Quimionucleólise cervical associada à espondilectomia ventral em cães: aspectos clínico-cirúrgicos, radiográficos e histológicos
Arquivo Brasileiro de Medicina Veterinária e Zootecnia, 2008Co-Authors: Daibert A. P. F., Del Carlo R. J., Monteiro B. S., Viloria M. I., Tsiomis A. C., Pinheiro L. C. P.Abstract:Foram avaliados aspectos clínico-cirúrgicos, radiográficos e histológicos de discos intervertebrais cervicais caninos após quimionucleólise com quimiopapaína associada à espondilectomia ventral em 24 cães. Em todos foi realizada a espondilectomia ventral na região do disco Intervertebral C2-C3 e quimionucleólises nos demais discos cervicais. Os cães foram sacrificados às 24 horas, e aos 8, 30, 60, 90 e 120 dias após aplicação da enzima para a obtenção de cortes sagitais dos discos intervertebrais tratados e das estruturas cartilaginosas e ósseas adjacentes. Nos mesmos períodos, foram realizadas radiografias para monitoração da espessura dos espaços intervertebrais. Todos toleraram bem o procedimento cirúrgico e não apresentaram alterações clínicas significativas. Na avaliação radiográfica, observou-se marcada redução dos espaços intervertebrais 24 horas após o tratamento. Do oitavo ao 90º dia após aplicação da enzima, foi verificada ausência total de espaço Intervertebral na região dos discos tratados. Aos 120 dias, as espessuras dos espaços intervertebrais corresponderam, em média, a 59,1% da espessura anterior ao procedimento. Na avaliação histológica, foram observadas digestão nuclear e redução da intensidade de coloração pela safranina-O 24 horas após a quimionucleólise. A partir do 60º dia, havia material amorfo no espaço nuclear, que, aos 120 dias, tinha aparência fibrocartilaginosa. A quimionucleólise associada à espondilectomia ventral determinou a lise dos discos intervertebrais e lesões nas estruturas cartilaginosas e ósseas adjacentes, com tendência à reparação por tecido fibrocartilaginoso ao longo do tempo.The clinical-surgical, radiological, and histological aspects of chemonucleolysis with chymopapain in canine cervical Intervertebral Disks associated to ventral slot in 24 dogs were evaluated. The ventral slot was accomplished in the area of the Intervertebral Disks C2-C3 and chemonucleolysis in the other cervical Disks. The dogs were clinically and radiographically monitored for up to 120 days. Each group of four animals was submitted to euthanasia with an anesthetic overdose at 24 hours, and at 8, 30, 60, 90, and 120 days after the enzyme injection for the acquisition of sagittal sections of the treated Disks, as well as adjacent cartilaginous endplates and bony structures. In this study, all dogs tolerated the surgical procedure, without detectable postoperative pain or neurological deficit. In the radiographic evaluation, it was observed consistent disk space narrowing 24 hours after the procedure and total absence of space from the 8th to the 90th day of postoperative in the area of all treated Disks. However, 120 days after treatment, there was an increase in disk height, corresponding on average to 59.1% of the preinjection value. In the histological evaluation, it was observed nuclear digestion and decrease of safranin-O staining intensity 24 hours after disk injection. At eight days, the nuclear content was still vacuolated, but more fibrillar. An irregularly defined mass was observed in the nuclear space on days 60th and 90th, but it seemed fibrocartilaginous tissue on day 120th. Chemonucleolysis with chymopapain associated to the ventral slot in the cervical column of dogs determined lysis of Intervertebral Disks, cervical instability, and lesions of cartilaginous and bone adjacent structures that tend to repair with fibrocartilaginous tissue along the time

magnetic resonance imaging of the lumbar spine in people without back pain
The New England Journal of Medicine, 1994Co-Authors: Maureen Jensen, Michael Brantzawadzki, Nancy A Obuchowski, Michael T Modic, Dennis Malkasian, Jeffrey S RossAbstract:Background The relation between abnormalities in the lumbar spine and low back pain is controversial. We examined the prevalence of abnormal findings on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans of the lumbar spine in people without back pain. Methods We performed MRI examinations on 98 asymptomatic people. The scans were read independently by two neuroradiologists who did not know the clinical status of the subjects. To reduce the possibility of bias in interpreting the studies, abnormal MRI scans from 27 people with back pain were mixed randomly with the scans from the asymptomatic people. We used the following standardized terms to classify the five Intervertebral Disks in the lumbosacral spine: normal, bulge (circumferential symmetric extension of the disk beyond the interspace), protrusion (focal or asymmetric extension of the disk beyond the interspace), and extrusion (more extreme extension of the disk beyond the interspace). NonIntervertebral disk abnormalities, such as facet arthropathy, were also d...
