Cytoskeletal 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 کاملChanges 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 کاملCompound Action Potential of Isolated Spinal Cord: A Biophysical Analysis to Address Activity of Individual Fibers Following Contusion Injury
Compound action potential (CAP) of spinal cord represents valuable properties of neural fibers including excitability, rate of myelination and membrane integrity. These properties are measured using amplitude, latency and area under curve of CAPs recorded from spinal cord. Here, the isolated spinal cord was set in a double sucrose gap (DSG) chamber and its response to intracellular stimulation ...
متن کاملSpatio-Temporal Progression of Grey and White Matter Damage Following Contusion Injury in Rat Spinal Cord
Cellular mechanisms of secondary damage progression following spinal cord injury remain unclear. We have studied the extent of tissue damage from 15 min to 10 weeks after injury using morphological and biochemical estimates of lesion volume and surviving grey and white matter. This has been achieved by semi-quantitative immunocytochemical methods for a range of cellular markers, quantitative co...
