Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the relationship between lumbar disc herniation and vertebral bone mineral density(BMD)of quantitative analysis of computed tomography(CT).Methods:Eighty patients with lumbar disc herniation who admitted to Beijing Tongzhou District Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine from May 2022 to June 2024 were included in the case group,and 30 healthy volunteers who underwent physical examination in hospital were included in the healthy control group during the same period.The vertebral BMD of all subjects was quantitatively analyzed by CT.The data,lumbar BMD value,lumbar bone mass loss and osteoporosis distribution of the two groups were compared at baseline.Results:There were no significant differences in gender,age,body mass index(BMI)and abdominal circumference of baseline data between the case group and the healthy control group(P>0.05).The BMD value of the fourth lumbar vertebra(L4)in the case group was lower than that in the healthy control group,and the difference was statistically significant(t=1.991,P<0.05).There were no significant differences in BMD value and mean BMD(Lmean BMD)of the fifth lumbar vertebra(L5)between the case group and the healthy control group(P>0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in the lumbar BMD value of healthy control group between different genders(P>0.05),and there was significant difference in Lmean BMD between different genders in the case group(t=2.063,P<0.05),while there were no statistically significant difference in the L4 BMD and L5 BMD of the case group between different genders(P>0.05).The difference of Lmean BMD values of the persons with same gender(male,female)between the case group and the healthy control group were statistically significant(t=2.570,3.300,P<0.05).The ratio of normal lumbar bone mass in the case group was 48.75%,which was lower than that in the healthy control group(70.00%),and the difference was statistically significant(x2=3.974,P<0.05).The ratio of osteoporosis in the case group was 18.75%,which was higher than that in the healthy control group(3.33%),and the difference of that between two groups was significant(x2=4.172,P<0.05).There was no significant difference in the ratio of bone mass loss between the two groups(P>0.05).Conclusion:CT quantitative analysis shows that the vertebral BMD value of the patients with lumbar disc herniation is significantly lower than that of persons of the healthy control group,which indicates that the decrease of BMD value might be related to the occurrence of lumbar disc herniation.
