In Vivo Measurements Reveal Increased Nucleus Pulposus Lactate and Oxygen Concentrations in a Goat Model of Intervertebral Disc Degeneration. [PDF]
Although precise pathophysiological mechanisms remain elusive, perturbations in nutrition that adversely impact the cellular microenvironment of the central nucleus pulposus (NP) are considered key contributors to disc degeneration. In this study, we adapted brain tissue oxygen probes and microdialysis catheters for in situ determination of NP tissue ...

Analysis of Nicotine Toxicity and Mechanisms of Senescence in Nucleus Pulposus Cells Using Network Toxicology and Molecular Docking Technique. [PDF]
The current study improves cyber toxicology as a method of evaluating environmental toxicity and molecular biological qualities in addition to clarifying the possible molecular pathways of nicotine‐induced senescence in IVDD. ABSTRACT Aim Through the use of network toxicology, the research sought to determine whether cellular senescence and associated ...

Cell sources for nucleus pulposus regeneration [PDF]
There is increasing interest in the development of cell therapy as a possible approach for the treatment of degenerative disc disease. To regenerate nucleus pulposus tissue, the cells must produce an appropriate proteoglycan-rich matrix, as this is essential for the functioning of the intervertebral disc. The natural environment within the disc is very

Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) is characterized by the decrease of nucleus pulposus cells (NPCs). With the increase of the degree of degeneration, the reactive oxygen species (ROS) in nucleus pulposus tissue increases.

TNFα Receptor 1 and Not Receptor 2 Affect Annulus Fibrosus and Nucleus Pulposus Response to Cytokine Challenge in a Rat Model. [PDF]
TNFα receptor‐specific signaling is important in rat IVDD in vivo and in vitro. TNFR1 inhibition was more effective with small molecules than with blocking antibodies. Low levels of TNFR2 in rat AF and NP cells, and the lack of efficacy of TNFR2‐activator Atsttrin, suggest that native AF and NP cells have little capacity for TNFR2‐dependent IVD repair.

Clinical reasoning in canine spinal disease: what combination of clinical information is useful? [PDF]
Spinal disease in dogs is commonly encountered in veterinary practice. Numerous diseases may cause similar clinical signs and presenting histories. The study objective was to use statistical models to identify combinations of discrete parameters from the

Model for compound nucleus formation in various heavy-ion systems [PDF]
The statistical model for the calculation of the compound nucleus formation cross section and the probability of compound nucleus formation in heavy-ion collisions is discussed in detail. The light, heavy, and super-heavy nucleus-nucleus systems are considered in this model in the framework of one approach.
