Abstract:
Clinical characteristics and operational findings of 466 patients are presented, all the patients having been operated for osteochondrosis of vertebral column. Compression of contens of vertebral column at cervical, thoracic and lumbar levels was met correspondingly in 23, 3 and 440 patients. Clinical lesion picture in patients , operated at cervical an thoracic levels of vertebral column was manifested by coarse root and conductive disorders in the form of tetra- and paraparesis, and at lumbar level - by anti-pain postures of vertebral column, by lumbar and ischialgic syndrome, by resistant disorders of sensitivity of root type. Analysis of obtained data allowed to come to result, that decompression surgical intervention, though avoiding the causes of pressure of vertebral columns contents, does not correct enough statical and dynamical incompetence of injured part of vertebral column.

Abstract:
Abstract BACKGROUND AND IMPORTANCE: Paragangliomas are rare tumors of neuroendocrine origin that arise from paraganglionic tissue of the extrachromaffin cell system. These lesions may be seen at various sites along the neuraxis. Primary thoracic paragangliomas have rarely been reported in the literature, with secretory thoracic lesions being exceedingly rare as only 3 previous cases have been cited. CLINICAL PRESENTATION: A 49-year-old woman presented with episodes of hypertension, palpitations, and diaphoresis. Workup revealed positive urine catecholamines and a thoracic spine mass extending into the thoracic apex. Preoperative α-blockade with phenoxybenzamine was used followed by posterior decompression and tumor resection. Arthrodesis from C5 to T4 was subsequently performed, and the patient received postoperative radiation. CONCLUSION: Two years postoperatively, the patient has continued to have regression of her symptoms. We report a rare case of a catecholamine-secreting primary thoracic paraganglioma in a 49-year-old woman. These tumors should be treated carefully by the neurosurgeon with preoperative assistance from endocrinology for α-blockade, followed by gross total resection and postoperative radiation if residual tumor remains.

✓ A case of thoracic flexion myelopathy is reported in a 36-year-old man. The patient had a history of gradually progressing transverse thoracic myelopathy. Conventional myelography in the neutral position failed to reveal cord compression; however, a severe block of the dye column was evident on studies in the flexed position. Excellent recovery from this condition was obtained with posterolateral fusion of the thoracic spine in the neutral position.

Abstract:
Sensory fibres from dorsal root ganglia (DRG) enter the spinal cord and run within a clearly defined ipsilateral pathway, the dorsal column, which lies in the dorsal funiculus. We have examined the characteristics of this pathway as a defined substrate for dorsal column axons in Rana temporaria tadpoles by rotating the thoracic spinal cord through 180 degrees from dorsal to ventral. Using HRP as a neuronal tracer we establish that many dorsal column axons from the hindlimb locate the ipsilateral or contralateral dorsal column pathway in the rotated cord. Other axons locate and grow caudally down the contralateral dorsal column returning to the lumbar region. Axons of the dorsal column never take an inappropriate pathway except at the transection sites where they negotiate abnormal routes to reach the contralateral or ipsilateral dorsal columns in normally positioned or rotated cord. The results demonstrate that the dorsal columns act as highly specific pathways for axons from DRG neurones but the axons' interactions with the pathway do not control the craniocaudal or left-right options for growth.

Abstract:
We explored intraspecific variation in vertebral formulae, more specifically the variation in the number of thoracic vertebrae and frequencies of transitional sacral vertebrae inTriturusnewts (Caudata: Salamandridae). Within salamandrid salamanders this monophyletic group shows the highest disparity in the number of thoracic vertebrae and considerable intraspecific variation in the number of thoracic vertebrae.Triturusspecies also differ in their ecological preferences, from predominantly terrestrial to largely aquatic. Following Geoffroy St. Hilaire’s and Darwin’s rule which states that structures with a large number of serially homologous repetitive elements are more variable than structures with smaller numbers, we hypothesized that the variation in vertebral formulae increases in more elongated species with a larger number of thoracic vertebrae. We furthermore hypothesized that the frequency of transitional vertebrae will be correlated with the variation in the number of thoracic vertebrae within the species. We also investigated potential effects of species hybridization on the vertebral formula. The proportion of individuals with a number of thoracic vertebrae different from the modal number and the range of variation in number of vertebrae significantly increased in species with a larger number of thoracic vertebrae. Contrary to our expectation, the frequencies of transitional vertebrae were not correlated with frequencies of change in the complete vertebrae number. The frequency of transitional sacral vertebra in hybrids did not significantly differ from that of the parental species. Such a pattern could be a result of selection pressure against transitional vertebrae and/or a bias towards the development of full vertebrae numbers. Although our data indicate relaxed selection for vertebral count changes in more elongated, aquatic species, more data on different selective pressures in species with different numbers of vertebrae in the two contrasting, terrestrial and aquatic environments are needed to test for causality.

