“…Radiographic measurements included (A) the distance from the recess to the transverse foramen (RTF); (B) the tricortical screw zone (TSZ); (C) the lateral mass height along the C1ZAS trajectory (LMH); (D) the screw length of C1ZAS (ZSL); (E) the screw length of C1 PS (PSL); (F) the distances from the recess to the dura (RD); (G) the distance from the recess to the spinal cord (RSC); (H) the distance from the inner of lateral mass to the spinal cord (ILMSC). During the period of January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2023, C1ZAS placement with “in–out–in” technique was used as an alternative option for C1 PS in 8 patients with AAD and unilateral/bilateral narrow C1 pedicles. …”

Exhaustion of CD8pos central memory regulatory T cell differentiation is involved in renal allograft rejection by Florian Kälble, Jonas Leonhard, Jonas Leonhard, Martin Zeier, Oliver Zivanovic, Matthias Schaier, Andrea Steinborn

“…We were investigating whether changed differentiation of CCR7posCD45RAposCD31pos recent thymic emigrant (RTE) cells via CD45RAnegCD31pos memory (CD31pos memory) cells (pathway 1), via direct proliferation (pathway 2), or via CCR7posCD45RA+CD31neg resting mature naïve (MN) cells (pathway 3) into CD45RAnegCD31neg memory (CD31neg memory) cells affects the CD8pos Treg/Tresp ratio or identifies a CD8pos Treg/Tresp subset that predicts or confirms renal allograft rejection.ResultsWe found that RTE Treg differentiation via pathway 1 was age-independently increased in KTR, who developed graft rejection during the follow-up period, leading to abundant MN Treg and central memory Treg (CM Treg) production and favoring a strongly increased CD8pos Treg/Tresp ratio. …”
