RESUMO
Traumatic brain injury(TBI), also known as intracranial injury or head trauma, specifically refers to the brain tissue damage caused by trauma.Currently the mechanism of TBI and repair therapy after nerve injury become a hotspot in brain research.Duplicating animal models plays a significant role in promoting experimental therapeutics of TBI.This review systematically describes the progress in animal models for TBI including impact brain injury, nonimpact acceleration head injury and blast(explosion)wave-induced neurotrauma, which have been established at home and abroad.Based upon the aforementioned models, some relevant applications in experimental therapeutics are simultaneously enumerated.Hopefully all these information provides scientific guidance for the pharmacodynamic screening of potential neuroprotective drugs.
RESUMO
The mechanism of spinal cord injury and repair therapy after nerve injury is currently a hotspot of neuroscience research.Duplicating animal models plays a key role in experimental therapeutics of spinal cord injury.This review systematically describes the progress in animal models for spinal cord injury including contusion, compression, transection, ischemic,distraction and chemical-mediated injury,which have been established at home and abroad.Based upon the aforementioned models,some applications in experimental therapeutics are simultaneously enumerated.All these information provides scientific guidance for the experimental novel drugs′screening.
