Changes in Urinary Bladder Structure and Systemic Inflammation Response Following Incomplete Transection versus Contusion Spinal Cord Injury in Rat Model
Objective- The current study was conducted to evaluate changes in the urinary bladder structure and leukocyte profile as an important index of the systemic inflammation response for two different types of spinal cord injury (SCI) in a rat model. Design- Experimental Study.Animals- Forty adult healthy female Sprague-Dawley rats.<br /...
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....
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 کاملMechanism of cervical spinal cord injury during bilateral facet dislocation.
STUDY DESIGN An in vitro biomechanical study. OBJECTIVES The objectives were to: quantify dynamic canal pinch diameter (CPD) narrowing during simulated bilateral facet dislocation of a cervical functional spinal unit model with muscle force replication, determine if peak dynamic CPD narrowing exceeded that observed post-trauma, and evaluate dynamic cord compression. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DA...
متن کاملAcute management of traumatic cervical spinal cord injury.
Patients with acute cervical spinal cord injury present complex clinical challenges. These injuries may result in motor and sensory deficits and also in cardiovascular and respiratory perturbations. Increased attention to critical care support has led to improved survival and recovery in many patients. The methods and technology used to diagnose and classify these injuries as well as medical an...
