From: Comparison of multifidus degeneration between scoliosis and lumbar disc herniation
Two cases of scoliosis. Patient 1: A1-E1. Patient 2: A2-E2.
(A1) The X-ray radiograph shows the degree of scoliosis. (B1) The T2-weighted axial MRI at L2 shows the multifidus morphology. (C1) The hematoxylin-eosin staining shows the rimmed vacuole. (D1) The NADH dehydrogenase staining shows the NADH dehydrogenase activity decreased. (E1) The Cytochrome C oxidase enzymes staining shows the Cytochrome C oxidase enzymes activity decreased. (A2) The X-ray radiograph shows the degree of scoliosis. (B2) The T2-weighted axial MRI at L1 shows the multifidus morphology. (C2) The Succinate dehydrogenase staining shows severe activity disorder of succinate dehydrogenase. (D2) The NADH dehydrogenase staining shows severe activity disorder of NADH dehydrogenase. (E2) The Cytochrome C oxidase enzymes staining shows severe activity disorder of Cytochrome C oxidase enzymes
