    BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to identify disease-related autoantibodies in the serum of patients with immune-mediated neuropathies including chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) and to investigate the clinical characteristics of patients with these antibodies. METHODS: Proteins extracted from mouse brain tissue were used to react with sera from patients with CIDP by western blotting (WB) to determine the presence of common bands. Positive bands were then identified by mass spectrometry and confirmed for reactivity with patient sera using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and WB. Reactivity was further confirmed by cell-based and tissue-based indirect immunofluorescence assays. The clinical characteristics of patients with candidate autoantibody-positive CIDP were analyzed, and their association with other neurologic diseases was also investigated. RESULTS: Screening of 78 CIDP patient sera by WB revealed a positive band around 60-70 kDa identified as dihydrolipoamide S-acetyltransferase (DLAT) by immunoprecipitation and mass spectrometry. Serum immunoglobulin G (IgG) and IgM antibodies' reactivity to recombinant DLAT was confirmed using ELISA and WB. A relatively high reactivity was observed in 29 of 160 (18%) patients with CIDP, followed by patients with sensory neuropathy (6/58, 10%) and patients with MS (2/47, 4%), but not in patients with Guillain-Barré syndrome (0/27), patients with hereditary neuropathy (0/40), and healthy controls (0/26). Both the cell-based and tissue-based assays confirmed reactivity in 26 of 33 patients with CIDP. Comparing the clinical characteristics of patients with CIDP with anti-DLAT antibodies (n = 29) with those of negative cases (n = 131), a higher percentage of patients had comorbid sensory ataxia (69% vs 37%), cranial nerve disorders (24% vs 9%), and malignancy (20% vs 5%). A high DLAT expression was observed in human autopsy dorsal root ganglia, confirming the reactivity of patient serum with mouse dorsal root ganglion cells. DISCUSSION: Reactivity to DLAT was confirmed in patient sera, mainly in patients with CIDP. DLAT is highly expressed in the dorsal root ganglion cells, and anti-DLAT antibody may serve as a biomarker for sensory-dominant neuropathies.

    Background: Previous studies have demonstrated that the center of gravity (COG) is more unstable in the elderly than in young people. However, it is unclear whether aging itself destabilizes the COG. This study aimed to investigate changes in COG sway and gait kinematics over time by a longitudinal study of middle-aged and elderly adults. Methods: This study included 198 healthy middle-aged and elderly people who underwent stabilometry at ten-year intervals. The participants’ mean age at baseline was 62.9 ± 6.5 years, and 77 (39%) of them were male. The results of stabilometry (mean velocity, sway area, postural sway center in the medial–lateral direction [X center], and postural sway center in the anterior–posterior direction [Y center]), and results of exercise tests (the height-adjusted maximum stride length [HMSL] and the 10 m walk test [10MWT]) were analyzed. The destabilized group with 11 participants, whose mean velocity exceeded 3 cm/s after 10 years, was compared with the stable group with 187 participants, whose mean velocity did not exceed 3 cm/s. Results: Mean velocity increased significantly over ten years (open-eye, from 1.53 ± 0.42 cm to 1.86 ± 0.67 cm, p < 0.001); however, the sway area did not change significantly. X center showed no significant change, whereas Y center showed a significant negative shift (open-eye, from −1.03 ± 1.28 cm to −1.60 ± 1.56 cm, p < 0.001). Although the results of 10MWT and initial HMSL did not differ significantly, the HMSL in the destabilized group at ten years was 0.64, which was significantly smaller than the 0.72 of others (p = 0.019). Conclusions: The ten-year changes in COG sway in middle-aged and elderly adults were characterized by a significant increase in mean velocity but no significant difference in sway area. Because the destabilized group had significantly smaller HMSL at ten years, instability at the onset of movement is likely to be affected by COG instability.

