Abstract

Purpose

To compare the mechanical properties of human annulus fibrosus obtained by forceps versus bistoury and observe whether the measurement could be affected by forceps sampling method.

Methods

In this study, the mechanical properties of the the extracellular matrix (ECM) of human annulus fibrosus, including elastic modulus and stiffness, were investigated using atomic force microscope (AFM). Tissue was obtained from patients during operation using a bistoury or nucleus pulposus forceps. Tissues obtained with the nucleus pulposus forceps were considered as the forceps group and those obtained with a bistoury were considered as the bistoury group.

Results

There was no significant difference observed between the forceps and bistoury group according to histological staining. The elastic modulus of the forceps group was 0.41 ± 0.08 MPa, and that of bistoury group was 0.53 ± 0.13 MPa, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (p < 0.05). The stiffness of the forceps group was 0.024 ± 0.003 N/m, and that of the bistoury group was 0.037 ± 0.003 N/m, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (p < 0.05).

Conclusion

The results indicate that the forceps sampling method has a substantial negative effect on the micromechanical properties of the ECM of the annulus fibrosus. Bistoury sampling method is recommended as the experimental subject for exploring the micromechanics mechanisms of cervical degenerative disease.

Was sich Menschen mit Frozen Shoulder wünschen

Die Capsulitis adhaesiva des Glenohumeralgelenks, auch als Frozen Shoulder bezeichnet, belastet die Betroffenen weit über die körperlichen Beschwerden hinaus, wie eine italienische Studie ergeben hat.

Restriktive Sauerstoffgabe ohne Vorteil bei schwerem Trauma

Ob schwer verletzte Personen besser restriktiv oder liberal mit Sauerstoff versorgt werden sollten, hat die Arbeitsgruppe der TRAUMOX2-Studie untersucht – mit klarem Ergebnis.

Hinweis auf Zusatznutzen der Anfallsprophylaxe mit Colchicin

Wenn Gichtkranke in den ersten Monaten einer harnsäuresenkenden Therapie eine Anfallsprophylaxe mit Colchicin erhalten, könnten sie davon doppelt profitieren: Ihr Risiko für kardiovaskuläre Komplikationen scheint ebenfalls gesenkt zu werden. 

Wenn orthopädische Patienten psychiatrische Hilfe brauchen

Auch in der orthopädischen Praxis ist man manchmal mit psychischen Problemen konfrontiert. Woran Sie erkennen können, ob Ihre Patientin oder Ihr Patient eigentlich die Hilfe einer anderen Fachdisziplin benötigt, hat ein Team aus Bologna zusammengefasst.
