Geobacillus stearothermophilus purine nucleoside phosphorylase, an enzyme of biocatalytic interest, is reported and was found to include the presence of an N-terminal tag in the active site of each subunit that belongs to the other subunit in each dimer. This serves as a warning that while tags enable simple and economic purification for proteins of industrial interest, care needs to be taken to ensure that they do not have unwanted effects on protein structure and function.The structure of  Geobacillus stearothermophilus, a thermostable protein of potential interest for the biocatalytic synthesis of antiviral nucleoside compounds, is reported. The structure of the N-terminally His-tagged enzyme is a hexamer, as is typical of bacterial homologues, with a trimer-of-dimers arrangement. Unexpectedly, several residues of the recombinant tobacco etch virus protease (rTEV) cleavage site from the N-terminal tag are located in the active site of the neighbouring subunit in the dimer. Key to this interaction is a tyrosine residue, which sits where the nucleoside ring of the substrate would normally be located. Tag binding appears to be driven by a combination of enthalpic, entropic and proximity effects, which convey a particularly high affinity in the crystallized form. Attempts to cleave the tag in solution yielded only a small fraction of untagged protein, suggesting that the enzyme predominantly exists in the tag-bound form in solution, preventing rTEV from accessing the cleavage site. However, the tagged protein retained some activity in solution, suggesting that the tag does not completely block the active site, but may act as a competitive inhibitor. This serves as a warning that it is prudent to establish how affinity tags may affect protein structure and function, especially for industrial biocatalytic applications that rely on the efficiency and convenience of one-pot purifications and in cases where tag removal is difficult.The 1.72 Å resolution structure of purine nucleoside phosphorylase from  This enzyme performs the reversible phosphorolysis of nucleosides to form ribose 1-phosphate and a purine base .PNPases are potential antimicrobial drug targets (Pant 2.2.1.GsePNPase gene from G. stearothermophilus (KEGG GT50_19015[TA1]) was purchased as a synthetic gene from GenScript. The gene was amplified and inserted into a pET-30a expression vector by In-Fusion cloning  cells for protein expression. The cultures were grown at 37°C in lysogeny broth medium with 100 µM kanamycin until the optical density was in the range 0.4–0.6; protein expression was then induced using isopropyl β-d-1-thiogalactopyranoside at a final concentration of 100 µM and the cells were grown overnight at 18°C. The cells were harvested by centrifugation at 12 000g for 15 min and the resultant cell pellets were stored at −80°C until use.The purified plasmid was transformed into chemically competent M HEPES pH 7.6, 100 mM NaCl, 20 mM imidazole) and lysed by sonication. Following centrifugation, the supernatant was filtered through a 0.22 µm filter and then purified by immobilized metal-affinity chromatography (IMAC) on a HisTrap FF column (Cytiva). The protein was eluted from the column using a gradient of elution buffer . Size-exclusion chromatography on a Superdex 10/300 column run in storage buffer  was then used to further purify the protein prior to crystallography. Purified protein was stored at −80°C until use. Protein concentration was determined from the UV absorbance in a NanoDrop spectrophotometer (ThermoFisher) using a theoretical molar extinction coefficient of 27 515 M−1 cm−1 as determined by ProtParam phosphine (TCEP) was added. Purified rTEV was added at a ratio of 1:10 rTEV:protein. The sample was left overnight at 4°C or incubated at 37°C for 4 h and then incubated at 4°C overnight before a second IMAC purification was performed. Macromolecule-production information is summarized in Table 1When cleavage by recombinant TEV (rTEV) was attempted, 1 m2.2.GsePNPase was crystallized using 25 mg ml−1 protein at a 2:1 protein:well solution ratio  using the commercial MORPHEUS protein crystallization screen , with the His-GsePNPase sequence docked onto it, was used in molecular replacement to solve the structure of His-GsePNPase. The His-GsePNPase sequence was docked onto the model using CHAINSAW , as well as to refine the solution and reduce the R factor. REFMAC5  were present in the asymmetric unit, from which the hexameric biological assembly can be generated through the application of crystallographic symmetry operations . The hexameric structure shows threefold symmetry through the ring-shaped hexamer and His-GsePNPase can be viewed as being a trimer of dimers , like other hexameric PNPases  in a PDBeFold search  and two β-sheets . The first β-sheet (S1–S4) has four strands, with S3 antiparallel, and the second sheet forms a sheet-like barrel roll (S5–S10) with S5 and S10 antiparallel. Based on analysis in SCOP, His-GsePNPase is part of the phosphorylase/hydrolase-like fold superfamily, as are other PNPases  and there are six active sites in the hexamer. The active site is mostly formed from residues from one subunit, with additional contributing residues from the other subunit in each dimer pair . There is high sequence and structural conservation between the active sites of EcPNPase and His-GsePNPase. In EcPNPase, the residues that interact with the purine base were identified as Ala156, Phe159, Val178, Met180, Asp204 and Ile206 . The ribose-binding site in EcPNPase is primarily formed by interactions with Glu181 from one subunit and His4 from an adjacent subunit . The phosphate-binding site of EcPNPase is comprised of two arginine residues, Arg87 from one subunit and Arg43 from an adjacent subunit, and these residues are also conserved in His-GsePNPase .The active sites are formed close to the interfaces between two subunits  from the nine-residue rTEV site (ENLYFQGAM) in the N-terminal tag. This portion of the rTEV site was observed to be bound in the active site of the adjacent subunit in each dimer  consistently across all dimers in the hexameric structure. The interactions between the active site and the N-terminal tag are dominated by the Tyr residue in the rTEV recognition site. This residue is oriented in a similar way to the purine-base part of the substrate . This similarity in binding pose suggests that the hydrophobic stacking interactions that this residue makes with active-site residues may contribute to holding the N-terminal tag in its position bound to the active site and thus also potentially prevent access to and cleavage by the protease which cuts between Gln and Gly in the sequence.One surprising aspect of the His-er Fig. 3a consiste Fig. 3c. This 3.53.EcPNPase; Mao et al., 1997et al., 2017GsePNPase H7 consists of residues Val200–Gln217. In EcPNPase two different active-site conformations have been observed, denoted as ‘open’ (nonsegmented form) and ‘closed’ (segmented form) , with the occupation of the active site by the tag precluding the ability of the helix to segment and adopt the ‘closed’ conformation.PNPase structures feature an α-helix . The enzymatic activity implies that the active site must be at least somewhat accessible to the substrate under standard assay conditions. However, it is important to keep in mind that while substrates can compete with the tag for active-site binding in solution, the reverse may also be true, i.e. the tag may compete with substrates, potentially affecting the activity of the enzyme.The strong affinity of the tag for the active site in the crystallized form is supported by the results of crystallization screening experiments in the presence of high concentrations of the PNPase inhibitor acyclovir and the substrate 7-methylguanine, which show that neither substrate is capable of displacing the tag from the active site. However, UV–Vis activity assays tell a different story, demonstrating that N-terminally tagged His-GsePNPase exists in a tag-bound form in both the solution and crystalline phases, but with a lower affinity in solution due to entropic favourability of the disordered unbound form partially counterbalancing the binding enthalpy. This situation, along with the more dynamic nature of proteins in solution in general, may explain why substrate binding is observed in activity assays but not in crystallization screening.Taken together, this evidence suggests that it is most likely that His-3.7.GsePNPase may also have a native affinity for peptide substrates and an ability to accommodate peptide binding.

The ice abrasive air jet is a clean surface treatment technology, which currently has limitations such as high energy consumption, uncontrollable particle size and hardness. Realizing the instant preparation and utilization of ice particles are crucial for solving the energy consumption problem. This paper based on the icing principle of heterogeneous nucleation, proposed a new method of ice making, the heat transfer mechanism of low temperature droplets was studied, and the method was proved to be feasible. Using the FLUENT solidification and melting model combined with the VOF model to calculate the freezing process of droplets, the effects of droplet particle size, initial temperature, and wall temperature on the freezing time were analyzed, and the calculation equation of the freezing time was determined, which was corrected by the icing test results. The results showed that the outside of the droplet freezes first, the liquid–solid boundary is parabolic, and the parabolic concavity increases with time and droplet size. In the freezing process, the larger the droplet size, the longer the droplet phase transition time; the higher the droplet initial temperature, the longer it took to reach the phase transition; the higher the wall temperature, the longer the ice formation time. For example, sandblasting surface treatment, sand dust, and surface waste significantly pollute the operating environment, compromising the occupational safety and health of the operators. It is difficult to separate the sand dust from the waste surface mixture, and the abrasive cannot be recycled, thereby increasing the cost of pollutant and waste treatment operations4. Environmental pollution and occupational health hazards caused by the subsidiary products of chemical treatment methods are considerable, and chemical reagents reduce the physical and mechanical properties of the workpiece7. The hydraulic cleaning method uses the impact of high-pressure water jets and water sledging to destroy the rust and the adhesion of the coating to the steel plate, and the quality of rust removal is good, but the steel plate after rust removal is easy to return to rust8. In contrast, dry ice blasting is an efficient and environmentally friendly method for cleaning contaminated surfaces, but it requires a large amount of compressed air, which is currently one of the most expensive forms of energy used in the industry10. Therefore, the development of an environmentally friendly and efficient surface treatment is imperative. Ice abrasive air jets with high-pressure gas accelerate ice particles, whose high speed results in sufficient impact energy to process the surface of the workpiece12. The ice particles are broken and melted after impact, accelerating the settling time of solid waste and reducing the pollution of the working environment. As ice particles and solid waste do not have to be separated, engineering costs are reduced, and work efficiency is improved. The ice abrasive air jet has unique advantages in the field of surface treatment; surface cleaning by ice particle jetting was pioneered by Galecki13 in Poland, who prepared ice particles by breaking a 3 cm3 block of ice and used a high speed air stream to entrain the ice particles. The particles were drawn in, mixed