Neurobiology of Disease Methylprednisolone Protects Oligodendrocytes But Not Neurons after Spinal Cord Injury
Methylprednisolone (MP) is used to treat a variety of neurological disorders involving white matter injury, including multiple sclerosis, acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, and spinal cord injury (SCI). Although its mechanism of action has been attributed to antiinflammatory or antioxidant properties, we examined the possibility that MP may have direct neuroprotective activities. Neurons and...
متن کاملDorsal Spinal Cord Neuroepithelium Generates Astrocytes but Not Oligodendrocytes
There is evidence that oligodendrocytes in the spinal cord are derived from a restricted part of the ventricular zone near the floor plate. An alternative view is that oligodendrocytes are generated from all parts of the ventricular zone. We reinvestigated glial origins by constructing chick-quail chimeras in which dorsal or ventral segments of the embryonic chick neural tube were replaced with...
متن کاملTreadmill training after spinal cord injury: good but not better.
In theory, a good experiment is supposed to be a multiple-choice question with only a few well-defined possible answers. In fact, the outcome of the most productive experiments is frequently “None of the above.” The study in this issue of Neurology by Dobkin et al.1 is an excellent example of a welldesigned study with an outcome substantially different from any of those anticipated. In 1951, Sh...

متن کاملThe fate of neurons after traumatic spinal cord injury in rats: A systematic review
Objective(s): To reach an evidence-based knowledge in the context of the temporal-spatial pattern of neuronal death and find appropriate time of intervention in order to preserve spared neurons and promote regeneration after traumatic spinal cord injury (TSCI). Materials and Methods: The study design was based on Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA)-guided...
