  • Objective : The ability to induce segmental lordosis has been reported to be marginal with transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion[TLIF]. Therefore, we analyzed the short-term radiological outcomes of TLIF using $8^{\circ}$ wedged cages for isthmic spondylolisthesis. Methods : Twenty-seven patients with isthmic spondylolisthesis who underwent single level TLIF with pedicle screw fixation[PSF] using $8^{\circ}$ wedged cages were retrospectively evaluated. Changes in disc height, degree of anterolisthesis, segmental lumbar lordosis, whole lumbar lordosis and L1 axis S1 distance were evaluated using standing lateral radiographs before surgery, at 6 weeks follow-up and at the final follow-up. Results : The mean age of the patients was 49.9 years [range, 38 to 64 years]. The affected levels were L4-5 in 17 cases and L5-S1 in 10. There were 18 cases of Grade I isthmic spondylolisthesis and 9 cases of Grade II. At a mean follow-up duration of 9.9 months [range, 6 to 18 months], the disc height [p< 0.001] was significantly increased, and the degree of anterolisthesis was significantly reduced [p< 0.001]. Regarding the sagittal balance, the segmental lumbar lordosis was significantly increased [p=0.01], but other parameters were not significantly changed after surgery. Conclusion : TLIF with PSF using $8^{\circ}$ wedged cages significantly increased the segmental lumbar lordosis.

  • Objective : This consecutive retrospective study was designed to analyze and to compare the efficacy and outcomes of anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) using a fibular and femur allograft with anterior cervical plating. Methods : A total of 88 consecutive patients suffering from cervical degenerative disc disease (DDD) who were treated with ACDF from September 2007 to August 2010 were enrolled in this study. Thirty-seven patients (58 segments) underwent anterior interbody fusion with a femur allograft, and 51 patients (64 segments) were treated with a fibular allograft. The mean follow-up period was 16.0 (range, 12-25) months in the femur group and 19.5 (range, 14-39) months in the fibular group. Cage fracture and breakage, subsidence rate, fusion rate, segmental angle and height and disc height were assessed by using radiography. Clinical outcomes were assessed using a visual analog scale and neck disability index. Results : At 12 months postoperatively, cage fracture and breakage had occurred in 3.4% (2/58) and 7.4% (4/58) of the patients in the femur group, respectively, and 21.9% (14/64) and 31.3% (20/64) of the patients in the fibular group, respectively (p<0.05). Subsidence was noted in 43.1% (25/58) of the femur group and in 50.5% (32/64) of the fibular group. No difference in improvements in the clinical outcome between the two groups was observed. Conclusion : The femur allograft showed good results in subsidence and radiologic parameters, and sustained the original cage shape more effectively than the fibular allograft. The present study suggests that the femur allograft may be a good choice as a fusion substitute for the treatment of cervical DDD.

  • Moored ocean buoys are technically feasible approach for making sustained time series observation in the oceans and will be an important component of any long-term ocean observing system. The 3M disc buoy carried Zeno 3200, MCCB, Orbcomm, Global Star and Bluetooth module. The deployments have relied on Orbcomm and Global Star as the primary satellite communications system. In addition to detailing our practical experience in the use of Orbcomm and Global Star as high latitudes, we will present some of scientific sensor results regarding real-time oceanographic and meteorological parameters such as wind speed, wave height and etc. In this paper we present the design and implementation of a small-scale buoy sensor network. One of the major challenges is that the network is hard to access after its deployment and hence both hardware and software must be robust and reliable.

  • The purpose of this study lies in finding out the effect that variation of pain and body deflection posture has an influence on the static spinal stabilization after having performed spinal stabilization exercise making degenerative disc disease patients an object over 8 weeks using $CENTAUR^{(R)}$, 3-D spinal stabilization training implement. Subjects : 61 of DDD patients were made as an object of this study (mean age: 45.46 years, SD: ${\pm}12.78$, range: 16-68), their average height was 161.87cm, average weight 60.70kg, 12 males and 49 females were involved. Methods: 8 various investigations were performed and varied values were compared with reinvestigation done after having exercised 8 weeks using 3-D $CENTAUR^{(R)}$. We used VAS(Visual Analog Scale) in order to see the variation of pain intensity, MOS(Modified Oswestry Scale) in order to see activities of daily life. Results VAS was lessened from 7.50 to 2.71, limitation of routine life(MOS) from 20.26 to 9.32, there were remarkable differences statistically(p<0.05). As a result of muscular investigation for static spinal stabilization by 8 variations of body deflection, muscular strength were all increased and there were remarkable differences statistically(p<0.05). Conclusions : It has been turned out that pain and limitation of daily life was lessened as a result of making 61 of degenerative disc disease patients exercised 8 weeks using $CENTAUR^{(R)}$, 3-D spinal stabilization training implement, deep muscular power was increased. Thus it has been turned out that 3-D lumbar stabilization exercise has an effect on the spinal muscles strengthening and alleviation of their pain for degenerative disc disease.

  • Objective : To evaluate radiographic results of anterior fusion methods in two-level cervical disc disease : tricortical autograft and plate fixation (ACDF-AP), cage and plate fixation (ACDF-CP), stand-alone cage (ACDF-CA), and corpectomy and plate fixation (ACCF). Methods: The numbers of patients were 70 with a minimum 6 month follow-up (ACDF-AP : 12, ACDF-CP : 27, ACDF-CA : 15, and ACCF : 16). Dynamic simple X-ray and computed tomography were evaluated preoperatively, postoperatively, 6 month, and at the final follow-up. The fusion and subsidence rates at the final were determined, and global cervical lordosis (GCL), cervical range of motion, fused segment angle (FSA), and fused segment height (FSH) were analyzed. Results: Nonunion was observed in 4 (25%) patients with ACDF-CA, 1 (8%) patient with ACDF-AP, 1 (4%) patient with ACDF-CP. The number of loss of FSH (%) more than 3 mm were 2 patients (16%) in ACDF-AP, 3 patients (11%) in ACDF-CP, 5 patients (33%) in ACDF-CA, and 3 patients (20%) in ACCF. The GCL was decreased with ACDF-CA and increased with others. The FSA was increased with ACDF-AP, ACDF-CP, and ACCF, but ACDF-CA was decreased. At the final follow-up, the FSH was slightly decreased in ACDF-CP, ACDF-AP, and ACCF, but ACDF-CA was more decreased. Graft related complication were minimal. Screw loosening, plate fracture, cage subsidence and migration were not identified. Conclusion: ACDF-CP demonstrated a higher fusion rate and less minimal FSH loss than the other fusions in two-level cervical disc disease. The ACDF-AP and ACCF methods had a better outcome than the ACDF-CA with respect to GCL, FSA, and FSH.