    Study Design: Retrospective cohort study. Objectives: We newly found that trabecular bone remodeling (TBR) often appeared in the fixed adjacent vertebrae during bony fusion. Thus, TBR might indicate osteointegration. Hence, we aimed to investigate whether TBR in the early postoperative period could predict future bony fusion after posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF). Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 78 patients who underwent one-level PLIF. Demographic data were reviewed. Using computed tomography (CT) images taken at 3 months and 1 year postoperatively, we investigated the vertebral endplate cyst (VEC) formation, TBR in the vertebral body, cage subsidence, and clear zone around pedicle screw (CZPS). Results: TBR had high interobserver reliability regardless of cage materials. VECs, TBR, and both were found in 30, 53, and 16 patients at 3 months postoperatively and in 30, 65, and 22 patients at 1 year postoperatively, respectively. The incidence of VEC, which indicates poor fixation, was lower in early (3 months postoperatively) TBR-positive patients, with a significant difference at 1 year postoperatively (3 months, P =.074; 1 year, P =.003). Furthermore, 3 (5.7%) of the 53 early TBR-positive patients had CZPS without instability at 1 year postoperatively. In 25 TBR-negative patients, 1 (4.0%) had pedicle screw cutout requiring reoperation, 1 (4.0%) had pseudarthrosis, and 4 (16%) had CZPS. Conclusions: Patients with early TBR (3 months) did not experience pedicle screw cutout nor pseudarthrosis and had significantly fewer VECs than those without early TBR. Thus, TBR may be a new radiological marker of initial fixation after PLIF.

    Ossification of the ligaments progresses slowly in the initial stages, and most patients are unaware of the disease until obvious myelopathy symptoms appear. Consequently, treatment and clinical outcomes are not satisfactory. This study is aimed at developing an automated system for the detection of the thoracic ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) using deep learning and plain radiography. We retrospectively reviewed the data of 146 patients with thoracic OPLL and 150 control cases without thoracic OPLL. Plain lateral thoracic radiographs were used for object detection, training, and validation. Thereafter, an object detection system was developed, and its accuracy was calculated. The performance of the proposed system was compared with that of two spine surgeons. The accuracy of the proposed object detection model based on plain lateral thoracic radiographs was 83.4%, whereas the accuracies of spine surgeons 1 and 2 were 80.4% and 77.4%, respectively. Our findings indicate that our automated system, which uses a deep learning-based method based on plain radiographs, can accurately detect thoracic OPLL. This system has the potential to improve the diagnostic accuracy of thoracic OPLL.

    Introduction: Scoliosis is the three-dimensional (3D) deformity of the spine. Scoliosis curvatures, such as the lower lumbar curve and the angle of the upper endplate of the sacrum observable on radiographs, are associated with postoperative outcomes; however, the relationship between postoperative outcomes and sacral morphology remains unknown. This study aimed to investigate sacral morphology in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) and to clarify its relationship with wedge-shaped deformity of the first sacral vertebra and radiographic parameters. Methods: This study included 94 patients who underwent fusion surgery for AIS (scoliosis group). As the control group, 25 patients without scoliosis (<10°) under 50 years of age were also investigated. S1 wedging angle (S1WA) using 3D Computed tomography (CT) and Cobb angle, L4 tilt, and sacral slanting using radiography were measured. The relationship between S1WA and other radiographic parameters was analyzed using correlation coefficients. Differences in sacral morphology between the Lenke lumbar modifier types A and C were also investigated. Results: S1WA was significantly larger in the scoliosis group than the control group (scoliosis: 1.7°±2.5°, control: 0.1°± 1.5°, p=0.002). Furthermore, the number of patients with S1WA >3° or >5° was significantly higher in the scoliosis group (>3°: 33%, 8%, p=0.012; >5°: 16%, 0%, p=0.039). S1WA correlated with sacral slanting (r=0.45, p<0.001) and L4 tilt (r= 0.35, p<0.001) and was significantly greater with Lenke lumbar modifier C than A (2.4°±2.6°, 0.8°±2.0°; p<0.001). Conclusions: The S1 vertebra was deformed and wedge-shaped in AIS, especially in cases with a large lumbar curve. Additionally, S1WA is associated with sacral slanting and L4 tilt on radiography in AIS.

