Objective : There are numerous reports on the primary stabilizing effects of the different cervical cages for cervical radiculopathy. But, little is known about the subsidence which may be clinical problem postoperatively. The goal of this study is to evaluate subsidence of cage and investigate the correlation between radiologic subsidence and clinical outcome. Methods : To assess possible subsidence, the authors investigated clinical and radiological results of the one-hundred patients who underwent anterior cervical fusion by using $AMSLU^{TM}$ cage during the period between January 2003 and June 2005. Preoperative and postoperative lateral radiographs were measured for height of intervertebral disc space where cages were placed intervertebral disc space was measured by dividing the sum of anterior, posterior, and midpoint interbody distance by 3. Follow-up time was 6 to 12 months. Subsidence was defined as any change in at least one of our parameters of at least 3 mm. Results : Subsidence was found in 22 patients (22%). The mean value of subsidence was 2.21 mm, and mean subsidence rate was 22%. There were no cases of the clinical status deterioration during the follow-up period No posterior or anterior migration was observed. Conclusion : The phenomenon of subsidence is seen in substantial number of patients. Nevertheless, clinical and radiological results of the surgery were favorable. An excessive subsidence may result in hardware failure. Endplate preservation may enables us to control subsidence and reduce the number of complications.

Land subsidence caused by excessive groundwater pumping is a serious hydro-geological hazard. The spatial variability in land use, unbalanced groundwater extraction and aquifer characteristics are the key factors which make the problem more difficult to monitor using conventional methods. This study uses the European Space Agency (ESA) Sentinel satellites to investigate and monitor land subsidence varying with different land covers and groundwater use in the arid Quetta valley, Pakistan. The Persistent Scattering Differential Interferometry of Synthetic Aperture Radar (PS-DInSAR) method was used to develop 28 subsidence interferograms of the study area for the period between 16 Oct 2014 and 06 Oct 2016 using ESA's Sentinel-1 SAR data. The uncertainty of DInSAR result is first minimized by removing the dynamic effect caused by atmospheric factors and then filtered using the radar Amplitude Dispersion Index (ADI) to select only the stable pixels. Finally the subsidence maps were generated by spatially interpolating the land subsidence at the stable pixels, the comparison of DInSAR subsidence with GPS readings showed an R 2 of 0.94 and mean absolute error of $5.7{\pm}4.1mm$. The subsidence maps were also analysed for the effect of aquifer type and 4 land covers which were derived from Sentienl-2 multispectral images. The analysis show that during the two year period, the study area experienced highly non-linear land subsidence ranging from 10 to 280 mm. The subsidence at different land covers was significantly different from each other except between the urban and barren land. The barren land and seasonally cultivated area show minor to moderate subsidence while the orchard and urban area with high groundwater extraction rate showed excessive amount of land subsidence. Moreover, the land subsidence and groundwater drawdown was found to be linearly proportional to each other.

In recent years, subsidence due to excessive groundwater withdrawal is a major problem in the Kathmandu Basin. In addition, on 25 April 2015, the basin experienced large crustal displacements caused by Mw 7.8 Gorkha earthquake. In this study, we applied StaMPS- Persistent Scatterer InSAR (StaMPS PS-InSAR) technique to estimate the spatio-temporal displacements in the basin after the mainshock. 34 Sentinel-1 C-band SAR data are used for measuring subsidence velocity during 2015-2017. We found the maximum subsidence velocity of about 9.02 cm/year and mean subsidence rate of about 8.06 cm/year in the line of sight direction, respectively, in the central part of the basin.

This paper reports the observation of the interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) phase anomaly on a newly reclaimed mudflat, Hwaong, in west coast of Korea, detected by a series of Radarsat-l SAR data obtained mostly during 2003. The observed phase anomaly could be from subsidence of mud land caused by volumetric contraction of mud in dry season. This process must have been initiated from March 2002 when tidal water supply to this region was permanently blocked by the newly constructed embankment. The maximum subsidence rate measured from InSAR signal is about 3 cm per month. The local heterogeneity of the subsidence rate over the reclaimed mudflat may indicate various mud composition, surface-subsurface hydrological processes, or subsurface information of the mud and basement rock structure. In-situ measurement must follow to support this observation from space.

