The molecular basis of intervertebral disk degeneration.
At present, the molecular evidence involved in the degeneration of the IVD is still in its primitive stage. In general, however, intrinsic, extrinsic, and generic factors all have shown a contribution to the initiation of degeneration. These factors may stimulate cytokines and directly or indirectly generate the cellular events thus far detected and observed. Such changes discussed have been th...
متن کاملLumbar Intervertebral Disk Degeneration and Patient Age
N.L. Marinelli V.M. Haughton P.A. Anderson BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: T2 relaxation times provide a continuous measure of changes in intervertebral disk biochemistry. The purpose of this study was to correlate T2 relaxation times in lumbar disks with patient age and stage of degeneration. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Sagittal T1and T2-weighted images and axial images were acquired in 20 patients referre...
متن کاملGene therapy for intervertebral disk degeneration.
Intervertebral disk degeneration is a common and potentially debilitating disease process affecting millions of Americans and other populations each year. Current treatments address resultant symptoms and not the underlying pathophysiology of disease. This has spawned the development of biologic treatments, such as gene therapy, which attempt to correct the imbalance between catabolism and anab...
متن کاملAntioxidative nanofullerol prevents intervertebral disk degeneration
Compelling evidence suggests that reactive oxygen species (ROS) play a pivotal role in disk degeneration. Fullerol nanoparticles prepared in aqueous solution have been demonstrated to have outstanding ability to scavenge ROS. In this report, in vitro and in vivo models were used to study the efficacy of fullerol in preventing disk degeneration. For in vitro experiments, a pro-oxidant H2O2 or an...
متن کاملTissue engineering for intervertebral disk degeneration.
Many challenges confront intervertebral disk engineering owing to complexity and the presence of extraordinary stresses. Rebuilding a disk of native function could be useful for removal of the symptoms and correction of altered spine kinematics. Improvement in understanding of disk properties and techniques for disk engineering brings promise to the fabrication of a functional motion segment fo...
