  • Background: This study aimed to compare pressure pain thresholds (PPTs) in the vertebral segments between patients with chronic lower back pain (CLBP) and healthy participants without back pain and to determine the correlation between vertebral bone-segment PPT and pain level, lower back pain dysfunction, and psychological status in patients with CLBP. Methods: The subjects of this study were 23 healthy adults and 23 adults with CLBP. PPT was measured in 23 spinal bone segments using a PPT device, and the CLBP group was subjected to a pain level test (NRS) and a psychological test using the Korean version of the pain catastrophizing scale (KPCS). The functional level was assessed using the Korean version of the Oswestry disability index (KODI). Results: PPTs of the spinal sclerotomes were significantly lower in patients with CLBP than in healthy participants. In the CLBP group, the composite score of lumbar PPTs showed a high correlation with the composite scores for all segments, but not with the pain level (NRS), KPCS score, and spinal sclerotome PPT. Moreover, PPT in the sacral sclerotomes showed a significant negative correlation coefficient with function, with a KODI score of -.462 (p<.01). Conclusion: In this study, PPTs in all spinal segments in patients with CLBP was significantly lower than that in healthy subjects. The PPTs of the lumbar region was significantly correlated with the PPTs of other spinal regions. Through this study, it was found that there were changes in PPTs in CLBP patients not only in the lumbar region but also in other spinal regions. This information should be considered during clinical treatment of patients with low back pain.

  • Objectives This study aimed to propose biomarkers for diagnosing Chuna manual therapy (CMT) based on X-ray images in the thoracic and lumbar spines. Methods Through a literature review and expert consensus process, diagnostic biomarkers for CMT were selected based on the listing system in thoracic and lumbar radiograph anterior-posterior (AP) and lateral views. Results 1. Diagnostic biomarkers were derived from four points on the outer contour of the vertebral body in the thoracic and lumbar spine radiograph lateral view, enabling the diagnosis of flexion and extension malposition. 2. Additional diagnostic biomarkers were identified in the thoracic and lumbar radiographAP view, utilizing points on the outer contour of the vertebral body. These biomarkers facilitate the diagnosis of lateral bending. Moreover, biomarkers derived from the innermost point of the pedicle contour allow for the diagnosis of rotation malposition. 3. Furthermore, through the biomarkers proposed in this study, all malpositions of the thoracolumbar spines and complex Type I and II malpositions can be diagnosed in CMT. Conclusions The biomarkers reported in this study consist of minimal points to determine the position of the vertebral body, providing the advantage of simplicity while minimizing potential errors during the CMT diagnostic process. Further clinical research and the development of related programs should be pursued to expand the evidence for CMT.

  • 추골동맥의 기시부 변이의 다양성은 여러 문헌에서 보고되어 왔다. 그러나, 양측 추골동맥이 직접 대동맥궁으로부터 기시하는 변이는 매우 드물다. 이번 증례는 갑작스럽게 발생한 우측 편마비를 주소로 내원한 60세의 남자 환자에서 우연히 발견된 드문 양측 추골동맥 기시부의 변이를 보여준다. CT 혈관조영술에서 우측 추골동맥은 대동맥궁의 좌측 쇄골하정맥의 원위부에서 기시하였고, 좌측 추골동맥은 대동맥궁의 좌측 총경동맥과 쇄골하정맥의 사이에서 기시하였다. 이 변이와 연관이 있을 수 있는 발생학적인 기전도 고찰하였다. 추골동맥 기시부의 드문 변이의 가능성은 추골동맥이 일반적인 위치에서 보이지 않을 때 고려되어야 한다. 이 변이를 이해하는 것은 혈관 내 치료나 수술 중에 예기치 않은 합병증을 피하기 위해 중요하다.

  • Background Congenital muscular torticollis (CMT) is a common musculoskeletal disorder in children. Secondary scoliosis can occur in patients with CMT; however, the extent of inclination and improvement of scoliosis after surgical correction of CMT have not been adequately studied. In this study, we aimed to evaluate and measure the improvement in vertebral tilting after surgical correction according to age at the time of surgery. Methods Between June 2007 and January 2020, 831 patients with CMT underwent sternocleidomastoid release. Among them, 426 patients were enrolled, and their medical records were retrospectively reviewed. Ultimately, 210 patients available for radiological evaluation and analysis were enrolled in this study. The patients were divided into four groups according to age at the time of surgery to determine the relationship between age and changes in scoliosis. Results Our findings showed an improvement in scoliosis in all age groups after surgery. The results for follow-up after 1 year confirmed long-term improvement in vertebral tilting. The degree of improvement in scoliosis was significantly higher in the younger age group than in patients aged 18 years or older. Conclusion The effect of surgical release on scoliosis was significant in all age groups. The findings of this study suggest that CMT should be corrected before the age of 3 years to ensure an optimal surgical mitigation of scoliosis. Furthermore, in cases of neglected CMT, surgical release should be actively attempted because there is significant improvement.

