“…Additionally, under the influence of the inflammatory microenvironment, the reaction time of inflammation differs [ 8 , 9 ]. For example, after discectomy, the inflammatory cycle can be sustained for more than 14 days [ 7 , 10 ]. Furthermore, studies have shown that TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 play an important role in the acute phase [ 7 ].…”

Surgery is the final choice for most patients with intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD). Operation-caused trauma will cause inflammation in the intervertebral disc. Serious inflammation will cause tissue defects and induce tissue degeneration, IDD recurrence and the occurrence of other diseases. Therefore, we proposed a scheme to treat recurrence after discectomy by inhibiting inflammation with an aspirin (ASP)-loaded hydrogel to restore the mechanical stability of the spine and relieve local inflammation. ASP-liposomes (ASP-Lips) were incorporated into a photocrosslinkable gelatin-methacryloyl (GelMA) via mixing. This material can effectively alleviate inflammation by inhibiting the release of high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) from the nucleus to the cytoplasm. We further assessed the expression of inflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin 6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and degeneration-related factors, such as type II collagen (COL-2), Aggrecan, matrix metallopeptidases-3 (MMP-3), MMP-13, a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs-4 (ADAMTS-4) and ADAMTS-5 in rat nucleus pulpous cells. The level of IDD was analyzed through H&E, safranin-O staining and immunohistochemistry in rabbit samples. In vitro , we found that ASP-Lip@GelMA treatment significantly decreased inflammatory cytokines, MMP-3 and -13, and ADAMTS-4 and -5 and up-regulated COL-2 and Aggrecan via the inhibited release of HMGB-1 from the nucleus. In vivo, ASP-Lip@GelMA can effectively inhibit inflammation of local tissue after disc surgery and fill local tissue defects. This composite hydrogel system is a promising way to treat the recurrence of IDD after surgery without persistent complications.

“…20 Furthermore, the literature reported spontaneous PS cases that involve multiple levels. [6][7][8][9][10][11] However, multiple noncontiguous spontaneous PS is rare and has only been explained in the literature by case reports and case series. We present a case report of multiple noncontiguous PS involving the cervical and lumbar spine following a mastectomy for breast cancer.…”

Background Data: Multiple noncontiguous spontaneous pyogenic spondylodiscitis is rare and has only been explained in the literature by case reports and case series. Purpose: We present a case report of multiple noncontiguous spontaneous spondylodiscitis caused by E. coli involving the cervical and lumbar spine following a mastectomy for breast cancer. We will explain the difficulties in diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up with the concomitant. Study Design: A case report and literature review. Case Report: A middle-aged patient with a history of breast carcinoma underwent surgery. Two weeks after mastectomy, the patient developed severe cervical and lumbar spine pain and a low-grade fever (37.5-38.3 °C). Moreover, neurological examination revealed a right-sided antalgic gait, right-sided weakness, and a positive straight leg raising test. Upon presentation, elevated C-reactive protein (CRP) and white blood cells (WBC) were noted. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed consistent spondylodiscitis at C5-C6 and L3-L4 levels with stenotic features at L4-L5 levels. Surgical treatment of the lumbar region via posterior spinal instrumentation from L3 to L5 levels and decompression was done with a biopsy. Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) CRP titers were also performed for the follow-up plan, which showed a reduction in 3, 6, and 12 weeks postoperatively. Conservative treatment of the cervical region was undertaken with a complete cure. Conclusion: Multiple noncontiguous spondylodiscitis after nonspinal surgery is a relatively rare complication requiring a high suspicion index. Surgery is recommended in case of failure of conservative measures, neurological deficit, or mechanical instability as in this case. Furthermore, both clinical examination and blood tests should be used to assess the treatment outcomes. (2021ESJ246)
