Hybridoma Technology01:31

Hybridoma Technology

17.7K
Hybridoma technology is used for the large-scale production of monoclonal antibodies. Monoclonal antibodies bind to only a single antigenic determinant or epitope. Such antibodies are used in research, diagnostics, and disease therapy. The hybridoma technology established in 1975 by Georges Köhler and Cesar Milstein was awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1984 for revolutionizing research and therapy.

Lewis Acids and Bases02:33

Lewis Acids and Bases

48.5K
In 1923, G. N. Lewis proposed a generalized definition of acid-base behavior in which acids and bases are identified by their ability to accept or to donate a pair of electrons and form a coordinate covalent bond.
A coordinate covalent bond (or dative bond) occurs when one of the atoms in the bond provides both bonding electrons. For example, a coordinate covalent bond occurs when a water molecule combines with a hydrogen ion to form a hydronium ion. A coordinate covalent bond also results when...

Weak Base Solutions03:21

Weak Base Solutions

25.3K
Some compounds produce hydroxide ions when dissolved by chemically reacting with water molecules. In all cases, these compounds react only partially and so are classified as weak bases. These types of compounds are also abundant in nature and important commodities in various technologies. For example, global production of the weak base ammonia is typically well over 100 metric tons annually, being widely used as an agricultural fertilizer, a raw material for chemical synthesis of other...

Base Excision Repair01:54

Base Excision Repair

26.4K
One of the common DNA damages is the chemical alteration of single bases by alkylation, oxidation, or deamination. The altered bases cause mispairing and strand breakage during replication. This type of damage causes minimal change to the DNA double helix structure and can be repaired by the base excision repair (BER) pathways. BER corrects damaged DNA sequences by removing the damaged base and restoring the original base sequence using the complementary strand as a template.
The first step of...

Ions as Acids and Bases02:54

Ions as Acids and Bases

Salts with Acidic Ions
Salts are ionic compounds composed of cations and anions, either of which may be capable of undergoing an acid or base ionization reaction with water. Aqueous salt solutions, therefore, may be acidic, basic, or neutral, depending on the relative acid-base strengths of the salt’s constituent ions. For example, dissolving the ammonium chloride in water results in its dissociation, as described by the equation:

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Neurosurgery
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Vertebral compression fractures (VCFs) can lead to kyphotic deformity and systemic complications.
  • Lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) causes neurogenic intermittent claudication, impacting quality of life, especially in individuals over 50.
  • Current treatments for VCFs are evolving from cement injection alone to include implants for height restoration and deformity correction.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline the fundamental principles of spinal implantation for VCF and LSS.
  • To discuss the biomechanical role and diverse types of spinal implants used in these conditions.
  • To address controversies in techniques and products, emphasizing personalized treatment strategies.

Main Methods:

  • Review of spinal implant types: stents, jacks, PEEK cages, and fracture reduction systems for VCFs.
  • Description of percutaneous interspinous spacers for LSS symptom relief in non-surgical candidates.
  • Analysis of biomechanical principles influencing implant selection and application.

Main Results:

  • Implants provide a paradigm shift in VCF treatment, combining cement benefits with structural restoration.
  • Spinal implants can restore vertebral height and correct kyphotic angles, mitigating complications.
  • Interspinous spacers offer a less invasive option for LSS symptom management.

Conclusions:

  • Spinal implantation is a key advancement in managing VCFs and LSS.
  • Biomechanical considerations and implant type are crucial for successful outcomes.
  • An individualized approach to implant selection based on patient factors and anatomy is essential.
