Original Source: Risk factors for cage retropulsion after posterior lumbar interbody fusion: analysis of 1070 cases.
STUDY DESIGN.: Single-center retrospective study. OBJECTIVE.: We examined the risk factors for cage retropulsion after posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) performed for patients with degenerative lumbar spinal diseases. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA.: Although PLIF is a widely accepted procedure, problems remain regarding perioperative and postoperative complications. There are few reported studies identifying specific risk factors for cage retropulsion, one of the implant-related complications after PLIF...

Cytotoxic lymphocyte associated molecule 4 CTLA 4 CD152
Cytotoxic lymphocyte-associated molecule-4 (CTLA-4, CD152) is a member of the CD28 receptor family which is expressed on the surface of Helper T cells. CTLA-4 is similar to the T-cell costimulatory pr...
Cleft means 'split' or 'separation', and in Cleft Palate and Lip, the palate and lip are split respectively. This occurs as a congenital abnormality because during development in the...
Bone morphogenetic protein rhBMP
Bone morphogenetic protein 2 (rhBMP-2) is approved by the Food and Drug Administration for anterior lumbar interbody fusion and for acute open tibial fractures; rhBMP-7, on the other hand, is approved...
Although the human cytokines interleukin-2 (IL-2) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) alpha are approved marketed for tumor therapy, their use is rather limited due to severe systemic side effects. Targ...

We investigated whether soluble EBV gH/gL (sgH/gL) functions in fusion and made a series of truncations of gH/gL domains based on the gH/gL crystal structure. We found sgH/gL failed to mediate cell-ce...
Side chain packing below the fusion peptide strongly modulates triggering of the Hendra F protein.
Triggering of the Hendra fusion protein is required to initiate the conformational changes which drive membrane fusion, but the factors which control triggering remain poorly understood. Mutation of a...
Membrane fusion intermediates via directional and full assembly of the SNARE complex.
Cellular membrane fusion is thought to proceed through intermediates including docking of apposed lipid bilayers, merging of proximal leaflets to form a hemifusion diaphragm, and fusion pore opening....