In this paper we showed the application of European Space Agency's C-band Sentinel-1 Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imagery to identify land subsidence in a heavily groundwater pumping area. We used the repeat pass satellite interferometry method in combination with persistent scattering (PS) interferometric technique to generate and analyze twenty-eight interferograms for the period October 2014 to November 2016. The interferometry results show that land subsidence is more pronounced in the urban areas. Excessive groundwater pumping in the study area is believed to be the main reason for land subsidence. The results are compared with the subsidence rate measured by GPS as reported in other studies and with the mean change in total water storage field of GRACE solutions provided by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) and the Center for Space Research (CSR). The comparison shows persistently decreasing trends during the period of study. A strong reliance of the trend of land subsidence on the temporal decline in total water storage proposes that much of the land subsidence can be attributed to heavy pumping of the groundwater.

목포시는 한반도 서남쪽에 위치한 연안도시로, 시 면적의 약 $70\%$가 바다를 매립하여 이루어진 도시이다. 매립에 의한 지반침하 현상이 여러 지역에서 빈번하게 보고되고 있음에도 불구하고 정량적인 관측이 거의 이루어지지 않았다. JERS-1 L밴드 SAR 위성에서 얻어진 26개의 영상을 이용하여 1992년 9월 25일부터 1998년 10월 4일 사이 목포시에서 발행한 침하량을 측정하였다. JERS-1 SAR 영상과 SRTM 3초 DEM을 이용하여 60여개의 간섭도를 작성하였다. 간섭도 관측결과 동명동, 하당동, 원산동 일대에서 지속적인 침하가 발생하였으며, 주요 침하 지역에서 침하속도는 4 cm/yr를 넘는 곳도 있다. 시간에 따른 침하 양상에 대한 분석을 보다 용이하게 하기 위해 고정산란체(PS)를 이용한 분석기법도 적용하였으며, 결과적으로 JERS-1 SAR 자료의 각 관측 시기에 대한 지표변위도를 구하였다.

Objective : Aim of study was to find a proper method for assessing subsidence using a radiologic measurement following anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) with stand-alone polyetheretherketone (PEEK), $Solis^{TM}$ cage. Methods : Forty-two patients who underwent ACDF with $Solis^{TM}$ cage were selected. With a minimum follow-up of 6 months, the retrospective investigation was conducted for 37 levels in 32 patients. Mean follow-up period was 18.9 months. Total intervertebral height (TIH) of two fused vertebral bodies was measured on digital radiographs with built-in software. Degree of subsidence (${\Delta}TIH$) was reflected by the difference between the immediate postoperative and follow-up TIH. Change of postoperative disc space height (CT-MR ${\Delta}TIH$) was reflected by the difference between TIH of the preoperative mid-sagittal 2D CT and that of the preoperative mid-sagittal T1-weighted MRI. Results : Compared to preoperative findings, postoperative disc height was increased in all cases and subsidence was observed only in 3 cases. For comparison of subsidence and non-subsidence group, TIH and CT-MR ${\Delta}TIH$ of each group were analyzed. There was no statistically significant difference in TIH and CT-MR ${\Delta}TIH$ between each group at 4 and 8 weeks, but a difference was observed at the last follow-up TIH (p=0.0497). Conclusion : ACDF with $Solis^{TM}$ cage was associated with relatively good radiologic long-term results. Fusion was achieved in 94.5% and subsidence occurred in 8.1% by the radiologic assessment. Statistical analysis reveals that the subsidence seen later than 8 weeks after surgery and the development of subsidence does not correlate statistically with the change of the postoperative disc space height.

최근 도심지를 중심으로 지반함몰이 꾸준하게 발생되고 있어 시민들의 안전을 위협하고 있다. 도로 하부에는 상수관로, 하수도관로, 통신관로 등 각종 지하 시설물이 매설되어 있다. 이러한 지하시설물의 노후화와 지하 난개발로 인해 지반함몰의 원인으로 작용하고 있다. 기존 관로의 노후도에 따라 지반함몰 발생 위험도를 분석된 결과가 있지만 지반 교란상태를 나타내는 관로의 밀집도를 활용한 지반 함몰 위험도를 분석한 결과는 없는 실정이다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 서울시의 대표 지하 관로 6종 데이터를 활용하여 지하공간의 밀집도를 분석하여 지반함몰과 상관성이 있는지에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 그 결과 지반함몰 발생 지역에서는 지하 시설물의 밀집도가 높은 것으로 나타나 지반함몰에 관로의 밀집도가 영향을 미치는 것을 알 수 있었다.

