Histomorphometric study of the spinal cord segments in the chick and adult male ostrich (Struthio camelus)
In this study, the vertical, transverse and oblique diameters of the spinal cord segments (C1, C6, C12, C18, T1, T4, L1, L4, L6 and L8) and the ratio of gray matter to white matter in chick (l month) and adult (18 months) male ostriches, each group consisted of 3 animals, were measured with standard micrometric method using 6 μm thick sections by light microscope. With advancement of age, the r...
متن کاملComparative histomorphometric study of the various segments of the spinal cord in the adult male and female mongoose (Herpestes edwardsii)
Background: Anatomical and histological studies of the spinal cord have always garnered anatomists’ attention because of their high importance in various fields of veterinary medicine, zoology and behavioral science. OBJECTIVES: This work was conducted to understand the detailed histomorphometric aspects of the spinal cord of Indian gray mongoose (Herpestes edwardsii). METHODS: Six adult Indian...
متن کاملIn vivo myelin water imaging in rat spinal cord
Introduction Measuring myelin content in a rat model of spinal cord injury (SCI) can be an important marker of the cord pathology and can be used to monitor potential SCI therapies. Myelin water imaging has been shown to measure myelin content in normal and diseased brain and spinal cord tissue [1, 2]. This technique was successfully applied in excised rat spinal cords [3], however the requirem...
متن کاملIn-vivo multi-exponential T2, magnetization transfer and quantitative histology in a rat model of intramyelinic edema☆☆☆
Two MRI methods, multi-exponential analysis of transverse relaxation (MET2) and quantitative magnetization transfer (qMT), were used along with quantitative evaluation of histology in a study of intra-myelinic edema in rat spinal white matter. The results showed a strong linear correlation between a distinct long-T2 signal from MET2 analysis and the edema water volume fraction as measured by hi...
متن کاملCombining Double Quantum Filtering and Magnetization Transfer with UTE to Obtain Images Based on Macromolecular Characteristics
In recent years there has been interest in intramolecular dipolar interactions in macromolecules (MM) in tissues, such as brain, spinal cord, and rat-tail using NMR and MRI (1-4).It was suggested that these interactions could be probed by three successive steps: 1) exciting selectively the MM magnetization, 2) transferring the MM magnetization to the water, and 3) obtaining images based on the ...
