ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effect of intraspinal grafting of brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) ex vivo transgene myoblasts cells and methylprednisolone on caspase-3 expression after spinal cord injury (SCI). Methods A total of 120 experimental rats were divided into Group A (spinal cord contusion injury group), Group B (grafting of BDNF ex vivo transgene myoblasts cells group), Group C (methylprednisolone intravenous injection group) and Group D (grafting of BDNF ex vivo transgene myoblasts cells and methylprednisolone intravenous injection group). At days 1, 3, 7, 14 and 28 respectively after SCI, the expression of caspase-3 was measured immunohistochemically for quantitative analysis via a computer image analysis system. The motion functional recovery of the rats was observed by praxiologic and electrophysiologic examination. Results Positive expression cells of caspase-3 were found in all groups, with number from the highest to the lowest in order of Group A, Group B, Group C and Group D (P
