Spinal tuberculosis (STB) is a local manifestation of systemic infection caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, accounting for a significant proportion of joint tuberculosis cases. This study aimed to ...
124 patients suspected of having STB were collected and divided into STB and non-STB groups according to their pathological diagnosis. Serum MBL levels were measured using ELISA and a Pearson analysis...
The sensitivity of MRI for the diagnosis of STB was 84.38% and specificity was 86.67%. The serum MBL levels of the patients in the STB group were significantly lower than the levels in the non-STB gro...
Both MRI and MBL had certain diagnostic values for STB, but their combined use resulted in a diagnostic accuracy than either one alone....
BACKGROUND Thoracolumbar spinal tuberculosis is a severe form of extrapulmonary tuberculosis requiring precise management strategies. Traditionally, patients undergo a 2-4 week course of preoperative ...
Surgical management of elderly patients with spinal tuberculosis and severe osteoporosis is challenging. Cement-augmented pedicle screws (CAPS) have been specifically designed for elderly patients wit...
We retrospectively analyzed data of patients with spinal tuberculosis and severe osteoporosis between January 2017 and January 2021. Surgical data, including surgical duration and intraoperative blood...
A total of 15 patients were included in this study. The surgical duration was 263.0 ± 56.2 min, with an average blood loss of 378.7 ± 237.0 ml. The correction of regional kyphotic angle was 12.4° ± 15...
CAPS fixation is an effective and safe technique to achieve solid fixation and favorable clinical outcomes in elderly patients with spinal tuberculosis and severe osteoporosis....
This study aimed to investigate the differential expression levels of the cGAS-STING pathway in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of spinal tuberculosis (TB) patients with different progressi...
Peripheral blood and medical records of 25 patients with spinal TB and 10 healthy individuals, were prospectively collected and analyzed. PBMCs and serum were extracted from peripheral blood and the e...
The results showed that the expression level of the TANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK1) and IRF3 was significantly higher in PBMCs (P < 0.05), in patients with active lesions than in patients with stable les...
The expression level of TBK1 and IRF3 in PBMCs, and IFN-β in the serum of patients with spinal TB is positively correlated with disease activity. TBK1 has higher specificity and IFN-β in serum has hig...
