Genetic background of degenerative disc disease in the lumbar spine.

ABSTRACT: This is a review paper on the topic of genetic background of degenerative disc diseases in the lumbar spine. Lumbar disc diseases (LDDs), such as lumbar disc degeneration and lumbar disc herniation, are the main cause of low back pain. There are a lot of studies that tried to identify the causes of LDDs. The causes have been categorized into environmental factors and genetic factors. Recent studies revealed that LDDs are mainly caused by genetic factors. Numerous studies have been carried out using the genetic approach for LDDs. The history of these studies is divided into three periods: (1) era of epidemiological research using familial background and twins, (2) era of genomic research using DNA polymorphisms to identify susceptible genes for LDDs, and (3) era of functional research to determine how the genes cause LDDs. This review article was undertaken to present the history of genetic approach to LDDs and to discuss the current issues and future perspectives.

Optimization of a lumbar interspinous fixation device for the lumbar spine with degenerative disc disease.

Project description:Interspinous spacer devices used in interspinous fixation surgery remove soft tissues in the lumbar spine, such as ligaments and muscles and may cause degenerative diseases in adjacent segments its stiffness is higher than that of the lumbar spine. Therefore, this study aimed to structurally and kinematically optimize a lumbar interspinous fixation device (LIFD) using a full lumbar finite element model that allows for minimally invasive surgery, after which the normal behavior of the lumbar spine is not affected. The proposed healthy and degenerative lumbar spine models reflect the physiological characteristics of the lumbar spine in the human body. The optimum number of spring turns and spring wire diameter in the LIFD were selected as 3 mm and 2 turns, respectively-from a dynamic range of motion (ROM) perspective rather than a structural maximum stress perspective-by applying a 7.5 N∙m extension moment and 500 N follower load to the LIFD-inserted lumbar spine model. As the spring wire diameter in the LIFD increased, the maximum stress generated in the LIFD increased, and the ROM decreased. Further, as the number of spring turns decreased, both the maximum stress and ROM of the LIFD increased. When the optimized LIFD was inserted into a degenerative lumbar spine model with a degenerative disc, the facet joint force of the L3-L4 lumbar segment was reduced by 56%-98% in extension, lateral bending, and axial rotation. These results suggest that the optimized device can strengthen the stability of the lumbar spine that has undergone interspinous fixation surgery and reduce the risk of degenerative diseases at the adjacent lumbar segments.

Comorbidities associated with cervical spine degenerative disc disease.

Project description:Determining important links between medical comorbidities and cervical spine degenerative disc disease (DDD) will help elucidate pathomechanisms of disc degeneration. Electronic medical records and magnetic resonance imaging were retrospectively reviewed to evaluate 799 patients assessed for cervical spine pathology. Bivariate analysis identified older age, diabetes, ASA class, cancer, COPD, depression, hypertension, hypothyroidism, Medicare status, peripheral vascular disease, history of previous cervical spine surgery, smoking, and lower median household income as having strong associations with increased cumulative grade of cervical spine DDD. This study provides evidence suggesting aging and accumulation of medical comorbidities influence severity of cervical spine DDD.

Intervertebral Fusion with Mobile Microendoscopic Discectomy for Lumbar Degenerative Disc Disease.

Project description:The aim of this article is to introduce a technique for lumbar intervertebral fusion that incorporates mobile microendoscopic discectomy (MMED) for lumbar degenerative disc disease. Minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion is frequently performed to treat degenerative diseases of the lumbar spine; however, the scope of such surgery and vision is limited by what the naked eye can see through the expanding channel system. To expand the visual scope and reduce trauma, we perform lumbar intervertebral fusion with the aid of a MMED system that provides a wide field through freely tilting the surgical instrument and canals. We believe that this technique is a good option for treating lumbar degenerative disc disease that requires lumbar intervertebral fusion.

Clinical Outcomes of Total Disc Replacement Versus Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion for Surgical Treatment of Lumbar Degenerative Disc Disease.

