The study aimed to verify the impact of geographic, personal and clinical variables on adherence to brace wear.Methods: Design: retrospective cross-sectional study of consecutively collected participants at a tertiary referral institute.Inclusion criteria: AIS, one-year of follow-up after bracing, and use of a thermal sensor. The outcome was adherence and tested predictors were age, gender, ATR, TRACE, Cobb, curve type, Risser, and back pain at baseline, brace type and prescription time, income, living in the North, Centre, or South of Italy, city of residence size, distance from the sea, and height above sea level. The chi 2 test was used to investigate the association between the categories and adherence. The logistic regression model tested the predictors. STATA 17.0 MP was used.Results: We included 1904 adolescents, age 13.8 ± 1.6 (1597 females), worse scoliosis curve 35 ± 11° Cobb. The prevalence of good compliers, with more than 75% of the prescribed dosage, was 90.8%. Factors associated with higher adherence were living in the North of Italy (p = 0.003), prescription > 20 h per day (p = 0.008), female gender (p = 0.008), younger age and lower Risser sign (age 10 to 13: p = 0.000; Risser 0-1: p = 0.013). The regression model explained 4% of the variability.Conclusion: Living in the North of Italy, longer hours of brace prescription, female gender, younger age, and lower Risser sign increased adherence to brace wear. Nevertheless, there are other unknown factors that contribute to the explanation of adherence in this highly compliant population.","PeriodicalId":12323,"journal":{"name":"European Spine Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144575158","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, it is unknown if decorin also alters the biomechanical properties of the intervertebral disc, and specifically the annulus fibrosus. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the potential of decorin to stimulate a pro-inflammatory environment and alter the mechanical integrity and tensile properties of a rat tail annulus.Methods: Sixty annulus fibrosus rings were dissected from 15 rat tails and randomized into three culture conditions: (i) control; (ii) 0.5 µg/mL bovine decorin (low dose); (iii) 5 µg/mL bovine decorin (high dose). Samples were cultured for 6 days then tested via a tensile mechanical testing system. IL-6 and MIP-2 concentration in the culture media were quantified via enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays at day 6.Results: IL-6 and MIP-2 were present in the media after six days of culture but did not differ between conditions. Decorin did, however, impact a number of tensile properties of the annulus. Specifically, the high dose of decorin resulted in greater toe region strain (p < 0.001) and greater failure strain (p < 0.001) as well as greater initial failure stress (p = 0.024) and maximum stress (p = 0.001).Discussion: The observed increase in annulus strength may be a result of reorganization of the load-bearing collagen fibres while the increased strain may be due to degradation of other matrix proteins. Future work is necessary to further elucidate the complex relationship between decorin exposure and altered tissue mechanics.","PeriodicalId":12323,"journal":{"name":"European Spine Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144575161","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study investigates its association with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) using ultrasonography.Methods: This retrospective study included 80 patients (160 hips) who underwent spinal fusion for adult spinal deformity. Patients were categorized based on sacroiliac joint fixation into fixation (group F) and non-fixation (group N). Ultrasonography was performed to assess hip morphology, including labral degeneration, cam lesions, and acetabular osteophytes. The Kellgren-Lawrence (KL) grade, and alpha angle were measured on standing radiographs. The anterior impingement test was conducted to evaluate clinical symptoms, and prevalence was statistically compared.Results: We analyzed 151 hips (26 males, 125 females) with a mean follow-up of 52.7 ± 39.6 months. After excluding 27 hips with advanced hip osteoarthritis (KL grade ≥ 2), labral degeneration (69.5% vs. 37.9%, p = 0.0076) and cam lesions (30.5% vs. 6.9%, p = 0.01) were significantly more prevalent in group F than group N. The mean alpha angle did not significantly differ between two groups at the time of surgery, but significantly greater in group F compared to group N (48.7 ± 3.9° vs. 46.7 ± 4.7°, p = 0.01) at final follow-up.Conclusion: Spinopelvic fixation may contribute to FAIS-related hip abnormalities by increasing mechanical stress.

Patients were divided into two groups based on whether they reached the MCID threshold (1.05) for the SRS-22r subtotal score. Demographic, surgical, radiographic, and mechanical complication data were compared between the groups. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to identify independent predictors of MCID failure.Results: A total of 259 patients were included in this study (female, 88.0%; mean age, 69.0 years; mean follow-up duration, 36.5 months). At the final follow-up, 117 patients (45.2%) failed to achieve the SRS-22r MCID. Multivariate analysis identified a high preoperative SRS-22r pain score (odds ratio [OR] = 1.988, P = 0.003) and high preoperative self-image score (OR = 2.597, P = 0.006) as independent predictors of MCID failure. The cutoff values for preoperative pain and self-image scores were 2.50 and 1.70, respectively (area under the curve [AUC] = 0.674 for pain subdomain; AUC = 0.656 for self-image subdomain).Conclusions: Despite achieving optimal global alignment, nearly half of the patients (45.2%) failed to reach the MCID in the SRS-22r score. Higher preoperative SRS-22r pain and self-image scores were significant predictors of failure. Therefore, these two factors should be primary considerations in surgical decision-making to improve patient-reported outcomes.","PeriodicalId":12323,"journal":{"name":"European Spine Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144559616","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Chronotype, an individual's preferred timing of activity and sleep, has been linked to pain perception. Previous studies have found a potential association between chronotype and LBP, although the findings were limited by small sample sizes and restricted population types. We investigated the association between evening chronotype (eveningness) and LBP in a cohort comprising public servants of various ages.Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of 4728 full-time public servants in Japan. LBP was assessed using a self-reported question. Individuals' chronotypes were determined using the reduced Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire. The association between chronotype and LBP was analyzed using the chi-squared test and multiple logistic regression models adjusted for age, sex, occupation, overtime work, use of the internet/email, body mass index, smoking status, exercise habits, sedentary behavior, sleep duration, sleep medication use, and depressive symptoms.Results: In total, 30% of the subjects reported LBP. The most common chronotype was intermediate type (51%), followed by morningness (38%) and eveningness (11%). A significant association between eveningness and LBP was observed. After adjusting for potential confounders, individuals with eveningness had a higher prevalence of LBP than those with morningness (36.2% vs. 28.7%; odds ratio: 1.46; 95% confidence interval: 1.16-1.83).Conclusion: Eveningness was statistically associated with LBP in a cohort of public servants.

Damage to the collagen fibers was blamed for degradation of the annulus fibrosus (AF) and dehydration of nucleus pulposus (NP) was adopted for losing its incompressibility and unstable migration in a degenerated condition. The change of the mechanical properties in the tissues due to degeneration was referred to various experimental reports that were used to simulate a computational model from a lumbar vertebral segment for a patient with degenerated IVDs. In the first phase of the study, the most accurate mechanical properties, suggested for the tissues by the various references, were selected for simulation of the stress diagrams, obtained by stress profilometry. Then in the second phase, reliability of some damage scenarios according to the pathophysiological descriptions for the tissues in a severely degenerated condition was examined. The results of the model showed that the incompressible response of NP which was taking 79% of a compression load for a normal condition of IVD, took just 40% of the load in a degenerated condition. The models postulated the residual stiffness of a severely degenerated IVD equal to 13% of its original value.","PeriodicalId":12323,"journal":{"name":"European Spine Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144552806","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
