متن کاملDegeneration of the intervertebral disc
The intervertebral disc is a cartilaginous structure that resembles articular cartilage in its biochemistry, but morphologically it is clearly different. It shows degenerative and ageing changes earlier than does any other connective tissue in the body. It is believed to be important clinically because there is an association of disc degeneration with back pain. Current treatments are predomina...
متن کاملEffect of in utero exposure to diethylstilbestrol on lumbar and femoral bone, articular cartilage, and the intervertebral disc in male and female adult mice progeny with and without swimming exercise
INTRODUCTION Developmental exposure to estrogens has been shown to affect the musculoskeletal system. Furthermore, recent studies have shown that environmental exposure to estrogen-like compounds is much higher than originally anticipated. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of diethylstilbestrol (DES), a well-known estrogen agonist, on articular cartilage, intervertebral disc (I...
متن کاملEvaluation of a 3-d Alginate Scaffold for Intervertebral Disc Annulus Fibrosus Cellstissue Engineering
INTRODUCTION Degeneration of the intervertebral discs cause discogenic low back pain and limited mobility. Current surgical treatments include spine fusion, which eliminates pain but does not restore disc function, or implantation of synthetic disc prostheses. However, these materials face challenges in fixation, mechanical strength and loosing of the implant [1]. Tissue engineering strategies ...
متن کاملAssociation of Rs1676486 genetic polymorphism and lumbar disc degeneration in Iranian population
Background: lumbar disc degeneration is a multifactorial degenerative disease which is affected by genetic inheritance and environmental factors. Type XI collagen is important for organization of the extracellular matrix and cartilage collagen construction. Rs1676486 is a SNP that causes the conversion of C-T, resulting in a change in the expression of the collagen 11 alpha chain. The T allele ...
