Effect of AGEs on human disc herniation: intervertebral disc hernia is also effected by AGEs.
Currently, extracellular matrix MMP has been discussed in relation to the extrusion and spontaneous regression of the herniated mass observed in lumbar disc herniation. However, the question remains as to whether degenerated protein is really the cause of this condition's pathogenesis. We confirmed immunologically by means of electron microscopy that extrusion is caused by the AGEs (advanced gl...
متن کاملIntervertebral disc herniation in adolescents.
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to review surgery-proven lumbar disc herniation in adolescents with an emphasis on the distinguishing features. METHODS Twenty-eight adolescents between 14 and 18 years old had lumbar discectomy after conservative treatment for 9 months. Indications for surgery were intractable pain and failure of conservative treatment for more than 6 weeks. Lumbar sp...
متن کاملIntervertebral Disc Herniation: Pathophysiology and Emerging Therapies
Approximately 2.6 % of the US population visits a physician for treatment of spinal disorders annually (Fraser 2009 ) with costs of $7.1 billion from lost work days alone (Ricci et al. 2006 ) . “Herniation” of the intervertebral disc is one of the several spinal disorders that contribute to this very high incidence, with potential to cause signi fi cant pain, neurological de fi cit, and functio...
متن کاملEffects 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 کاملImmunohistological study of intervertebral disc herniation of lumbar spine.
In order to observe histological changes in the extruded and sequestrated intervertebral disc, we conducted pathological and immunological examinations of herniated disc materials taken at the time of discectomy. There were 49 disc materials (from 38 men and 10 women [aged 19 to 78 years; average, 36.6 years]). The herniation was classified into four types, based on the intraoperative observati...
