Abstract

Case records of 200 patients operated on in 1998/99 for herniated lumbar disc in Neurosurgery Dept. showed that 95 patients (47.5%) had been treated previously by 148 alternative medical or non-medical procedures. The authors discuss the problem of non-conventional treatment methods applied for herniated lumbar disc by professionals or non professionals. The procedures are often dangerous.

Abstract

Contents The aim of this study was to determine whether C/ T missense mutation within the ETFA gene is associated with sperm antioxidant enzymatic activity. One hundred and twenty Holstein- Friesian bulls were genotyped by the PCR- RFLP technique ( Mwo I). Commercial straws of frozen-thawed semen were used to evaluate the activity of three antioxidant enzymes: superoxide dismutase, catalase and glutathione peroxidase. Among all bulls investigated, genotype CT was the most frequent (44.2%), in comparison with CC (42.5%) and TT (13.3%). Significant differences in glutathione peroxidase activity were observed between homozygous individuals ( CC vs TT) with heterozygous CT having intermediate values. Dismutase activity was significantly associated with ETFA genotype, although only bulls with the CT genotype were significantly different from bulls carrying the CC genotype. The activity of catalase showed a similar trend (but was not statistically significant). In conclusion, we found that bulls with the ETFA TT genotype produce sperm with the highest glutathione peroxidase activity and can therefore be more efficiently protected from reactive oxygen. The mechanism of this interaction needs to be elucidated in future research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
