies were connected by the trabecular bone (bone bridge formation). In addition, complications such as osteolysis, cage subsidence, and screw loosening were investigated using CT. RESULTS All clinical results for low back pain, disability, and quality of life in both groups were excellent and showed statistically significant improvements compared with baseline (p<.0001). According to the X-ray evaluations, fusion was achieved in 92.31% (204/221) of the patients in the E.BMP-2 group and 82.35% (112/136) of the patients in the control group (p=.0041). According to the CT evaluations, the fusion rates were 93.21% (206/221) and 88.24% (120/136) in the E.BMP-2 and control groups (p=.1048), respectively. Except for screw loosening, which had a significantly higher incidence in the control group (p=.0014), the rates of most postoperative complications were not significantly different between the groups. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrated that the adjunctive use of a low dose of E.BMP-2 with HA and β-TCP hydrogel can effectively promote bone fusion, making it a promising option for patients with limited autograft availability or compromised bone quality in PLIF.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of pedicle screw placement in patients undergoing percutaneous pedicle screw fixation with robotic guidance, using a newly developed 3-dimensional quantitative measurement system. The study also aimed to assess the clinical feasibility of the robotic system in the field of spinal surgery. METHODS A total of 113 patients underwent pedicle screw insertion using the CUVIS-spine pedicle screw guide system (CUREXO Inc.). Intraoperative O-arm images were obtained, and screw insertion pathways were planned accordingly. Image registration was performed using paired-point registration and iterative closest point methods. The accuracy of the robotic-guided pedicle screw insertion was assessed using 3-dimensional offset calculation and the Gertzbein-Robbins system (GRS). RESULTS A total of 448 screws were inserted in the 113 patients. The image registration success rate was 95.16%. The average error of entry offset was 2.86 mm, target offset was 2.48 mm, depth offset was 1.99 mm, and angular offset was 3.07°. According to the GRS grading system, 88.39% of the screws were classified as grade A, 9.60% as grade B, 1.56% as grade C, 0.22% as grade D, and 0.22% as grade E. Clinically acceptable screws (GRS grade A or B) accounted for 97.54% of the total, with no reported neurologic complications. CONCLUSION Our study demonstrated that pedicle screw insertion using the novel robot-assisted navigation method is both accurate and safe. Further prospective studies are necessary to explore the potential benefits of this robot-assisted technique in comparison to conventional approaches.

Abstract
Recent advances in the understanding of Waldenström macroglobulinemia (WM) biology have impacted the development of effective novel agents and improved our knowledge of how the genomic background of WM may influence selection of therapy. Consensus Panel 7 (CP7) of the 11th International Workshop on WM was convened to examine the current generation of completed and ongoing clinical trials involving novel agents, consider updated data on WM genomics, and make recommendations on the design and prioritization of future clinical trials. CP7 considers limited duration and novel-novel agent combinations to be the priority for the next generation of clinical trials. Evaluation of MYD88, CXCR4 and TP53 at baseline in the context of clinical trials is crucial. The common chemoimmunotherapy backbones, bendamustine-rituximab (BR) and dexamethasone, rituximab and cyclophosphamide (DRC), may be considered standard-of-care for the frontline comparative studies. Key unanswered questions include the definition of frailty in WM; the importance of attaining a very good partial response or better (≥VGPR), within stipulated time frame, in determining survival outcomes; and the optimal treatment of WM populations with special needs.

Abstract
UNLABELLED To elucidate the association of coffee and bone health would help fracture risk reduction via dietary intervention. Although those who had higher coffee consumption were less likely to have osteoporosis, the associations between coffee consumption and fracture risk need further investigations with better study designs. INTRODUCTION The associations between coffee consumption and the risk of osteoporosis and fracture remain inconclusive. We aimed to better quantify these associations by conducting meta-analyses of observational studies. METHODS Relevant studies were systematically searched on PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane library, and Embase Database up to November 25, 2021. The odds ratio (OR) or relative risk (RR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) was pooled and a dose-response analysis was performed. RESULTS Four studies with 7114 participants for osteoporosis and thirteen studies with 391,956 participants for fracture incidence were included in the meta-analyses. High versus low coffee consumption was associated with a lower risk of osteoporosis [pooled OR (95% CI): 0.79 (0.65-0.92)], while it was non-significantly associated with fracture incidence [pooled OR (95% CI): 0.86 (0.67-1.05) at hip and 0.89 (0.42-1.36) at non-hip]. A non-linear association between the level of coffee consumption and hip fracture incidence was shown (P = 0.004). The pooled RR (95% CI) of hip fracture risk in those who consumed 1, 2-3, 4, and ≥ 9 cups of coffee per day was 0.92 (0.87-0.97), 0.89 (0.83-0.95), 0.91 (0.85-0.98), and 1.10 (0.76-1.59), respectively. The significance in the association between coffee consumption and the hip fracture incidence decreased in those studies that had larger sample size, higher quality, and more adjustments. CONCLUSIONS A dose-dependent relationship may exist between coffee consumption and hip fracture incidence. The effect of high versus low coffee consumption was influenced by study designs. Further studies with dedicated designs are needed to confirm the independent effects of coffee consumption on bone health.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this retrospective study was to evaluate radiological and clinical outcomes in patients undergoing cervical disc arthroplasty (CDA) for cervical degenerative disc disease. The results may assist in surgical decision-making and enable more effective and safer implementation of cervical arthroplasty. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 125 patients who were treated with CDA between 2006 and 2019 were assessed. Radiological measurements and clinical outcomes included the visual analogue scale (VAS), the Neck Disability Index (NDI), and the Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) myelopathy score assessment preoperatively and at ≥2 years of follow-up. RESULTS The mean follow-up period was 38 months (range, 25-114 months). Radiographic data demonstrated mobility at both the index and adjacent levels, with no signs of hypermobility at an adjacent level. There was a non-significant loss of cervical global motion and range of motion (ROM) of the functional spinal unit at the operated level, as well as the upper and lower adjacent disc levels, compared to preoperative status. The cervical global and segmental angle significantly increased. Postoperative neck VAS, NDI, and JOA scores showed meaningful improvements after one- and two-level CDA. We experienced a 29.60% incidence of heterotrophic ossification and a 3.20% reoperation rate due to cervical instability, implant subsidence, or osteolysis. CONCLUSION CDA is an effective surgical technique for optimizing clinical outcomes and radiological results. In particular, the preservation of cervical ROM with an artificial prosthesis at adjacent and index levels and improvement in cervical global alignment could reduce revision rates due to adjacent segment degeneration.