    Introduction: We investigated the relationships between patient factors, including obesity, osteopenia, and scoliosis, and the reliability of measures of the spinopelvic sagittal parameters using conventional X-radiography (Xp) and slot-scanning Xp devices (EOS) and examined the differences in interobserver measurement reliability between them. Methods: We retrospectively enrolled 55 patients (52.7±25.3 years, 27 females) with conventional whole-spine Xp and EOS images taken within three months. Patients were classified according to obesity (Body mass index!25 kg/m2), osteopenia (T score<−1), and scoliosis (Cobb angle>20°). The associations between patient factors and reliability of radiological parameter measurements were examined with interobserver intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), defined as poor, <.40; good, 40-.79; and excellent, !.80. Results: All parameters measured with EOS showed excellent reliability except for L4-S (ICC:.760, 95% CI:.295-.927) in the obesity+ group. All parameters measured with conventional Xp were excellent except for those classified as good: L 4-S (.608,.093-.868) and pelvic incidence (PI) (.512,.078-.832) in the obese+ group; T1 slope (.781,.237-.952), L4-S (.718,.112-.936), sacral slope (SS) (.792,.237-.955), pelvic tilt (PT) (.787,.300-.952), and center of acoustic meatus and femoral head offset (CAM-HA) (.690,.090-.928) in the osteopenia+ group; and lumbar lordosis (LL, L4-S) (.712,.349-.889), SS (.608,.178-.843), and CAM-HA (.781,.480-.917) in the scoliosis+ group. Conclusions: Reliability of EOS measurements was preferable except for L4-S in patients with obesity. The reliability of conventional Xp measurements of pelvic parameters SS, PT, and PI was affected by patient factors, including obesity, osteopenia, and scoliosis. When evaluating lower lumbar and pelvic parameters in patients with these factors, we recommend substituting thoracic parameters, LL (L1-S), sagittal vertical axis (SVA), and T1 pelvic angle (TPA), or combining computed tomography (CT) measurements.

    Purpose: To examine inherent differences adjusted for age and clinical score in whole-body sagittal (WBS) alignment involving the lower extremities between Asians and Caucasians, and to determine the relationship between age and WBS parameters by race and sex. Methods: A total of 317 individuals consisting of 206 Asians and 111 Caucasians participated. WBS parameters including C2-7 lordotic angle, lower lumbar lordosis (lower LL, L4-S), pelvic incidence (PI), pelvic thickness, knee flexion (KF), sagittal vertical axis (SVA), and T1 pelvic angle (TPA) were evaluated radiologically. Propensity score-matching adjustments for age and the Oswestry Disability Index scores for comparative analysis between the two race cohorts and correlation analysis between age and WBS parameters for all subjects by race and sex were conducted. Results: The comparative analysis included 136 subjects (age: Asians 41.1 ± 13.5, Caucasians 42.3 ± 16.2 years, p = 0.936). Racial differences in WBS parameters were observed in C2-7 lordotic angle (−1.8 ± 12.3 vs. 6.3 ± 12.2 degrees, p = 0.001), and lower LL (34.0 ± 6.6 vs. 38.0 ± 6.1 degrees, p <.001). In correlation analysis with age, moderate or more significant correlations with age were found in KF for all groups, and in SVA and TPA for females of both racial groups. Age-related changes in pelvic parameters of PI and pelvic thickness were more significant in Caucasian females. Conclusion: Analysis of the correlation between age and WBS parameters suggested that age-related WBS changes vary between races and should be considered during corrective spinal surgery.

    The relationship between hearing and motor function as a function of aging is unclear. Therefore, we aimed to clarify the relationship between age-related hearing loss and locomotive syndrome. In total, 240 participants aged ≥40 years, whose hearing acuity and motor function had been measured, were included in this study. Patients with a hearing acuity of <35 dB and ≥35 dB were categorized into normal and low hearing acuity groups, respectively. Motor function was compared according to sex between the groups. Among men, those in the low hearing acuity group (51/100) were older, had a significantly slower walking speed, and had a higher prevalence of locomotive syndrome than those in the normal group. Among women, those in the low hearing group (14/140) were older and had a significantly slower gait speed than those in the normal group. The multivariate analysis showed that, in the low hearing acuity group, age and gait speed were risk factors in men, while age was the only risk factor in women. In conclusion, hearing loss was associated with walking speed. The association between hearing loss and locomotive syndrome was observed only in men. In the multivariate analysis, hearing loss was associated with walking speed only in men.