Abstract:
The term “backbone” appears in many expressions used in modern day society. In any scenario, it has one central meaning: stability. Best defined as a foundation that is able to sustain multiple stressors without adversely affecting integrity, the commonly and appropriately termed backbone of humans is the spinal column. As the central focus of stability in our species, the spine is subject to a great degree of trauma and mechanical forces. A variety of methods have been developed throughout history in the treatment of spinal column injury. Initial treatment involved the use of simple traction devices for the reduction of spinal fractures; these have evolved to include the current insertion of spinal instrumentation. The authors review the historical treatment and development of posterior instrumentation for thoracic spinal injury.

Abstract:
A 2 yr old female English setter dog was admitted for acute dyspnea. The dog underwent treatment of a T9T10 thoracic vertebral fracture subluxation at the authors' institution 15 mo earlier. Upon admission, a chest X-ray revealed a pneumothorax and a metallic foreign body in the left hemithorax. An emergency video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery was successfully performed to remove a 4.6-mm long Kirschner wire that migrated from the thoracic vertebral column to the thoracic cavity. The operating time was 27 min. The dog made an uneventful recovery and was discharged on the third day after surgery. Pneumothorax should be considered in patients that develop acute dyspnea and have a history of wire fixation in the thoracic vertebral column. Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery is a safe and effective treatment of this condition.

Abstract:
Phenacodus vortmani and P. primaevus, members of the mammalian radiation (Tiffanian - Bridgerian) in western North America, were digitigrade five-toed ungulates who were good runners compared to their contemporaries. P. vortmani was smaller and more slender (presacral vertebral column = 463 mm) while P. primaevus was larger and more robust (presacral vertebral column = 814 mm).The presacral vertebral column in these phenacodontids consists of 7 cervical, 15 thoracic, and 6 lumbar vertebrae, with the sectional length proportions being very similar in P. vortmani and P. primaevus.Morphologies and relationships of the vertebral structure in the cervical section allow both dorsoventral and mediolateral movements in both animals. Structures in the cranial thoracic section allow some mediolateral movement but restrict dorsoventral motion, adding stability and allowing forward transfer of momentum generated in the hind limb and caudal vertebral column. Structures in the caudal thoracic and especially the lumbar sections allow greater dorsoventral movements which enabled both phenacodontids to increase stride length beyond that accomplished by the limbs alone. In the smaller P. primaevus. the orientation of the zygapophyses emphasizes dorsoventral movements and restricts mediolateral movements compared to that in P. vortmani. providing the larger animal with greater efficiency in the flexion and extension of the posterior vertebral column during running.

