Early neuromuscular customized training after surgery for lumbar disc herniation: a prospective controlled study

A prospective and controlled study of training after surgery for lumbar disc herniation (LDH). The objective was to determine the effect of early neuromuscular customized training after LDH surgery. No consensus exists on the type and timing of physical rehabilitation after LDH surgery. Patients aged 15–50 years, disc prolapse at L4–L5 or L5–S1. Before surgery, at 6 weeks, 4, and 12 months postoperatively, the following evaluations were performed: low back pain and leg pain estimated on a visual analog scale, disability according to the Roland–Morris questionnaire (RMQ) and disability rating index (DRI). Clinical examination, including the SLR test, was performed using a single blind method. Consumption of analgesics was registered. Twenty-five patients started neuromuscular customized training 2 weeks after surgery (early training group=ETG). Thirty-one patients formed a control group (CG) and started traditional training after 6 weeks. There was no significant difference in pain and disability between the two training groups before surgery. Median preoperative leg pain was 63 mm in ETG and 70 mm in the CG. Preoperative median disability according to RMQ was 14 in the ETG and 14.5 in the CG. Disability according to DRI (33/56 patients) was 5.3 in the ETG vs. 4.6 in the CG. At 6 weeks, 4 months, and 12 months, pain was significantly reduced in both groups, to the same extent. Disability scores were lower in the ETG at all follow-ups, and after 12 months, the difference was significant (RMQ P=.034, DRI P=.015). The results of the present study show early neuromuscular customized training to have a superior effect on disability, with a significant difference compared to traditional training at a follow-up 12 months after surgery. No adverse effects of the early training were seen. A prospective, randomized study with a larger patient sample is warranted to ultimately demonstrate that early training as described is beneficial for patients undergoing LDH surgery.     

Modic改变在腰腿痛病例中的分布及相关因素分析

目的探讨腰椎终板Modic改变在腰腿痛病例中的的临床分布特点，并探讨发生Modic改变的相关因素。方法选择2005年一年内因腰痛或坐骨神经痛行腰椎MR检查和常规X线检查的患者1223例，分析腰椎MRI中终板Modic改变在椎间盘节段、年龄和椎间盘退变分类中的分布特点及其相关因素。结果1223例6115个腰椎椎间盘中，257例（21．0％）320个椎间盘（5．2％）邻近终板发生M0dic改变，其中Ⅰ型48例（3．9％）51个椎间盘（0．8％），Ⅱ型206例（16．8％）266个椎间盘（4．3％）、Ⅲ型3例（0．2％）3个椎间盘（0．05％）。椎间盘节段L5S1 168个、L4-5 95个、L3-4 29个、L2-3 18个、L1-2 10个，发生率分别为13．7％、7．8％、2．4％、1．5％、0．8％。突出、脱出和滑脱病例发生率较高（辟0．00）。女性发生率高于男性（P=0．005）。40岁以上是Modic改变发生较多的年龄段（P=0．001）。椎间盘退变程度、椎间盘节段与年龄均和Modic改变具有显著相关性（P=0．000）。回归方程为Y=-5．955＋0．198A＋1．528L＋1．883D（Y为M0dic改变，A为年龄，L为椎间盘节段，D为椎间盘退变程度），P=0．000，EXP值：D=6．571，L=4．609，A=1．220。结论腰椎终板Modic改变和椎间盘退变、椎间盘节段和年龄之间存在相关关系，椎间盘退变是最重要的影响因素。Modic改变Ⅱ型最多，Ⅰ型次之，Ⅲ型最少；多发生于L4-5和L5S1椎间盘节段；女性高于男性；40岁以上是易发年龄。     

Radiologic long-term results after cervical vertebral interbody fusion with Polymethyl Methacrylat (PMMA)

Long-term results of cervical interbody fusion with PMMA were evaluated in a retrospective study. X-ray films of 83 patients were obtainable. Post-operative follow-up in this series was between 15 and 20 years. The results show that PMMA is engrafted after about 2 years. Stable vertebral interbody fusion is obtained in about 90% of cases. Development of malignoma was not observed. Resorptive bone alterations, which can be seen in about 2% of cases one to two years after operation are shown not to be progressive. This process heals and stable fusion develops.     

对CT所见腰椎间盘突出的重新鉴别与治疗观察

目的：因临床发现有些经ＣＴ检查有腰椎间盘突出的患者，其症状体征与ＣＴ结果不符。对１１２ＣＴ阳性者根据症状体征进行重新鉴别。方法：将ＣＴ阳性者根据“三种试验”分为阳性、阴性两组，再选压痛点作注射治疗。结果：两组治疗结果阴性组优良率较高。结论：ＣＴ结果可供参考，但不能作临床考虑的主要依据。对腰椎间盘突出症的诊断与治疗要以症状体征为主     

双减压椎间融合术治疗椎动脉型颈椎病（附24例报告）

从1987年2月至1991年10月对24例诊断明确的椎动脉型颈椎病患者进行了双减压椎间融合术(BIFO)。其方法是在病变侧行横突前弓及钩椎关节骨赘切除,并行病椎椎间盘切除植骨融合。术后经1.5～5.2年随访,除2例恢复较慢外余皆在不同时间内康复,近远期效果满意。认为BIFO术式是既能去除椎动脉受压主要因素,又能稳定椎体,是一种新的有效的手术治疗方法。

Elastic strain energy in the low back muscles during human walking

Summary A simple model of the thorax, pelvis and three columns of the intrinsic lumbar back muscles (=ILBM) was constructed. The model was used to study the length of the ILBM during the different stages of the walking cycle. The length of the right ILBM (especially the lateral column) was largest at right toe off, exactly the stage of the walking cycle in which most force was needed to prevent the torso from falling forwards and laterally.     

Fusion and Matrix Protein Gene Sequence Analysis of Paramyxoviruses of Type 1(PMV-1) Isolated from Pigeons in Slovenia

Paramyxoviruses of type 1 (PMV-l) isolated from pigeons were genetically analyzed. A part of the fusion and the matrix protein genes were amplified and sequenced, Typical amino acid sequences associated with virulence were determined at the fusion protein cleavage site in all PMV-1 isolates. All Slovene pigeon PMV-1 strains share high amino acid sequence similarity with other pigeon strains. In the phylogenetic tree, they are clustered together with pigeon PMV-1 isolates with moderate pathogenicity. Phylogenetic analysis obtained from the fusion and the matrix protein gene alignments showed the same branching order. Viruses circulating among pigeons were found to form quite unique lineage of virulent NDV strains.
