RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN VERTEBRAL ENDPLATE DEGENERATION (MODIC CHANGES, SCHMORL NODES, ENDPLATE IRREGULARITIES) AND BONE MINERAL DENSITY

Relationship between vertebral endplate degeneration (Modic changes, Schmorl nodes, endplate irregularities) and Bone Mineral Density

Objective: The end plate plays an important role in maintaining the structural integrity, balancing biomechanical and supplying nutrition, how dose it changes with the reduced bone mineral density (BMD) remains unknown.The objective of this study is to investigate the relationship between lumbar end plate degeneration and normal BMD, osteopenia and

The Critical Analysis of Catalytic Steam Explosion Pretreatment of Corn Stalk, Lignin Degradation, Recovery, and Characteristic Variations

The lignin degradation and its structural change as a result of catalytic steam explosion pretreatment can be considered of great importance for both the subsequent fermentation TV and the further utilization of the lignin fraction.This work investigated the degradation mechanism and change in the characteristics of lignin during dilute sulphuric-a
