The Study of Chiropractic Care on Improving the Posture of Senior Citizens

The average life expectancy in Japan has increased. Senior citizens with excessive curvature in the thoracic spine (kyphosis) and forward head posture have decreased their ability to maintain their balance and this can be one of the causes of falling down by accidents. In many cases, postures and health conditions including quality of life of senior citizens have remarkably improved through daily chiropractic treatment. Chiropractic care can be a good model to show how preventive medicine can benefit senior citizens. This study will show the postures of elderly people of 60 years or more improved with chiropractic treatments and care. Measurements of head tilt and knee tilt on lateral views were documented for comparisons. The results showed an overall increase in height of a patient due to a decrease of head and knee tilt.

Benzalkonium chloride (BAC) intoxication causes fatal lung injuries, such as acute lung injury (ALI) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). However, the pathogenesis of ALI/ARDS induced by BAC ingestion is poorly understood. This study aimed to clarify the mechanism of lung toxicity after BAC ingestion in a mouse model. BAC was orally administered to C57BL/6 mice at doses of 100, 250, and 1250 mg/kg. After administration, BAC concentrations in the blood and lungs were evaluated via liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry. Lung tissue injury was evaluated via histological and protein analyses. Blood and lung BAC concentration levels after oral administration increased in a dose-dependent manner, with the concentrations directly proportional to the dose administered. The severity of lung injury worsened over time after the oral administration of 1250 mg/kg BAC. An increase in the terminal transferase dUTP nick end labeling-positive cells and cleaved caspase-3 levels was observed in the lungs after 1250 mg/kg BAC administration. In addition, increased cleaved caspase-9 levels and mitochondrial cytochrome c release into the cytosol were observed. These results suggest that lung tissue injury with excessive apoptosis contributes to BAC-induced ALI development and exacerbation. Our findings provide useful information for developing an effective treatment for ALI/ARDS induced by BAC ingestion.
