Human Cytomegalovirus Infection and Endothelial Function Disorder in Patients with Nonspecific Low Back Pain / 中国康复理论与实践

ABSTRACT

@# ObjectiveTo study the relationship between Human Cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection and endothelial function disorder and its possible role in nonspecific low back pain (NLBP).MethodsHCMV-DNA, -IgM, -IgG, HE stain, endothelin (ET) were detected in 50 patients with NLBP and 36 healthy people without NLBP(non-NLBP group).ResultsThe positive rate of HCMV-DNA,-IgM,-IgG, HE stain were higher in NLBP group than that in non-NLBP group(P<0.05), as well as the levels of ET(P<0.05).ConclusionHCMV infection may relate with NLBP, and ET may play an important role in it.