Abstract
Laminectomy with instrumented fusion (LF) has demonstrated better prevention of ossification of posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) growth compared to laminoplasty (LP). There remains uncertainty, however, as to which surgical approach is more beneficial with respect to clinical outcomes and complications. We retrospectively reviewed 273 cervical OPLL patients of more than 3 levels, from the two institutions' databases, who underwent LF or LP between January 1998 and January 2016. Each 273 patient (85 with LF, 188 with LP) was assessed for postoperative neurologic and radiologic outcomes, complications and reoperations. The mean length of follow-up was 40.11 months. There were baseline differences between cohorts. Overall, postoperative JOA recovery rate at last follow up was significantly better in the LP group with similar improvement in visual analog neck score. Postoperative C2-7 Cobb angle was decreased compared to baseline for both LF and LP cohorts, but there was no significant difference between groups. Complications occurred in 19 (22.35%) LF patients, and 11 (5.85%) LP patients, with higher incidence of C5 palsy and instrumentation failure in the LF group. Four LF patients (4.71%) and five LP patients (2.66%) underwent reoperation during the follow up period.

Abstract
Profiles of 33 PFAS analytes and 12 essential and non-essential trace elements were measured in livers of stranded common dolphins (Delphinus delphis) from New Zealand. PFAS concentrations reported were largely comparable to those measured in other marine mammal species globally and composed mostly of long-chain compounds including perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS), perfluorododecanoic acid (PFDoDA), perfluorotridecanoic acid (PFTrDA) and perfluorooctanesulfonamide (FOSA). PFAS profiles did not vary significantly by location, body condition, or life history. Notably, significant positive correlations were observed within respective PFAS and trace elements. However, only negative correlations were evident between these two contaminant types, suggesting different exposure and metabolic pathways. Age-associated concentrations were found for PFTrDA and four trace elements, i.e. silver, mercury, cadmium, selenium, indicating differences in the bioaccumulation biomagnification mechanisms. Overall, our results contribute to global understanding of accumulation of PFAS by offering first insights of PFAS exposure in cetaceans living within South Pacific Australasian waters.

Abstract
The degenerative changes in the spine of the frail elderly gradually exacerbate the alignment of the spine as the degeneration progresses. This study was conducted to assess the relationship between frailty and spine sagittal alignment measured in terms of global, cervical, thoracic, and lumbo-pelvic parameters. In total, 101 patients aged 75 years and older hospitalized for spine surgery were prospectively enrolled. We evaluated spinal sagittal parameters by dividing them into global (C7 sagittal vertical axis [SVA] and T1 pelvic angle [T1PA]), cervical (the C2-7 Cobb angle, Jackson line, and C2-7 plumb line), thoracic (thoracic kyphosis [TK]), and lumbo-pelvic (pelvic tilt [PT] and pelvic incidence minus lumbar lordosis value [PI-LL]). Patient characteristics; the Fatigue, Resistance, Ambulation, Illness, Loss of Weight (FRAIL) scale; and sagittal spinal parameters were included in the analysis. Multiple regression analysis was performed to identify associations between the FRAIL scale and sagittal spinal parameters. The FRAIL scale showed correlations with global sagittal parameters (C7 SVA [β = 0.225, p = 0.029] and T1PA [β = 0.273, p = 0.008]) and lumbo-pelvic parameters (PT [β = 0.294, p = 0.004] and PI-LL [β = 0.323, p = 0.001). Cervical and thoracic parameters were not directly associated with the FRAIL scale. LL and PI-LL were associated with TK, and TK was associated with cervical parameters (the C2-7 Cobb angle, Jackson line and C2-7 plumb line). In conclusion, frailty status could be an important factor that influences sagittal spinal alignment in the elderly. In this study, it was found that frailty mainly affected the balance of lumbo-pelvic alignment, and consequently affected the balance of the whole spine.

Abstract
Objective Cervical surgery in patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) and cerebral palsy (CP) is challenging owing to the complexities of the deformity. We assessed factors affecting postoperative complications and outcomes after CSM surgery in patients with CP.
Methods Thirty-five consecutive patients with CP and CSM who underwent cervical operations between January 2006 and January 2014 were matched to 35 non-cerebral palsy (NCP) control patients. Postoperative complications and radiologic outcomes were compared between the groups. In the CP group, the Japanese Orthopaedic Association score; Oswestry neck disability index; modified Barthel index; and values for the grip and pinch, Box and Block, and Jebsen-Taylor hand function tests were obtained preand postoperatively and compared between those with and without postoperative complications.
Results Sixteen patients (16/35%) in the CP group and seven (7/35%) in the NCP group (p=0.021) had postoperative complications. Adjacent segment degeneration (p=0.021), postoperative motor weakness (p=0.037), and revisions (p=0.003) were significantly more frequent in the CP group than in the NCP group; however, instrument-related complications were not significantly higher in the CP group (7/35 vs. 5/35, p=0.280). The number of preoperative fixed cervical deformities were significantly higher in CP with postoperative complications (5/16 vs. 1/19, p=0.037). In the CP group, clinical outcomes were almost similar between those with and without postoperative complications.
Conclusion The occurrence of complications during the follow-up period was high in patients with CP. However, postoperative complications did not significantly affect clinical outcomes.

