Tanshinone IIA serves as a coenzyme for certain biochemical reactions, exhibiting various pharmacological effects in the treatment of neurological diseases including spinal cord injury (SCI), however, its working mechanism SCI is not clear. Based on previous research, we believe that tanshinone promotes survival and repair nerves after through such anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, prevention cel...

Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) is a debilitating condition characterized by damage to the spinal cord, resulting in loss of function, mobility, and sensation. Although increasingly prevalent US, no FDA-approved therapy exists due unfortunate complexity condition, difficulties SCI may be furthered development SCI-related complications, such as osteoporosis. demonstrates two crucial stages for consider...

background: the present study was designed to evaluate the secondary microglial activation processes after spinal cord injury (sci). methods: a quantitative histological study was performed to determine ed-1 positive cells, glial cell density, and cavitation size in untreated sci rats at days 1, 2, and 4, and weeks 1, 2, 3, and 4. results: the results of glial cell quantification along the 4900...

spinal cord injury (sci) in humans remains a devastating and incurable disorder. a very important obstacle in axonal regeneration after spinal cord injury is astroglial scaring. the use of self-assembling peptide nanofiber, a hydrogel mimicking extracellular matrix, has been suggested as a scaffold for spinal cord regeneration and inhibition of astrogliosis. however, neurogenesis potential of l...

Introduction: The use of standard rodent model, allows for the understanding of neuronal injury physiopathology and helping development of therapeutic strategies. Because of eliminating technical problems, we designed a modified impactor device with ability to induce different degrees according to kilodyne from very mild to very severe of spinal cord injury (SCI) and traumatic brain injury (TBI...

Introduction: Spinal cord injuries (SCI) lead to permanent irreversible functional deficits.  Poor prognosis of patients is the motivation of searching a treatment for the chronic injury.  Planting stem cells provides us with a promising strategy. In the meanwhile, the use of olfactory ensheathing cells (OECs) has shown very good results.  This study aims at evaluating the effe...

Introduction: Spinal cord injury (SCI) is one of the most serious clinical diseases, which not only affects the patient's physical and mental status, but its effects will be spread to family and community. After severe spinal cord injury, astrocytes of the central nervous system (CNS) become reactive astrocytes, and play the main role of glial scar formation. The scar is a major obstacle to r...

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a complex disease that affects not only sensory and motor pathways below the neurological level of (NLI) but also all organs systems situated this NLI. This multisystem impairment implies comprehensive management in dedicated SCI specialized centers, by interdisciplinary multidisciplinary teams, able to treat impairment, affected. After brief history Cord Medicine, a...
