Abstract
The Comparison of Trace Element Levels in Serum, Bone and Intervertebral Disc Tissues of Patients with Lumbar Spinal Stenosis and Lumbar Disc Herniation
Highlights
About 96% of the human body is known to be composed of carbon, oxygen, hydrogen and nitrogen elements called major elements [1]
It is known that high doses of trace elements have toxic effects, it supports the hypothesis that these trace elements may have beneficial biological effects at pharmacological levels in accordance with the results obtained in our study
Ca element (p 0.025) (Graph1) and V element values (p= 0.001) (Graph2) were found to be higher in bone tissue of lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) cases, whereas Co values were higher in bone tissue of lumbar disc herniation (LDH) group (p =0.004) (Graph 3).There was no significant difference in serum concentration in both groups
Summary
About 96% of the human body is known to be composed of carbon, oxygen, hydrogen and nitrogen elements called major elements [1]. There are elements called semi-major elements such as potassium, sodium, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium which constitute 3-4% of the total body weight and whose biological functions are better understood. The trace element measurements of serum, bone, and disc materials obtained from LSS and LDH patients who were thought to have occurred with different etiological factors on the same anatomical structure were compared and the results of both groups were compared statistically. In this way, the role of trace elements in the physiopatho genesis of these different pathologies has been investigated. The measurement of TEs levels at the same time in three different tissues (blood, bone, and disc) was done in our study for the first time
