Kevin K. Cheng, PhD The Spine Journal: Available online 16 November 2013: In Press Abstract Background context It is well-established that disc mechanical properties degrade with degeneration. However, prior studies utilized cadaveric tissues from donors with undefined back pain history. Disc degeneration may present with pain at the affected motion segment, or it may be […]
Chin Med J (Engl). 2013;126(24):4691-5. Tang YZ, Shannon ML, Lai GH, Li XY, Li N, Ni JX Abstract BACKGROUND: Visceral pain is a common cause for seeking medical attention. Afferent fibers innervating viscera project to the central nervous system via sympathetic nerves. The lumbar sympathetic nerve trunk lies in front of the lumbar spine. Thus, […]
Role of cytokines in intervertebral disc degeneration: pain and disc content Risbud MV,et al. Show allJournal Nat Rev Rheumatol. 2013 Oct 29. doi: 10.1038/nrrheum.2013.160.

October 21, 2013 A genetic variation found after searching the genome of families in China, Japan and Finland with a history of lumbar disc degeneration has been linked to an increased susceptibility to the disease, according to researchers from the University of Hong Kong. “Our finding provides a key functional link of this variant form […]
A Cadaveric Study Gudavalli MR, et al. Evid Based Complement Alternat Med. 2013;2013:954134. doi: 10.1155/2013/954134. Epub 2013 Aug 20. Abstract The objective of this study was to measure intradiscal pressure (IDP) changes in the lower cervical spine during a manual cervical distraction (MCD) procedure. Incisions were made anteriorly, and pressure transducers were inserted into each […]
The structural defects which initiate the two processes both act to decompress the disc nucleus, making it less likely that the other defect could occur subsequently, and in this sense the two disc degeneration phenotypes can be viewed as distinct.

Bone Joint J. 2013 Aug;95-B(8):1127-33. doi: 10.1302/0301-620X.95B8.31660. Lama P, Le Maitre CL, Dolan P, Tarlton JF, Harding IJ, Adams MA. Abstract The belief that an intervertebral disc must degenerate before it can herniate has clinical and medicolegal significance, but lacks scientific validity. We hypothesised that tissue changes in herniated discs differ from those in discs […]