with the high-speed airflow, and then shot at the surface of the specimen to be cleaned. Subsequently, Lie14 and others in the United States used dry ice foam as a solidifying core to prepare ice jets and performed experimental studies on descaling and grooving. However, because of the problems involved in the preparation, storage, and transportation of ice particles, it has not been widely promoted and applied17. Shishkin proposed a mechanical ice-breaking method. However, the broken ice particles need to be stored in a low-temperature environment for a long time, leading to higher energy consumption and easy adhesion of the ice particles19. Avoiding ice particle storage by instant preparation and utilization is the key to facilitating the widespread use of ice abrasive air jets.Surface treatment methods, such as paint stripping and rust removal, cause severe pollution and high energy consumption20 at New Jersey Institute of Technology had developed an ice crushing system and water freezing technique that can prepare ice pellets for surface cleaning at a certain rate. Based on the refrigerant direct contact method, Gieseler et al.21 directly sprayed liquid droplets atomized by an ultrasonic nozzle into a glass container containing refrigerant and prepared almost spherical ice particles. Li et al.12 used the spray generated by the atomization nozzle to make direct contact with the atomized liquid nitrogen, which rapidly cool in a low-temperature environment by phase change to form ice particles. Owing to the structure of the atomization nozzle, the ice particle size is small, with an average diameter of 100 24. Shin et al.23 used the flash principle of liquid drops in a vacuum environment to form tiny ice particles and designed a tiny and fast ice-particle-making system, which consisted of a water supply device, vacuum chamber, steam compressor, steam condenser, and vacuum pump. Spherical ice particles with a diameter of 50 μm and temperature of 0 °C were produced continuously using this device. However, this method requires too many equipment and is a complex process with high energy consumption, low ice-making efficiency, and no control over ice particle size and temperature. Liu et al.24 found that abrasive hardness is the main factor affecting the erosion effect. Abrasive hardness is quadratically related to erosion depth, and if the particle size is too small or too large, it cannot effectively change the erosion effect. Particle size and hardness are the key factors affecting the erosion efficiency, as the size and hardness of ice particles are the key factors that affect the efficiency of ice abrasive air jet surface treatment26.Existing instantaneous preparation methods for ice particles mainly include direct refrigerant contact, vacuum rapid cooling methods and crushed ice method. New Jersey Institute of Technology's Geskin27 had measured the freezing process of droplets with an infrared camera and numerically simulated the transient solidification process of droplets on cooled substrates with ANSYS Fluent, and the two results achieved a high degree of agreement. Similarly, Bodaghkhani28 investigated the freezing process of droplets on various wet-coolable surfaces by means of experimental and numerical simulations. Therefore, in this paper, we investigate the freezing process of liquid droplets from a combination of simulation and experiment, and compare and analyze the ice-forming mechanism of liquid droplets under different low-temperature conditions, and find a method with low energy consumption for instant preparation of ice particles. In addition, we determine the key factors that affect the formation of ice droplets, analyze the changing principle of the droplets between the key factors, and provide a reference for the instant preparation of ice particles.Therefore, in the instant preparation process of ice particles, effective control of the particle size and hardness must be achieved. Energy consumption can be reduced by improving the ice particle preparation efficiency, increasing the heat utilization rate, and shortening the freezing time. In this study, we propose a new method for the preparation of ice particles, investigate the phase change heat transfer mechanism of droplets in a low-temperature environment. Castillo31, is used to shorten the freezing time of droplets and improve the thermal conductivity of droplet heat transfer33. The substrate temperature is controlled by the liquid nitrogen flow rate, the substrate temperature is controlled by the solenoid flow meter and temperature sensor linkage control of liquid nitrogen flow rate, the error range of the solenoid flow meter is ± 0.5%, measurement range is 1.19–119.4 m3/h; the water source in the water tank is used as the raw material for the droplet generation device, the droplet particle size is controlled by the pneumatic ball valve as well as the droplet outlet diameter together, where the pneumatic ball valve supply pressure range is 0.4–0.8 Mpa, measurement range is 1–4 Mpa, the error range ± 0.2%, the droplet generator is shown in Fig. 34, after the ice particles on the substrate have completely cooled, the handle controlled the scraper to move up and down along the wall to scrape off the ice particles to the collection device. The high-speed airflow accelerated the ice particles, thus achieving uniform utilization and avoiding bonding and storage in the production process. The physical parameters of the substrate used in this experiment are listed in Table The freezing principle of heterogeneous nucleation, based on the notion that droplets exothermically phase change on a low-temperature substrate to form ice particlesThe experimental system of the ice abrasive air jet is shown in Fig. entclass1pt{minima35 The phase change interface is represented by the liquid phase coefficient, and the total enthalpy 36:The Solidification melting model method was proposed by