脊髓损伤(spinal cord injury,SCI)是神经系统最严重的创伤之一,其所造成的高致残率和严重并发症,给个人、家庭和社会均造成巨大负担。脊髓损伤后,由于原发性损伤和继发性损伤等一系列病理变化,使轴突再生和受损神经元的重塑变得非常困难,其中微环境的紊乱是导致二次损伤恢复的主要障碍。脊髓损伤治疗的药物选择对于其预后有较大影响。其中,生长因子(growth factors,GFs)在中枢神经系统发育与损伤修复中具有重要的调控作用。目前,利用GFs干预治疗锯齿动物SCI后的结构和功能恢复方面,包括神经发生、轴突生长、神经保护和再生,促进血管生成、组织修复、保护内源性神经干细胞等方面已取得较为满意的效果,为SCI的临床治疗提供了良好的应用前景。随着对GFs的研究深入,单一的GFs难以满足脊髓损伤后复杂的生理病理变化。因此,探索多种GFs的联合应用以期达到协同的神经再生和功能恢复,是目前治疗SCI的重要策略之一。由于GFs是大分子蛋白质类药物,存在半衰期短,以及原位注射在损伤部位易流失等缺点限制了GFs的临床应用。因此,很多研究将GFs结合不同生物材料治疗SCI,以此克服GFs本身的缺陷,并进一步延长该类药物的修复效果。本综述归纳总结了几种典型的GFs对SCI修复的研究进展和可能的作用机制,并展望不同的生物材料结合GFs提高SCI修复效果的未来发展前景。  相似文献

坐骨神经损伤是临床常见的周围神经疾病。神经损伤后再生肌肉和运动神经元会出现各种功能障碍,虽然其中一部分因素已被阐明,但多局限于受损神经局部,而对于再生后脊髓运动神经元的回返性抑制(recurrent inhibition,RI)通路的功能变化却很少被报道。本文研究大鼠短暂坐骨神经损伤后,恢复神经再支配(reinnervation)情况下,脊髓RI通路的功能变化。在正常或坐骨神经挤压(crush)受损后的成年大鼠上,通过刺激离断的脊髓背根(L5),在外侧腓肠肌-比目鱼肌(lateral gas-trocnemius-soleus,LG-S)神经或内侧腓肠肌(medial gastrocnemius,MG)神经记录单突触反射(monosynaptic reflex,MSR),并同时在另一神经给予条件性刺激,以检测LG-S和MG运动神经元间RI的变化。结果显示:(1)脊髓运动神经元的RI在坐骨神经挤压受损后即基本丢失(<5周),至损伤6周后部分恢复至正常的50%,并至少维持至损伤14周后;(2)一侧的坐骨神经损伤对对侧的RI没有影响;(3)外周神经损伤后,免疫组织化学方法显示脊髓运动神经元数目本身并不发生减少。以上...  相似文献

脊髓损伤是一个重要的公共卫生难题,脊髓损伤可划分为三个病理生理阶段:原发性损伤期、继发性损伤期和慢性损伤期。基因表达的改变在脊髓损伤中起到了重要作用,miRNAs可以调控转录后所有基因的表达,所以miRNAs是脊髓损伤中一个很具有研究价值的研究对象。miRNAs是20-25碱基组成的非编码RNA,通过与靶mRNAs 3‘UTR结合下调其表达实现的对mRNA翻译进程的调控。miRNAs与中枢神经系统的发育、功能和疾病有密切关系。脊髓损伤后miRNAs通过调节中性粒细胞和炎性反应通路在炎性应答中起到了重要作用;miRNAs在细胞凋亡中表现出了复杂的功能,其表达的改变可能同时刺激和抑制凋亡;miRNAs可通过增强星形胶质细胞肥大和调节胶质瘢痕的进程;miRNAs的下调可能通过促进轴突靶向作用、神经元存活和轴突生长来促进损伤脊髓部位再生进程。目前脊髓损伤仍是现代医学的难题,对神经系统疾病中miRNAs作用的研究,为脊髓损伤治疗提供了一种新的治疗方案,也是将来研究中的热点。  相似文献

Restoration of movement following spinal cord injury (SCI) has been achieved using electrical stimulation of peripheral nerves and skeletal muscles. However, practical limitations such as the rapid onset of muscle fatigue hinder clinical application of these technologies. Recently, direct stimulation of alpha motor neurons has shown promise for evoking graded, controlled, and sustained muscle contractions in rodent and feline animal models while overcoming some of these limitations. However, small animal models are not optimal for the development of clinical spinal stimulation techniques for functional restoration of movement. Furthermore, variance in surgical procedure, targeting, and electrode implantation techniques can compromise therapeutic outcomes and impede comparison of results across studies. Herein, we present a protocol and large animal model that allow standardized development, testing, and optimization of novel clinical strategies for restoring motor function following spinal cord injury. We tested this protocol using both epidural and intraspinal stimulation in a porcine model of spinal cord injury, but the protocol is suitable for the development of other novel therapeutic strategies. This protocol will help characterize spinal circuits vital for selective activation of motor neuron pools. In turn, this will expedite the development and validation of high-precision therapeutic targeting strategies and stimulation technologies for optimal restoration of motor function in humans.  相似文献

