An immunohistochemical study of mechanoreceptors in lumbar spine intervertebral discs.
There are limited data concerning mechanoreceptors in normal human lumbar intervertebral discs. The aim of our study was to determine the types of mechanoreceptors in the two lower intervertebral discs in normal adult cadaveric donors and to review the literature. Twenty-five lumbar (L4-5 and L5-S1) intervertebral discs were retrieved from 15 fresh cadavers. We utilized immunoreactivity against...
متن کاملIn vivo measurements of nutrient transport into herniated intervertebral discs
INTRODUCTION: A loss of nutrient supply has long been thought to be a major factor leading to disc degeneration and recent in vivo measurements have supported this hypothesis. Solute transport from the blood vessels through the endplate into the disc, measured by following gadolinium [1] or nitrous oxide [2] transport, has found that effective endplate permeability falls significantly in degene...
متن کاملAquaporin-1 Expression in Herniated Human Lumbar Intervertebral Discs
STUDY DESIGN Case series. OBJECTIVE Intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration is the cause of spondylosis. The pathogenesis is poorly understood, but disc dehydration often plays a role. In this study, we aim to identify and quantify aquaporin-1 (AQP1) in ex vivo human degenerated IVDs obtained intraoperatively and to investigate the relationship between AQP1 levels and magnetic resonance imagin...
متن کاملClinical study The spontaneous resorption of herniated cervical discs
The spontaneous resolution of herniated cervical discs has not been previously well documented. The authors analysed four cases who underwent spontaneous resolution of herniated cervical discs, and all other cases reported in the literature. A complex physiopathologic mechanism that includes the release of basic fibroblast grow factors, endothelial cell proliferation, chemotaxis of inflammatory...
متن کاملMeasuring Dimensions of Lumbar Intervertebral Discs in Normal Subjects
Introduction: Disc degeneration is a natural aging process characterized by changes in appearance and chemical structure of the disc. This degeneration leads to back pain. In regard to the limitation of current therapeutical methods for patients with degenerated discs, arthroplasty has been suggested as an alternative method. To manufacture artificial discs for Iranians, determining normal lumb...