    Background: This study aims to investigate the utility of the Doppler effect on ultrasonography for the diagnosis of very early- and early-stage lumbar spondylolysis in adolescent patients. Methods: In total, 76 adolescent patients with acute and subacute low back pain were prospectively enrolled, with 46 having lumbar spondylolysis and the remaining 30 having low back pain without spondylolysis. MRI and/or computed tomograms scans revealed very early- and early-stage lumbar spondylolysis. Furthermore, positive Doppler findings in ultrasonography around the area from the facet joint to the laminae were investigated. Results: There were no significant differences in age (p > 0.99) and body mass index (p = 0.11) between cases with and without spondylolysis. Very early- and early-stage spondylolysis were observed in 27.6% and 72.4% of patients, respectively. Positive power Doppler was 91.3% and 33.3% in cases with and without spondylolysis, respectively, which was significantly higher in spondylolysis (p < 0.001). The sensitivity and specificity of this positive power Doppler were 91.4% and 66.7%, respectively. Furthermore, the rate of positive power Doppler was significantly higher in early-stage spondylolysis (p = 0.02), with 75.0% and 97.6% sensitivity in very early- and early-stage spondylolysis, respectively. Conclusions: A positive Doppler effect on ultrasonography is effective for screening very early- and early-stage spondylolysis in adolescent patients in an outpatient clinic.

    Spinal cord tumors are infrequently identified spinal diseases that are often difficult to diagnose even with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings. To minimize the probability of overlooking these tumors and improve diagnostic accuracy, an automatic diagnostic system is needed. We aimed to develop an automated system for detecting and diagnosing spinal schwannomas and meningiomas based on deep learning using You Only Look Once (YOLO) version 4 and MRI. In this retrospective diagnostic accuracy study, the data of 50 patients with spinal schwannomas, 45 patients with meningiomas, and 100 control cases were reviewed, respectively. Sagittal T1-weighted (T1W) and T2-weighted (T2W) images were used for object detection, classification, training, and validation. The object detection and diagnosis system was developed using YOLO version 4. The accuracies of the proposed object detections based on T1W, T2W, and T1W + T2W images were 84.8%, 90.3%, and 93.8%, respectively. The accuracies of the object detection for two spine surgeons were 88.9% and 90.1%, respectively. The accuracies of the proposed diagnoses based on T1W, T2W, and T1W + T2W images were 76.4%, 83.3%, and 84.1%, respectively. The accuracies of the diagnosis for two spine surgeons were 77.4% and 76.1%, respectively. We demonstrated an accurate, automated detection and diagnosis of spinal schwannomas and meningiomas using the developed deep learning-based method based on MRI. This system could be valuable in supporting radiological diagnosis of spinal schwannomas and meningioma, with a potential of reducing the radiologist’s overall workload.

    Axons of terminally differentiated neurons in the mammalian central nervous system (CNS) are unable to regenerate after dissection. One of the mechanisms underlying this is the inhibition of axonal regeneration by chondroitin sulfate (CS) and its neuronal receptor, PTPσ. Our previous results demonstrated that the CS–PTPσ axis disrupted autophagy flux by dephosphorylating cortactin, which led to the formation of dystrophic endballs and to the inhibition of axonal regeneration. In contrast, juvenile neurons vigorously extend axons toward their targets during development and maintain regenerative activity for axons even after injury. Although several intrinsic and extrinsic mechanisms have been reported to mediate the differences, the detailed mechanisms are still elusive. Here, we report that Glypican-2, a member of heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPG), which are able to antagonize CS–PTPσ by competing with the receptor, is specifically expressed in the axonal tips of embryonic neurons. Glypican-2 overexpression in adult neurons rescues the dystrophic endball back to a healthy growth cone on the CSPG gradient. Consistently, Glypican-2 restored cortactin phosphorylation in the axonal tips of adult neurons on CSPG. Taken together, our results clearly demonstrated Glypican-2's pivotal role in defining the axonal response to CS and provided a new therapeutic target for axonal injury.

    Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the differences in the involvement of whole-body compensatory alignment in different conditions of spinopelvic sagittal balance (compensated/decompensated). Methods: We enrolled 330 individuals who underwent medical checkups and divided them according to sagittal vertical axis (SVA): for the compensated group, this was <4 cm, (group C) and for the decompensated group, it was ≥4 cm, (group D). The correlation between the lack of ideal lumbar lordosis (iLL), which was calculated by using the Schwab formula, and the compensatory radiographic parameters in each group was analyzed. The threshold value of knee flexion (KF) angle, which indicated spinopelvic sagittal imbalance (SVA ≥ 4), was determined by a ROC-curve analysis. Results: The correlation analysis of the lack of iLL and each compensatory parameter showed a strong correlation for pelvic tilt (PT) (r = −0.723), and a weak correlation for thoracic kyphosis (TK) (r = 275) in Group C. In Group D, the correlations were strong for PT (r = −0.796), and moderate for TK (r = 0.462) and KF (r = −0.415). The optimal cutoff value for the KF angle was determined to be 8.4 degrees (sensitivity 89%, specificity 46%). Conclusions: The present study shows differences between compensated/decompensated spinopelvic sagittal balance in the correlation strength between lack of iLL and whole-body compensatory parameters.

    Study Design: Retrospective cohort study Objectives: The criteria for determining completion of intervertebral stability after posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) remain controversial. Several new radiological indicators of bone growth and osteointegration have been established. We compared computed tomography (CT) findings related to osteointegration after PLIF with interbody cages of two different materials and designs. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed data from 103 patients who underwent PLIF with three-dimensional porous tantalum (Tn) cages or titanium-coated polyetheretherketone (TiP) cages. CT images obtained 3 months and 1 year after surgery were examined for trabecular bone remodeling (TBR), cancellous condensation (CC), and vertebral endplate cyst (VEC) formation. The incidences of each finding were compared by cage type, and rates of instrument failure and pseudarthrosis were determined. Results: Three months postoperatively, 87% of the levels with Tn cages exhibited TBR, whereas 96% of those with TiP cages did not (P <.001). Most levels with Tn cages levels exhibited TBR and no CC 3 months (81%) and 1 year (94%) after surgery. Although 78% of levels with TiP cages exhibited CC and no TBR 3 months after surgery, 59% exhibited both CC and TBR 1 year after surgery. Significantly fewer VECs formed around the Tn cages than around the TiP cages both 3 months (P =.002) and 1 year (P <.001) after surgery. Implant-related problems occurred at levels that exhibited neither TBR nor CC. Conclusions: The porous tantalum cage may enable intervertebral stability that is comparable to bony fusion soon after surgery.

    Background: The current study aimed to investigate the anatomical position of the gonadal veins (GVs) from the viewpoint of spine surgery and the risk factors associated with lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF). Methods: This retrospective study included 99 consecutive patients. The GV locations were divided into the ventral (V), dorsal medial (DM), and dorsal lateral (DL) sides based on lumbar disk levels on axial contrast-enhanced computed tomography images. The DM region surrounded by the vertebral body and psoas muscle had the highest risk of GV injury. The GV at each intervertebral disk level was examined in terms of laterality and sex. The patients were divided into group M (which included those with GV in the DM region at any vertebral level) and group O (which included those without GV in the DM region at any vertebral level). Then, the two groups were compared. Results: In the case of lower lumbar levels and in women, the GVs were commonly observed in the DM region. Group M had a higher incidence of degenerative scoliosis than group O and a significantly larger Cobb angle. Conclusions: We should pay close attention to the GV location on the preoperative image when using LLIF, particularly in female patients with degenerative scoliosis.

    This study aimed to clarify the relationship between visual acuity and motor function in younger and elderly participants and to compare differences between non-elderly and elderly participants. In total, 295 participants who underwent visual and motor functional examinations were included; participants with visual acuity ≥0.7 were assigned to the normal group (N group) and those with visual acuity ≤0.7 were assigned to the low-visual-acuity group (L group). Motor function was compared between the N and L groups; the analysis was performed by grouping participants into those aged >65 years (elderly) and those aged <65 years (non-elderly). The non-elderly group (average age, 55.6 ± 6.7 years) had 105 and 35 participants in the N and L groups, respectively. Back muscle strength was significantly lower in the L group than in the N group. The elderly group (average age, 71.1 ± 5.1 years) had 102 and 53 participants in the N and L groups, respectively. Gait speed was significantly lower in the L group than in the N group. These results reveal differences in the relationship between vision and motor function in non-elderly and elderly adults and indicate that poor vision is associated with lower back-muscle strength and walking speed in younger and elderly participants, respectively.