The effects of mechanoreceptor stimulation and subsequent ATP release in spinal cord injured and normal bladders was examined to demonstrate if spinal cord injury (SCI) modulates the basal or evoked release of ATP from bladder urothelium and whether intravesical botulinum toxin A (BTX-A) administration inhibits urothelial ATP release, a measure of sensory nerve activation. A Ussing chamber was used to isolate and separately measure resting and mechanoreceptor evoked (e.g. hypoosmotic stimulation) ATP release from urothelial and serosal sides of the bladder. Following spinal cord injury, resting urothelial release of ATP was ninefold higher than that of normal rats. Botulinum toxin A instillation did not significantly affect the resting release of ATP after spinal cord injury. Evoked ATP release following hypoosmotic stimulation was significantly higher in chronic spinal cord injured compared to normal rat bladders. However, botulinum toxin A treatment markedly reduced ATP release in spinal cord injured bladders by 53% suggesting that ATP release by mechanoreceptor stimulation, as opposed to basal release, occurs by exocytotic mechanisms. In contrast, there was no significant difference in basal or evoked ATP release from bladder serosa following spinal cord injury. Moreover, intravesical instillation of botulinum toxin A did not affect ATP release from the serosal side after spinal cord injury, suggesting that its effects were confined to the urothelial side of the bladder preparation. In summary: (1) increased release of ATP from the urothelium of spinal cord injured bladders may contribute to the development of bladder hyperactivity and, (2) mechanoreceptor stimulated vesicular ATP release, as opposed to basal non-vesicular release of ATP, is significantly inhibited in spinal cord injured bladders by intravesical instillation of botulinum toxin A. These results may have important relevance in our understanding of the mechanisms underlying plasticity of bladder afferent pathways following SCI.  相似文献

Injury-induced overexpression of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) in the spinal cord can induce chronic neuroinflammation and excitotoxicity that ultimately undermines functional recovery. Here we investigate how TNFα might also act to upset spinal function by modulating spinal plasticity. Using a model of instrumental learning in the injured spinal cord, we have previously shown that peripheral intermittent stimulation can produce a plastic change in spinal plasticity (metaplasticity), resulting in the prolonged inhibition of spinal learning. We hypothesized that spinal metaplasticity may be mediated by TNFα. We found that intermittent stimulation increased protein levels in the spinal cord. Using intrathecal pharmacological manipulations, we showed TNFα to be both necessary and sufficient for the long-term inhibition of a spinal instrumental learning task. These effects were found to be dependent on glial production of TNFα and involved downstream alterations in calcium-permeable AMPA receptors. These findings suggest a crucial role for glial TNFα in undermining spinal learning, and demonstrate the therapeutic potential of inhibiting TNFα activity to rescue and restore adaptive spinal plasticity to the injured spinal cord. TNFα modulation represents a novel therapeutic target for improving rehabilitation after spinal cord injury.  相似文献

Functional electrical stimulation can be used to enable spinal cord injured children to participate in cycling training as part of a fitness programme or exercise testing procedure. Exercise can reduce the impact of secondary health conditions due to the injury. Functional electrical stimulation has shown promising results in adults with a spinal cord injury, but additional considerations are needed to realise the method for the child with spinal cord injury, partly owing to their limited force producing capacity. An electric motor provides a practical means of performing cycling at controlled cadences, exercising for longer durations and can also be used for recreational outdoor cycling. Here, a novel real-time control technique is developed for cadence regulation during cycling. A feedback control structure is developed based on an empirical model derived from separate identification tests and pole placement and then verified in a series of reference-tracking tests. The system produced cadence responses in close agreement with reference values in all cases and demonstrated satisfactory robustness of stability characteristics. This approach moves towards the practical application of the technology as a training tool for paediatric spinal cord injured subjects.  相似文献

