Then GSTA4 isoenzyme values were measured and compared.Results: The mean LF thickness was significantly higher in the LSCS group than in the LDH group (6.72±0.86 and 3.1±0.7 mm,respectively, p
📌 3 Key Takeaways
🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:Aim: To compare the glutathione s-transferase α-4 (GSTA4) isoenzymes expression values in patients with lumbar spinal canalstenosis (LSCS) due to ligamentum flavum (LF) hypertrophy with patients no evidence of LF hypertrophy.Material and Methods: 27 LF specimens were obtained from patients with LSCS and 27 LF specimens were obtained from patientswith lumbar discal hernia (LDH).
📊
Key Findings & Data:Firstly these LF samples were analyzed histologically to identify the fibrosis and elastin degradationvalues.
💡
Conclusion & Impact:Then GSTA4 isoenzyme values were measured and compared.Results: The mean LF thickness was significantly higher in the LSCS group than in the LDH group (6.72±0.86 and 3.1±0.7 mm,respectively, p
