Outline of Final Research Achievements

The aims of this research were ① to prove that yellow ligament thickening model in rabbit is useful, and ② to assess the changes in the thickened yellow ligament histologically . With regard to ①, L2/3 and L4/5 were fixed with plates and harvested 8 and 16 weeks after surgery. We found that range of motion at L3/4 increased. With regard to ②, we found that toluidine blue staining showed red-purple areas, which are known to represent metachromasia indicating cartilagespecific matrix, were prominently increased in the yellow ligament. Moreover, these cells and the matrix were positively stained with an antitype 2 collagen antibody by immunohistochemistry.