Voller and Prakash et al. and is used in FLUENT as a porous enthalpy method in the solidification melting processwhen when 33 the method was proposed by Hirt and Nichols37. The VOF model is used to simulate the flow of two or more immiscible fluids by solving separate momentum equations and treating the volume fraction of each fluid passing through the region. The two interfaces are traced by calculating the volume fraction, when In any grid,The continuous equation is solved as38.Each fluid phase is governed by the same mass conservation, momentum conservation, and energy conservation equationsThe source term in the momentum equation is mainly reflected in the role of surface tension.40.When the solidification and melting model in FLUENT is coupled with the VOF model in multiphase flow, the algorithm first calculates the different fluid substance distributions and then the solid–liquid phase distribution of the substance. Thus, the evolution of the solid–liquid phase distribution of the solidification process inside the droplet is obtained.In order to clarify the contact state of the droplet with the vertical substrate, a droplet generator was used to generate the droplet on the substrate. As shown in Fig. 42. As shown in Table Strub used a syringe to inject droplets to simulate the cooling crystallization process in which the droplets have a complete spherical shape, while Tabakov simulated the crystallization process of droplets on the wall in which the droplets have a truncated spherical shape. The droplet exiting the droplet generator is a complete sphere, unlike the droplet on the wallThe boundary conditions in the calculation area are shown in Fig. When the temperature of the droplet is When the temperature of the droplet is The model in this paper is a low-velocity incompressible flow problem, so the pressure-based computational solver, i.e., the discrete solver, is chosen. For the kinematic phase interface in the multiphase flow problem, the PISO method can better satisfy the momentum equation and continuity equation. The calculation type is transient simulation, and the time step is set to 0.00001 s according to the calculation requirements, and the number of iterations for each time step is 20 to ensure that the results converge within each step, and the computational time domain is adjusted according to the solidification time of droplets under different environmental conditions. In the instant preparation method of ice particles used in this study, the wall temperature, initial droplet temperatures, and droplet radius are the key factors affecting droplet freezing time. Their effects on the droplet ice-forming principle were analyzed using the single variable method, taking the droplet initial temperature as an example, fixing the wall temperature as 173 K, droplet radius as 1 mm, and then altering the droplet initial temperature in turn to analyze the effect of droplet initial temperature on ice-forming. As with the other two approaches, a total of 15 simulation scenarios were designed according to the instant preparation method. The simulation scenarios are shown in Table The phase transition heat of droplets with different radii, initial temperatures, and wall temperatures was investigated to obtain the solidification of droplets on low-temperature walls, taking into account both the variation of physical parameters such as thermal conductivity and specific heat capacity with temperature, calculated using the simulation conditions in Table As an example, a droplet of radius 1 y = 1. The thermal conductivity of the droplet at the center is always smaller than thermal conductivity at the ends, the reason for this phenomenon is that thermal conductivity increases after phase change, and the volume fraction of the solid phase at the droplet's boundary is larger than that at its center. Thus, the heat transfer process is accelerated, so that the change of the liquid phase at the boundary occurs first. After the phase change, the thermal conductivity continues to increase, and the cycle continues, resulting in a relatively slow heat exchange process at the center of the droplet and a slow increase in the volume fraction of the solid phase. This dividing line principle remains constant until the droplet has completed its phase change, as shown in Fig. To clarify the parabolic-like phenomenon generated at the liquid–solid phase interface, the thermal conductivity of droplets at different radial locations was extracted, as shown in Fig. The temperature variation with time at the H-point of the droplet with a wall temperature of 173 As shown in Fig. The effect of the initial temperature on the ice-forming process was analyzed using droplets of radius 1 To further investigate the observed phenomenon, the thermal conductivity of the droplet before the phase change was analyzed, as shown in Fig. Using a droplet of radius 1 mm as an example, the effect of the wall temperature on the ice-forming process was analyzed, and the results of the calculation are shown in Fig. To clarify the effect of the wall temperature on the ice-forming principle, the temperature at the axis of the droplet with an initial temperature of 278 In summary, the lower the wall temperature, the greater the temperature difference within the droplet, the faster the thermal conductivity, and the shorter the time it takes for the droplet to reach the phase change point. The increase in the thermal conductivity of the phase-change fraction led to a further reduction in the freezing time. The results make the disparity between the droplet ice-formation time at low and high wall temperatures increasingly large, resulting in a more pronounced effect of higher wall temperatures on the ice-formation time. The temperature gradient formed at low temperatures is an important factor affecting the rate of ice formation. A comparative analysis shows that lowering the wall temperature plays