Isolation of <i>Gemella morbillorum</i>in Herniated Intervertebral Disc Tissue in a Lumbar Discectomy Patient: A Case Report

Back pain associated with lumbar disc herniation is a common musculoskeletal disorder that leads to absence at work place worldwide. Studies have proven in addition to the traditional factors, microbes play a role in disc herniation causing chronic back pain. A 34-year-old male who has not involved in any traumatic work but has a family history of disc herniation presented with lower back pain and numbness in his right leg. He had previously undergone lumbar discectomy at L4/L5 ten years back. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) showed L5/S1 right para central disc herniation impinging on the right S1 and S2 nerve roots. Standard protocols for disinfection of instruments, external skin and all transport media were adhered. Skin scrapings, muscle biopsy and excised disc tissue were obtained for anaerobic and aerobic bacterial cultures. Anaerobic microbial cultures of excised disc tissue following lumbar discectomy showed Gram positive growth. Further anaerobic isolation carried out using RapID ANA ID kit confirmed the growth as Gemella morbillorum. In addition, neither of the control samples (muscle nor skin) had any anaerobic growth indicating the absence of contamination. Aerobic bacterial growth was not present in the skin, muscles and disc cultures. The study findings add to the available literature, on the role of microorganisms in lumbar disc herniation and future treatment regimens with antibiotics.

Apparent diffusion coefficient in normal and abnormal pattern of intervertebral lumbar discs: initial experience

The aim of the present study was to compare the relationship of morphologically defined non-bulging/herni-ated, bulging and herniated intervertebral lumbar discs with quantitative apparent diffusion coefficient （ADC）. Thirty-two healthy volunteers and 28 patients with back pain or sciatica were examined by MRI. All intervertebral lumbar discs from L1 to S1 were classified according to morphological abnormality and degenerated grades. The ADC values of nucleus pulposus （NP） were measured and recorded. The significant differences about mean ADC values of NP were found between non-bulging/herniated discs and bulging discs as well as herniated discs （P 0.05）, whereas there were no significant differences in ADC values between bulging and herniated discs （P 0.05）. Moreover, statistically significant relationship was found in the mean ADC values of NP between ＂non-bulging/herniated and non-degenerated discs＂ and ＂non-bulging/herniated degenerated discs＂ as well as herniated discs （P 0.05）. Linear regression analysis between ADC value and disc level revealed an inverse correlation （r = -0.18）. The ADC map of the NP is a potentially useful tool for the quantitative assessment of componential and molecular alterations accompanied with lumbar disc abnormalities.

Comparison of microendoscopic discectomy and open discectomy for single-segment lumbar disc herniation

BACKGROUND Lumbar disc herniation is a common disease.Endoscopic treatment may have more advantages than traditional surgery.AIM To compare the clinical efficacy and safety of microendoscopic discectomy(MED)and open discectomy with lamina nucleus enucleation in the treatment of singlesegment lumbar intervertebral disc herniation.METHODS Ninety-six patients who were operated at our hospital were selected for this study.Patients with single-segment lumbar disc herniation were admitted to the hospital from March 2018 to March 2019 and were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group with 48 cases in each group.The former group underwent lumbar discectomy and the latter underwent laparotomy and nucleus pulpectomy.Surgical effects were compared between the two groups.RESULTS In terms of surgical indicators,the observation group had a longer operation time,shorter postoperative bedtime and hospital stay,less intraoperative blood loss,and smaller incision length than the control group(P<0.05).The excellent recovery rate did not differ significantly between the observation group(93.75%)and the control group(91.67%).Visual analogue scale pain scores were significantly lower in the observation group than in the control group at 1 d,3 d,1 mo,and 6 mo after surgery(P<0.05).The incidence of complications was significantly lower in the observation group than in the control group(6.25%vs 22.92%,P<0.05).CONCLUSION Both MED and open discectomy can effectively improve single-segment lumbar disc herniation,but MED is associated with less trauma,less bleeding,and a lower incidence of complications.

