Study of the Effects of Horsetail Stem Extract Administration on the Numerical Density of Alpha Motoneurons in the Ventral Horn of Lumbar Spinal Cord of Compressed Sciatic Nerve of Rat
Purpose: The goal of this research was to study of the protective effects horse tail (HT) plant extract on the central degeneration of alpha motoneurons (AM) of spinal cord.Materials and Methods: The lesioned sciatic rats were divided into sham, control and 3 experimental groups and treated by 15 mg/kg, ip HT extract. The animals were care for one month and then were sacrificed and perfused car...
متن کاملNeuroprotective Effects of Sodium Meta Silicate on Motoneurons of Spinal Cord Ventral Horn In Rats Underwent to Compressived Injury of Sciatic Nerve
Purpose: It has been shown that sodium meta silicate has an antioxidant effects and suppress the production of oxidative enzymes. Since the inflammation phenomena and increase the level of free radicals mostly take part in post-injury neuronal degeneration, the purpose of the present research was to examine weather the antioxidant property of sodium meta silicate can prevent the central degener...
متن کاملApplication of fiber tractography and diffusion tensor imaging to evaluate spinal cord diseases in dogs
Fiber tractography is a technique capable of depicting the three-dimensional structure and connectivity of nerve fibers using serial magnetic resonance diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). To establish fiber tractography and DTI methods in veterinary clinical medicine, we evaluated fiber tractography and DTI parameters: apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values and fractional anisotropy (FA) value...
متن کاملIn vivo DTI of the healthy and injured cat spinal cord at high spatial and angular resolution
Spinal cord diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is challenging in many ways: the small size of the cord, physiological motion and susceptibility artifacts pose daunting obstacles to the acquisition of high-quality data. Here, we present DTI results computed from in vivo studies of the healthy and injured spinal cord of five cats. Both high spatial (1.1 mm3) and angular (55 directions) resolutions we...
متن کاملNeuroprotective Effects of Aqueous Extract of Achillea Wilhelmsii on Motor Neuron Destruction of Spinal Cord Ventral Horn after Sciatic Nerve Compression in Male Adult Rats
Background & Aims: Peripheral nerve injuries affect both sensory and motor function, resulting in retrograde reaction to neuronal cell bodies in the ventral horn of spinal cord ventral and their destruction. Achillea wilhelmsii is one of the popular medicinal herbs which grow in dry and semitropical areas worldwide. There are several reports indicating the anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, anti...