an important role in eliminating the effect of the initial droplet temperature. In this case, when the cooling time is 0.9 The relationship between the droplet freezing time, n in Eq. :20\documWe obtain:α . The number of factors n = 3 and the number of times m = 15. Taking α = 0.05, the residual sum of squares Q = 0.017616, the regression sum of squares U = 23.7378, and Lyy = U + Q = 23.755416, then:On the basis of the obtained regression equation, we performed a significance F-test on the regression model and calculated the value of F0.05  = 3.59, F ≫ Fα. The F test results show that the regression model and regression coefficients have high significance. And the correlation coefficient test results show that the model is highly correlated with each factor.The F distribution table was checked and the critical value FThe instant ice particle preparation system is shown in Fig. The experimentally obtained freezing times of the droplets under different conditions are listed in Table The fitted droplet freezing times and experimental values under the same conditions were compared to verify their accuracy, as shown in Fig. A new method for the instant preparation of ice particles on a vertical low-temperature wall is proposed using the principle of heterogeneous nucleation. Based on the experimental analysis of the droplet shape on a vertical low-temperature wall, a physical model for the numerical calculation of the droplet was established. The results show that the freezing time of the droplets is impacted by the droplet size, initial temperature, and wall temperature. Through the established droplet ice-forming model, it was concluded that the droplet ice-forming time (Based on the results of a numerical simulation study of a single droplet on a low-temperature wall, it was found that the liquid droplet close to the wall will freeze first, and the liquid–solid interface develops along the radial direction with time, but it does not increase linearly along the cross-section of the droplet. The boundary of the droplet freezes before the center of the droplet forming a parabolic liquid–solid boundary because the thermal conductivity of the boundary increases, resulting in an increase in the icing rate, and this trend continues. As the time and droplet size increased, the parabolic-like concavity increased.In the freezing process, the thermal conductivity of the droplet changes as the temperature and solid volume fraction constantly change. The larger the droplet size, the longer its duration in the phase change stage. The rate in the cryogenic phase is greater than that in the phase change stage, and the droplet phase change completion time and cryogenic time continue to increase. When the initial temperature of the droplet is higher, the time for the droplet to reach the phase transition point increases gradually. The higher the wall temperature, the more noticeable the influence on the ice-forming time, and the longer the ice freezing time.This study innovatively proposes a new method for the instant preparation of ice particles, and clarifies the relationship between droplet freezing time and droplet size, initial temperature and wall temperature in the icing process of heterogeneous nucleation, proves the feasibility of the instant preparation method, and provides new methods and ideas for the improvement of ice particle preparation methods in the future.


The results show that dual-segment fixation and hybrid screw placement can provide greater stiffness, which is beneficial for maintaining the biomechanical stability of the spine. Meanwhile, each segment’s range of motion is reduced after fusion, and the loss of adjacent segments’ range of motion is more obvious with longer fusion segments, thereby leading to adjacent-segment disease (ASD). Long-segment internal fixation can equalize total spinal stresses. Additionally, cortical bone trajectory screws perform better in terms of the rotation resistance of fusion segments, while pedicle screw screws perform better in terms of flexion–extension resistance, as well as lateral bending. Moreover, the maximum screw stress of L4 cortical bone trajectory/L5 pedicle screw is the highest, followed by L45 cortical bone trajectory. This biomechanical analysis can accordingly provide inspiration for the choice of intervertebral fusion strategy.Numerous screw fixation systems have evolved in clinical practice as a result of advances in screw insertion technology. Currently, pedicle screw (PS) fixation technology is recognized as the gold standard of posterior lumbar fusion, but it can also have some negative complications, such as screw loosening, pullout, and breakage. To address these concerns, cortical bone trajectory (CBT) has been proposed and gradually developed. However, it is still unclear whether cortical bone trajectory can achieve similar mechanical stability to pedicle screw and whether the combination of pedicle screw + cortical bone trajectory fixation can provide a suitable mechanical environment in the intervertebral space. The present study aimed to investigate the biomechanical responses of the lumbar spine with pedicle screw and cortical bone trajectory fixation. Accordingly, finite element analysis (FEA) and  Numerous intervertebral fusion techniques have arisen as a result of the ongoing upgrading of internal fixation techniques. There are several intervertebral fusion techniques, since internal fixation techniques are always being updated. After short-segment fixation, ASD may emerge, necessitating the selection of yet another surgical strategy. The traditional trajectory for PS requires significant tissue dissection and muscle retraction, whereas the cortical bone trajectory (CBT) screw has the advantages of minimal muscle damage and the preservation of the superior facet joint  Figure . Many biFor the treatment of lumbar instability and ADS surgery, a precise biomechanical analysis of