Objectives The purpose of this study was to compare the effects between the degree of herniated intervertebral lumbar disc (HIVD) at L4-5 level and improvement of low back pain treated by Korean Medicine therapy. Methods 567 patients who received inpatient treatment from May 2014 to December 2015 in the Daejeon-Jaseng of Korean Medicine Hospital were divided into 6 groups by the degree of HIVD at L4-5 level confirmed with a Lumbar spine magnetic resonance imaging. All patients received a combination of treatment including acupunture, chuna manual therapy, pharmacopunture, herbal medication. They were compared and analyzed on the basis of improvement between measuring Numeric Rating Scale (NRS), Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), EuroQol-5 Dimension Index (EQ5D Index) as they were hospitalized and as they were discharged. The statistically significance was evaluated by SPSS 23.0 for windows. Results After treatment, Normal stage on Intervertebral Lumbar Disc at L4-5 level group's Numeric Rating Scale (NRS), Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), EuroQol-5 Dimension Index (EQ5D Index) improvement was $1.30{\pm}1.62$, $4.52{\pm}11.82$ and $0.04{\pm}0.11$ respectively. Bulging group's improvement was $3.25{\pm}2.81$, $8.28{\pm}13.02$ and $0.09{\pm}0.17$ respectively. Spinal canal occupying ratio (SOR) less than 20 group's improvement was $2.15{\pm}1.92$, $11.79{\pm}17.81$ and $0.13{\pm}0.23$ respectively. SOR 20 to less than 40 stage group's improvement was $2.13{\pm}1.92$. $10.79{\pm}15.93$ and $0.10{\pm}0.26$ respectively. SOR 40 to less than 60 group's improvement was $2.16{\pm}2.24$, $9.80{\pm}16.62$ and $0.15{\pm}0.25$ respectively. Surgery group's improvement was $2.47{\pm}2.21$, $11.64{\pm}18.53$ and $0.15{\pm}0.27$ respectively (p<0.03). But there was no statistically significance between 6 group's improvement after treatment (p>0.05). Conclusions After inpatient treatment by Korean Medicine therapy, Most patient's pain, disability and Health Related Quality of Life was improved significantly. But there was no statistically correlation between the degree of HIVD at L4-5 level and improvement of low back pain. So We think that future research of higher quality and correct statistics shall be necessary.

목적 본 연구는 gadoxetic acid 조영증강 간 자기공명영상에서 T1 이완시간이 만성간질환을 가진 환자에서 간섬유화의 발견과 병기설정에 유용한지 알아보고자 한다. 대상과 방법 국소간병변이 의심되는 103명 환자들이 간 자기공명영상과 Fibroscan을 시행하였다. Fibroscan은 간섬유화의 정도를 분류하는 참조표준검사로 사용되었다. T1 이완시간은 조영제 주입 전(preT1)과 주입 20분 후(postT1), 그리고 이들 간의 T1 이완시간 감소율(rrT1)을 3 테슬라 자기공명영상의 횡단 3D VIBE 시퀀스 하에 측정하였다. Receiver operating characteristic (이하 ROC) 분석을 통해 간섬유화 병기설정을 위한 최적의 cut-off 값이 결정되었다. 결과 METAVIR score (F0-F4)에 따른 간섬유화 병기가 증가함에 따라, preT1과 postT1은 증가하였고, rrT1은 감소하였다. PreT1의 F2와 F3 사이(F2, 836.0 ± 74.7 ms; F3, 888.6 ± 77.5 ms, p < 0.05), postT1의 F3와 F4 사이(F3, 309.0 ± 80.2 ms; F4, 406.6 ± 147.7 ms, p < 0.05), 그리고 rrT1의 F3와 F4사이(F3, 65.4 ± 7.7%; F4 57.3 ± 11.4%, p < 0.05)에서 통계적 유의미한 차이를 보였다. ROC 분석은 preT1과 postT1의 병용검사가 간섬유화 병기설정에 있어 가장 유용한 검사라는 것을 보여준다. 결론 preT1과 postT1은 간섬유화 병기가 증가함에 따라 증가하며, T1 mapping이 gadoxetic acid 조영증강 간 자기공명영상에서 간섬유화 병기설정에 있어 유용한 보조적 시퀀스로 사용될 수 있다.
