Matrix-assisted cell transfer for intervertebral disc cell therapy.
Cell therapy seems to be a promising way to reconstitute degenerated discs. We elucidate the basic aspects of intervertebral disc (IVD) cell therapy to estimate its potential in disc regeneration. Cell transfer efficiency and survival was quantified by luciferase expression after injection of recombinant cells into healthy, nucleotomized or mechanically degenerated rabbit IVDs in vitro, in situ...
متن کاملDifferences in calcification and osteogenic potential of herniated discs according to the severity of degeneration based on Pfirrmann grade: a cross-sectional study
BACKGROUND Herniated discs may exhibit calcification, and calcified discs may complicate surgical treatment. However, the osteogenic potential and expression of osteogenic markers in degenerative discs of different degenerative grades are still unclear. Our purposes are to study the differences in calcification rate and osteogenic potential of herniated discs according to different degenerative...
متن کاملInfluence of mononuclear cell therapy on disc degeneration in rabbits☆
OBJECTIVE The objective of this research was to evaluate the influence of autologous mononuclear stem cells injections on histological changes of collagen in the fibrous annulus of the intervertebral disk after experimental injury. METHODS 32 New Zealand rabbits were submitted to intervertebral disk puncture, followed by intradiscal injection of mononuclear cells from the iliac crest versus s...
متن کاملRelationships between viscoelastic properties of lumbar intervertebral disc and degeneration grade assessed by MRI.
Biomechanical modelling of the spine is of high clinical significance, either for implant evaluation or for surgery planning. Nevertheless, assessment of patient specific material properties still remains an issue, especially the viscoelastic characteristics of lumbar intervertebral discs (IVD). MRI, a dedicated system for IVD examination, provides a signal that is correlated with the biochemic...
متن کاملFluoroscopic-guided intradiscal oxygen-ozone injection therapy for thoracolumbar intervertebral disc herniations in dogs.
BACKGROUND To investigate the effect of oxygen-ozone (O2-O3) injection on thoracolumbar intervertebral disc herniation (IVDH) in dogs. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ten herniated discs of five dogs were treated with percutaneous injection of an O2-O3 gas mixture with O3 concentration of 32 microg/microl intradiscally (1.5-2 microl) under fluoroscopy guidance. RESULTS Five weeks after treatment, the...
