摘要:


文题释义:

髓核含水量:未发生退变的椎间盘中,髓核由蛋白多糖、Ⅱ型胶原和水分有机结合在一起,在MRI T2加权像上表现为高信号,文中以此表示髓核含水量的多少,而髓核的结构因为生理或应力等原因破坏后,其蛋白多糖及Ⅱ型胶原的结构会发生改变,进而影响髓核结合水的能力,其含水量下降。
基质金属蛋白酶和基质金属蛋白酶抑制剂:基质金属蛋白酶作用是降解细胞外基质,在退变椎间盘中,基质金属蛋白酶3和基质金属蛋白酶13是升高的,基质金属蛋白酶3主要是降解非胶原基质蛋白包括蛋白多糖等,基质金属蛋白酶13主要是降解胶原基质蛋白如Ⅰ型胶原等,而基质金属蛋白酶抑制剂与基质金属蛋白酶相互拮抗,文中所用的基质金属蛋白酶抑制剂1就是针对基质金属蛋白酶3和基质金属蛋白酶13的拮抗基因。


背景:牵引在临床上用于椎间盘退变早期的治疗,但其对正常椎间盘的影响仍未可知,是直接造成椎间盘退变还是正向作用即是此次实验的观察要点。

目的:建立大鼠尾椎椎间盘静态拉伸模型,观察静态拉伸对椎间盘髓核和纤维环的影响。
方法:选用20只3月龄SD大鼠,采用外固定装置静态拉伸大鼠尾椎7/8、8/9、9/10椎间隙1 mm,6/7、10/11椎间盘作为对照;拉伸2,4,6,8周随机抽取5只大鼠进行尾椎椎间盘MRI T2加权扫描、组织切片染色、合成分解代谢RT-PCR基因检测,观察静态拉伸对椎间盘髓核和纤维环的影响。

结果与结论:①大鼠尾椎椎间盘经过短期静态拉伸后,椎间盘髓核区的T2加权像信号增强;②整个拉伸期间,髓核区域髓核细胞生长状态良好,细胞间基质含量丰富,纤维环排布整齐;③RT-PCR结果显示,拉伸之后蛋白多糖基因表达升高,基质金属蛋白酶3表达降低,Ⅰ、Ⅱ型胶原基因表达降低,基质金属蛋白酶13表达升高,基质金属蛋白酶抑制剂1表达升高,这些基因结果也进一步表明拉伸使得蛋白多糖更趋向合成代谢状态,Ⅰ、Ⅱ型胶原更趋向于分解代谢状态;④结果提示静态拉伸有助于促进髓核区域蛋白多糖的合成代谢,使得水分得以维持。

Abstract: BACKGROUND: Traction is clinically used for the early treatment of intervertebral disc degeneration, but its effect on the normal intervertebral disc remains unknown. Whether it directly causes intervertebral disc degeneration or has a positive effect is the key point of this study. 
OBJECTIVE: To design a static traction model and observe the effect of static traction on the nucleus pulposus and annulus fibrosus of the intervertebral disc
METHODS: Twenty Sprague-Dawley rats, 3 months of age, were included in the study. The intervertebral disc spaces between 7/8, 8/9 and 9/10 were stretched by 1 mm, and the intervertebral disc spaces between 6/7 and 10/11 were used as control. Five rats were randomly selected at 2, 4, 6, and 8 weeks of traction to perform MRI T2-weighted scans of the caudal vertebra, tissue section staining, and RT-PCR gene assays for anabolic metabolism to observe the effects of static traction on the nucleus pulposus and annulus fibrosus of the intervertebral disc.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: After short-term static traction of the rat caudal vertebra, the T2-weighted image signal in the nucleus pulposus region was enhanced. During the traction period, nucleus pulposus cells grew well, the intercellular matrix was abundant, and the annulus fibrosus arranged regularly. The RT-PCR results showed that after traction, the mRNA expression of proteoglycan increased, the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-3 decreased, the expression of type I and II collagen decreased, and the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-13 increased and tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase 1 increased. These gene results also indicated that traction made proteoglycan more inclined to an anabolic state, and type I and II collagen more inclined to a catabolic state. To conclude, static traction promotes proteoglycan anabolism making the nucleus pulposus moist.

Key words: static traction, nucleus pulposus, annulus fibrosus, T2 high signal, proteoglycan