Abstract
This paper proposes an optimization method based on the RAGA model. Taking rice from a cold area as the research object, this article selects irrigation volume, nitrogen application volume, and biochar application volume as experimental factors, and rice yield, water use efficiency, greenhouse gas emission comprehensive warming potential as influencing indicators. The research design is D311 Field trials by 3 factors of 5 levels of saturation. Hence, we can obtain the data on rice yield, water use efficiency, greenhouse gas emissions and comprehensive warming potential under different levels of water and fertilizer, and biochar application, and regression equations were established respectively. The RAGA model was used to simulate the regression equations. The optimal combination of water and fertilizer, and biochar was obtained as follows: irrigation amount is 7230 m3.hm-2, nitrogen fertilizer application amount is 92.13 kg.hm-2, and biochar application amount is 30 t.hm-2. The optimal rice yield obtained under this combination is 9452.20 kg.hm-2. The water use efficiency is 1.94 kg.m-3, and the comprehensive warming potential of greenhouse gas emissions is 4546.73 kg.hm-2. The combined application of water and fertilizer, and biochar optimized by this model can provide a theoretical basis for achieving high yield, water-saving, and emission reduction of rice in cold areas, and it can also provide a reliable calculation method and idea for solving similar optimization problems in the field of agricultural production.

Abstract
Cervical disc arthroplasty (CDA) is a safe and effective option to improve clinical outcomes (e.g., NDI, VAS, and JOA) in degenerative cervical disc disease and compressive myelopathy. CDA's two main purported benefits have been that it maintains physiologic motion and thereby minimizes the biomechanical stresses placed on adjacent segments as compared to an ACDF. CDA might reduce the degeneration of adjacent segments, and the need for adjacent-level surgery. Reoperation rates of CDA have been reported to range from 1.8% to 5.4%, with a minimum 5-year follow-up. As the number of CDA procedures performed continues to increase, the need for revision surgery is also likely to increase. When performed skillfully in appropriate patients, CDA is an effective surgical technique to optimize clinical outcomes and radiological results. This review may assist surgical decision-making and enable a more effective and safer implementation of cervical arthroplasty for cervical degenerative disease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE When common hemostatic methods, such as suturing, cautery, and compression, fail to arrest bleeding during surgery, various local hemostatic agents are used. We aimed to evaluate the hemostatic efficacy and safety of CollaStat (Dalim Tissen Co. Ltd., Seoul, Korea), a novel thrombin-containing, collagen-based topical haemostatic agent used in spinal surgery, by comparing it with Floseal (Baxter Healthcare, Deerfield, Illinois, USA). METHODS We performed a randomized controlled trial in 78 patients who underwent spinal surgery. The participants were randomly assigned to either an intervention group (use of CollaStat) or a control group (use of Floseal). We compared successful haemostasis rate, time to hemostasis, length of hospital stay, amount of fluid drainage, and rate of adverse events between the 2 groups. RESULTS The hemostasis success rate was 94.87% in the intervention group and 97.44% in the control group. The hemostatic efficacy and safety of CollaStat were found to be noninferior to those of Floseal since the higher limit (11.09%) of the confidence interval (CI) for the difference with Floseal was greater than the prespecified noninferiority margin of -13%. There were no statistically significant differences at the 5% level in hemostasis time, number of hemostatic agents used, hospitalization period, and amount of drainage between the 2 groups. Also, there was no incidence of medical device-related serious adverse events or adverse events in both groups. CONCLUSIONS The hemostatic efficacy and safety of CollaStat were found to be noninferior to those of Floseal. Therefore CollaStat can be safely and effectively used in spinal surgery.

Abstract
Cognitive status has been reported to affect the peri-operative and post-operative outcomes of certain surgical procedures. This prospective study investigated the effect of preoperative cognitive impairment on the postoperative course of elderly patients (n = 122, >65 years), following spine surgery for degenerative spinal disease. Data on demographic characteristics, medical history, and blood analysis results were collected. Preoperative cognition was assessed using the mini-mental state examination, and patients were divided into three groups: normal cognition, mild cognitive impairment, and moderate-to-severe cognitive impairment. Discharge destinations (p = 0.014) and postoperative cardiopulmonary complications (p = 0.037) significantly differed based on the cognitive status. Operation time (p = 0.049), white blood cell count (p = 0.022), platelet count (p = 0.013), the mini-mental state examination score (p = 0.033), and the Beck Depression Inventory score (p = 0.041) were significantly associated with the length of hospital stay. Our investigation demonstrated that improved understanding of preoperative cognitive status may be helpful in surgical decision-making and postoperative care of elderly patients with degenerative spinal disease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this retrospective multicenter study was to compare prognostic factors for neurological recovery in patients undergoing surgery for cervical ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) based on their presenting mild, moderate, or severe myelopathy. METHODS The study included 372 consecutive patients with OPLL who underwent surgery for cervical myelopathy between 2006 and 2016 in East Asian countries with a high OPLL prevalence. Baseline and postoperative clinical outcomes were assessed using the Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) myelopathy score and recovery ratio. Radiographic assessment included occupying ratio, cervical range of motion, and sagittal alignment parameters. Patient myelopathy was classified as mild, moderate, or severe based on the preoperative JOA score. Linear and multivariate regression analyses were performed to identify patient and surgical factors associated with neurological recovery stratified by baseline myelopathy severity. RESULTS The mean follow-up period was 45.4 months (range 25-140 months). The mean preoperative and postoperative JOA scores and recovery ratios for the total cohort were 11.7 ± 3.0, 14.5 ± 2.7, and 55.2% ± 39.3%, respectively. In patients with mild myelopathy, only age and diabetes correlated with recovery. In patients with moderate to severe myelopathy, older age and preoperative increased signal intensity on T2-weighted imaging were significantly correlated with a lower likelihood of recovery, while female sex and anterior decompression with fusion (ADF) were associated with better recovery. CONCLUSIONS Various patient and surgical factors are correlated with likelihood of neurological recovery after surgical treatment for cervical OPLL, depending on the severity of presenting myelopathy. Older age, male sex, intramedullary high signal intensity, and posterior decompression are associated with less myelopathy improvement in patients with worse baseline function. Therefore, myelopathy-specific preoperative counseling regarding prognosis for postoperative long-term neurological improvement should include consideration of these individual and surgical factors.

