Effect of hierarchically aligned fibrin hydrogel in regeneration of spinal cord injury demonstrated by tractography: A pilot study
Some studies have reported that scaffold or cell-based transplantation may improve functional recovery following SCI, but no imaging information regarding regeneration has been provided to date. This study used tractography to show the regenerating process induced by a new biomaterial-aligned fibrin hydrogel (AFG). A total of eight canines subjected to SCI procedures were assigned to the contro...
متن کاملTreadmill exercise facilitates recovery of locomotor function through axonal regeneration following spinal cord injury in rats
Spinal cord injury (SCI) disrupts both axonal pathways and segmental spinal cord circuity, resulting in permanent neurological deficits. Physical exercise is known to increase the expression of neurotrophins for improving the injured spinal cord. In the present study, we investigated the effects of treadmill exercise on locomotor function in relation with brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF...
متن کاملGain and loss of functional locomotor recovery following contusive spinal cord injury in the adult rat
GAIN AND LOSS OF FUNCTIONAL LOCOMOTOR RECOVERY FOLLOWING CONTUSIVE SPINAL CORD INJURY IN THE ADULT RAT Krista Layne Caudle November 14,2012 Activity-based rehabilitation in the form of overground or body weightsupported treadmill (BWST) locomotor step training has become the most widely accepted therapy translated from preclinical animal research to spinal cord injury (SCI) patients. However, l...
متن کاملMotor recovery and anatomical evidence of axonal regrowth in spinal cord-repaired adult rats.
Behavioral assessments of hindlimb motor recovery and anatomical assessments of extended axons of long spinal tracts were conducted in adult rats following complete spinal cord transection. Rats were randomly divided into 3 groups: 1) sham control group (laminectomy only; n = 12); 2) transection-only group, spinal cord transection at T8 (n = 20); and 3) experimental treatment group, spinal cord...
متن کاملthe effects of cyclosporin-a on functional outcome and axonal regrowth following spinal cord injury in adult rats
it has been shown that the immunophilin ligands have the special advantage in spinal cord repair. in this study, the effects of cyclosporine a (csa) on functional recovery and histological outcome were evaluated following spinal cord injury in rats. after spinal cord hemisection in thirty six adult female sprague-dawley rats (200- 250 g), treatment groups received csa (2.5 mg/kg i.p.) at 15min ...