the various surgical modalities is necessary to choose the best option for effective lumbar internal fixation. To define the intricate biomechanical characteristics of the lumbar spine, complementary methods include FEA and IVEs . In thisThe research was approved by the Science and Ethics Committee of the School of Biological Science and Medical Engineering at Beihang University (protocol code: BM20220087).In this study, we established one intact model, three common clinical single-segment fusion groups, and three dual-segment fusion groups for the treatment of ASD, with a total of seven groups of models: 1) the intact model, 2) the L45PS model, 3) the L45CBT model, 4) the L4CBT/L5 PS model, 5) the L345 PS model, 6) the L34CBT/L45PS model, and 7) the L3CBT lateral connection L45PS (L3CBT-L45PS) model .Seven adult spine specimens  were selected, preserving CT imaging data without obvious imaging abnormalities, such as lumbar spine trauma, tumor, tuberculosis, scoliosis, lumbar spondylolisthesis, ischial cleft, and other diseases. Before the experiment, the specimens were wrapped in multiple layers of cling film and stored at a temperature of −20°C. The specimens were then thawed at a temperature of 4°C for 12–18 h. Using the T12-S1 section of the lumbar spine as the experimental sample, the muscles and soft tissues surrounding the vertebrae were removed in accordance with the anatomical structure, but the ligaments, tiny joints, and intervertebral discs were left in place. The specimens were kept moist with 0.9% saline throughout the testing procedure. The upper end of the L1 vertebral body and the caudal end of the S1 vertebral body was embedded in polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) using a custom-made embedding cassette mounted on the testing device . Screw pThe upper end of vertebra L1 is fixedly attached to the front end of a six-degree-of-freedom robotic arm , and the tail vertebra S1 is embedded in a fixed base frame. A moment sensor  is mounted on the head of the robot arm to record applied forces and moments and provide real-time feedback. The NDI system  captures the motion path of each vertebral segment by recording the position of several sets of marker points. Motion data acquisition utilizes the 3D spatial coordinate system differences of the NDI system to determine the relative motion position of the vertebral body. In this experiment, five marker points were fixed at T12, L1, L2, L3, L4, L5, and the base (reference point) for capturing the motion path of each segment during lumbar vertebral motion .The experimental loading method was as follows: a Panjabi pure moment loading control protocol was used with a constant loading rate of 1.0°/s . In the High-resolution CT scans were performed on the specimens, and the obtained DICOM data were imported into Mimics 21.0  to obtain the T12-S1 vertebrae by threshold segmentation. To obtain a high-quality vertebral model, the model was processed in Geomagic Studio 2013  for denoising, smoothing, and fitting the surface; the medullary nucleus and fibrous ring matrix were drawn in Solidworks . The entire model was meshed and the ligament and annulus fibrosus fibers were created in Hypermesh . The material properties, set boundaries, loading conditions, and computational conditions were defined, and the FEA was completed in Abaqus  .The bone tissue consists of cortical and cancellous elements. The intervertebral disc has a nucleus pulposus, a fibrous annulus matrix, and fibrous annulus fibrosus, which is divided into seven layers . The modThe local muscle force of the lumbar spine was provided by a follower load of 200 N , and a pThe ROM of each segmental value measured by the model was compared with the experimental data reported in previous studies to validate the plausibility of the model. Mean ROM values were measured in each motion type and the results were compared with previously published biomechanical experiments and FEA . The treIn this study, the following parameters were evaluated: 1) compressive stiffness in the T12-S segment; 2) overall ROM; 3) ROM of the adjacent segment; 4) ROM of each segment of T12-L5; and 5) Von Mises stress distribution of the screw–rod system.The results of the FEM group and the IVE group showed that the stiffness of dual-segment internal fixation was stronger than that of single-segment internal fixation, and both were greater than that of the intact model, showing a specific variation pattern. The FEM group’s changing trend in single-segment internal fixation stiffness was significantly less, but the changing trend in the IVE group was clear. The results reveal that the FEM group followed the same pattern as the IVE group: L34CBT/L45PS > L3CBT-L45PS > L345PS > L4CBT/L5PS > L45CBT > L45PS> Intact. .FEM group: Compared with the intact model, the L45CBT significantly decreased ROM in flexion–extension and lateral bending conditions, but decreased ROM less in rotation. L4CBT/L5PS rotational ROM decreased the most, but ROM was decreased less in flexion and extension and lateral bending conditions. L345PS, L34CBT/L45PS, and L3CBT-L45PS displayed similar ROM performance in flexion and extension and lateral bending, and L345PS rotational ROM was less decreased. IVE group: Compared with the intact model, the overall ROM of the L45CBT was significantly reduced in flexion–extension and lateral bending conditions, but less in rotation. L45PS rotational ROM loss was significant, but ROM was decreased less in flexion and extension and lateral bending conditions. L34CBT/L45PS had a significant decrease in flexion–extension and rotational ROM. L3CBT-L45PS showed a significant decrease in ROM in lateral bending, and a slightly greater decrease in ROM in the two-segment internal fixation approach than in the single-segment internal fixation approach .Following internal fixation surgery, both the FEM group and the IVE group saw varying degrees of ROM loss