Abstract
Angular kyphosis is an important complication after cervical laminoplasty. Previous reports have suggested that T1 slope (T1s) and extension function (EF) have key roles in kyphosis, and no different radiologic measuments which affects postoperative kyphosis were seen between ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) or cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM). We tried to find preoperative radiologic measurements predicting angular kyphosis after laminoplasty according to disease entities. We retrospectively analyzed 133 patients with OPLL or CSM who underwent expansive laminoplasty. Preoperative neutral and extension C2-7 cobb angle (CA), T1s, C2-7 sagittal vertical axis, and C2-7 slope angle (SA) were measured. EF of C2-7 CA and C2-7 SA was defined as extension CA/SA minus neutral CA/SA. Significant angular kyphosis was defined as LCL less than -10° after surgery. Mean loss of lordosis was -3.23, and 16.5% of patients showed significant kyphosis. Preoperative EF-CA, EF-SA, and T1s were found to be predictive for angular kyphosis by Pearson correlation analysis. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis showed that the area under the curve (AUC) of radiologic measurements could not reach 0.7. In patients with OPLL, the AUC of preoperative neutral CA was 0.716. However, in patients with CSM ROC curve analysis revealed that EF-CA and EF-SA could predict the significant angular kyphotic changes. Examining OPLL and CSM separately, preoperative radiologic measurements were found to influence postoperative cervical kyphosis, respectively. However, preoperative C2-7 neutral CA in OPLL patients and both EF-CA and EF-SA in CSM patients could predict significant angular kyphosis after cervical laminoplasty.

Abstract
Background Cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) is one of the most common causes of spinal cord impairment in elderly patients. However, a consensus has yet to be reached on the ideal method of surgical intervention. In this study, we investigated serial changes of radiological findings after three-level anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) and multilevel laminoplasty and attempted to identify the radiological parameters affecting long-term clinical outcomes in CSM. Methods Of the 152 patients with multilevel CSM treated with three-level ACDF and multilevel laminoplasty, 42 had complete radiological parameters both before and 2 years after surgery (three-level ACDF, 22 patients; multilevel laminoplasty, 20 patients). Radiological parameters included spinal cord signal intensity (SI) changes on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Clinical outcomes including the Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score, neck disability index (NDI), Oswestry disability index (ODI), and 36-Item Short Form Health Survey score were measured. Results The ACDF group showed significant restoration of segmental lordosis postoperatively (preoperatively: 2.21°, 6 months: 8.37°, P=0.026), and segmental and cervical range of motion (ROM) was markedly reduced and well maintained until the final follow-up (preoperatively: 25.48°, 24 months: 4.35°, P<0.001; preoperatively: 41.71°, 24 months: 20.18°, P<0.001). The recovery rates of the JOA score were 42.85% and 57.40% in the ACDF and laminoplasty groups, respectively, although this difference was not statistically significant. Multivariate regression analysis demonstrated that signal change on MRI significantly affected the recovery rate (P=0.003). The visual analog scale (VAS) score and NDI decreased considerably only in the laminoplasty group, and device complications were confirmed only in the ACDF group (incidence rate =36.5%). Conclusions Multilevel laminoplasty showed better radiological and similar clinical outcomes. ACDF had more surgical complications. Spinal cord SI change on preoperative MRI was the independent risk factor for poor clinical outcomes. We recommend laminoplasty instead of three-level ACDF to treat multilevel CSM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We assessed pedicle screw accuracy utilizing a novel navigation-based spine surgery robotic system by comparing planned pathways with placed pathways in a porcine model. METHODS We placed three mini screws per vertebra for accuracy evaluation and used a reference frame for registration in four pigs (46 screws in 23 vertebrae). We planned screw paths and performed screw insertion under robot guidance. Using C-arm and CT images, we evaluated accuracy by comparing the 3D distance of the placed screw head/tip from the planned screw head/tip and 3D angular offset. RESULTS Mean registration deviation between the preoperative 3D space (C-arm) and postoperative CT scans was 0.475 ± 0.119 mm. The average offset from preoperative plan to final placement was 4.8 ± 2.0 mm from the head (tail), 5.3 ± 2.3 mm from the tip and 3.9 ± 2.4 degrees of angulation. CONCLUSIONS Our spine surgery robot showed good accuracy in executing an intended planned trajectory and screw path. This faster and more accurate robotic system will be applied in future studies, first in cadavers and subsequently in the clinical field.

Abstract
In northern Alaska nearly 65% of the terrestrial surface is composed of polygonal ground, where geomorphic tundra landforms disproportionately influence carbon and nutrient cycling over fine spatial scales. Process-based biogeochemical models used for local to Pan-Arctic projections of ecological responses to climate change typically operate at coarse-scales (1km2-0.5°) at which fine-scale (<1km2) tundra heterogeneity is often aggregated to the dominant land cover unit. Here, we evaluate the importance of tundra heterogeneity for representing soil carbon dynamics at fine to coarse spatial scales. We leveraged the legacy of data collected near Utqiaġvik, Alaska between 1973 and 2016 for model initiation, parameterization, and validation. Simulation uncertainty increased with a reduced representation of tundra heterogeneity and coarsening of spatial scale. Hierarchical cluster analysis of an ensemble of 21st-century simulations reveals that a minimum of two tundra landforms (dry and wet) and a maximum of 4km2 spatial scale is necessary for minimizing uncertainties (<10%) in regional to Pan-Arctic modeling applications.

