Vascular Stabilization with Angiopoitin-1 Improves Outcome in Experimental Spinal Cord Injury
نویسندگان
چکیده
The effect of angiopoitin-1 (Ang-1) and adeno-associated virus (AAV) engineered to express Ang-1 on experimental spinal cord injury (SCI) was investigated using longitudinal in vivo MRI, including dynamic contrast enhanced MRI, and neurobehavioral studies. In treated animals, on MRI, improvement in the blood-spinal cord barrier (BSCB) integrity and reduced lesion volume were observed compared to the controls. A concomitant improvement in the neurobehavioral scores was observed in treated animals. These studies suggest that Ang-1 treatment is a promising therapeutic strategy in SC

Imatinib Enhances Functional Outcome after Spinal Cord Injury
We investigated whether imatinib (Gleevec®, Novartis), a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, could improve functional outcome in experimental spinal cord injury. Rats subjected to contusion spinal cord injury were treated orally with imatinib for 5 days beginning 30 minutes after injury. We found that imatinib significantly enhanced blood-spinal cord-barrier integrity, hindlimb locomotor function, senso...

متن کاملSystemic Effects of Experimental Spinal Cord Injury on Bone Healing in Rabbit
Bone loss after spinal cord injury leads to increased fragility of bone and subsequent risk for low-trauma fractures in the sublesional parts of the body. Although in such injuries upper limbs are normally innervated, bone loss may occur in the upper extremities. The present study was designed to determine the systemic effects of spinal cord injury on the fracture healing of upper limbs in rabb...
متن کاملThe effect of self-management program on the satisfaction of life in patients with spinal cord injury
Introduction: Spinal cord injuries are one of the most harmful injuries caused by secondary complications resulting from these secondary complications that reduce their satisfaction with their lives. Many of these secondary complications can be reduced or prevented by proper self-management. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of self-management program on life satisfaction in...

Background :Cell-based therapies can be used to treat neurological diseases and spinal cord injuries. The aim of this study was to assess the clinical outcome of bone marrow derived mononuclear cells (BM-MNCs) transplantation in patients with spinal cord injuries. Method s: Following a systematic review to detect clinical intervention studies, a meta-analysis was done for pooling data to es...
