Evaluation of magnetic resonance imaging guidelines for differentiation between thoracolumbar intervertebral disk extrusions and intervertebral disk protrusions in dogs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Four MRI variables have recently been suggested to be independently associated with a diagnosis of thoracolumbar intervertebral disk extrusion or protrusion.

Cell therapy for the degenerating intervertebral disc [PDF]

open access: yesTranslational Research, 2017
Spinal conditions related to intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration cost billions of dollars in the US annually. Despite the prevalence and soaring cost, there is no specific treatment that restores the physiological function of the diseased IVD. Thus, it is vital to develop new treatment strategies to repair the degenerating IVD.

Manipulation of Oxygen Tension in Damaged Regions via Hypoxia‐Induced IPN Hydrogel Microspheres for Intervertebral Disc Regeneration

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A novel interpenetrating network hydrogel microsphere (NSC‐Exos@HIMS) is developed to manipulate oxygen tension in damaged regions and recruit endogenous stem cells. In vitro and in vivo results show that NSC‐Exos@HIMS maintains the hypoxia microenvironment for up to 5 days, which triggers nucleus pulposus cell‐like differentiation and enhanced ECM ...

Dynamic Spine Hyperflexion Is Related to Vertebral Compression Fractures in Postmenopausal Women

open access: yesOrthopaedic Surgery, Volume 15, Issue 1, Page 111-117, January 2023., 2023
A neutral spine posture is relatively static and persistent (A). A dynamic and transient hyperflexion posture (B) under compression shows the stress process of most low‐energy vertebral fractures. The TLHCobb is the key indicator for this process. Objective Previous studies on osteoporotic vertebral fractures are usually based on the neutral posture of

Finite Element Analysis of Stress Distribution and Range of Motion in Discogenic Back Pain [PDF]

open access: yesNeurospine
Objective Precise knowledge regarding the mechanical stress applied to the intervertebral disc following each individual spine motion enables physicians and patients to understand how people with discogenic back pain should be guided in their exercises ...

Current evidence for a modulation of low back pain by human genetic variants [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The manifestation of chronic back pain depends on structural, psychosocial, occupational and genetic influences. Heritability estimates for back pain range from 30% to 45%. Genetic influences are caused by genes affecting intervertebral disc degeneration

Synergistic Modulating of Mitochondrial Transfer and Immune Microenvironment to Attenuate Discogenic Pain

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Gallic acid (GA) and copper ions self‐assemble to form nanoparticles, which are then modified with mitochondrial targeting peptides and gap junction modulator. These nanoparticles scavenge mitochondrial reactive oxygen species to induce M2 polarization and enhance intercellular mitochondrial transfer.

Oblique Lateral Endoscopic Decompression and Interbody Fusion for Severe Lumbar Spinal Stenosis: Technical Note and Preliminary Results

open access: yesOrthopaedic Surgery, Volume 14, Issue 12, Page 3400-3407, December 2022., 2022
Positions of the intervertebral retractor and the endoscopic working cannula were confirmed by intraoperative anteroposterior and lateral fluoroscopy. Objective Adequacy of decompression for oblique lateral interbody fusion (OLIF) is a real concern in patients with severe lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS).

Multi-Scale Context-Guided Lumbar Spine Disease Identification with Coarse-to-fine Localization and Classification [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2022
Accurate and efficient lumbar spine disease identification is crucial for clinical diagnosis. However, existing deep learning models with millions of parameters often fail to learn with only hundreds or dozens of medical images. These models also ignore the contextual relationship between adjacent objects, such as between vertebras and intervertebral ...

Integrated transcriptome and proteome analyses identify novel regulatory network of nucleus pulposus cells in intervertebral disc degeneration

open access: yesBMC Medical Genomics, 2021
Background Degeneration of intervertebral disc is a major cause of lower back pain and neck pain. Studies have tried to unveil the regulatory network using either transcriptomic or proteomic analysis.
