Manganese enhanced MRI tracing for spinal cord injury
Introduction. Spinal cord injury (SCI) remains a clinical challenge, despite multiple technologies to treat these injuries. Much of this difficulty lies in a lack of understanding of the factors required for neural regeneration once the cord is damaged or severed. Nonetheless, many techniques are currently being developed to promote neural regrowth after spinal cord injury, and animal models ar...
متن کاملRole of neuronal activity and kinesin on tract tracing by manganese-enhanced MRI (MEMRI).
MEMRI offers the exciting possibility of tracing neuronal circuits in living animals by MRI. Here we use the power of mouse genetics and the simplicity of the visual system to test rigorously the parameters affecting Mn2+ uptake, transport and trans-synaptic tracing. By measuring electrical response to light before and after injection of Mn2+ into the eye, we determine the dose of Mn2+ with the...
متن کاملMyristica fragrans Houtt extract attenuates neuronal loss and glial activation in pentylenetetrazol-induced kindling model
Inflammatory reactions are closely associated with the development and progression of epilepsy. It has been shown that inhibition of pro-inflammatory cytokines, which are released from activated astrocytes and microglia, are considered to be an effective therapeutic approach for the treatment of epileptic disorders. Regarding the anti-inflammatory effects of nutmeg (Myristica fragrans Houtt), t...
متن کاملDelayed Gadolinium Enhanced MRI of Cartilage (dGEMRIC) Following ACL Injury
INTRODUCTION: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries place the knee at risk for early osteoarthritis (OA). Early detection of articular cartilage damage could provide insight into the mechanism(s) of disease, and allow the development of new treatment strategies. dGEMRIC is a molecular imaging technique that can be used to study the loss of glycosaminoglycan (GAG) content of articular cartil...
متن کاملNeuronal injury and death following focal mild brain injury: The role of network excitability and seizure
Objective(s): While traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a predisposing factor for development of post-traumatic epilepsy (PTE), the occurrence of seizures following brain trauma can infuriate adverse consequences of brain injury. However, the effect of seizures in epileptogenesis after mild TBI cannot yet be accurately confirmed. This study was designed to investigate the ...
