The effects of various preservation techniques on the biomechanical properties of bone have been investigated in a rat model. Freezing of the specimens to -20°C, -7O"C, and -196°C did not adversely affect the strength of long bones tested in torsion or of vertebral bodies tested in compression. Free
The initial effects of chymopapain, a chemonucleolytic agent, on the intervertebral disc of dogs were studied by light and electron microscopic techniques. Fragments of nucleus pulposus and annulus fibrosis were incubated with chymopapain up to 24 h in vitro. Proteoglycans and matrix proteins were r
