English Abstract:
  【Abstract】 Objective:To investigate the culturing characteristics of nucleus pulposus cells from the neck、thoracic and lumbar intervertebral disc.Method:After anesthesia,the whole spine specimen was immediately separated from 10 white rabbits(3-4months) under the sterile conditions.Nucleus pulposus cells of different segments(C1/C2-C7/T1,T1/T2-T7/L1,L1/L2-L7/S1) were cultured and the attachment rates were recorded after 24h respectively.The proteoglycan contents was detected and the cell viability was accounted on 3,7,14,21 days.Result:There were statistical significances among every group with regard to attachment rate (P<0.01)and the lumbar disc nucleus pulposus cells had the highest attachment rate.The difference of both the cell death/viability and proteoglycan contents among different segments on 3,7,14,21 days after culturing was significant(P<0.01),and lumbar disc nucleus pulposus cells had the lowest death/viability rate(P<0.01)and the highest proteoglycan contents(P<0.01).Conclusion:Lumbar disc nucleus pulposus cells,compared with the cervical and thoracic have a better growth status,which as a seed cell is more suitable for culturing.