Project description:The authors performed a retrospective controlled study of patients diagnosed with lumbar degenerative disc disease who received surgical intervention (either total disc replacement [TDR]/Activ-L or anterior lumbar interbody fusion [ALIF]) at a single tertiary-care hospital from 2007-2010.To investigate the clinical outcomes after TDR in comparison with ALIF for surgical treatment of lumbar degenerative disc disease (DDD).Analyzed data included intra-operative blood loss, time to return to work, and clinical outcomes as evaluated through the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) and the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) pain questionnaires pre-operatively and at 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year postoperative follow-up.At the univariate analysis, patients submitted to TDR presented significantly lower VAS pain scores than patients who received ALIF starting at 6 weeks (P < .001) and continuing through one year postoperatively (P = .007). Patients submitted to TDR also presented significantly lower ODI disability scores at all time points. There was a significant difference in the number of days to return to work, with TDR patients returning to work on average 65 days sooner than ALIF patients (P = .011). There was no significant difference in the total blood loss between both groups.The results of this retrospective controlled study suggest that, in comparison with patients submitted to ALIF, patients submitted to TDR present quicker return to work, less back pain, and lower disability scores at 1 year follow-up.

Accidental Dural Tears in Minimally Invasive Spinal Surgery for Degenerative Lumbar Spine Disease.

Project description:Background: One of the most frequent complications of spinal surgery is accidental dural tears (ADTs). Minimal access surgical techniques (MAST) have been described as a promising approach to minimizing such complications. ADTs have been studied extensively in connection with open spinal surgery, but there is less literature on minimally invasive spinal surgery (MISS). Materials and Methods: We reviewed 187 patients who had undergone degenerative lumbar spinal surgery using minimally invasive spinal fusions techniques. We analyzed the influence of age, Body Mass Index (BMI), smoking, diabetes, and previous surgery on the rate of ADTs in MISS. Results: Twenty-two patients (11.764%) suffered from an ADT. We recommended bed rest for two and a half to 5 days, depending on the type of repair required and the amount of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage. We could not find any statistically significant correlation between ADTs and age (p = 0.34,), BMI (p = 0.92), smoking (p = 0.46), and diabetes (p = 0.71). ADTs were significantly more frequent in cases of previous surgery (p < 0.001). None of the patients developed a transcutaneous CSF leak or post-operative infection. Conclusions: The frequency of ADTs in MISS appears comparable to that encountered when using open surgical techniques. Additionally, MAST produces less dead space along the corridor to the spine. Such reduced dead space may not be enough for pseudomeningocele to occur, cerebrospinal fluid to accumulate, and fistula to form. MAST, therefore, provides a certain amount of protection.

3D-printed titanium alloy cage in anterior and lateral lumbar interbody fusion for degenerative lumbar spine disease.

Project description:BackgroundThe most commonly used cages for intervertebral disc replacement in lumbar fusion procedures are made predominantly from polyetheretherketone (PEEK). There is sufficient data studying their subsidence and failure rates from a variety of approaches. A novel implant is now available for commercial use, 3D-printed porous titanium (3DppTi) alloy cages, which have recently become available for use in spinal procedures. They have been shown in ovine models to have superior efficacy and fusion rates compared to traditional cages. However, there is limited data on their use in clinical practice and long-term outcomes associated with them.MethodsA retrospective chart review was performed, of all patients in a single institution who underwent lumbar spine fusion surgery via an anterior or lateral approach with a 3D-printed titanium alloy cage, between January 2020 and February 2021. Clinic letters, imaging and operation reports were independently reviewed to assess for fusion, or evidence of subsidence on follow-up.ResultsFifty patients were identified as meeting inclusion criteria, with a total of 66 operative levels. Of these operative levels, 32 were via an anterior approach and 34 via a lateral approach. One patient demonstrated a Marchi grade 0 subsidence, with recurrence of radiculopathy 2 months after an anterior approach, requiring posterior decompression and stabilization. A second patient demonstrated a Marchi grade 1 subsidence after a lateral approach, but did not require further surgery as they were asymptomatic at 2 years of follow-up. This study demonstrated an overall subsidence rate of 3.03%. There was a median follow-up time of 11.3 months for all patients.Conclusions3D-printed titanium alloy cages demonstrate a lower subsidence rate compared to historically published rates for alternative intervertebral cages, in anterior and lateral lumbar spine fusion surgery.

