The maintenance of the height and stability of the intervertebral disc(IVD) space is an effective treatment for LBP. The following study evaluated the effects of fibroblast injection on intervertebral disc degeneration(IDD) in a preclinical setting. Compared with the IDD group, the fibroblast treatment group demonstrated effective maintenance of IVD height, reduced endplate degeneration, and improved nuclear magnetic resonance signals and overall histological structure. In doing so, fibrotic IVDs maintained the stability and biomechanics of the vertebra. This finding is in agreement with clinical findings that human nucleus pulposus(NP) fibrosis is essential for the maintenance of IVD height and mechanical properties in patients following percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy(PELD). Mechanistically, we demonstrated that injected fibroblasts not only proliferated but also induced NP cells to adopt a fibrotic phenotype via the secretion of TGF-β.Finally, to better mimic human conditions, the efficacy of autologous fibroblast injection in the treatment of IDD was further examined in a nonhuman primate cynomolgus monkey model due to their capacity for upright posture. We showed that the injection of fibroblasts could maintain the IVD height and rescue IVD signals in cynomolgus monkeys. Taken together, the results of our study reveal that autologous fibroblast injection can enhance the natural process of fibrosis during acute and subacute stages of stress-induced IDD. Fibrotic IVDs can maintain the stability, biological activity, and mechanical properties of the intervertebral space, thus providing a new direction for the treatment of intervertebral space-derived lumbar degenerative diseases.展开更多

Rapidand accurate detection of system anomalies is of great significance to ensure system stability. However, large-scale distributed systems are becoming more andmore complex, and the number of system logs gradually increases, which bringschallenges to analyze system logs. Some recent studies show that logs can beunstable due to the evolution of log statements and noise introduced by log collection and parsing. Moreover, deep learning-based detection methods take a longtime to train models. Therefore, to reduce the computational cost and avoid loginstability we propose a new Word2Vec-based log unsupervised anomaly detection method (LogUAD). LogUAD does not require a log parsing step and takesoriginal log messages as input to avoid the noise. LogUAD uses Word2Vec togenerate word vectors and generates weighted log sequence feature vectors withTF-IDF to handle the evolution of log statements. At last, a computationally effi-cient unsupervised clustering is exploited to detect the anomaly. We conductedextensive experiments on the public dataset from Blue Gene/L (BGL). Experimental results show that the F1-score of LogUAD can be improved by 67.25%compared to LogCluster.展开更多
