Biocompatibility of reduced graphene oxide nanoscaffolds following acute spinal cord injury in rats
BACKGROUND Graphene has unique electrical, physical, and chemical properties that may have great potential as a bioscaffold for neuronal regeneration after spinal cord injury. These nanoscaffolds have previously been shown to be biocompatible in vitro; in the present study, we wished to evaluate its biocompatibility in an in vivo spinal cord injury model. METHODS Graphene nanoscaffolds were p...
متن کاملAcute Hydrocephalus Following Cervical Spinal Cord Injury
We present a case of acute hydrocephalus secondary to cervical spinal cord injury in a patient with diffuse ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL). A 75-year-old male patient visited the emergency department with tetraparesis and spinal shock. Imaging studies showed cervical spinal cord injury with hemorrhage and diffuse OPLL from C1 to C4. We performed decompressive laminec...
متن کاملTemporal modifications in bone following spinal cord injury in rats
INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to investigate the temporal modifications in bone mass, bone biomechanical properties and bone morphology in spinal cord injured rats 2, 4 and 6 weeks after a transection. MATERIAL AND METHODS Control animals were randomly distributed into four groups (n = 10 each group): control group (CG) - control animals sacrificed immediately after surgery; spinal c...
متن کاملBiocompatibility of Graphene Oxide
Herein, we report the effects of graphene oxides on human fibroblast cells and mice with the aim of investigating graphene oxides' biocompatibility. The graphene oxides were prepared by the modified Hummers method and characterized by high-resolution transmission electron microscope and atomic force microscopy. The human fibroblast cells were cultured with different doses of graphene oxides for...
متن کاملAcute spinal cord injury in rats induces autophagy activation.
AIM Autophagy is an important process that balances cellular protein synthesis and degradation and is involved in many physiological and pathological conditions. However, the precise role of autophagy has not yet been defined in the model of spinal cord injury (SCI). MATERIAL AND METHODS Here, we utilized a hemisection model of acute SCI to elucidate the role of autophagy in the pathological ...
