Spontaneous regressions of calcified thoracic disc herniations (TDH) have been rarely described. Since now, no previous papers hypothesized that radiological factors could be able to predict the evolution of the herniation. This study shows that the radiodensity of the herniated material in herniations with spontaneous resolution might differ from that of operated herniations. ⋯ Qualitative differences between calcified TDH that resolve spontaneously or need surgical treatment might be shown by differences of radiodensity. This comparative study, in spite of the limitations due to small numbers, provides a new insight in the interpretation of the phenomenon of spontaneous resolution of calcified TDH. These slides can be retrieved under Electronic Supplementary Material.

Determine whether decorin is immuno-stimulatory to rat tail IVD cells and to characterize the mechanical consequence of inflammation at the whole rat tail IVD level. ⋯ AF cells are capable of detecting decorin and inducing inflammation. Decorin further resulted in a functional deterioration in IVD mechanical integrity. TAK- 242, a TLR4 inhibitor, blunted chemokine production at the cellular level and preserved mechanical stiffness in the whole IVD.
