    Abstract
    Background: The purpose of this paper is to determine the early incidence of disc de- generation adjacent to the vertebral body of osteoporotic fracture treated with percutaneous vertebroplasty or balloon kyphoplasty and whether adjacent disc degeneration is accelerated by this two procedures.
    Methods: 182 patients with painful vertebral compression fractures were treated. A total of 97 patients were enrolled in this prospective study. 97 patients with a mean age of 65.3 years were classified into control group and surgical treatment group of non-random. 35 patients were in contol group and 62 patients who were performed percutaneous vertebroplasty or balloon kyphoplasty in treatment group. X-ray and Magnetic resonance imaging were done at the first and final visit. The grade of disc degeneration above the fractured vertebral was confirmed by evaluation of bony oedema in the fat suppressed sequences and T2-weighted image of magnetic resonance imaging. The height of degenerative disc was measured on X-ray film.
    Results: All patients were followed up two years after the first visit and the follow-up rate was 90.7% (88/97). The incidence of degeneration of adjacent disc above the fractured vertebral was 29.0% (9/31) in control group and 52.6% (30/57) in treatment group. It presented a statistically significant difference between two groups about the incidence of adjacent disc degeneration (P =0.033). The percentage of adjacent disc height reduction in control group was 13.5% and 17.6% in treatment group. Statistically significant difference of VAS score and ODI was not found between the first evaluation postoperatively and the final follow-up in treatment group (P>0.05).
    Conclusions: Disc degeneration adjacent to the fractured vertebral is accelerated by VP and BK procedures in the early stage, but clinical outcomes has not been weakened even in the presence of accelerated disc degeneration.

      Increasing Muscle Mass by Deletion of Myostatin Improves Metabolic and Vascular Function in Obese (db/db) Mice

      Qiu, Shuiqing; Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (2014)
      Obesity is the major emerging risk factor in the disease burden of western cultures. Obesity significantly reduces both metabolic and cardiovascular function, most notably inducing a state of insulin resistance in the former case and impeding endothelial control of vascular function in the latter. Mechanisms underpinning these defects are poorly understood and interventional therapies remain few. Exercise is a powerful method to limit or improve obesity-associated diseases, improving metabolic syndrome markers and endothelial function in obese patients. The salutatory effects of exercise are multi-factorial and include increases in muscle size and quality, reduction in fat mass and alterations in the components of plasma milieu. The relationships between the physiologic changes induced by exercise and improvements in metabolic and cardiovascular function are poorly defined. Myostatin, a TGF-β family member, is secreted by muscle, limits muscle growth and stimulates adipose tissue accumulation. Thus deletion of myostatin permits a method of assessing whether a component of exercise, increases in muscle mass, has positive effects on metabolic and vascular function. While myostatin deletion can improve glucose tolerance, the mechanisms are unclear. Whether myostatin deletion improves endothelial function in obesity is also not clear. The overall goal of the current study was to determine if increasing muscle mass by deletion of myostatin improves metabolic and vascular function in obese (db/db) mice.