Abstract
Neuromuscular disorders (NMDs) are diseases involving the upper and lower motor neurons and muscles. In patients with NMDs, cervical spinal deformities are a very common issue; however, unlike thoracolumbar spinal deformities, few studies have investigated these disorders. The patients with NMDs have irregular spinal curvature caused by poor balance and poor coordination of their head, neck, and trunk. Particularly, cervical deformity occurs at younger age, and is known to show more rigid and severe curvature at high cervical levels. Muscular physiologic dynamic characteristics such as spasticity or dystonia combined with static structural factors such as curvature flexibility can result in deformity and often lead to traumatic spinal cord injury. In addition, postoperative complication rate is higher due to abnormal involuntary movement and muscle tone. Therefore, it is important to control abnormal involuntary movement perioperatively along with strong instrumentation for correction of deformity. Various methods such as botulinum toxin injection, physical therapy, muscle division technique, or intrathecal baclofen pump implant may help control abnormal involuntary movements and improve spinal stability. Surgical management for cervical deformities associated with NMDs requires a multidisciplinary effort and a customized strategy.

Abstract
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has caused a global pandemic associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. Nasopharyngeal swabs and sputum samples are generally collected for serial viral load screening of respiratory contagions, but temporal profiles of these samples are not completely clear in patients with COVID-19. We performed an observational cohort study at Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University, which involved 31 patients with confirmed COVID-19 with or without underlying diseases. We obtained samples from each patient, and serial viral load was measured by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction. We found that the viral load in the sputum was inclined to be higher than samples obtained from the nasopharyngeal swab at disease presentation. Moreover, the viral load in the sputum decreased more slowly over time than in the nasopharyngeal group as the disease progressed. Interestingly, even when samples in the nasopharyngeal swab turned negative, it was commonly observed that patients with underlying diseases, especially hypertension and diabetes, remained positive for COVID-19 and required a longer period for the sputum samples to turn negative. These combined findings emphasize the importance of tracking sputum samples even in patients with negative tests from nasopharyngeal swabs, especially for those with underlying conditions. In conclusion, this work reinforces the importance of sputum samples for SARS-CoV-2 detection to minimize transmission of COVID-19 within the community.

Abstract
Spinal metastases can present with varying degrees of mechanical instability. The Spinal Instability Neoplastic Score (SINS) was developed as a tool to assess spinal neoplastic-related instability while helping to guide referrals among oncology specialists. Some previous papers suggested that the SINS was accurate and reliable, while others disagreed with this opinion. We performed a systematic review regarding the SINS to evaluate its accuracy and precision in predicting vertebral compression fractures (VCFs). The 21 included studies investigated a total of 2118 patients. Thirteen studies dealt with the accuracy of SINS to predict post-radiotherapy VCFs, and eight dealt with the precision. Among 13 studies, 11 agreed that the SINS categories showed statistically significant accuracy in predicting VCF. Among eight studies, body collapse was effective for predicting VCFs in six studies, and alignment and bone lesion in two studies. Location has no statistical significance in predicting VCFs in any of the eight studies. The precision of SINS categories was substantial to excellent in six of eight studies. Among the six components of the SINS, the majority of the included studies reported that location showed near perfect agreement; body collapse, alignment, and posterolateral involvement showed moderate agreement; and bone lesion showed fair agreement. Bone lesion showed significant accuracy in predicting VCFs in half of eight studies, but displayed fair reliability in five of seven studies. Although location was indicated as having near perfect reliability, the component showed no accuracy for predicting VCFs in any of the studies and deleting or modifying the item needs to be considered. The SINS system may be accurate and reliable in predicting the occurrence of post-radiotherapy VCFs for spinal metastasis. Some components seem to be substantially weak and need to be revised.

Abstract
In response to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), a rapid-cycle in-situ simulation (ISS) programme was developed to facilitate identification and resolution of systems-based latent safety threats. The simulation involved a possible COVID-19 case in respiratory failure, using a mannequin modified to aerosolize phosphorescent secretions. Thirty-six individuals participated in five ISS sessions over 6 weeks, and a further 20 individuals observed these sessions. Debriefing identified latent safety threats from four domains: personnel, personal protective equipment, supply/environment and communication. These threats were addressed and resolved in later iterations. Ninety-four percent of participants felt more prepared to care for a potential case of COVID-19 after the ISS.

Abstract
Background:Interleukin receptor associated kinases (IRAK) 1 and 4 are kinases involved in Toll-Like Receptor (TLR) and Interleukin-1 Receptor (IL-1R) signaling pathways, which regulate innate immunity and inflammation. Dysregulation of IRAK1/4 signaling can lead to a variety of inflammatory conditions including rheumatoid and gouty arthritis. As a result, IRAK1/4 are promising therapeutic targets for rheumatic diseases (1). We have identified a potent and selective IRAK1/4 inhibitor, R835, that substantially suppressed the elevation of LPS (TLR4 agonist)-induced serum cytokines in healthy human volunteers in a recently completed phase 1 study.Objectives:The aim of our study was to investigate the effect of IRAK1/4 selective inhibition as a potential therapeutic approach for rheumatological diseases. We evaluated the inhibition by our clinical candidate, R835, on TLR-, IL-1R- and NLRP3 inflammasome-induced cytokine production, as well as in preclinical models of arthritis.Methods:The effect of R835 on TLR- or IL-1R-induced cytokine production was evaluated in vitro using THP-1, human primary endothelial cells and human primary dendritic cells. The activity of R835 on the NLRP3 inflammasome was also tested in vitro using THP-1 cells. The pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic relationship of R835 was evaluated in a mouse model of IL-1b-induced cytokine release. Mice were pre-treated orally with vehicle or R835 prior to challenge; serum cytokine and plasma compound levels were determined. The efficacy of IRAK1/4 inhibition by R835 in rodent models of joint inflammation was evaluated in a mouse model monosodium (MSU)-induced peritonitis, in rat model of MSU-induced gouty arthritis and in a rat model of collagen-induced arthritis (CIA).Results:In human cells, R835 blocked proinflammatory cytokine production in response to TLR, IL-1R and NLRP3 inflammasome activation. In mice, R835 dose-dependently decreased serum cytokines in response to administration of IL-1b. Mice pre-treated with R835 demonstrated dose-dependent reductions in MSU crystal-induced serum and peritoneal cytokine levels, as well as neutrophil influx in the peritoneal cavity. Prophylactic and therapeutic treatment with R835 also resulted in significant inhibition of MSU crystal-induced knee edema and pain in a rat model of human gouty arthritis. In the rat model of CIA, R835 blocked both onset and progression of disease, by reducing inflammation, cartilage degeneration and synovial inflammation.Conclusion:R835 is a promising clinical candidate for the treatment of a range of cytokine-driven rheumatological diseases. R835 has proven to have desirable pharmacokinetic properties, was well tolerated and suppressed LPS-induced serum cytokines in healthy volunteers in a recent phase 1 study.References:[1]Bahia M S, Kaur M, Silakari P, Silakari O.

