The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between self-efficacy and adherence of exercise in patients with ankylosing spondylitis. The subjects for this study were the 50 patients with ankylosing spondylitis who had been diagnosed as out patients in the Rheumatism Center of one university hospital in Seoul and participated in the 8 weeks exercise program. The data were collected by a questionnaire the period from April 1 to May 2, 2000. Data were analyzed by t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient, Frequencies, using the SAS program. The results were as follows: The mean duration for exercise adherence of ankylosing spondylitis was 12.2 months. The mean self-efficacy score was 74.3 in a possible range of 10 to 100. A significant difference of self-efficacy was found between adherers and non-adherers and self-efficacy of adherer was higher than that of non-adheres(t=4.25, p=.001). Self-efficacy was significantly associated with the total duration of an exercise adherence(r=.42, p=.001). These findings may indicate that the relationship between self-efficacy and exercise adherence in patients with ankylosing spondylitis was supported. From these results, it can be suggested that the relationship between self-efficacy and exercise adherence in patients with ankylosing spondylitis. Therefore, intervention is needed to promote self-efficacy of ankylosing spondylitis and futher studies should develop self-efficacy promoting programs for patients with ankylosing spondylitis.

Ankylosing spondylitis is a chronic inflammatory multisystem disease that primarily affects the axial joints. Pleuropulmonary involvement is an uncommon extra-articular manifestation of ankylosing spondylitis. There is a wide spectrum of pulmonary parenchymal changes in ankylosing spondylitis, beginning in the early stages of the disease and increasing over time. The lesions are usually asymptomatic, and not visible on chest radiographs in early stages. We reported a case of advanced ankylosing spondylitis in a 56-year-old man with progressive pulmonary bullous fibrocystic changes on both upper lobes that were misdiagnosed as tuberculosis in the early stages of the disease.

Bilateral pedicle stress fracture is a rare entity and few cases have been reported in the literature. Furthermore, the majority of these reports concern previous spine surgery or stress-related activities. Here, the authors report ankylosing spondylitis as a new cause of bilateral pedicle stress fractures accompanying spondylolysis. The reported case adds to the literature on bilateral pedicle stress fracture and spondylolysis by documenting that ankylosing spondylitis is another cause of this condition.

Objective : Ankylosing spondylitic is a chronic inflammatory disease which most frequently the sacro-iliac joints of young men and known as rare disease. There was no clinical report on functional assessment of ankylosing spondylitis. In order to evaluate the effect of clinical treatment, it was necessary to apply valuable and useful of assessment. Methods : We evaluate 1 cases of diagnosed patient with askylosing spondylitis by AIMS2, M-HAQ, K-HAQ, BASFI, and BASDAI after a series of herbal acupuncture treatment.(Solution of herbal acupuncture is made of vaporizing extraction method from the prescription Sineumheo 1.) Results : Herbal acupuncture had relieved pain and morning stiffness successfully and recovered ankylosing spondylitis functionally. Conclusion : 1. Herbal acupuncture had relieved pain and morning stiffness of ankylosing spondylitis. 2. AIMS2 was not useful to evaluate ankylosing spondylitis because of long evaluation time and low specificity. 3. Although there is no translation version of them, BASFI, and BASDAI are clinically useful of assessment, because of short evaluation time and high specificity. 4. K-HAQ with M-HAQ is useful to evaluate the treatment of ankylosing spondylitis because of snort evaluation time and high specificity.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the mediating effect of fatigue on the relationship between pain and sleep disturbance in patients with ankylosing spondylitis. Methods: The subjects of this study were 109 patients with ankylosing spondylitis who visited the rheumatology department in a university hospital. Subjects completed structured questionnaires measuring pain, sleep disturbance, and fatigue. Data were analyzed using t-test, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and 3-step regression analysis. Results: Pain was positively correlated with fatigue (r=.60, p<.001) and sleep disturbance (r=.45, p<.001). Fatigue was positively correlated with sleep disturbance (r=.55, p<.001) and had a mediating effect on the relationship between pain and sleep disturbance. Conclusion: The findings confirm that pain in patients with ankylosing spondylitis affects fatigue and its accumulation has a mediating effect on increasing the level of sleep disturbance. In clinical practice, education on symptom management for patients with ankylosing spondylitis needs to be provided for encouraging proper exercise and rest. Patient education should also include strategies to reduce fatigue and promote sleep in daily lives in addition to pain management.

Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory joint disorder characterized by sacroiliitis, spondylitis and enthesitis. Patients suffering from AS may also have extra-articular symptoms, such as uveitis, bowl disease, heart, lung, skin, bone and kidney involvement, but vary widely in severity and prevalence. Facial manifestation of AS include eye involvement and temporomandibular joint involvement. In this study, a case of an AS that mimicked dental pain was presented.

본 연구는 AS 환자의 인구·사회학적 특성 및 질병 특성, Bath 강직성 척추염 질병활성도 지수(KBASDAI), Bath 강직성 척추염 기능 지수(KBASFI)가 이들의 삶의 질에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위한 서술적 조사연구이다. 강직성 척추염을 진단을 받은 만 19세 이상의 환자 146명을 대상으로 온라인 설문조사를 통해 자료를 수집하였다. 삶의 질은 Ankylosing spondylitis quality of life(ASQoL)로 측정하였다. 변수 특성에 따른 삶의 질 차이를 단변량 분석하고, 삶의 질 영향요인을 살펴보기 위해 다중회귀분석을 시행하였다. 회귀분석결과 설명력은 57.8%로 KBASFI 점수(𝛽=0.622, p<0.001)와 KBASDAI 점수(𝛽=0.180, p=0.032)가 높아질수록, 가구 월 평균 소득 (𝛽=0.186, p=0.001)이 낮은 그룹이 삶의 질이 나쁜 것으로 나타났다. AS 환자들의 삶의 질 개선을 위해 질병활성도를 낮추고 기능을 개선시킬 수 있는 중재 연구가 필요하다.

Introduction : In patient with ankylosing spondylitis, when bone formation progresses, spinal fusion occurs and joint motion is severely limited. We performed Medical Gi-gong and Korean medical therapies in patient with advanced ankylosing spondylitis with spinal fusion. Case : 46-year-old male with extensive spinal fusion at the cervical and lumbar spine complains of back pain, hip pain, joint stiffness, eye pain, and digestive problems. HLA-B27 (+), mSASSS is 70. Medical Gi-gong was done 311 days for 340 days. Acupuncture, cupping, and manual treatment were performed once every 5.9 days for one year. BASDAI improved from 5.3 to 4.3, BASFI from 4.3 to 3.7, and BASMI from 6.8 to 5.8. mSASSS did not change. Conclusions : Patients with advanced ankylosing spondylitis were treated with Medical Gigong and Korean medical therapies to achieve a slight improvement.