The Clinical Outcomes of Transforaminal Percutaneous Endoscopic Discectomy in Treating Lumbar Disc Herniation: A Review

Percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy (PELD) is a minimally invasive technique started during the late 20th century. This process is done through microscopic view under local anesthesia. There is a growing but still insufficient evidence that lumbar EDS shows slightly better results in terms of minor tissue damage, shorter hospital stay, faster return to ordinary daily activities, and patient satisfaction. Recurrence rate still remains a matter of debate, and is related with the surgical skills of the surgeon. The complication rate seems to be similar in both of the techniques i.e., open and endoscopic. More randomized controlled trials, systematic reviews and meta-analysis are needed to clarify whether lumbar EDS can be considered comparable if not superior to standard open discectomy. In spite of lacking defined clinical evidence, lumbar EDS is without doubt a rapidly expanding PELD and its future developments are incredibly promising. Due to less complication rate this technique can be considered as a gold standard compared to the open discectomy. The surgeons still require more cadaveric practices for learning the curve and to approach the herniated disc area. The main objective of this review article is to show the clinical outcomes of the Transforaminal Percutaneous Endoscopic Discectomy in treating the lumbar disc herniation.

Clinical observation of effect of cutting-aspiration plus nucleolysis by intraintervertebral disc injection of collagenase

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of a treatme nt modality for cervical interverte bral disc herniation which consiste d of aspiration of nucleus pulposus tissue in conjunction with nucleolysis by intravertebral disc injection of collagenase.Method From June 1997to June 2000,we excuted aspiration of interverte bral disc content followed by collagenase injection that resulted in chemical neclolysis of the remainder of the nucleus pulplsus tissue in 52patien ts with 94herniated intervertebral discs.Around 600u (1ml )of collagenase per intervertebral d isc was used.The success with this treatmen t was judged by clinical observation and imaging means.Results Follow-up study ranging from 6month s to24months revealed excellent and goo d results in 90%of all patients with a ny complications.Preoperative and postoperative lateral X-ray films o f the cervical spine in hyperextensio n and hyperflexion were taken which s howed no remarkable alterations in t he stability status.Conclusions Aspiration plus nucleolysis by means of intraintervertebral disc colla genase is safe and effective for some patients with cervical interverteb ral disc herniation.

Applied anatomy of intrusive operations of lumbar intervertebral foramen

Objective:To provide anatomical datum for intrusive operations of lumbar intervertebral foramen,especially that using acupuncture-knife as intrusive tool.Methods:To dissect 10 antisepsis cadavers and observe the exposed blood vessels,ligaments,nerves and their adjacent relations in L1/2~L5/S1intervertebral foramen.Results:Lumbar intervertebral foramen exit zones were almost sealed by nerves and blood vessels.There were two zones with relatively no blood vessel and nerve(triangular working zones)located in the midpoint of the distance between two adjacent roots of transverse processus,and clung to lamina of vertebral arch,and they were also found upon the margo superior of the root of transverse processus,but the ascending lumbar vein or(and)the rami anastomoticus between the remi inferior of intervertebral vein and lumbar veins were observed in 12%triangular working zones upon the margo superior of root of transverse processus.Conclusions:"Triangular working zone"was relatively avascular zone.Pay attention to the possibilty of presence of blood vessels on the entrance passage of intrusive operations on lumbar side rear.The needlepoint should be pierced at the midpoint of the distance between two adjacent roots of transverse processus and cling to the outer edge of lamina of vertebral arch when doing the foraminal lumbar puncture.As lumbar intervertebral foramina exit zone was almost sealed by nerves and blood vessels,blind incising and debonding with acupuncture-knife in this area was relatively much more dangerous.

中药单体促髓核细胞自噬缓解椎间盘退变的研究进展

椎间盘退变是临床常见疾病,髓核与髓核细胞是椎间盘中主要的病变组织与细胞类型。髓核细胞受病理因素影响而加速衰老或出现代谢障碍时,髓核稳态被破坏,这导致了椎间盘退变的发生发展。自噬是细胞在病理环境下降解受损细胞器与异常蛋白质以维持正常生理功能的途径之一,能促进细胞自我调节以抵御致病因素影响。椎间盘退变时,髓核细胞处于应力失衡与代谢障碍的异常环境中,促进髓核细胞自噬可清除有害代谢产物累积、延缓细胞老化,这有助于维持髓核与椎间盘的健康生理状态。随着中医药治疗椎间盘退变疾病相关研究的不断深入,大量提取自传统中草药的单体成分被发现可以促进髓核细胞自噬以缓解椎间盘退变。根据最新的研究进展,讨论了髓核细胞的自噬与椎间盘退变的关联,共获取了14种在促进髓核细胞自噬以缓解椎间盘退变领域展现出潜力的中药单体,并将其作用机制归纳为以下4种:促自噬抑制髓核细胞凋亡、促自噬拮抗髓核细胞氧化应激、促自噬抑制髓核细胞外基质降解和促自噬促进髓核细胞外基质大分子合成,以期为中药单体调节髓核细胞自噬从而缓解椎间盘退变的研究提供新的思路与参考。
