This study examined the value of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio at admission for early diagnosis, severity assessment, and prognosis of acute traumatic SCI. The First People’s Hospital of Neijiang, China. This was a single-center, retrospective, cohort study of patients treated within 12 h of acute SCI between January 2018 and October 2022. Ninety-four SCI patients were selected as the Observation group, including 26 with complete injury (AIS grade A) and 68 with incomplete injury (AIS grade B–D), while 94 patients with simple spinal fracture were randomly selected as the Control group. Eighty-one observation group patients underwent surgical treatment, of which 33 had a higher AIS grade (Good prognosis subgroup) and 48 a lower or equal grade post-surgery (Poor prognosis subgroup). Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to assess predictors of early diagnosis, severity, and 6-month outcome. Initial white blood cell count, neutrophil count, monocyte count, and NLR were higher in the Observation group than the Control group, while lymphocyte count was lower in the Observation group. Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified NLR as an independent predictor of early diagnosis. Spinal canal encroachment ≥50%, neutrophil count, and NLR were higher in the complete injury subgroup, and spinal canal encroachment ≥50% was an independent predictor of complete injury, while NLR was not. The NLR was higher in the poor prognosis subgroup and was an independent risk factor. Peripheral blood NLR is useful for early diagnosis of acute SCI and is predictive of clinical outcome.","PeriodicalId":21976,"journal":{"name":"Spinal cord","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2023-12-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139035244","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Currently there is limited evidence and guidance on the management of mild degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM) and asymptomatic spinal cord compression (ASCC). Anecdotal evidence suggest variance in clinical practice. The objectives of this study were to assess current practice and to quantify the variability in clinical practice. Spinal surgeons and some additional health professionals completed a web-based survey distributed by email to members of AO Spine and the Cervical Spine Research Society (CSRS) North American Society. Questions captured experience with DCM, frequency of DCM patient encounters, and standard of practice in the assessment of DCM. Further questions assessed the definition and management of mild DCM, and the management of ASCC. A total of 699 respondents, mostly surgeons, completed the survey. Every world region was represented in the responses. Half (50.1%, n = 359) had greater than 10 years of professional experience with DCM. For mild DCM, standardised follow-up for non-operative patients was reported by 488 respondents (69.5%). Follow-up included a heterogeneous mix of investigations, most often at 6-month intervals (32.9%, n = 158). There was some inconsistency regarding which clinical features would cause a surgeon to counsel a patient towards surgery. Practice for ASCC aligned closely with mild DCM. Finally, there were some contradictory definitions of mild DCM provided in the form of free text. Professionals typically offer outpatient follow up for patients with mild DCM and/or asymptomatic ASCC. However, what this constitutes varies widely. Further research is needed to define best practice and support patient care.","PeriodicalId":21976,"journal":{"name":"Spinal cord","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2023-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.nature.com/articles/s41393-023-00945-8.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138823943","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Three main themes were identified: (i) managing the frustration of continence-related complications; (ii) finding your way to deal with continence-related complications; (iii) identifying precise needs to deal with continence-related complications. Obtained findings highlighted the perceived emotional and physical burden suffered by people with SCI and their caregivers regarding the constant look for solutions and renounces to social participation, the different strategies implemented to address continence-related complications, and the unmet or partially met needs of people with SCI regarding support in transition to the community, infrastructure, and reliable information or education. Continence-related complications have a significant impact on the lives of people with SCI and their families. Interventions using technological tools and peer participation could reduce the burden associated with continence-related complications. Specific instruments are needed to facilitate evaluation, goal setting, and promote discussion of continence to allow HCPs to support people with SCI.

After 4 weeks, we conducted the rotarod test, then removed and prepared the spinal cords (including the epicenter of injury) for stereological and histological estimation, and biochemical assays. The results showed that MP and GFRS combining treatment enhanced functional recovery, which was associated with a decrement in lesion volume, increased spared white and gray matter volume, reduced neuronal loss, as well as decreased necrosis and hemorrhage after SCI. Moreover, administration of MP and GFRS inhibited lipid peroxidation (malondialdehyde (MDA) content), and increased antioxidant enzymes including glutathione (GSH), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and catalase (CAT) after rat SCI. We suggests that the combination treatment of MP and GFRS may ameliorate the structure and functional changes following SCI by reducing oxidative stress, and increasing the level of antioxidants enzymes.","PeriodicalId":21976,"journal":{"name":"Spinal cord","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2023-11-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138435065","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The associations were stronger in people aged over 45 (additive interaction p = 0.001), males (additive interaction p = 0.01) and non-tetraplegia (additive interaction p = 0.002). The incidence of TSCI due to deliberate self-harm was higher (0.41 versus 0.23 per month) during restrictions. Overall, TSCI incidence reduced in Scotland when lockdowns were implemented, presumably due to lower engagement in risky activities. The increase in TSCI due to deliberate self-harm may reflect increased mental health problems and social isolation and should be anticipated and targeted in future pandemics. The change in incidence during the COVID-19 pandemic may have an economic impact and see a temporary reduction in the burden on health and social care.

A total of 261 patients with DCM and 42 age- and sex-matched healthy controls were evaluated using the T1w/T2w mapping method and spinal cord automatic morphometry. The T1w/T2w signal intensity ratio, which reflects white matter integrity, and the spinal cord cross-sectional area (CSA) were calculated and compared between the patients and the controls. In patients with DCM, the correlations between these parameters and neurological scores were also evaluated. The regional T1w/T2w ratio values from the cervical spinal cord at the level of maximal compression in patients with DCM were significantly lower than those in healthy controls (p < 0.001), as were the regional CSA values (p < 0.001). There was a positive correlation between the regional values of the T1w/T2w ratio and the values of the CSA at the level of maximal spinal cord compression. T1w/T2w mapping revealed that spinal cord tissue damage exists at the level of maximal compression in patients with DCM in association with spinal cord atrophy according to automatic morphometry. These changes were correlated with each other.","PeriodicalId":21976,"journal":{"name":"Spinal cord","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2023-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71427002","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
