Kombucha-synthesized bacterial cellulose: preparation, characterization, and biocompatibility evaluation.

Zhu C1, Li F, Zhou X, Lin L, Zhang T.
Journal of biomedical materials research. Part A.J Biomed Mater Res A.2014 May;102(5):1548-57. doi: 10.1002/jbm.a.34796. Epub 2013 Jul 3.
Bacterial cellulose (BC) is a natural biomaterial with unique properties suitable for tissue engineering applications, but it has not yet been used for preparing nerve conduits to repair peripheral nerve injuries. The objectives of this study were to prepare and characterize the Kampuchea-synthesize

Iatrogenic injury to the erector spinae during posterior lumbar spine surgery: underlying anatomical considerations, preventable root causes, and surgical tips and tricks.

Hu ZJ1, Fang XQ, Fan SW.
European journal of orthopaedic surgery & traumatology : orthopédie traumatologie.Eur J Orthop Surg Traumatol.2014 Feb;24(2):127-35. doi: 10.1007/s00590-012-1167-9. Epub 2013 Feb 17.
The approach-related morbidity resulting from iatrogenic erector spinae injury in posterior lumbar surgery has become an increasing concern for spine surgeons. Many studies have explained the injury mechanisms and reported new surgical approaches to prevent this iatrogenic injury from their own poin
