3D-PRINTED POROUS TITANIUM VERSUS POLYETHERETHERKETONE CAGES IN LATERAL LUMBAR INTERBODY FUSION: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW AND META-ANALYSIS OF SUBSIDENCE

3D-printed porous titanium versus polyetheretherketone cages in lateral lumbar interbody fusion: a systematic review and meta-analysis of subsidence

BackgroundCage subsidence frequently complicates lumbar fusion procedures, including lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF), potentially leading to recurrent pain, impaired fusion, and accelerated degeneration of adjacent segments.A critical factor influencing cage subsidence is the selection of material.Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) and three-dimens

Arbuscular mycorrhizal symbioses alleviating salt stress in maize is associated with a decline in root-to-leaf gradient of Na+/K+ ratio

Abstract Background Inoculation of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi has the potential to alleviate salt stress in host plants through the mitigation of ionic imbalance.However, inoculation effects vary, and the underlying mechanisms remain unclear.Two maize genotypes (JD52, salt-tolerant with large root system, and FSY1, salt-sensitive with small
