摘要:


文题释义:

椎间盘源性腰痛:是指随着年龄的增长,腰椎间盘在自然老化、退化的生理病理过程中表现出椎间隙高度降低、纤维环出现裂隙或断裂、髓核胶原蛋白和水分的丢失、椎体终板的钙化等结构的改变,继而在相应部位出现腰痛的临床表现。
肿瘤坏死因子:也称为恶病质素和TNFSF1A,是一种脂肪因子,参与了全身炎症,同时也是刺激急性期反应的细胞因子之一。
完全弗氏佐剂:是一种油包水的乳浊液,可刺激高且持久的抗体应答,其活性来自于油滴中免疫原的持续释放,并刺激局部免疫反应,被广泛用于制作慢性疼痛模型。


背景:椎间盘退变是导致下腰痛的重要原因。目前国内外对于椎间盘退变的造模方法众多,但缺乏一个针对椎间盘退变引起下腰痛的模型。

目的:对比机械穿刺结合肿瘤坏死因子α+完全弗氏佐剂注射与传统仅机械穿刺下建立的大鼠椎间盘源性腰痛模型的效果。
方法:将18只成年SD雄性大鼠,按照随机数字表法分3组,每组6只,空白组不进行任何操作;对照组大鼠L4-5椎间盘建立传统机械穿刺椎间盘退变模型;实验组在机械穿刺基础上,以微量注射器向L4-5椎间盘内注入肿瘤坏死因子α+完全弗氏佐剂建立机械穿刺结合炎症因子诱导的椎间盘退变模型。术后4周,热板法测大鼠痛阈值用于评估椎间盘退变大鼠对热伤害感受;MRI观察各组大鼠椎间盘退变情况; ELISA法检测血清肿瘤坏死因子α、白细胞介素1β、白细胞介素6、前列腺素E2水平;苏木精-伊红和番红O固绿染色观察椎间盘形态变化。

结果与结论:①在疼痛上,与对照组相比,实验组大鼠的行为学痛阈值持续降低,血清学各炎症因子指标显著增高;②在形态上,与对照组相比,实验组大鼠的MRI L4-5髓核信号完全消失;组织病理学染色显示:对照组大鼠髓核完整,可见较多脊索细胞,部分纤维环破裂;实验组大鼠的脊索细胞稀少,髓核与纤维环结构紊乱,边界消失;③结论:大鼠椎间盘机械穿刺结合肿瘤坏死因子α+完全弗氏佐剂注射可成功建立椎间盘源性腰痛模型,该操作方法简单、经济,模型退变及腰痛明显,明显缩短椎间盘退变成模周期,可作为研究椎间盘源性腰痛模型的参考。

Abstract: BACKGROUND: Intervertebral disc degeneration is an important cause of low back pain. At present, there are many modeling methods for disc degeneration in China and abroad, but there is not a model for low back pain due to disc degeneration. 
OBJECTIVE: To compare the effect of mechanical puncture combined with tumor necrosis factor α and complete Freund’s adjuvant with a conventional disc mechanical puncture alone.
METHODS: A total of 18 male adult Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 3 groups, with 6 animals in each group. No treatment was given in the blank group. Animal models of intervertebral disc degeneration were made in the L4-5 segments of rats in the control using conventional mechanical puncture. In the experimental group, on the basis of mechanical puncture, tumor necrosis factor α+complete Freund’s adjuvant was injected into the L4-5 intervertebral discs using a microinjector to establish a model of disc degeneration induced by mechanical puncture combined with inflammatory factors. Four weeks after surgery, the pain threshold of rats was measured by the hot plate method for assessing the perception of heat injury in rats with intervertebral disc degeneration. MRI examination was performed to observe the disc degeneration in each group. ELISA was used to detect the levels of serum tumor necrosis factor α, interleukin 1β, interleukin 6 and prostaglandin E2. Hematoxylin-eosin and Safranin O-fast green staining were used to observe the morphological changes of the disc.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: In terms of pain, the behavioral pain threshold of the experimental group was continuously decreased, and the levels of serum inflammatory factors were significantly higher compared with the control group. In terms of morphology, the MRI results showed that the L4-5 nucleus pulposus signal completely disappeared in the experimental group. Histopathological results showed that in the control group, the nucleus pulposus was intact, more notochord cells were visible, and some fiber rings were ruptured, while in the experimental group, there are fewer notochord cells and the structure of the nucleus pulposus and fibrous ring is disturbed, with the boundary disappearing. To conclude, mechanical puncture combined with tumor necrosis factor alpha and complete Freund’s adjuvant can successfully establish a discogenic low back pain model in rats. This operation is simple and economical to achieve obvious disc degeneration and low back pain, with greatly shortened molding cycle. This model can be used as a reference for studying discogenic low back pain models.
