Changes of inflammatory cytokines in vertebral compression fractures patients with percutaneous balloon kyphoplasty.

abstract：PURPOSE:Akt/mTOR/p70S6K signaling pathway promotes motor function recovery after spinal cord injury (SCI) in both neurons and astrocytes. But the role and mechanism of this pathway in oligodendrocytes during nerve repair following SCI has not been researched. This study aimed to investigate the effect and mechanism of ...