National trends in the utilization of lumbar disc replacement for lumbar degenerative disc disease over a 10-year period, 2010 to 2019

Project description:Background Lumbar fusion (LF) is commonly performed to manage lumbar degenerative disc disease (LDDD) that has failed conservative measures. However, lumbar disc replacement (LDR) procedures are increasingly prevalent and designed to preserve motion in carefully selected patients. Methods A retrospective cohort study was performed using the National Inpatient Sample (NIS), queried from 2010 to 2019 to identify patients undergoing single and double-level LF or LDR with a diagnosis of LDDD using International Classification of Diseases (ICD) 9th (ICD-9) and 10th (ICD-10) revision diagnostic and procedure codes. Propensity score matching (PSM) with a ratio of 2:1 was performed. All cost estimates reflect reported hospital costs adjusted to December 2019 United States Dollars. Results A total of 1,129,121 LF cases (99.3%) and 8,049 LDR cases (0.7%) were identified, with 364,637 (32.3%) and 712 (8.8%) comprising two-level surgeries, respectively. 1,712 LDRs were performed in 2010 (1.27% of all), decreasing to 565 in 2013 (0.52%), and increased slightly to 870 in 2019 (0.74%). LDR patients were significantly more likely to be younger (mean age 41.2 vs. 57.1, P<0.001) and healthier (mean ECI 0.88 vs. 1.80, P<0.001). On matched analysis, LDR hospital costs were $4,529 less (P<0.001) and length of stay was 0.65 days shorter (P<0.001) than LF patients. LDR patients had lower rates of any complication (7.0% vs. 13.2%, P<0.001), neurologic complication (3.0% vs. 4.2%, P=0.006), and blood transfusion (3.1% vs. 8.1%, P<0.001) compared to LF patients. Conclusions The prevalence of LDR procedures decreased from 2010–2017 but began to increase again in 2018 and 2019. Single-level LDR was associated with reduced costs and length of stay (LOS), and lower rates of blood transfusion compared to LF in patients with LDDD.

Genetic variants of interleukin 1B and 6 are associated with clinical outcome of surgically treated lumbar degenerative disc disease.

Project description:BackgroundSuccessfully surgically treating degenerative disc diseases can be challenging to the spine surgeons, the long-term outcome relies on both the physical and mental status of the patient before and after treatment. Numerous studies underlined the role of inflammatory cytokines - like interleukin 1B and 6 - in the development of chronic diseases such as failed back surgery syndrome (FBSS) and major depressive disorder (MDD) which alter the outcome after spinal surgery. Our aim was to evaluate the associations of IL6 and IL1B gene polymorphisms with the long-term outcome of degenerative lumbar spine surgeries.MethodsAn international genetical database (GENODISC) was combined with our institute's clinical database to create a large pool with long term follow up data. Altogether 431 patient's data were analysed. Patient reported outcome measures and surgical outcome was investigated in association with IL1B and IL6 SNPs with the help of 'SNPassoc' R genome wide association package.ResultsInterleukin 1B variants analysis confirmed association with improvement of pain after surgery on individual SNP level and on haplotype level, moreover relationship with patient reported outcome and preoperative level of depression was found on individual SNP level. IL6 variants were associated with preoperative depression, somatization and with subsequent surgery.ConclusionUnderstanding the complexity of spinal surgery patients' long-term well-being is crucial in effectively treating chronic debilitating somatic diseases and the associated mental illnesses. Further studies should investigate more comprehensively the linkage of chronic physical and mental illnesses focusing on their simultaneous treatment.

Association between vitamin D receptor genetic polymorphisms and haplotypes and risk of lumbar degenerative disc disease in a Chinese population.

Project description:Degenerative disc disease is a continuous degeneration process of intervertebral discs. We performed a case-control study to investigate the association between 16 common SNPs of VDR and degenerative disc disease risk in a Chinese population. A total of 482 pairs of patients with degenerative disc disease and controls were collected between May 2014 and May 2016. The genotyping of VDR rs1544410, rs2239181, rs2107301, rs2239179, rs2189480, rs3819545, rs2239186, rs2254210, rs2238136, rs4760648, rs11168287, rS4328262, rS4334089, rs3890733, rs10783219 and rS7299460 was done in a 384-well plate format on the sequenom MassARRAY platform (Sequenom, San Diego, USA). We observed that the TC (OR=2.13, 95% CI=1.34-3.40) and CC (OR=2.73, 95% CI=1.75-4.28) genotypes of rs2239179 were associated with an increased risk of degenerative disc disease when compared with the TT genotype. However, there was no significant correlation between other fifth SNPs of VDR and degenerative disc disease risk. The haplotype analysis revealed that the rs2239179 had linkage disequilibrium with rs2107301 (D'=0.97, r2=0.25) and rs2238136 (D'=0.81, r2=0.15). The rs2239179 polymorphism was associated with drinking habit (Spearman correlation coefficient =0.09, P=0.006) in the risk of intervertebral disc disease. In conclusion, our study indicated that the VDR genetic polymorphism may contribute to the development of degenerative disc disease in the Chinese population.
