Cotrel-dubousset instrumentation in children using simultaneous motor and somatosensory evoked potential monitoring.

abstract：STUDY DESIGN:We measured the expression and responses of Toll-Like Receptor 4 (TLR4) activation in the intervertebral disc (IVD) in vitro and in vivo. We hypothesize that stimulation of the IVD with the TLR4 ligand lipopolysaccharide (LPS) results in upregulation of a coordinated set of proinflammatory mediators and in...
