Surgical site infection (SSI) is one of the most intractable complications following spine surgery during the early postoperative stage. Elderly (age > 70 years), body mass index > 30, smoking, diabetes mellitus, coronary artery disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, anemia, low serum albumin, operation time > 3 h, and perioperative blood loss > 500 mL are the common risk factors of SSI after spine surgery. However, there are few published reports about sweat contamination induced surgical site infections with Staphylococcus epidermidis up to date. Staphylococcus epidermidis is a permanent member of the normal human microbiota and has emerged as an important opportunistic pathogen in SSI. We aim to detect the influence of sweat infiltration on SSI with Staphylococcus epidermidis and effective management.

Sweat contamination induced surgical site infections after spine surgery: Three case reports and literature review.

Transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) is an effective and popular surgical procedure for the management of various spinal pathologies, especially degenerative diseases. Surgeons have been pursuing minimally invasive technology as soon as TLIF was appeared. Currently, TLIF can be performed with transforaminal approaches by open surgery, minimally invasive surgery or percutaneous endoscope. We provide a detailed description of a new modified open TLIF with percutaneous pedicle screws, which we refer to as mini-open TLIF. The objective of this study was to present feasibility of this procedure and the preliminary results.

A novel mini-open transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion for lumbar degenerative diseases: technical note and preliminary results.

To investigate the regulation of ginsenoside Rg1 on the PI3K/AKT pathway through the lncRNA-Malat1/miR-124-3p/ Laminin gamma1 (Lamc1) axis, activating astrocytes (As) to promote the repair of spinal cord injury (SCI).
