Abstract

To explore the main clinical manifestation (lower back pain and ischialgia) of LDH with immunologic method and study the relationship and clinical significance of the cardinal symptom (pain) and immune comple (IC), macrophage (MP),interleukin-1 (IL-1), interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor (TNF), prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), phosphatidase A2 (PLA2), nitrogen monoxidum (NO) expressing, finding a new way in order to prevention and cure of LDH. We will review immunologic theory of LDH pain.
