Effects of Morphine Dependency on Intervertebral Disc in the Rat
Background: A large proportion of patients presenting with lumbar disc disease are opium addicts in our region. It was, therefore, hypothesized that morphine might affect the intervertebral disc. We investigated the histological findings of morphine dependency on intervertebral discs in rat. Methods: Forty NMRI adult male rats (230-250 g) placed on ordinary diet and received aqueous solution of...
متن کاملThe proteoglycans of the human intervertebral disc.
The methods of Hascall & Sajdera (1969) were used to compare the proteoglycans of human intervertebral disc with those of bovine nasal cartilage. In contrast with cartilage, most of the hexuronate of disc could be extracted at low shear with water or dilute salt solutions. Extracts of disc with 4M-guanidinium chloride were centrifugated in 0.4M-guanidinium chloride in a CsCl gradient. Analytica...
متن کاملCaveolin-1 Expression in Human Intervertebral Disc
Introduction: Low back pain is a condition that affects 11 million people in the UK alone and is a huge economic burden. Many cases can be attributed to degeneration of the intervertebral disc (IVD), an age-related process that involves structural, mechanical, cellular and molecular changes in the disc. Importantly, changes in cellular activity such as decreased proteoglycan production and incr...
متن کاملMultiple microcrystal deposition within a family.
A family is described in which four members in three generations showed evidence of crystal deposition disease: two developed calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate (CPPD) crystal deposition, one calcific periarthritis, and one mixed crystal deposition disease (gout + chondrocalcinosis). This previously undescribed observation supports a possible role for nonspecific heritable connective tissue factor...
متن کاملThe Prolapsed Intervertebral Disc
Neurology lays many claims to being one of the more precise and scientific branches of medicine but, nevertheless, there have been several neurological conditions almost mediaeval in their conceptions. One of these is a group included under the general heading of the neuritides-namely, sciatic and brachial neuritis and neuralgia. There is now a large body of evidence to show that the humoral, a...
