background: the aim of this research was to study the distribution and changes of glycoconjugates particularly their terminal sugars by using lectin histochemistry during mouse spinal cord development. methods: formalin-fixed sections of mouse embryo (10-16 fetal days) were processed for lectin histochemical method. in this study, two groups of horseradish peroxidase-labeled specific lectins we...

Background: Amylin and Salmon Calcitonin belong to the calcitonin family of peptides and have high affinity binding sites in the rat spinal cord. The aim of this study was to characterize receptors for Amylin and Salmon Calcitonin functionally in the spinal cord of rats. We assessed the expression of c-Fos in response to intraplantar formalin in the lumbar regions of the spinal cord in consciou...

background and objective: deprenyl is a drug for the treatment of parkinson’s disease, where the dopaminergic neurons are the target of this drug. several reports also documented that deprenyl has an effect on the sensory and motor neurons. there are some reports about the mode of action of deprenyl on motoneurons as a neuroprotective agent, while others believe that deprenyl acts as a neurores...

background ischemic injury of the spinal cord during the surgical repair of thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms might lead to paraplegia. although a number of different mechanisms have been proposed, the exact cause of paraplegia has remained unknown, hampering the development of effective pharmacologic or other strategies for prevention of this condition. a number of studies suggested that cyclo...

background: tumors of the central nervous system (cns) are a heterogeneous group of neoplasms with different prevalence in different sex and age groups and various parts of cns. objectives: determining the relative frequency of different types of cns tumors in different ages, sex and cns anatomical locations. materials and methods: this retrospective study was performed using pathological repor...

background: over the years, various types of orthoses have been designed to assist subjects with spinal cord injury (sci) to stand and walk. however, the functional performance of the orthoses has not been adequate, that is, patients experience stability problems, consume excessive energy during ambulation, and generally require assistance in donning and doffing the devices. this research is ai...

background and aim : acute injuries of the spine and spinal cord are causing the greatest amount of disability. they produce high cost outcomes for patients and society psychologically and economically. knowing the epidemiology of these injuries play an important role in planning for prevention and conservative treatment. but now, we have little information about this in our country. the aim of...

background & importance: acute autonomic system impairment can be dangerous and life-threatening, and a clinician should be aware of its occurrence possibility. according to the anatomy of this system, spinal cord lesions could disturb its function. there are many reports of autonomic dysreflexia in spinal cord i njuries especially spinal cord trauma. case presentation: a 28 year-old man with a...

Traumatic spinal cord injury is one of the important causes of disability.in some of vertebral fractures,spinal canal is deformed and compromised.the relationship between the shape of the cervical canal and spinal cord hnjury has been proved but such a correlation for thoraculombar spine 50 patients with compromised canal(cases) and 50 oatients with intact canal were evaluated in the light of s...
