Effect of sIL-13Rα2-Fc on the progression of rat tail intervertebral disc degeneration

Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research, 2019
Background The incidence of degenerative disc disease caused by intervertebral disc injury is increasing annually, seriously affecting the quality of life of patients and increasing the disease burden on society.

Protective role of the alpha-1-antitrypsin in intervertebral disc degeneration

Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research, 2021
Background Intervertebral disc degeneration is a complex disease with high prevalence. It suggests that cell death, senescence, and extracellular matrix degradation are involved in the pathogenesis. Alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT), a serine protease inhibitor,

MiR-532 downregulation of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling via targeting Bcl-9 and induced human intervertebral disc nucleus pulposus cells apoptosis

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2018
Objective: Intervertebral disc degeneration was characterized with aberrant intervertebral disc nucleus pulposus cells apoptosis. MiR-532 was reported to be up-regulated in the patients with intervertebral disc degeneration.

Overexpression of microRNA-185 alleviates intervertebral disc degeneration through inactivation of the Wnt/-catenin signaling pathway and downregulation of Galectin-3

Molecular Pain, 2020
Background Recent studies have found that microRNAs (miRNAs) play a critical role in development and progression of intervertebral disc degeneration. In the present study, we examined the role of miR-185 in nucleus pulposus cell behavior in vitro and the

Inflammaging in the intervertebral disc [PDF]

Clinical and Translational Neuroscience, 2018
Degeneration of the intervertebral disc – triggered by ageing, mechanical stress, traumatic injury, infection, inflammation and other factors – has a significant role in the development of low back pain. Back pain not only has a high prevalence, but also a major socio-economic impact. With the ageing population, its occurrence and costs are expected to

Identification of Key Modules and Hub Genes of Annulus Fibrosus in Intervertebral Disc Degeneration

Frontiers in Genetics, 2021
Background: Intervertebral disc degeneration impairs the quality of patients lives. Even though there has been development of many therapeutic strategies, most of them remain unsatisfactory due to the limited understanding of the mechanisms that underlie

Nutrition of the Intervertebral Disc

Spine, 2004
A review of the literature on disc nutrition.To summarize the information on disc nutrition in relation to disc degeneration.The disc is avascular, and the disc cells depend on diffusion from blood vessels at the disc's margins to supply the nutrients essential for cellular activity and viability and to remove metabolic wastes such as lactic acid.

Evaluation of the influence of kyphosis and scoliosis on intervertebral disc extrusion in French bulldogs

BMC Veterinary Research, 2018
Background Although thoracic vertebral malformations with kyphosis and scoliosis are often considered incidental findings on diagnostic imaging studies of screw-tailed brachycephalic breeds, they have been suggested to interfere with spinal biomechanics ...

Risk factors for postoperative complications after UBE surgery for thoracic spinal stenosis and construction of a nomogram predictive model

Frontiers in Neurology
BackgroundThis study aimed to develop and validate the first nomogram model for predicting postoperative complications in thoracic spinal stenosis (TSS) patients undergoing unilateral biportal endoscopy (UBE), integrating multidimensional risk factors to
