Ascending central canal dilation and progressive ependymal disruption in a contusion model of rodent chronic spinal cord injury
BACKGROUND Chronic spinal cord injury (SCI) can lead to an insidious decline in motor and sensory function in individuals even years after the initial injury and is accompanied by a slow and progressive cytoarchitectural destruction. At present, no pathological mechanisms satisfactorily explain the ongoing degeneration. METHODS Adult female Sprague-Dawley rats were anesthetized laminectomized...
متن کاملCytoskeletal disruption following contusion injury to the rat spinal cord.
Following experimental spinal cord injury (SCI), there is a delayed loss of neurofilament proteins but relatively little is known regarding the status of other cytoskeletal elements. The purpose of the present study was to compare the extent and time course of the MAP2 loss with that of neurofilament proteins, and to examine tau protein levels and distribution following SCI. Within 1 to 6 hours...
متن کاملA contusion model of severe spinal cord injury in rats.
The translational potential of novel treatments should be investigated in severe spinal cord injury (SCI) contusion models. A detailed methodology is described to obtain a consistent model of severe SCI. Use of a stereotactic frame and computer controlled impactor allows for creation of reproducible injury. Hypothermia and urinary tract infection pose significant challenges in the post-operativ...
متن کاملAssessment of corelation between spinal canal shape and spinal cord injury in thoracolumbar spine fractures
Traumatic spinal cord injury is one of the important causes of disability.in some of vertebral fractures,spinal canal is deformed and compromised.the relationship between the shape of the cervical canal and spinal cord hnjury has been proved but such a correlation for thoraculombar spine 50 patients with compromised canal(cases) and 50 oatients with intact canal were evaluated in the light of s...
متن کاملThermostabilized chondroitinase ABC Promotes Neuroprotection after Contusion Spinal Cord Injury
Background: Chondroitinase ABC (cABC), due to its loosening impact on the extracellular matrix scaffold, has been used to enhance regeneration of injured axonal tracts after spinal cord injury (SCI). However, cABC thermal instability at physiological temperature has limited its clinical application. The disaccharide trehalose has been shown to increase the stability of cABC in body temperature....