in adjacent-segment mobility.FEM group: Compared with the intact model, the adjacent-segment (L3) ROM of the single-segment fusion (L4-L5) was decreased. In the three conditions of flexion–extension, lateral bending, and rotational ROM, L45PS decreased by 80.1%, 73.3%, and 72.7%; L45CBT decreased by 80.9%, 70.1%, and 72.6%; and L4CBT/L5PS decreased by 72.6%, 62.5%, and 67.4%, respectively. Compared with the intact model, the adjacent-segment (L2) ROM of the dual-segment fusion (L3-L5) was decreased. L345PS decreased by 63.0%, 65.5%, and 53.7%; L3CBT-L45PS decreased by 61.6%, 65.9%, and 44.2%; and L34CBT/L45PS decreased by 54.8%, 61.8%, and 48.3% .The ROM of the adjacent segments between the single/dual-segment internal fixation is determined by the L3 segment and L2 segment, and since they are not the same segment, the single-segment internal fixation L2 segment was analyzed to facilitate a better comparison with the dual-segment internal fixation surgical approach. The outcomes demonstrated comparable changes in adjacent-segment ROM with the identical fusion segment, and the surgical technique used had no appreciable impact on adjacent-segment ROM. However, there was a difference between single-segment and dual-segment internal fixation, and dual-segment internal fixation resulted in a greater loss of adjacent-segment ROM .IVE group: Compared with the intact model, the adjacent-segment (L3) ROM of the single-segment fusion (L4-L5) was decreased. In the three conditions of flexion–extension, lateral bending, and rotation ROM, L45PS decreased by 56.0%, 52.7%, and 47.1%; L45CBT decreased by 63.8%, 55.6%, and 36.2%; and L4CBT/L5PS decreased by 44.1%, 47.5%, and 49.0%, respectively. Compared with the intact model, the adjacent-segment (L2) ROM of the dual-segment fusion (L3-L5) was decreased. L345PS decreased by 58.0%, 48.0%, and 46.8%; L3CBT-L45PS decreased by 61.1%, 61.9%, and 40.8%; and L34CBT/L45PS ROM decreased by 38.2%, 32.7%, and 37.2% .The same analysis was performed for the L2-segment ROM. L45PS decreased by 29.5%, 6.0%, and 15.4%; L45CBT decreased by 34.3%, 7.9%, and 16.7%; and L4CBT/L5PS decreased by 37.7%, 17.9%, and 33.8% . With L4The results show that for adjacent-segment ROM, the pure CBT better preserved rotation, and the hybrid screw decreased the loss of flexion–extension and lateral bending ROM. The longer the fixed segment, the more ROM is lost.For all segments of the FEM group, the ROM was read after internal fixation surgery, and as compared with the intact model, all segments’ ROM showed a decline under various conditions. For non-fixed segments, the ROM of dual-segment internal fixation is smaller than that of single-segment internal fixation under flexion–extension and lateral bending conditions. Under rotation conditions, the ROM of the model with CBT screws was found to be smaller than that of simple PS screw fixation .The stress data were collected by choosing 50 points from each area of the screw–rod system stress concentration and computing the average value as the screw–rod system’s final stress value to exclude the influence of force singularities. L4CBT/L5PS and L45CBT had the highest stress values among the six conditions. L34CBT/L45PS bears more stress in rotations, L4CBT/L5PS bears more stress in extension, right lateral flexion, and left rotation, L45CBT bears more stress in flexion and left rotation, and L3CBT-L45PS bears more stress in rotation .The stress is mostly centered in the connecting rod’s center and the screw body’s caudal end and its precise position is where the cortical bone comes into contact with the screw, as shown by the stress cloud figure. The PS screw’s stress distribution is mostly focused in the back half of the screw body, whereas the CBT screw’s stress distribution is concentrated in the head and tail of the screw, and the entire CBT screw is under severe stress. The upper screw is significantly more stressed than the lower screw. The middle layer of three-layer screws experiences the least stress, with the majority of the stress occurring in the top and lower layer. Axial rotation considerably increases the load on the screw below. The values obtained in the studies were all well below the maximum stress values for titanium, and as a consequence, there is no risk of rupture under normal settings when analyzing the risk of fracture of the screws employed in the stabilizing system .A frequent and essential surgical approach for the treatment of spinal problems such as degenerative spine conditions is the internal fixation technique. Long and six screws both demonstrated improved lumbar spine sagittal stability. According to The stiffness results of the FEM group and the IVE group were similar: L34CBT/L45PS > L3CBT-L45PS > L345PS > L4CBT/L5PS > L45CBT > L45PS > Intact. This study demonstrates that hybrid screw placement and CBT may both produce greater stiffness and improved stability. The researchers also discovered that compared with short-segment fixation, long-segment fixation produced higher stiffness . The oveIn this study, the results are consistent between the FEM group and IVE group when comparing the three groups of single-segment internal fixation techniques, as determined by the total ROM loss rate. For fused segments, L45PS has high rotational resistance, whereas L45CBT has high flexion, extension, and lateral bending resistance. Comparing the three groups of two-segment internal fixation modalities, the FEM group had stronger rotational resistance with hybrid screws and similar results in the three groups for both flexion and extension and lateral bending resistance. Due to the domino connection of the screw–rod system, which leads to instability of the fused segment in the rotating state, L34CBT/L45PS and L3CBT-L45PS have greater resistance to flexion and extension as well as lateral bending in the IVE group. According to this study, L34CBT/L45PS is more effective than L3CBT-L45PS