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.

Retrospective analysis of fetal vertebral defects: Associated anomalies,etiologies, and outcome

Our objectives were to describe fetal cases of vertebral defects (VD), assess the diagnostic yield of fetal chromosomal analysis for VD and determine which investigations should be performed when evaluating fetal VD. We performed a retrospective chart review for fetuses with VD seen between 2006 and 2015. Cases were identified from CHU Sainte‐Justine's prenatal clinic visits, postmortem fetal skeletal surveys, and medical records. Cases with neural tube defects were excluded. Sixty‐six fetuses with VD were identified at a mean gestational age of 20 weeks. Forty‐seven (71.2%) had associated antenatal anomalies, most commonly genitourinary, skeletal/limb, and cardiac anomalies. Thirteen mothers (19.7%) had pregestational diabetes (95% CI [10.1%–29.3%]). Fifty‐three cases had chromosomal analysis. Three had abnormal results (5.6%): trisomy 13, trisomy 22, and 9q33.1q34.11 deletion. Thirty‐four (51.5%) pregnancies were terminated, one led to intrauterine fetal demise and 31 (46.9%) continued to term. Of 27 children who survived the neonatal period, 21 had congenital scoliosis and 3 had spondylocostal dysostosis. Seven had developmental delay. In conclusion, prenatal evaluation of fetuses with VD should include detailed morphological assessment (including fetal echocardiogram), maternal diabetes screening, and chromosomal microarray if non‐isolated. Our findings provide guidance about management and counseling after a diagnosis of fetal VD.     

人体腰椎活动节段应力分布的实验研究

本文采用三维光弹性实验方法观察了正常腰椎活动节段的应力分布。用精密浇铸,严格几何相似的光弹性环氧树脂腰椎和硅橡胶椎间盘模型进行三维光弹性实验,并观察腰椎的等应力差图和有效应力值分布。本实验观察到,腰椎椎体上下缘应力分布较均匀对称,其后缘应力大于前缘,后部结构应力较小。作者认为,三维光弹性实验方法具有直观性强,能有效和准确地确定腰椎的应力分布,对腰椎生物力学研究具有重要的实用价值。腰椎后缘应力大于前缘,使椎体后缘承载较大,将会增加腰椎间盘退变和损伤的机会,这可能是引起腰腿痛的重要因素。     

Frontonasal dysplasia in the Klippel-Feil syndrome: A new associated malformation

This paper describes an 8-year-old girl with Klippel-Feil syndrome (KFS) associated with frontonasal dysplasia, Sprengel deformity and postaxial polydactyly. These findings are tentatively explained on the basis of a single mutant gene for KFS with broad action in the morphogenesis of the skeletal system.     

骨水泥强化椎弓根螺钉固定治疗老年退行性腰椎疾病的疗效观察

目的评价骨水泥强化椎弓根螺钉固定治疗老年退行性腰椎疾病的近期临床疗效。方法回顾性分析2011年6月~2013年5月采用聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯(PMMA)骨水泥强化椎弓根螺钉固定结合后路椎体间植入聚醚醚酮(PEEK)材质椎间融合器治疗老年退行性腰椎疾病30例。所有患者术前骨密度检测均符合骨质疏松诊断(超声骨密度值测定-2.5)。结果 30例患者均顺利完成手术,术中无神经及硬膜损伤,骨水泥无严重渗漏,术后复查X线、CT显示骨水泥分布均匀。随访10~21个月,平均(16±2.11)个月,神经受压症状均得到改善。VAS评分术前(7.01±1.44)、术后6个月随访为(3.00±0.57)、末次随访为(2.23±1.19);JOA评分术前为(9.98±5.64)、术后6个月随访为(17.99±1.41)、末次随访为(18.42±1.47);ODI评分术前为(0.64±0.24)、术后6个月为(0.27±0.07)、末次随访为(0.22±0.09)。三项评分术后6个月、末次随访分别与术前对比差异有统计学意义;术后6个月和末次随访对比差异无统计学意义。末次随访时复查X线或CT显示椎弓根螺钉无松动,椎间融合器无下沉,椎间融合满意,融合率为86.7%。结论使用骨水泥强化椎弓根螺钉能够提高螺钉对伴有骨质疏松的椎体的握持力,防止椎弓根螺钉松动,保证较高的椎间融合率,是治疗老年退行性腰椎疾病一种安全而有效的手术方式。