Abstract:
INTRODUÇÃO: Há poucos estudos bem estruturados sobre a eficácia do bloqueio anestésico do gânglio estrelado (BGE) e do bloqueio simpático torácico (BST) para o tratamento da síndrome complexa de dor regional (SCDR) do membro superior. Há evidências anatômicas e clínicas de que o BGE frequentemente não interrompe a atividade neurovegetativa simpática do membro superior. OBJETIVOS: Avaliar-se a eficácia do BST para tratar a SCDR do membro superior. CASUÍSTICA E MÉTODOS: De acordo com estudo controlado com amostra aleatória e duplamente encoberto, doentes com SCDR, com duração maior que seis meses, foram aleatoriamente submetidos ao método padronizado de tratamento (polifarmacoterapia e terapia física) associadamente aos procedimentos BST ou ao bloqueio controle. Foram comparados os aspectos demográficos, a apresentação clínica, a intensidade da dor, as alterações do humor, a qualidade de vida, a função do membro acometido e os eventos adversos dos procedimentos até um ano após sua realização. Foram utilizadas entrevistas estruturadas, o Inventário Breve de Dor (IBD), o Questionário de Dor McGill (QDM), o Questionário para Diagnóstico de Dor Neuropática (DN4), o Inventário de Sintomas de Dor Neuropática (NPSI), o questionário \"Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale\" (HAD), o questionário de qualidade de vida WHOQOL-bref, o questionário de avaliação funcional \"Disabilities of Arm, Shoulder and Hand\" e a análise de amplitude dos movimentos (ADM) como métodos de avaliação. RESULTADOS: Foram elegíveis 63 doentes, dos quais 42 foram incluídos, destes, 36 completaram o estudo. Em 17 realizou-se o BST e em 19 o bloqueio controle. Não houve diferenças estatísticas quanto às características demográficas e clínicas entre doentes tratados com BST ou do grupo controle. Houve melhora significativa da dor em relação ao IBD \"dor agora\" e \"atividade geral\"; soma dos pontos do QDM ; questões sete, nove e 11 do NPSI nos doentes tratados com BST em relação aos doentes do grupo controle em curto prazo (um e dois meses após o bloqueio). Em longo prazo, também observou-se que ocorreu melhora significativa nos doentes tratados com BST em relação aos do grupo controle de acordo com o IBD \"dor média\", soma dos pontos QDM e questões quatro, oito e dez do NPSI um ano após o procedimento. Um ano após o procedimento evidenciou-se melhora significativa da qualidade de vida, de acordo com questões quatro, 11, 19 e 21 do WHOQOL-bref nos doentes tratados com BST em relação aos do grupo controle. Nos doentes do grupo controle evidenciouse maior pontuação de depressão de acordo com a Escala HAD em relação aso doentes tratados com BST. Nos doentes tratados com BST a ocorrência de visão turva após o procedimento foi maior que nos doentes do grupo controle. Não houve diferença estatisticamente significativa quanto a evolução funcional em curto prazo entre os dois grupos. CONCLUSÕES: Ocorreu redução significativa da percepção da dor em curto prazo (um e dois meses) e em longo prazo (um ano) e melhora da qualidade de vida e menor ocorrência de transtorno do humor, um ano após o tratamento nos doentes tratados com BST. O BST é procedimento seguro e eficaz
INTRODUCTION: There are few well-structured studies evaluating the efficacy stellate ganglion block (SGB) or the thoracic sympathetic block (TSB) for treatment of the complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) of the upper limb. It is possible that a large proportion of SGBs does not interrupt the sympathetic activity of the upper limb. OBJECTIVES: Evaluation of the efficacy of the TSB in treatment of the CRPS of the upper limb. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients with CRPS I were randomly treated with polypharmacotherapy plus physical therapy and TBS or a control block. The epidemiological aspects, clinical presentation of the CRPS, severity of pain, mood abnormalities, quality of life, functionality of the affected limb, and adverse events of the interventions were evaluated. Structured interviews the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI), the McGill Pain Questionnaire (MPQ), the Neuropathic Pain Diagnostic Questionnaire (DN4), the Neuropathic Pain Symptoms Inventory (NPSI), the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HAD), the WHOQOL-BREF quality of life questionnaire, the Disabilities of Arm, Shoulder, and Hand Functional Assessment Questionnaire (DASH), and the range of movements (ROM) were the tools used for evaluation. RESULTS: Sixty-three patients were eligible, 42 were included, and 36 patients with CRPS I, lasting six months or longer completed the study. TSB 17 patients and 19 control block. There were no statistical differences in demographic or clinical characteristics between the patients of both groups. There was a significant improvement of pain according to the BPI items \"current pain\" and \"general activity\"; MPQ sum of points and NPSI questions four, seven, nine, 11 in patients treated with TSB relation to the control group shortterm (one and two months alter the block). One year after procedure according to the BPI \"average pain\", MPQ sum of points, NPSI questions four, eight and ten there was also significant pain improvement in the patients TSB treated . After one year patients treated with TSB had significant improvement of the quality of life, according to the WHOQOL-bref (items four, 11, 19, and 21), in relation to the control group, and patients of the control group had a higher depression score significant on the HAD scale in relation to those TSB treated. There was a greater incidence of blurred vision sensation, just after block, in the TSB patients. There was no statistical difference in short-term in relation to the upper limb function between the groups. CONCLUSIONS: TSB associated with drug and physical therapy treatment resulted in greater reduction of pain perception compared to control block, both in short-term (one and two months) and long-term (one year). After one year, TSB have improved quality of life and decreased the incidence of mood disorders relative to control group. TSB is a safe and effective procedure

