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 کاملDegeneration of the intervertebral disc
The intervertebral disc is a cartilaginous structure that resembles articular cartilage in its biochemistry, but morphologically it is clearly different. It shows degenerative and ageing changes earlier than does any other connective tissue in the body. It is believed to be important clinically because there is an association of disc degeneration with back pain. Current treatments are predomina...
متن کاملEffects of bone cement on intervertebral disc degeneration
Percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) is popular for the treatment of intractable pain due to vertebral collapse from various lesions, intervertebral disk leakage of cement is a frequent complication. The aim of this study was to determine whether bone cement causes disc degeneration, and to evaluate the degree of intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) according to the time period following cement ...
متن کاملProtective Effects of Cannabidiol on Lesion-Induced Intervertebral Disc Degeneration
Disc degeneration is a multifactorial process that involves hypoxia, inflammation, neoinnervation, accelerated catabolism, and reduction in water and glycosaminoglycan content. Cannabidiol is the main non-psychotropic component of the Cannabis sativa with protective and anti-inflammatory properties. However, possible therapeutic effects of cannabidiol on intervertebral disc degeneration have no...
متن کاملIntervertebral Disc Dynamics and Degeneration
Degenerative disc disease is a serious health problem worldwide, whose etiological basis – mechanical stimulus, biochemical changes, or natural aging – is poorly understood. While the disc’s known function is that of dynamic shock absorber, its dynamic response has not been fully characterized throughout the disc health spectrum (from healthy to degenerate). Therefore, this study aimed to corre...
