OBJECTIVE
The role of interbodies in lumbar arthrodesis has been insufficiently supported by evidence, impacting clinical decision-making and occasionally insurance coverage. This study aimed to compare clinical and radiological outcomes between lumbar arthrodesis with a synthetic interbody spacer (cage) versus structural bone graft alone (autograft or allograft) in patients with degenerative spine disease.

METHODS
A systematic review of the literature was performed to identify studies directly comparing outcomes of lumbar interbody arthrodesis with and without interbody cage use. The outcomes of individual studies were synthesized in meta-analyses using random-effects models.

RESULTS
Twenty studies with 1508 patients (769 with an interbody cage and 739 without an interbody cage) were included. Interbody cage placement was associated with a significantly greater increase in disc height after surgery (4.0 mm vs 3.4 mm, p < 0.01). There was a significantly greater reduction of back pain (visual analog scale [VAS] score) in cases in which an interbody cage was used (5.4 vs 4.7, p = 0.03). Fusion rates were 5.5% higher in the cage group (96.3% vs 90.8%) and reached statistical significance (p = 0.03). No statistically significant differences were identified between the two groups regarding all-cause reoperation rates, complication rates, or improvement in Oswestry Disability Index score or leg pain (VAS score).

CONCLUSIONS
These results suggest that implantation of an interbody cage is associated with higher rates of fusion, more effective maintenance of disc height, and greater improvement of back pain. This study underlines the clinical value of interbody cages in lumbar arthrodesis for patients with degenerative spine disease.

Published: May 2024

With the rapid development of Internet of Things (IoT) technology, a large amount of sensor data, images, voice, and other data are being widely used, bringing new opportunities for intelligent and cross-domain information fusion. Effective feature extraction and accurate recognition remain urgent issues to be addressed. This article explores the application of deep learning (DL) in multimodal data recognition methods of the IoT and proposes path optimization for multimodal data recognition methods of the IoT under DL. This article also provides in-depth analysis and discussion on the optimization of multimodal data recognition models based on DL, as well as specific measures for optimizing the path of multimodal data recognition based on DL. In this paper, the long short-term memory (LSTM) technology is introduced, and the LSTM technology is used to optimize the multi-modal data recognition method. It can be seen from the comparison that the processing efficiency of data analysis, information fusion, speech recognition, and emotion analysis of the multimodal data recognition method optimized by LSTM technology is 0.29, 0.35, 0.31, and 0.24 higher, respectively, than that of data analysis, information fusion, speech recognition, and emotion analysis before optimization. Introducing DL methods in multimodal data recognition of the IoT can effectively improve the effectiveness of data recognition and fusion and achieve higher levels of recognition for speech recognition and sentiment analysis.

Published: May 2024

BackgroundPlatelet hyperreactivity is a risk factor for thrombosis in elderly patients with cardiovascular diseases. However, the mechanism of platelet hyperactivation has not been elucidated. This study aims to investigate alterations in the proteomes of platelets and their correlation with platelet hyperreactivity among elderly individuals.MethodsThis study included 10 young (28.1 ± 1.9 years), 10 middle-aged (60.4 ± 2.2 years), and 10 old (74.2 ± 3.0 years) subjects. Washed platelets were used in the present study. Platelet samples were analysed by using data-independent acquisition (DIA) quantitative mass spectrometry (MS).ResultsThe results showed that the platelet proteomic profile exhibited high similarity between the young and middle-aged groups. However, there were significant differences in protein expression profiles between the old group and the young group. By exploring the dynamic changes in the platelet proteome with ageing, clusters of proteins that changed significantly with ageing were selected for further investigation. These clusters were related to the initial triggering of complement, phagosome and haemostasis based on enrichment analysis. We found that platelet degranulation was the major characteristic of the differentially expressed proteins between the old and young populations. Moreover, complement activation, the calcium signalling pathway and the nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) signalling pathway were enriched in differentially expressed proteins.ConclusionsThe present study showed that there are obvious differences in the protein profiles of the elderly compared with young and middle-aged populations. The results provide novel evidence showing changes in platelet hyperactivity and susceptibility to thrombosis in the elderly population.

ObjectiveTo examine the impact of tobacco smoking on seminal parameters in men with both primary and secondary infertility.MethodsThis cross-sectional study analyzed 1938 infertile men from China who were categorized as nonsmokers (n=1,067) and smokers (n=871), with the latter group further divided into moderate smokers (1-10 cigarettes per day) (n=568) and heavy smokers (&gt;10 cigarettes per day) (n=303). We assessed semen volume, concentration, total sperm count, progressive motility, and normal morphology following World Health Organization (WHO 2010) guidelines. A logistic regression model was used to analyze the relationships between smoking and seminal parameters while also controlling for lifestyle factors.ResultsThe analysis demonstrated a statistically significant correlation between smoking and adverse seminal parameters in both primary and secondary infertility patients. Specifically, primary infertile men who smoked had a lower semen concentration, with heavy smokers showing a median sperm concentration of 59.2×10^6/ml compared to 68.6×10^6/ml in nonsmokers (P=0.01). The secondary infertile men who smoked exhibited reduced forward sperm motility, with heavy smokers demonstrating a median progressive motility of 44.7%, which was significantly lower than the 48.1% observed in nonsmokers (P=0.04).ConclusionSmoking is significantly associated with detrimental effects on seminal parameters in infertile men, thus highlighting the need for cessation programs as part of fertility treatment protocols. Encouraging smoking cessation could substantially improve semen quality and fertility outcomes in this population.

BackgroundHigher prevalence of obesity has been observed among women compared to men, which can be explained partly by the higher consumption of sweets and physical inactivity. Obesity can alter immune cell infiltration, and therefore increase the susceptibility to develop chronic inflammation and metabolic disorders. In this study, we aimed to explore the association between free sugar intake and other unhealthy lifestyle habits in relation to the proportion of circulating iNKT cells among women with healthy weight and women experiencing overweight and obesity.MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted on 51 Saudi women &gt; 18 years, wherein their daily free sugar intake was assessed using the validated Food Frequency Questionnaire. Data on smoking status, physical activity, and supplement use were also collected. Anthropometric data including height, weight, waist circumference were objectively measured from each participants. The proportion of circulating iNKT cells was determined using flow cytometry.ResultsSmoking, physical activity, supplement use, and weight status were not associated with proportion of circulating iNKT cells. Significant association was found between proportion of circulating iNKT cells and total free sugar intake and free sugar intake coming from solid food sources only among women experiencing overweight and obesity (Beta: -0.10: Standard Error: 0.04 [95% Confidence Interval: -0.18 to -0.01], p= 0.034) and (Beta: -0.15: Standard Error: 0.05 [95% Confidence Interval: -0.25 to -0.05], p= 0.005), respectively.ConclusionExcessive free sugar consumption may alter iNKT cells and consequently increase the risk for chronic inflammation and metabolic disorders.
