Repair of spinal cord injuries in mice using peripheral nerve and activited macrophages transplantation / 中国矫形外科杂志

ABSTRACT

[Objective]To explore the effect of spinal cord injury(SCI) repair by peripheral nerve combined with activitied macrophages graft.[Method]Fistly the preparation of the activated macrophages and fabrication of the peripheral nerve were done.81 BALB/C mice were grouped in A,B,C,D groups randomly after their spinal cord were hemi-resected.20 mice of group A were dealed with activated macrophages graft;20 of group B were dealed with peripheral nerve graft;21 of group C were transplanted both two graftes;20 of group D were contral group.Each of the 4 groups was respectively divided into 3 subgroups randomly.7 of subgroup 1 were investigated by their restoration of the motor function and improvement of the somatosensory evoked potential(SEP).7 of subgroup 2 were tabken for histological examination.The spinal cords were fixed and cut into longitudinal frozen sections,and were immuneostained and stained with hematoxylin and eosin(HE).The numbers of cells or neurofilaments were counted under microscope.6 of subgroup 3(7 of C3)were used as complement ones.All the results were recorded from 1 to 12 weeks postoperative and analyzed statistically using the SPSS 12.0 software package.[Result]The BBB scale and the SEP wavethere was a significant difference between group C1 and the other three groups,there was a significant difference between group A1,B1 and D1,too(ONE WAY ANOVA,P