    Purpose: To investigate the age-specific normative values of whole-body sagittal alignment (WBSA) including global balance parameters in healthy adults and to clarify the correlations among parameters based on the data from three international multicenter. Methods: Three hundred and seventeen healthy subjects (range: 20–84 y.o., mean: 43.8 ± 14.7 y.o.) were included and underwent whole-body biplanar X-ray imaging system. Spinopelvic parameters and knee flexion (KF), the center of acoustic meatus (CAM)-hip axis (HA), and C2 dentiform apophyse (OD)-HA, the cranial center (Cr)-HA were evaluated radiologically. Sub-analysis for correlation analysis between age and parameters and among parameters was performed to investigate age-specific change and compensatory mechanisms. Results: For age-related change, C2-7 angle (r =.326 for male/.355 for female), KF (r =.427/.429), and SVA (r =.234/.507) increased with age in both male and female group. For global parameters related to the center of the gravity, correlations with age were not significant (r =.120/.161 for OD-HA, r =.163/.275 for Cr-HA, r =.149/.262 for CAM-HA). Knee flexion (KF) has correlation with global parameters (i.e., SVA, OD-HA, Cr-HA, CAM-HA) and does not have correlations with local spinopelvic alignment. Conclusion: While several local alignment changes with age were found, changes in global parameters related to the center of gravity were kept relatively mild by the chain of compensation mechanisms including the lower limbs. We showed the normative values for a comprehensive WBSA in standing posture from large international healthy subjects’ database.

    Background and Objectives: To prevent postoperative problems in extreme lateral interbody fusion (XLIF), it is critical that the vertebral endplate not be injured. Unintentional endplate injuries may depend on the cage. A novel porous titanium cage for XLIF has improved geometry with a tapered tip and smooth surface. We hypothesized that this new cage should lead to fewer endplate injuries. Materials and Methods: This retrospective study included 32 patients (mean 74.1 ± 6.7 years, 22 females) who underwent anterior and posterior combined surgery with XLIF for lumbar degenerative disease or adult spinal deformity from January 2018 to June 2022. A tapered 3D porous titanium cage (3DTi; 11 patients) and a squared PEEK cage (sPEEK; 21 patients) were used. Spinal alignment values were measured on X-ray images. Vertebral endplate concavity (VEC) was defined as concavity ≥ 1 mm of the endplate on computed tomography (CT) images, which were evaluated preoperatively and at 1 week and 3 months postoperatively. Results: There were no significant differences in the patient demographic data and preoperative and 3-month postoperative spinal alignments between the groups. A 3DTi was used for 25 levels and an sPEEK was used for 38 levels. Preoperative local lordotic angles were 4.3° for 3DTi vs. 4.7° for sPEEK (p = 0.90), which were corrected to 12.3° and 9.1° (p = 0.029), respectively. At 3 months postoperatively, the angles were 11.6° for 3DTi and 8.2° for sPEEK (p = 0.013). VEC was present in 2 levels (8.0%) for 3DTi vs. 17 levels (45%) for sPEEK (p = 0.002). After 3 months postoperatively, none of the 3DTi had VEC progression; however, eight (21%) levels in sPEEK showed VEC progression (p = 0.019). Conclusions: The novel 3DTi cage reduced endplate injuries by reducing the endplate load during cage insertion.

    Introduction: The importance of lower-limb compensation in patients with spinal malalignment due to spinal pathologies has been emphasized. The latest whole-body X-ray images (WBX) have enabled evaluations of whole-body alignment from head to toe. However, WBX is still not commonly available. Thus, the present study aimed to examine an alternative measurement method of the femoral angle on usual full-spine X-ray images (FSX) that approximates the femoral angle on WBX. Methods: A total of 50 patients (age, 52.8 ± 25.3 years; female, n = 26; male, n = 24) underwent WBX and FSX. The following parameters were measured on lateral view X-rays: WBX and FSX femoral angle (angle between the femoral axis and a perpendicular line); FSX femoral distance (distance from the center of femoral head to the distal femur on FSX); WBX intersection length (length between the center of the femoral head and the intersection point [the point at which the line connecting the center of the femoral head and the midpoint of the femoral condyle intersects the center line of the femur] on WBX). Results: The WBX femoral angle, and FSX femoral angle were 0.16 ± 4.2°, and −0.53 ± 4.1°, respectively. The FSX femoral distance was 102.7 ± 41.1 mm. An ROC curve analysis revealed that the cut-off value of the FSX femoral distance associated with minimal difference in the WBX and FSX femoral angles (<3°) was 73 mm (sensitivity 83.3%, specificity 87.5%, AUC 0.80). The WBX intersection length was 105.3 ± 27.3 mm. Conclusion: To calculate the femoral angle on FSX that approximates the WBX femoral angle, the femoral distance on FSX ≥73 mm is preferable. We suggest using the FSX femoral distance within the range of 80 mm–130 mm as a simple numerical value that meets all criteria.