Objective : Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) is commonly used surgical procedure for cervical degenerative disease. Among the various intervertebral spacers, the use of allografts is increasing due to its advantages such as no harvest site complications and low rate of subsidence. Although subsidence is a rare complication, graft collapse is often observed in the follow-up period. Graft collapse is defined as a significant graft height loss without subsidence, which can lead to clinical deterioration due to foraminal re-stenosis or segmental kyphosis. However, studies about the collapse of allografts are very limited. In this study, we evaluated risk factors associated with graft collapse. Methods : We retrospectively reviewed 33 patients who underwent two level ACDF with anterior plating using allogenous bone graft from January 2013 to June 2017. Various factors related to cervical sagittal alignment were measured preoperatively (PRE), postoperatively (POST), and last follow-up. The collapse was defined as the ratio of decrement from POST disc height to follow-up disc height. We also defined significant collapses as disc heights that were decreased by 30% or more after surgery. The intraoperative distraction was defined as the ratio of increment from PRE disc height to POST disc height. Results : The subsidence rate was 4.5% and graft collapse rate was 28.8%. The pseudarthrosis rate was 16.7% and there was no association between pseudarthrosis and graft collapse. Among the collapse-related risk factors, pre-operative segmental angle (p=0.047) and intra-operative distraction (p=0.003) were significantly related to allograft collapse. The cut-off value of intraoperative distraction ${\geq}37.3%$ was significantly associated with collapse (p=0.009; odds ratio, 4.622; 95% confidence interval, 1.470-14.531). The average time of events were as follows: collapse, $5.8{\pm}5.7months$; subsidence, $0.99{\pm}0.50months$; and instrument failure, $9.13{\pm}0.50months$. Conclusion : We experienced a higher frequency rate of collapse than subsidence in ACDF using an allograft. Of the various preoperative factors, intra-operative distraction was the most predictable factor of the allograft collapse. This was especially true when the intraoperative distraction was more than 37%, in which case the occurrence of graft collapse increased 4.6 times. We also found that instrument failure occurs only after the allograft collapse.

본 연구에서는 강원도 태백시 장성동에 위치한 석탄 폐석 적치장에 대해 2006년부터 2018년 사이에 제작된 6개의 수치표고모델(Digital Elevation Model)을 이용하여 폐석 적치량을 산정하고, Sentinel-1 SAR 영상에 Persistent Scatterer Interferometric SAR (PSInSAR) 기법을 이용하여 침하를 관찰하였다. 수치표고모델을 이용하여 적치 활동 양상을 확인한 결과, 2006년부터 2018년까지 약 12년 동안 총 1,668,980 m³의 폐석이 적치되었다. PSInSAR 수행 후 관측되는 침하속도는 상향 및 하향 궤도 방향으로 각각 -32.3 mm/yr, -40.2 mm/yr의 최대 침하속도를 보였다. 폐석 두께가 증가함에 따라 빠른 침하속도가 관측되었으며, 적치 완료 시점이 최근일수록 침하가 빠르게 발생하는 경향이 나타났다. 상향 및 하향 궤도의 침하속도를 수직, 수평 성분으로 변환하고 임의의 참조점 22개를 설정하여 침하속도와 폐석 두께 및 적치 완료 시점과 비교하였다. 그 결과, 참조점의 침하속도는 폐석 두께와의 관계에 있어서 PSInSAR 결과와 유사하게 폐석의 두께가 두꺼워질수록 빠르게 관측되는 경향을 보였다. 반면에 적치 완료 시점과 참조점에서의 침하속도 사이의 뚜렷한 상관성이 파악되지 않았는데 22개의 참조점 중 5개를 제외한 나머지 참조점에서의 적치 완료 시점이 2010년에 지나치게 편중되어 상관성 분석이 무의미하였다. 이 연구와 같이 수치표고모델과 PSInSAR를 이용하면 폐석 적치장의 안전 관리에 있어 부족한 현장자료를 보완할 효과적인 대안책이 될 수 있을 것이라 기대된다.