and L345PS when ASD develops as a result of single-segment fixation. The L345PS screws were substantially more stressed than the other two groups in rotation for the dual-segment internal fixation, but the L34CBT/L45PS and L3CBT-L45PS screws were significantly more stressed than the L345PS in flexion-extension and lateral bending. For PS and CBT screws, the head and tail of the screw should be reinforced for stiffness since the stress distribution was focused in these areas where the screw made contact with the cortical bone. The upper screw stress is significantly greater than the lower screw stress, and extending the nail bar system can effectively reduce the total stress. The authors of various investigations on this subject came to the conclusion that most broken screws (78%–90%) happen in the caudal area . StudiesBone density is a risk factor for the development of postoperative ASD . There iin vitro biomechanical characteristics  Muscles and paravertebral soft tissues were not included in the FEM and IVE, and body weight loads and muscle forces were used to calculate the loading torque. 2) The sample size should be increased to account for statistical analysis. 3) Due to the limited experimental settings, significant stress indicators were not examined in the specimen experiments. 4) The bone quality of the specimens was not taken into account for bone quality, and there were individual differences between specimens.In this study, the biomechanical responses of the lumbar spine with PS and CBT fixation were investigated. Our results show that long-segment fixation produces greater stiffness than short-segment fixation, but is more likely to lead to ASD. Using a hybrid screw combination technology can considerably increase the spine’s biomechanical stability. For non-fused segments, the CBT approach provides the better retention of rotation and higher resistance to flexion, extension, and lateral bending compared with the PS technique. However, there are differences between single-segment and dual-segment internal fixation, and the ROM of adjacent segments is lost more strongly reduced by dual-segment internal fixation. Thus, the hybrid screw is an approach to consider, and is perhaps a better surgical option after clinical validation. In summary, an alternative to take into account is the hybrid screw, if internal fixation lengthening is carried out. This study can provide a better understanding of the biomechanical response to single-versus dual-segment internal fixation by different surgical procedures. A direction for future work could be to carry out statistical analysis on a larger sample of clinical data and verify the biomechanical results of this study.


Achyranthes aspera seeds and leaves are believed to reverse antibiotic resistance and increase the efficacy of current drugs. Achyranthes aspera seeds and leaves contain many secondary metabolites needed for the redressal of antibiotic resistance. In the present study, seven different antibiotics were used against five different strains of bacteria such as Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis, Acinetobacter baumannii, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. For Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus Cefoxitin, Penicillin, and Co-trimoxazole were resistant out of seven antibiotics. The zone of inhibition for all these three antibiotics goes from the resistant to the sensitive range after the combination with plant extracts. For Enterococcus faecalis, Ciprofloxacin, Levofloxacin, Penicillin, Amoxicillin, Imipenem, and Vancomycin were resistant after treatment with the plant extracts, and the Ciprofloxacin, Levofloxacin, Imipenem, and Vancomycin zones of inhibition were from the resistant to the sensitive range. An increase in zone sizes was observed for Penicillin, but it remained resistant while no zone of inhibition was observed for Amoxicillin. For Acinetobacter baumannii, Ciprofloxacin, Levofloxacin, Ceftriaxone, Ceftazidime, and Imipenem were resistant. After a combination of these antibiotics with plant extracts, a change in zone sizes was observed for Levofloxacin and Ceftriaxone, but it was not considerable as it remained in the resistance and intermediate ranges. No zones of inhibition were observed for Ciprofloxacin, Ceftazidime, or Imipenem. For Klebsiella pneumoniae, all the antibiotics were resistant. An increase in zone sizes was observed after a combination with plant extracts for Ceftazidime and Imipenem in Klebsiella pneumoniae, but it remained in the resistance category. No zone of inhibition was observed for Pseudomonas aeruginosa before or after using plant extracts against any antibiotic. This study suggests that the Achyranthes aspera seed and leaf extracts can reverse antibiotic resistance without any side effects on the human body, and that they can reverse antibiotic resistance naturally.

Five extracts were prepared from each part of the plant and all these extracts were used for testing redressal activity. For the treatment of bacterial culture with plant extract in a test tube, 10 mL of nutrient broth and almost 200 µL of bacterial suspension were added so that the OD600 could be compared with the control. Then, 1 mL of each plant extract was added to the respective test tube, and the final OD600 was noted. Test tubes containing extracts and bacterial suspension were cotton-plugged and put in a static incubator overnight at 37 °C. After incubation, the OD600 was again noted and compared to the OD600 before incubation. Mostly, the OD600 remained the same as the bacteria, showing very little or no growth when put in the static incubator with plant extracts. For mixtures that showed an increase in OD600, some nutrient broth was added so that the OD600 would be the same as before incubation. Then, 10–15 µL bacterial and extract suspensions from each test tube were poured onto the MHA plates with a micropipette.
