Comparative Analysis of Two Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion (TLIF) Procedures in the Treatment of Single-Level Lumbar Spinal Stenosis (LSS): A Single-Center, Prospective, Randomized Controlled Trial

Lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS), a common degenerative lumbar condition characterized by low back pain, leg pain, and neurogenic claudication, significantly impairs patients' quality of life. Its prevalence continues to rise with the aging population. For patients who do not respond to conservative treatment, surgical intervention remains a key therapeutic approach, with lumbar interbody fusion (LIF) being a commonly employed procedure. The technique has evolved from posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) to transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) and, more recently, to minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MIS-TLIF). Although MIS-TLIF can effectively reduce tissue trauma and complications, it still faces clinical challenges such as intraoperative visual blind spots and the potential for postoperative chronic back pain associated with reliance on conventional pedicle screws. To address these limitations, our research team independently developed a highly integrated, miniaturized (with an outer diameter of only 1.8 mm), and maneuverable L-Unitary Soft Endoscope (LUSE) minimally invasive system. Its unique design helps avoid obstruction of the surgical field and allows flexible adjustment during the procedure. Currently, there is a lack of clinical efficacy evaluations in China on the use of this LUSE system for TLIF surgery (referred to as LUSE-TLIF) in treating LSS. Therefore, this study aims to systematically compare LUSE-TLIF with the currently mainstream MIS-TLIF, evaluating its safety, efficacy, and clinical outcomes in the treatment of LSS, in order to provide spine surgeons with a novel and potentially superior minimally invasive surgical option.

Prospective User Study and Multicenter Validation of Multimodal Medical Imaging Large Models

This study aims to evaluate the diagnostic performance and clinical utility of a multimodal medical imaging large model in identifying common systemic diseases. Through a retrospective reader study involving multiple centers, the research will compare the diagnostic accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of radiologists with and without AI assistance. The goal is to validate the model's robustness and its impact on the diagnostic efficiency of clinicians across diverse healthcare settings.

Safety and Efficacy of Fourth-Generation CAR-T in the Treatment of Hematologic Malignancies

This is a single center, open-label, dose-escalation/expansion clinical study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of Fourth-Generation CAR-T, and determine the recommended dose of the CAR T-cells for patients with Multiple Myeloma,B-cell lymphoma and other hematologic malignancies.

Autologous Costal Osteochondral Transplantation for Talar Osteochondral Lesions

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of autologous costal osteochondral transplantation in the treatment of Hepple Stage V talar osteochondral lesions, compared with autologous osteoperiosteal transplantation. The main question it aims to answer is: • Whether autologous costal osteochondral transplantation can achieve better clinical outcomes and cartilage repair quality with lower donor site morbidity than autologous osteoperiosteal transplantation in the treatment of Hepple Stage V talar osteochondral lesions. Participants will be randomly assigned to the intervention group (undergoing autologous costal osteochondral transplantation) or the control group (undergoing autologous osteoperiosteal transplantation). Both groups of participants will receive the same postoperative rehabilitation process and follow-up evaluation.
