Decreased DNA methylation in the promoter region of the WNT5A and GDNF genes may promote the osteogenicity of mesenchymal stem cells from patients with ossified spinal ligaments.

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) isolated from spinal ligaments with ectopic ossification have a propensity toward the osteogenic lineage. To explore epigenetic control of the osteogenic features of MSCs, we treated MSCs obtained from the spinal ligaments of ossification of yellow ligament (OYL) patien

We describe two surgical strategies for treating thoracic spinal stenosis (TSS) with ossification of the ligamentum flavum (OLF) and dural ossification (DO), and discuss their postoperative efficacy. From January 2004 to June 2008, 147 patients underwent TSS surgery. Thirty three of those with intra

The impact of dynamic factors on surgical outcomes after double-door laminoplasty for ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament of the cervical spine.

Journal of neurosurgery. Spine.J Neurosurg Spine.2014 Dec;21(6):938-43. doi: 10.3171/2014.8.SPINE131197. Epub 2014 Oct 3.
OBJECT: Laminoplasty is the preferred operation for most patients with cervical myelopathy due to multilevel ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL). Recent studies have demonstrated several significant risk factors for poor clinical outcomes after laminoplasty, including older ag
