Study Design: Cross-sectional study of healthy volunteers. Purpose: We aimed to investigate the variation in the lumbar facet joint orientation in an adult Asian population. The relationship between the facet joint orientation and muscle cross-sectional area (CSA) of multifidus and erector spinae was also clarified. Overview of Literature: Several studies have reported that lumbar pathologies, such as lumbar spondylolysis and degenerative spondylolisthesis, were related to the horizontally shaped lumbar facet joint orientation at the lower lumbar level. However, data regarding variations in the facet joint orientation in asymptomatic subjects have not been well documented. Methods: In 31 healthy male adult Asian volunteers, the facet joint orientation and CSA of multifidus and erector spinae were measured using magnetic resonance imaging at the L4–5 and L5–S1 levels. Variation in the facet joint orientation was examined using coefficients of variation (CV). Pearson’s product-moment coefficient was used to investigate the relationship between the facet joint orientation and CSA of multifidus and erector spinae. Results: Lumbar facet joint orientation had a wider range of variation at L5–S1 (CV=0.30) than at L4–5 (CV=0.18). The L4–5 facet joint orientation had a weak but significant correlation with the CSA of erector spinae (r =0.40; p=0.031). The CSA of the multifidus had no relationship with the facet joint orientation at the L4–5 (r =0.19; p =0.314) and the L5–S1 level (r =0.19; p =0.312). Conclusions: The lumbar facet joint orientation was found to have a wide variation, particularly at the L5–S1 in the Asian adult population, and the facet joint orientation had a relationship with the CSA of the erector spinae at the L4–5.

Study Design: Retrospective study. Purpose: This study aimed to investigate whether segmental lumbar hyperlordosis of the affected vertebra in patients with spondylolysis occurs only at L5 or also occurs at L4. Overview of Literature: To the best of our knowledge, increase in segmental lordosis of the spondylolytic vertebrae has only been investigated in bilateral L5 spondylolysis; it has not been examined at different levels of bilateral spondylolysis. According to the characteristics of segmental lordosis in bilateral L5 spondylolysis, patients with bilateral L4 spondylolysis may also have increased segmental lordosis of the L4 vertebra. Methods: Patients with bilateral spondylolysis of the L5 or L4 vertebra in 2013–2015 were retrospectively identified from the hospital database. Standing lateral lumbar radiographs were assessed for the angle of segmental lordosis of the L5 and L4 vertebra, sacral slope, and lumbar lordosis. The differences in segmental lordosis of the L5 and L4 vertebra, sacral slope, and lumbar lordosis were determined using non-paired Student t -test. Results: Overall, 15 cases of bilateral L4 spondylolysis and 41 cases of bilateral L5 spondylolysis satisfied the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Lordosis of the L4 vertebra was significantly greater in the bilateral L4 spondylolysis group (24.2°±7.0°) than that in the L5 spondylolysis group (20.3°±6.1°, p =0.047). Lordosis of the L5 vertebra was significantly lower in the L4 spondylolysis group (27.7°±8.2°) than that in the L5 spondylolysis group (32.5°±7.3°, p =0.040). The sacral slope and lumbar lordosis did not significantly differ between the groups. Conclusions: Adolescent patients with bilateral spondylolysis have segmental hyperlordosis of the affected vertebra not only at the L5 level but also at the L4 level.

Rhinoviral infection is associated with anincreased risk of asthma attacks. The macrolide clarithromycindecreases cytokine production in nasopharyngealaspirates from patients with wheezing, but the effectsof macrolides on cytokine production in nasal epithelialcells obtained from asthmatic subjects remain unclear. Here, human nasal epithelial cells were infected with type-14 rhinovirus (RV14), a major RV group. Titers and RNAof RV14 and cytokine concentrations, including IL-1b andIL-6, were higher in the supernatants of the cells obtainedfrom subjects with bronchial asthma (asthmatic group) thanin those from the non-asthmatic group. Pretreatment withclarithromycin decreased RV14 titers, viral RNA andcytokine concentrations, and susceptibility to RV14infection. Pretreatment with clarithromycin also decreasedIL-33 production, which was detected after infection. Pretreatment with clarithromycin decreased the expressionof intercellular adhesion molecule-1, the receptor forRV14, after infection, the number and fluorescence intensityof the acidic endosomes through which RV RNAenters the cytoplasm, and the activation of nuclear factorkappa-B proteins in nuclear extracts. These findings suggestedthat RV replication and cytokine production may beenhanced in nasal epithelial cells obtained from subjectswith bronchial asthma and may be modulated byclarithromycin.