Abstract
Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) disease is an autoimmune disease leading to visual impairment. Its pathogenic mechanisms remain poorly understood. Our purpose was to investigate the distinctive protein and metabolic profiles of sweat in patients with VKH disease. In the present study, proteomics and metabolomics analysis was performed on 60 sweat samples (30 VKH patients and 30 normal controls) using liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. Parallel reaction monitoring (PRM) analysis was used to validate the results of our omics analysis. In total, we were able to detect 716 proteins and 175 metabolites. Among them, 116 proteins (99 decreased and 17 increased) were observed to be significantly different in VKH patients when compared to controls. Twenty-one differentially expressed metabolites were identified in VKH patients, of which 18 included choline, L-tryptophan, betaine and L-serine were reduced, while the rest were increased. Our multi-omics strategy reveals an important role for the amino acid metabolic pathway in the pathogenesis of VKH disease. Significant differences in proteins and metabolites were identified in the sweat of VKH patients and, to some extent, an aberrant amino acid metabolism pathway may be a pathogenic factor in the pathogenesis of VKH disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Spinal cord glioma grade IV is a rare, diffuse midline glioma. H3 K27M-mutant was classified in a different entity in the 2016 World Health Organization (WHO) classification recently. No reports about prognosis of spinal cord glioma grade IV are available yet. OBJECTIVE To analyze the prognostic factors for spinal cord glioma grade IV. METHODS Twenty-five patients with spinal cord glioma of grade IV who underwent surgery in a single institute were selected. All grade IV spinal cord glioma histologically confirmed as glioblastoma or "diffuse midline glioma with H3 K27M-mutant" by the 2016 WHO classification of the central nervous system were included. Basic demographics, treatment modalities, and pathological tumor molecular profiles were investigated for prognosis. RESULTS Mean age was 39.1 yr; male to female ratio was 18 : 7. Tumor was located in thoracic cord (53.3%), cervical cord (40%), and lumbar area (6.7%). Median overall survival was 37.1 mo; median disease-free survival was 18.5 mo. Treatment modality showed no statistical difference. Only K27M profile showed significant prognostic value, 20 patients (80%) showed K27M mutation positive, K27M mutation patients showed longer overall survival (40.07 mo) than K27M negative patients (11.63 mo, P < .0001), and disease-free survival (20.85 vs 8.72 mo, P = .0241). CONCLUSION This study is the first and largest report of the prognosis of primary spinal cord grade IV glioma using the new WHO classification. This study reported survival analysis and prognostic factors, and revealed that H3.3 K27M mutation is not a major poor prognostic factor. Further studies to explore K27M mutations needed for risk stratification and therapy optimization.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the relationship between frailty, activities of daily living (ADL), instrumental ADL (IADL), and sagittal spinopelvic parameters in the elderly. METHODS To compare the characteristics based on the FRAIL scale status (robust, prefrail, frail), continuous variables were analyzed using ANOVA with Tukey post hoc tests, and categorical variables were analyzed using χ2 and Fisher's exact test. Multivariate linear regression was used to investigate cross-sectional association between sagittal alignment and FRAIL status. RESULTS Comparison analysis of the 3 groups (robust, prefrail, frail) demonstrated that frailty scale had significant correlations with T1 pelvic angle (T1PA, P = 0.019), pelvic tilt (PT, P = 0.004), pelvic incidence minus lumbar lordosis (PI-LL, P = 0.004) and ADL (P = 0.017). Multiple regression analysis that controlled for confounding factors confirmed the correlations between frailty scale and spinopelvic parameters (C7 sagittal vertical axis [SVA], B = 17.49, P = 0.028; T1PA, B = 4.83, P = 0.029; PT, B = 4.62, P = 0.003; PI-LL value, B = 7.11, P = 0.005). In addition, the ADL was associated with T1PA (B = 4.06, P = 0.006); whereas the IADL was correlated with C7 SVA (B = 11.38, P = 0.005), T1PA (B = 3.36, P = 0.003), and PI-LL (B = 3.13, P = 0.018). CONCLUSIONS Higher frailty score was associated with higher grades of sagittal spinopelvic malalignment and ADL in the elderly. Furthermore, higher ADL and IADL scores were associated with higher grades of sagittal spinopelvic malalignment. Frailty, ADL, IADL, and sagittal spinopelvic parameters were closely related to each other in the elderly.