Animal models of spinal cord contusion injuries.   总被引:22,自引:0,他引:22  
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Traumatic spinal cord injury causes initial mechanical disruption of tissue, leading to a complex secondary sequence of pathophysiologic changes and neurologic impairment. These sequelae depend on the impact force delivered to the spinal cord at the time of injury. Successful clinical evaluation of the efficacy of any therapeutic regimen depends on the reliability and reproducibility of an experimental animal model. We describe a trauma device and the biomechanical parameters required to induce severe or moderate spinal cord contusion injury in cats and rats. METHODS: Recovery after injury was determined by behavioral, electrophysiologic, and histologic evaluations. RESULTS: Behavioral and electrophysiologic tests after injury clearly identified the experimental groups. A stable severe paraplegic state (defined as 6 months for cats and 8 weeks for rats), without evidence of behavioral or electrophysiologic recovery, was induced by a 65-Newton (N) load for cats and a 35-N load for rats. Moderate spinal cord contusion injury, from which cats and rats partially recovered after approximately 3 months and 4 weeks, respectively, was induced by a 45- and 25-N load, respectively. CONCLUSION: Use of these injury conditions provides reliable animal models for studies designed to evaluate potential therapeutic regimens for spinal cord injury.  相似文献

The majority of spinal cord injured males cannot procreate naturally due to anejaculation as well as abnormal sperm characteristics. Treatment of this impaired fertility must be associated with treatment of neurogenic urinary tract disorders, bowel dysfunction and spasticity. The level of the spinal lesion and the spinal cord injury syndrome influence the possibility of inducing reflex ejaculation by penile vibratory stimulation and sperm quality.  相似文献

Immunomodulatory human mesenchymal stromal cells (hMSC) have been incorporated into therapeutic protocols to treat secondary inflammatory responses post-spinal cord injury (SCI) in animal models. However, limitations with direct hMSC implantation approaches may prevent effective translation for therapeutic development of hMSC infusion into post-SCI treatment protocols. To circumvent these limitations, we investigated the efficacy of alginate microencapsulation in developing an implantable vehicle for hMSC delivery. Viability and secretory function were maintained within the encapsulated hMSC population, and hMSC secreted anti-inflammatory cytokines upon induction with the pro-inflammatory factors, TNF-α and IFN-γ. Furthermore, encapsulated hMSC modulated inflammatory macrophage function both in vitro and in vivo, even in the absence of direct hMSC-macrophage cell contact and promoted the alternative M2 macrophage phenotype. In vitro, this was evident by a reduction in macrophage iNOS expression with a concomitant increase in CD206, a marker for M2 macrophages. Finally, Sprague-Dawley rat spinal cords were injured at vertebra T10 via a weight drop model (NYU model) and encapsulated hMSC were administered via lumbar puncture 24 h post-injury. Encapsulated hMSC localized primarily in the cauda equina of the spinal cord. Histological assessment of spinal cord tissue 7 days post-SCI indicated that as few as 5 × 10(4) encapsulated hMSC yielded increased numbers of CD206-expressing macrophages, consistent with our in vitro studies. The combined findings support the inclusion of immobilized hMSC in post-CNS trauma tissue protective therapy, and suggest that conversion of macrophages to the M2 subset is responsible, at least in part, for tissue protection.  相似文献

The effect of partial and complete spinal cord transection (Th7–Th8) on locomotor activity evoked in decerebrated cats by electrical epidural stimulation (segment L5, 80–100 μA, 0.5 ms at 5 Hz) has been investigated. Transection of dorsal columns did not substantially influence the locomotion. Disruption of the ventral spinal quadrant resulted in deterioration and instability of the locomotor rhythm. Injury to lateral or medial descending motor systems led to redistribution of the tone in antagonist muscles. Locomotion could be evoked by epidural stimulation within 20 h after complete transection of the spinal cord. The restoration of polysynaptic components in EMG responses correlated with recovery of the stepping function. The data obtained confirm that initiation of locomotion under epidural stimulation is caused by direct action on intraspinal systems responsible for locomotor regulation. With intact or partially injured spinal cord, this effect is under the influence of supraspinal motor systems correcting and stabilizing the evoked locomotor pattern.  相似文献

Compression injuries of the murine spinal cord are valuable animal models for the study of spinal cord injury (SCI) and spinal regenerative therapy. The calibrated forceps model of compression injury is a convenient, low cost, and very reproducible animal model for SCI. We used a pair of modified forceps in accordance with the method published by Plemel et al. (2008) to laterally compress the spinal cord to a distance of 0.35 mm. In this video, we will demonstrate a dorsal laminectomy to expose the spinal cord, followed by compression of the spinal cord with the modified forceps. In the video, we will also address issues related to the care of paraplegic laboratory animals. This injury model produces mice that exhibit impairment in sensation, as well as impaired hindlimb locomotor function. Furthermore, this method of injury produces consistent aberrations in the pathology of the SCI, as determined by immunohistochemical methods. After watching this video, viewers should be able to determine the necessary supplies and methods for producing SCI of various severities in the mouse for studies on SCI and/or treatments designed to mitigate impairment after injury.  相似文献
