Effect of Hydration on Healthy Intervertebral Disk Mechanical Stiffness.
The intervertebral disk has an excellent swelling capacity to absorb water, which is thought to be largely due to the high proteoglycan composition. Injury, aging, degeneration, and diurnal loading are all noted by a significant decrease in water content and tissue hydration. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of hydration, through osmotic loading, on tissue swelling and com...
متن کاملElastic, permeability and swelling properties of human intervertebral disc tissues: A benchmark for tissue engineering.
The aim of functional tissue engineering is to repair and replace tissues that have a biomechanical function, i.e., connective orthopaedic tissues. To do this, it is necessary to have accurate benchmarks for the elastic, permeability, and swelling (i.e., biphasic-swelling) properties of native tissues. However, in the case of the intervertebral disc, the biphasic-swelling properties of individu...
متن کاملHuman Annulus Fibrosus Dynamic Tensile Modulus Increases with Degeneration.
The annulus fibrosus (AF) of the intervertebral disc experiences cyclic tensile loading in vivo at various states of mechanical equilibrium. Disc degeneration is associated with alterations in the biochemical composition of the AF including decreased water content, decreased proteoglycan concentration, and increased collagen deposition that affect mechanical function of the AF in compression an...
متن کاملRe-swelling Degenerate Intervertebral Discs by Percutaneous Injection:an In-vitro Investigation
INTRODUCTION Intervertebral discs (IVD) are swollen structures which support substantial static and dynamic loads. Load-carriage is achieved by hydrostatic pressurization of the fluid-filled nucleus pulposus (NP) contained by the ultra-low hydraulic permeability of the endplates and mechanically strong annulus fibrosis (AF). During the diurnal loading cycle, fluid is slowly wrung out in a proce...
متن کاملEvaluation of Electrospun Nanofiber-Anchored Silicone for the Degenerative Intervertebral Disc
The nucleus pulposus (NP) substitution by polymeric gel is one of the promising techniques for the repair of the degenerative intervertebral disc (IVD). Silicone gel is one of the potential candidates for a NP replacement material. Electrospun fiber anchorage to silicone disc, referred as ENAS disc, may not only improve the biomechanical performances of the gel but it can also improve restorati...