    Background: The incidence of diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) is increasing with the aging of the population. Asymptomatic DISH can decrease the spinal range of motion (ROM) and cause fractures. However, the prevalence or physical function of patients with DISH before experiencing fractures and other serious conditions is unclear. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of DISH in the community residents on the basis of age and sex and characterize their physical function, ROM, and bone fragility. Methods: The subjects were community volunteers who attended a health checkup in 2018 and 2019. Overall, 455 subjects (mean age, 64.2 ± 9.7 years; 177 men) were included for analysis. We performed whole-spine lateral radiography for detecting DISH according to the criteria reported by Resnick. We compared the age, sex, body mass index (BMI), results of muscle strength and walking tests, ROM measured by SpinalMouse®, and quantitative ultrasound (QUS) of calcaneus with and without DISH. Results: DISH was detected in 83 (18.2%) cases. The DISH group was older (69.8 y.o. vs. 63.0 y.o.; p < 0.05) and comprised more men (prevalence: men, 27.7%; women, 12.2%; p < 0.001). BMI was high in the DISH group (24.8 vs. 23.3 kg/m2, p < 0.05). SpinalMouse measurements showed the DISH group had a significantly decreased ROM in the lumbar spine (43.2°, 57.2°, p < 0.05). The DISH group had a significantly lower T-score on the QUS measurement in the calcaneus (−2.0, −1.5, p < 0.05). There were, however, no significant differences between groups in both muscle strength test and walking test. Conclusion: Subjects with DISH had decreased ROM in the lumbar spine and bone mineral density in calcaneal QUS. However, physical functions such as muscle strength and walking ability were similar among subjects with and without DISH without subjective symptoms.

    Background: This study aimed to characterize the anatomical relationship between the spine, the celiac artery (CA), and the median arcuate ligament using preoperative contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) images of patients with spinal deformity who underwent surgical correction. Methods: This retrospective study included 81 consecutive patients (34 males, 47 females; average age: 70.2 years). The spinal level at which the CA originated, the diameter, extent of stenosis, and calcification were determined using CT sagittal images. Patients were divided into two groups: CA stenosis group and non-stenosis group. Factors associated with stenosis were examined. Results: CA stenosis was observed in 17 (21%) patients. CA stenosis group had significantly higher body mass index (24.9 ± 3.9 vs. 22.7 ± 3.7, p = 0.03). In the CA stenosis group, J-type CA (upward angling of the course by more than 90° immediately after descending) was more frequently observed (64.7% vs. 18.8%, p < 0.001). The CA stenosis group had lower pelvic tilt (18.6 ± 6.7 vs. 25.1 ± 9.9, p = 0.02) than non-stenosis group. Conclusions: High BMI, J-type, and shorter distance between CA and MAL were risk factors for CA stenosis in this study. Patients with high BMI undergoing fixation of multiple intervertebral corrective fusions at the thoracolumbar junction should undergo preoperative CT evaluation of the anatomy of CA to assess the poteitial risk of celiac artery compression syndrome.

    脊髄損傷後に形成されるグリア性瘢痕において、再生中の神経軸索の先端はdystrophic endballと呼ばれる球体構造を呈し伸長を停止してしまう。一方で、胎生期の神経細胞は脊髄損傷の状況を再現した環境においても軸索伸長をすることが知られている。さらに胎生期神経ではグリア性瘢痕での神経伸長の阻害因子であるPTPσに抑制的に働くヘパラン硫酸プロテオグリカン(HSPG)が細胞表面に豊富に発現していることが明らかになった。本研究ではグリア性瘢痕において強い再生能力を持つ胎生期神経細胞に特異的な分子機構を明らかにし、糖鎖的アプローチを用いた脊髄損傷の有効な新薬開発に繋げていく。