Abstract
The study was aimed to develop an indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), which can detect specifically Feline herpesvirus type 1 (FHV-1). The primers were designed based on the conserved sequence of FHV-1 glycoprotein B gene. The recombinant protein with reactogenicity was purified as coating antigen of the assay. The indirect ELISA, characterized by high sensitivity showed no cross-reaction with two types of feline virus, had detection limit at 1:2000 dilution. The positive rate of the assay, according to the determined cutoff value (0.25), was basically consistent with Feline Herpes Virus Antibody ELISA kit. In conclusion, the indirect ELISA with high repeatability and reproducibility can be used for detecting FHV-1, and can provide necessary support to related research.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE We investigated a novel method using a 2D convolutional neural network (CNN) to identify superior and inferior vertebrae in a single slice of CT images, and a post-processing for 3D segmentation and separation of cervical vertebrae. METHODS The cervical spines of patients (N == 17, 1684 slices) from Severance and Gangnam Severance Hospitals (S/GSH) and healthy controls (N == 24, 3490 slices) from Seoul National University Bundang Hospital (SNUBH) were scanned by using various volumetric CT protocols. To prepare gold standard masks of cervical spine in CT images, each spine was segmented by using conventional image-processing methods and manually corrected by an expert. The gold standard masks were preprocessed and labeled into superior and inferior cervical vertebrae separately in the axial slices. The 2D U-Net model was trained by using the disease dataset (S/GSH) and additional validation was performed by using the healthy control dataset (SNUBH), and then the training and validation were repeated by switching the two datasets. RESULTS In case of the model was trained with the disease dataset (S/GSH) and validated with the healthy control (SNUBH), the mean and standard deviation (SD) of the Dice similarity coefficient (DSC), Jaccard similarity coefficient (JSC), mean surface distance (MSD), and Hausdorff surface distance (HSD) were 94.37%% ± 1.45%, 89.47%% ± 2.55%, 0.33 ± 0.12 mm and 20.89 ± 3.98 mm, and 88.67%% ± 5.82%, 80.83%% ± 8.09%, 1.05 ± 0.63 mm and 29.17 ± 19.74 mm, respectively. In case of the model was trained with the healthy control (SNUBH) and validated with the disease dataset (S/GSH), the mean and SD of DSC, JSC, MSD, and HSD were 96.23%% ± 1.55%, 92.95%% ± 2.58%, 0.39 ± 0.20 mm and 16.23 ± 6.72 mm, and 93.15%% ± 3.09%, 87.54%% ± 5.11%, 0.38 ± 0.17 mm and 20.85 ± 7.11 mm, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The results demonstrated that our fully automated method achieved comparable accuracies with inter- and intra-observer variabilities of manual segmentation by human experts, which is time consuming.

Abstract
Recently, a bioactive glass ceramic (BGC) has been developed for use as intervertebral cages for anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF). However, the effectiveness and safety of BGC cages remain to be evaluated. We completed a retrospective comparison of the radiological and clinical outcomes of 36 patients (52 levels) who underwent ACDF with a BGC cage and 35 patients (54 levels) using allograft bone. The following variables were compared between the two groups: the visual analog (VAS) neck and arm pain score and the neck disability index (NDI), measured before surgery and 1 year after; the change in Cobb's angle, between the C2 and C7 vertebrae, the global sagittal angle, and disc height compared from before surgery to 1 year after; and the rate of spinal fusion and cage subsidence at 1 and 2 years after surgery. The VAS and NDI scores were not different between the two groups. Similarly, the spinal fusion rate was not different between the BGC and allograft bone group at 1 year (73% and 87%, respectively; p = 0.07) and 2 years (94% and 91%, respectively; p = 0.54) after surgery. However, the rate of cage subsidence was higher in the allograft bone (43%) than the BGC (19%) group (p = 0.03), as was the rate of instrument-related failure (p = 0.028), with a specifically higher incidence of implant fracture or failure in the allograft bone group (p = 0.025). Overall, our findings indicate that BGC cages provide a feasible and safe alternative to allograft bone for ACDF.

Abstract
Objective C5 palsy is a severe complication after cervical spine surgery, the pathophysiology of which remains unclear. This multicenter study investigated the incidence of C5 palsy following cervical spine surgery in Korea.
Methods We conducted a retrospective multicenter study involving 21 centers from the Korean Cervical Spine Study Group. The inclusion criteria were cervical spine surgery patients between 2012 and 2016, excluding cases of neck surgery. In patients with C5 palsy, the operative methods, disease category, onset time of C5 palsy, recovery time, C5 manual muscle testing (MMT) grade, and post-C5 palsy management were analyzed.
Results We collected 15,097 cervical spine surgery cases from 21 centers. C5 palsy occurred in 88 cases (0.58%). C5 palsy was more common in male patients (p=0.019) and after posterior approach procedures (p<0.001). C5 palsy usually occurred within 3 days after surgery (77 of 88, 87.5%) and most C5 palsy patients recovered within 6 months (51 of 88, 57.95%). Thirty C5 palsy patients (34.09%) had motor weakness, with an MMT grade≤2. Only four C5 palsy patients (4.5%) did not recover during follow-up. Posterior cervical foraminotomy was performed in 7 cases (7.95%), and steroids were used in 56 cases (63.63%). Twenty-six cases (29.55%) underwent close observation only.
Conclusion The overall incidence of C5 palsy was relatively low (0.58%). C5 palsy was more common after posterior cervical surgery and in male patients. C5 palsy usually developed within 3 days after surgery, and more than half of patients with C5 palsy recovered within 6 months.