The management of septic patients posts a professional challenge because of the reduction in systemic vascular resistance and the progressively diminished response to sympathomimetic pressor agents. The refractory hypotension remains a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in septic patients. Under physiological conditions, neurogenic vasomotor tone plays an important role in the maintenance of normal blood pressure. A better understanding of the regulatory machinery on neurogenic vasomotor tone during sepsis is therefore of vital importance. The integrity of rostral ventrolateral medulla (RVLM), bulbospinal tract, and intermediolateral cell column (IML) plays an important role in maintaining resting vasomotor tone. The vasomotor components of the systemic arterial pressure (SAP) spectrum reflect the activities of the sympathetic premotor neurons in RVLM, and the vasomotor signals are transmitted through activation of glutamate receptors on sympathetic preganglionic neurons (SPN) in IML. However, the relative contribution of the two major subtypes of glutamate receptors, NMDA and non-NMDA receptors, to the generation of neurogenic vasomotor tone under physiological conditions or during experimental endotoxemia is basically unknown. We addressed this issue by using a combination of physiological, pharmacological and double immunofluorescence approaches to delineate the relative contribution of NMDA and non-NMDA receptors on SPN to the generation of neurogenic vasomotor tone under physiological conditions and during experimental endotoxemia. For more accurate distribution of drugs over the specific IML region, a pre-implanted catheter in the thoracic subarachnoid space is mandatory. The currently available methods for catheterization of the thoracic spinal subarachnoid space in rats have been associated with relatively high postoperative mortality and morbidity. In our study, we developed a better method of catheterization. An intrathecal catheter was fabricated with a small silicon bead at one end of a PE-10 catheter, which was cannulated with a 4/0 suture that served as a guide. Using the L-shape hook of the suture guide as an anchorage, the catheter was advanced into the subarachnoid space until the silicon bead was lodged on a drilled hole (2 x 2 mm) over the lamina proper on the T13 vertebrae. The applicability of the implanted catheter was demonstrated by myelogram and pharmacological studies. Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats maintained under propofol anesthesia were used. Intrathecal administration of equimolar concentrations (75, 150 or 300 nmol) of a NMDA antagonist, dizocilpine (MK801) or a non-NMDA antagonist, 6-cyano-7-nitroquinoxaline-2,3-dione (CNQX) into T10-T12 spinal cord elicited a reduction in resting vasomotor tone that was comparable in time-course and in magnitude. At the same time, both glutamate receptor antagonists exacerbated mortality and potentiated the elicited hypotension, bradycardia or reduction in vasomotor tone during experimental endotoxemia induced by intravenous administration of Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide (30 mg/kg). Results comparable to CNQX at 150 nmol were obtained only when MK801 was given at 300 nmol. Confocal microscopy further showed that augmented immunoreactivity of NR1 subunit of the NMDA receptor on IML neurons coincided with the phase of endotoxemia when vasomotor tone was augmented; the immunoreactivity GluR1 subunit of the non-NMDA receptor remained stable throughout experimental endotoxemia. Correct localization and identification of SPN was crucial to the interpretation of our results. We thus have to be familiar with the location, morphology, and distribution of SPN in IML for accurate location of glutamate receptor expression on SPN. c-fos protein was induced in SPN through electrical stimulation to RVLM and visualized by immunohistochemical method. It was found that c-fos positive cells were not present in the spinal cord except within the IML region. We concluded that NMDA and non-NMDA receptors on IML neurons contribute equally to the generation of resting sympathetic vasomotor tone. However, upregulation of NMDA receptors on IML neurons plays a crucial role in the maintenance of vasomotor tone during endotoxemia.

Abstract:
Surgical approaches to correct spine pathology are based on anatomical considerations along with a surgeon’s experience and preference. Beyond consideration of the actual anatomic level being addressed, the different areas of the spinal column, cervical, thoracic, lumbar, and sacral coccygeal regions are in proximity of a range of structures that must be appreciated during surgery. These considerations impact the anesthetic management of the surgical patient. Historically, spine pathology was initially approached posteriorly, but, since the mid-twentieth century, the anterior approach has been more frequently used, especially at the cervical level. Advances in surgical techniques, coupled with advances in anesthesia and postoperative care, have allowed an increasing patient population to benefit from surgical interventions that address various forms of spinal pathology, including neurological dysfunction, deformity (either hereditary or acquired), structural instability, pathologic lesions (including tumor and infections), and pain.

Abstract:
Trauma to the thoracic and lumbar spine may be classified using the Magerl’s or Thoracolumbar Injury Classification and Severity Score (TLICS) classifications. Older thoracolumbar trauma classification systems include those of Holdsworth, which emphasizes the mechanism of injury; Whitesides, which defines the two-column concept being analogous to a construction crane; Punjabi and White, who developed stability scoring systems; and Denis with a mechanistic classification based on instability pertaining to three columns of the spine. Management may be conservative with analgesia and bracing or surgical with posterior, transthoracic, or circumferential spinal fusion. In this chapter the classification of these injuries and their management will be discussed. The techniques to insert pedicle screws and the role of minimally invasive techniques will be explained.

