Moderately Degenerated Human Intervertebral Disks Exhibit a Less Geometrically Specific Collagen Fiber Orientation Distribution
STUDY DESIGN Collagen fiber orientation analysis in moderately degenerated human cadaveric annulus fibrosus (AF) tissue samples. OBJECTIVE Little is known about the changes in tissue architecture during early degeneration of intervertebral disks (IVDs). As collagen organization strongly affects the disk function, the objective of this study was to quantify the AF collagen orientation and its ...
متن کاملPreferred collagen fiber orientation in the human mid-shaft femur.
Collagen fiber orientation is one aspect of the microstructure of bone that influences its mechanical properties. While the spatial distribution of preferentially oriented collagen is hypothesized to reflect the effects of loading during the process of aging, its variability in a modern human sample is essentially unknown. In a large sample (n = 67) of autopsied adults, the variability of colla...
متن کاملDegenerated human intervertebral discs contain autoantibodies against extracellular matrix proteins.
Degeneration of intervertebral discs (IVDs) is associated with back pain and elevated levels of inflammatory cells. It has been hypothesised that discogenic pain is a direct result of vascular and neural ingrowth along annulus fissures, which may expose the avascular nucleus pulposus (NP) to the systemic circulation and induce an autoimmune reaction. In this study, we confirmed our previous obs...
متن کاملDegenerated annulus fibrosus of the intervertebral disc contains collagen type II.
Collagen has been isolated and purified from the pronase digest of the outer annulus fibrosus of degenerated and unaffected intervertebral discs obtained at necropsy. The mixture of different collagen types has been purified and fractionated by 2 subsequent DEAE-cellulose chromatographic procedures according to established methods. Collagen chain polymers were then isolated by molecular sieving...
متن کاملgeometrically thin disks in AGN
We suggest that magnetic fields in the accretion disks of AGN reach into the coronae above and have a profound effect on the mass flow rate in the corona. This strongly affects the location where the accretion flow changes from a geometrically thin disk to a pure vertically extended coronal or advection-dominated accretion flow (ADAF). We show that this can explain the different disk truncation...