  • Objective : The use of reconstructive treatment with a double-overlapping stents has proven to be effective and safe in the current treatment of intracranial vertebral artery dissecting aneurysms (VADAs). We employed a combination of overlapping stents, using low-profile visualized intraluminal support (LVIS) within the Enterprise stent. This combination was chosen to minimize the outward bulging of the inner LVIS by overlapping it with the Enterprise stent while maintaining flow diversion and stability. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical and angiographic outcomes following the use of double-overlapping stents with LVIS within the Enterprise stent for the treatment of VADAs. Methods : From March 2016 to January 2022, total 28 patients with unruptured VADAs were treated with the double-overlapping stent technique using LVIS within an Enterprise stent in our institute. The Enterprise stent was deployed first, followed by the LVIS stent. Patient clinical and angiographic characteristics, procedural complications, and follow-up outcomes were retrospectively reviewed. Results : All 28 patients (18 males and 10 females) were successfully treated with double-overlapping stent deployment. There were no procedural complications or new neurological deficits in any patient. Of the 28 patients, four VADAs had posterior inferior cerebellar artery involvement. Procedure-related parent artery occlusion did not occur during the angiographic follow-up conducted 6 to 12 months after the procedure. Out of 28 patients, 24 showed complete healing, three had focal residual stenosis or dilatation with residual sac and only one had a residual dissecting flap with aneurysm. All patients, including the four patients, did not require any additional procedures. The postoperative modified Rankin scale scores were 0-1 for all patients. Conclusion : A double-overlapping stent, with a flow-diversion effect, is a safe and effective treatment for patients with VADAs. In particular, when using the LVIS stent within an Enterprise stent, it minimizes the bulging of the inner LVIS stent while maintaining flow diversion and stability. Therefore, both can be effectively utilized as overlapping stents.

  • 정위적 체부 방사선치료(Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy, SBRT)는 척추 전이암을 치료하는데 있어서 점점 증가하고 있다. 표적 종양의 급격한 선량 변화와 등선량 분포를 얻기 위해서, 세기조절방사선치료(Intensity-modulated radiation therapy, IMRT)와 체적변조회전치료(Volumetric-modulated arc therapy, VMAT)는 척추 방사선수술에 있어서 필수적인 치료기법이다. 이 연구의 목적은 표적 종양을 위한 International Spine Radiosurgery (ISRC) Consortium의 consensus guideline으로 그려진 표적에 있어서 IMRT와 VMAT의 치료기법을 질적으로 비교하고자 한다. 경부, 흉부, 요추 부위에 종양치료를 받은 3명의 환자를 선택 하였다. 표적 종양은 ISRC의 consensus guideline을 바탕으로 정의 하였다. $T_B$는 vertebral body만 포함하였고, $T_{BPT}$는 vertebral body, pedicle, transverse process를 포함하였다. 그리고 $T_{ST}$는 spinous process와 transverse process를 포함하여 그렸다. Maximum spinal cord선량은 $T_B$, $T_{BPT}$, $T_{ST}$에서 각각 12.46 Gy, 12.17 Gy, 11.36 Gy였고, IMRT, RA1, RA2에서 각각 11.81 Gy, 12.19 Gy, 11.99 Gy였다. 평균 감소(90%~50%) 선량 거리 (mm)는 $T_B$, $T_{BPT}$, $T_{ST}$에서 각각 3.5 mm, 3.3 mm, 3.9 mm였고, IMRT, RA1, RA2에서 각각 3.7 mm, 3.7 mm, 3.3 mm였다. 가장 복잡한 $T_{BPT}$의 경우에서 IMRT, RA1, RA2의 conformity index는 각각 0.621, 0.761, 0.817 이었고, rDHI는 0.755, 0.796, 0.824 였다. IMRT와 VMAT 모두 척추 정위적 방사선수술에서 표적 종양에 급격한 선량 변화와 등선량 분포를 전달하였다. 그러나 표적 종양이 vertebral body, pedicle, transverse process를 포함한다면, IMRT 치료기법은 VMAT 치료기법과 비교해서 conformity index 측면에서 불충분하였다. 그럼에도 불구하고, IMRT 치료기법은 RA1, RA2와 비교해서 대부분의 영역에서 maximum spinal cord 선량을 줄이는데 더 효과적이었다.

  • Objectives : Transpedicular screw fixation has become an important method for internal fixation in variety of disorders. However, acceleration of degeneration at the adjacent segment in any follow. The goal of this study is to review the change of motion ranges of vertebral joints adjacent to fused level in lumbar spine. Methods : This study consists of 22 patients with degenerative spinal instability. Treatment of spinal instability includes posterior fusion with transpedicular screw fixation or transpedicular screw fixation with posterior lumbar interbody fusion. The flexion-extension angle(FEA) was measured from dynamic views of lumbar spine taken both at preoperative and post operative period. Results : The FEA of upper vertebral joint adjacent(FEA-u) to a fused L4-5 level was increased(p=0.010). The FEA-u was increased in case of L5-S1 fusion(p=0.025). The change of FEA-u in case of L5-S1 fusion was greater than that in L4-5 fusion(p=0.013). Conclusion : After L4-5 fusion, there seems to be more meaningful increase in FEA of L3-4 than that of L5-S1. The reason may be due to the damage of L3-4 facet joints during the operation, the other possible explanation may be the anatomical stability of L5-S1 vertebral joint. The change of FEA-u of L5-S1 fusion is increased more than that of L4-5 fusion. Because there are compensations in the adjacent vertebrae both above and below the fused L4-5, the compensatory motion in FEA-u of L5-S1 fusion was greater than that of the L4-5 fusion.