Abstract:
The objective of the present study is to determine to the three-dimensional segment-specific coupling factors from healthy, normal, non-degenerated human cervical spinal columns under bending. Using pure moment loading protocols, cadaver subaxial columns were fixed at the two ends, off-axis forces and moments were recorded using a distal six-axis load cell, and primary and secondary rotations were obtained as a function of applied moments, up to 2.0 Nm. Segmental bone mineral densities were determined using quantitated computed tomography (QCT). Coupling factors were the smallest at the cervico-thoracic spinal segment. Cranial and caudal decreases of the coupling factors occurred from the mid-cervical segment at all applied moment levels, from 65 to 72% at the C4-C5 segment and 59 to 75% at the C5-C6 segment. On average, 55% of the primary rotation was coupled with the secondary rotation across the entire column. Peak coupling occurring in these segments may indicate a greater propensity for age-related changes to these vertebral levels, and offer support to the commonly observed lower cervical degeneration in clinical studies.

Abstract:
Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) disease, defined as a pathological dilation of the vessel wall, is responsible for 15,000 deaths per year in the United States. Human AAA are often asymmetric, typically expanding anteriorly as the posterior region is supported by the vertebral column [1]. Other work has shown that healthy thoracic aortic motion is also asymmetric in pigs and humans [2]. Two commonly used murine models induce AAA growth with either the infusion of angiotensin II (angII) [3] or intra-arterial perfusion of porcine pancreatic elastase (PPE) into the aortic lumen [4]. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between vessel motion, circumferential cyclic strain, and aneurysm growth in two different murine models of AAA disease using small animal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Abstract:
A 50th percentile Human Surrogate Torso Model (HSTM50) was constructed using biosimulant materials to represent the thoracic skeletal structure, internal organs, and soft tissues. The model was instrumented with pressure sensors embedded in each organ, accelerometers rigidly mounted to the sternum, and a load cell aligned with the vertebral column. The HSTM was exposed to a series of open-field blast tests. Sensor data clearly conveyed an initial rise in organ pressure due to the arrival of the incident shock wave followed by a delayed secondary peak of lesser magnitude due to the arrival of the ground-reflected incident shock wave. For repeat test conditions, the HSTM provided sensor response deviation within the inherent variability of field pressure data recorded for various tests of equal weight charges. This test series demonstrated the HSTM50 sensitivity to blast threat conditions including variations in charge weight and type. The HSTM50 proved to be a repeatable, durable, non-homogeneous test device complete with skeletal structure and soft tissue. The system allowed for the dynamic measurement of internal pressures, acceleration, and spinal load as a result of various blast conditions.

Abstract:
Abstract Finite element-based crashworthiness optimization is nowadays extensively used to improve the safety of vehicles. However, the responses of a crash simulation are notoriously noisy. In addition, the actual or simulated responses during a crash can be highly sensitive to uncertainties. These uncertainties appear in various forms such as uncontrollable random parameters (e.g., impact conditions). To address these challenges, an optimization algorithm based on a Stochastic Kriging (SK) and an Augmented Expected Improvement (AEI) infill criterion is proposed. A SK enables the approximation of a response while accounting for the noise-induced aleatory variance. In addition, SK has the advantage of reducing the dimensionality of the problem by implicitly accounting for the influence of random parameters and their contribution to the overall aleatory variance. In the proposed algorithm, the aleatory variance is initially estimated through direct sampling and subsequently approximated by a regression kriging. This aleatory variance approximation, which is refined adaptively, is used for the computation of the infill criterion and probabilistic constraints. The algorithm is implemented on a crashworthiness optimization problem that involves a sled and dummy models subjected to an acceleration pulse. The sled model includes components of a vehicle occupant restraint system such as an airbag, seatbelt, and steering column. In all problems considered, the objective function is the probability of traumatic brain injury, which is computed through the Brain Injury Criterion (BrIC) and a logistic injury risk model. In some cases, probabilistic constraints corresponding to other types of bodily injuries such as thoracic injury are added to the optimization problem. The design variables correspond to the properties of the occupant restraint system (e.g., loading curve that dictates the airbag vent area versus pressure). In addition to the inherent simulation noise, uncertainties in the loading conditions are introduced in the form of a random scaling factor of the acceleration pulse.
