The biomechanical data can not only demonstrate the reliability of percutaneous dlscectomy,but also present a new enlightement for the clinical therapy of cervical disc herniation with spinal canal stenosis.展开更多

The present paper reports the kinematic changes in the posterior element oflumbar spine during rotatory manipulation, using motion segments of lumbar spine fromfresh cadavers as specimens and an electromechanical system for the measurements. Theanalysis of the angle-displacement curve and the load-angle curve reveals that rotatorychiropractic is a kind of complicated 3-D. 6-degree-of-freedom motion. Correctmanipulation may adjust the volume of the nerve root canal and relax the articulation be-tween the upper and lower joint processes so as to relieve the adhesion of the enclosuresin the nerve root canal and relieve the adhesion of the facet joints, and bring aboutimprovement of local circulation and amelioration of symptoms.展开更多

The aim of this study was to observe the inflammatory response of the sympathetic trunk to an autologous degenerative nucleus pulposus(NP) injection under fluoroscopy. Methods: A total of 72 rats were used. In 24 rats,the autologous NP suspension was injected into the right sympathetic trunk. Next,food intake and body weight of each rat were monitored for 14 days. Fourteen days after the injection,the right lumbar sympathetic trunk was harvested for histological assessment,and protein levels of IL-1 β,IL-6,and TNF-α were quantified via ELISA. Results: In the NP-treated group,endoneural hyperemia and intensive infiltration of inflammatory cells could be identified in sections of the sympathetic trunk by the hematoxylin and eosin(H&E) stain. Meanwhile,elevated concentrations of IL-1 β,IL-6,and TNF-α were determined in the sympathetic trunk of the NP group as compared to that of the na?ve and control groups,which indicated the development of an inflammatory response. Furthermore,food intake and body weight of rats in the NP group decreased significantly. Conclusions: The results indicated that an inflammatory response in the sympathetic trunk can be caused by anterior herniation of the lumbar disc,which can generate a sympathetic inflammatory pain response.展开更多