Abstract
Objective To investigate three-planar radiographic results and patient-reported outcomes (PROs) after correcting chronic atlantoaxial instability (AAI) by translaminar screw (TLS) and pedicle screw (PS) fixation, and to explore the potential association of atlantoaxial realignment with PRO improvements.
Methods Twenty-three patients who underwent C1 lateral mass screw (LMS)-C2 TLS and 29 who underwent C1 LMS-C2 PS with ≥ 2 years of follow-up were retrospectively analyzed. Three-planar (sagittal, coronal, and axial) radiographic parameters were measured. PROs including the Neck Disability Index (NDI), Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score and the Short Form 36 Physical Component Summary (SF-36 PCS) were documented. Factors potentially associated with PROs were identified.
Results The radiographic parameters significantly changed postoperatively except the C1–2 midlines’ intersection angle in the TLS group (p = 0.073) and posterior atlanto-dens interval in both groups (p = 0.283, p = 0.271, respectively). The difference in bilateral odontoid lateral mass interspaces at last follow-up was better corrected in the TLS group than in the PS group (p = 0.010). Postoperative PROs had significantly improved in both groups (all p < 0.05). Thereinto, NDI at last follow-up was significantly lower in the TLS group compared with PS group (p = 0.013). In addition, blood loss and operative time were obviously lesser in TLS group compared with PS group (p = 0.010, p = 0.004, respectively). Multivariable regression analysis revealed that a change in C1–2 Cobb angle was independently correlated to PROs improvement (NDI: β = -0.435, p = 0.003; JOA score: β = 0.111, p = 0.033; SF-36 PCS: β = 1.013, p = 0.024, respectively), also age ≤ 40 years was independently associated with NDI (β = 5.40, p = 0.002).
Conclusion Three-planar AAI should be reconstructed by C1 LMS-C2 PS fixation, while sagittal or coronal AAI could be corrected by C1 LMS-C2 TLS fixation. PROs may improve after atlantoaxial reconstruction in patients with chronic AAI. The C1–2 Cobb angle is an independent predictor of PROs after correcting chronic AAI, as is age ≤ 40 years for postoperative NDI.

Abstract
Background To compare the differences between the one-dimensional (1D) length, two-dimensional (2D) area, and three-dimensional (3D) volume occupying ratios, and to assess the difference between the central and peripheral types of ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL). Methods In total, 60 patients were included in this study, and 1D and 2D occupying ratios were obtained using Centricity PACS (GE Healthcare), while a 3D model was created using MIMICS® (Materialise, Leuven, Belgium). Clinical symptoms were measured preoperatively by the modified Japanese Orthopedic Association (JOA) score, short-form health survey (SF-36), and neck disability index. The increased signal intensity (ISI) in T2-weighted MRI was divided into three groups: grade 0, none; grade1, limited to one disc level; or grade2, beyond one disc level. The axial view of spinal canal in CT was vertically divided into three equal parts. Then, the OPLL was categorized by central and peripheral type according to the location of most protruded tip. Results The 1D, 2D, and 3D occupying ratios had a significantly negative relationship with JOA score (r=-0.503; -0.506; -0.516, respectively). There was little difference in the JOA score between the central and peripheral types (17.15 vs. 17.12, P=0.785). The relationship with MR ISI, according to the central and peripheral type, showed no significant difference. In each multiple regression analysis, the 1D, 2D, and 3D occupying ratios were determined to have more influence on the JOA score (Beta: -0.364, -0.411, -0.462, respectively) than age, sex, most severe level, OPLL type, location type, and MR ISI. Conclusions There was no difference between 1D, 2D, and 3D occupying ratios in reflecting the JOA score in cervical OPLL. Also, it is sufficient to reflect the occupying ratio in the clinical outcome without distinguishing between central and peripheral type.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gorham-Stout disease (GSD) or "vanishing bone" disease is characterized by progressive osteolysis with intraosseous lymphangiomatosis (hemangiomatosis). Given its rarity, with about 300 reported cases, its pathophysiology, etiology, and treatment guidelines are not established yet. CASE DESCRIPTION A 22-year-old man was admitted to Severance Hospital with the chief complaint of neck pain from an injury due to falling. Initial cervical radiography showed a C4 burst fracture, and cervical magnetic resonance imaging revealed diffuse osteolytic lesions with coarse trabeculation with T2 hyperintensity and T1 enhancement in the entire cervical and upper thoracic area. He had a previous history of chylothorax that was still noticeable on a chest radiograph at the time of admission. A 2-stage operation was conducted. First, anterior corpectomy of C4 and anterior plate fixation of C3-5 were performed. Second, a week later, posterior fixation of C3-5 was performed. Thereafter, the patient was discharged without any neurologic complications. However, during the 1-month follow-up, asymptomatic progressive kyphosis was detected via radiography, and posterior cervical fusion of C2-T4 was performed. A minimal postoperative symptom of an intermittent left arm pain of 4-5 on the visual analog scale was experienced. No further deformity progression was noted until the last outpatient follow-up. CONCLUSIONS Spinal GSD can cause severe deformity and neurologic deficits such as paralysis. Although treatment for GSD is not established, surgical treatment is recommended in severe deformity or aggravated neurologic deficit. The appropriate timing of surgery is after the arrest of osteolysis. Magnetic resonance imaging could be helpful in determining stable GSD.

Abstract
Background To prospectively explore the incidence and risk factors for postoperative delirium in elderly patients following lumbar spine surgery. Methods This prospective study enrolled 148 consecutive patients over the age of 65 who were scheduled to undergo spine surgery. Patients were screened for delirium using the short Confusion Assessment Method (CAM) postoperatively. Patient demographics and relevant medical information were collected. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify the risk factors associated with postoperative delirium. Results Eighty-three patients (56.1%) who underwent lumbar spine surgery (not coexisting with cervical or thoracic spine surgery) were enrolled in our study. Post-operative delirium was noted in 14.5% of patients over 65 years old. The presence of preoperative Parkinsonism was significantly higher in the delirium group (41.7% vs. 8.5%, P=0.002), as was a higher preoperative C-reactive protein (CRP) (7.0±15.2 vs. 1.3±2.3 mg/L, P=0.017) when compared with the non-delirium group. Of the risk factors, male sex [odds ratio (OR) =0.10, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.01-0.66, P=0.017], Parkinsonism (OR =5.83, 95% CI: 1.03-32.89, P=0.046), and lower baseline MMSE score (OR =0.71, 95% CI: 0.52-0.97, P=0.032) were independently associated with postoperative delirium in elderly patients undergoing lumbar spine surgery. Conclusions Post-operative delirium occurred in 14.5% of elderly patients who underwent lumbar spine surgery. Male sex, Parkinsonism, and lower baseline MMSE score were identified as independent risk factors for postoperative delirium in elderly patients following lumbar surgery.
