Reduction in ER stress-induced spinal cord injury was achieved by the administration of 4-PBA. 4-PBA may be a strong candidate for use as a therapeutic agent in the treatment of ischemic spinal cord injury.
In a rabbit model with aortic clamping up to 30 minutes, which consistently produces complete paraplegia in rabbits, spinal cord damage was partially reduced by topical cooling with transvertebral cooling pads or the injection of edaravone into the clamped segment of aorta, but was more effectively protected by a combined use of these two strategies.
Cold blood infusion accelerates motor-evoked potential changes and might enable decision making regarding the need for reconstruction of multidetector computed tomography-defined Adamkiewicz arteries. Cold blood-loaded motor-evoked potential is beneficial to minimize Adamkiewicz artery reconstruction time and limit spinal cord ischemia.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
