Characteristic radiographic or magnetic resonance images of fresh osteoporotic vertebral fractures predicting potential risk for nonunion: a prospective multicenter study.
Tadao Tsujio,Hiroaki Nakamura,Hidetomi Terai,Masatoshi Hoshino,Takashi Namikawa,Akira Matsumura,Minori Kato,Akinobu Suzuki,Kazushi Takayama,Wakaba Fukushima,Kyoko Kondo,Yoshio Hirota,Kunio Takaoka +12 more
TL;DR: The statistical analyses revealed that a vertebral fracture in the thoracolumbar spine, presence of a middle-column injury, and a confined high intensity or a diffuse low intensity area in the fractured vertebrae on T2-weighted MR images were significant risk factors for nonunion of OVFs.

TL;DR: Longstanding diabetes, poor glycemic control, and insulin use might be associated with poor postoperative improvement in patients undergoing lumbar spine surgery.

Asymmetric degeneration of paravertebral muscles in patients with degenerative lumbar scoliosis.
Najibullah Shafaq,Akinobu Suzuki,Akira Matsumura,Hidetomi Terai,Hiromitsu Toyoda,Hiroyuki Yasuda,Mohammad Ibrahim,Hiroaki Nakamura +7 more
TL;DR: It is shown that muscle degeneration was more common on the concave side in patients with DLS, and Radiculopathy and spinal deformity may contribute to the PVM degeneration.

Acceleration of peripheral nerve regeneration using nerve conduits in combination with induced pluripotent stem cell technology and a basic fibroblast growth factor drug delivery system
Mikinori Ikeda,Takuya Uemura,Kiyohito Takamatsu,Mitsuhiro Okada,Kenichi Kazuki,Yasuhiko Tabata,Yoshito Ikada,Hiroaki Nakamura +7 more
TL;DR: The combination of all three fundamental methodologies, iPSc technology for supportive cells, bioabsorbable nerve conduits for scaffolds, and a bFGF drug delivery system for growth factors, was essential for peripheral nerve regenerative therapy.
102
Local delivery of siRNA using a biodegradable polymer application to enhance BMP-induced bone formation.
TL;DR: The results indicate the efficacy of local delivery of siRNAs by PLA-DX-PEG polymer, which intensified bone-inducing effects of BMP and promoted new bone formation by suppressing gene expression of Noggin.
