Occasionally, there will be two or more noncontiguous areas of pyogenic collections [1]. Minimal cases have been reported to span the entire vertebral column;a meta-analysis estimates that 1% of all SEA are holospinal [2]. The triad of presenting symptoms includes fever, back pain (often midline), and neurologic defects [1] [2] [3]. Early detection is identified as a critical aspect of improved outcomes. Cases that do not present in this manner or with other masking symptoms can lead to delayed diagnosis, thus delaying treatment. In the event of cord compression, the occurrence of neurologic defects increases. Time from the onset of clinical manifestations to the operating room is crucial in reversing symptoms [2]. This article seeks to review a case of a 65-year-old male that presented to the emergency department (ED) due to a falling second to weakness and thigh pain. On presentation, he was also noted to have rhabdomyolysis causing acute kidney injury (AKI) with tubular necrosis. The patient was admitted to the hospital with a complex history of progressive leg weakness, pain in the lower back, incontinence, and elevated white blood cell count. Days into the admission, a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) study was performed, which revealed a continuous posterior SEA from C4 to S2 with anterior mass effect causing spinal cord compression. Emergency neurosurgery was scheduled for laminectomies in the cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine to drain the abscess. Evaluation of this complex medical course, surgical approach to drainage of an incessant spinal column abscess, and sustained neurologic defects will be discussed. 展开更多

Chronic spinal cord compression(CSCC)is induced by disc herniation and other reasons,leading to movement and sensation dysfunction,with a serious impact on quality of life.Spontaneous disc herniation rarely occurs in rodents,and therefore establishing a chronic spinal cord compression(CSCC)animal model is of crucial importance to explore the pathogenesis and treatment of CSCC.The absence of secreted protein,acidic,and rich in cysteine(SPARC)leads to spontaneous intervertebral disc degeneration in mice,which resembles human disc degeneration.In this study,we evaluated whether SPARC-null mice may serve as an animal model for CSCC.We performed rod rotation test,pain threshold test,gait analysis,and Basso Mouse Scale score.Our results showed that the motor function of SPARC-null mice was weakened,and magnetic resonance images revealed compression at different spinal cord levels,particularly in the lumbar segments.Immunofluorescence staining and western blot assay showed that the absence of SPARC induced apoptosis of neurons and oligodendrocytes,activation of microglia/macrophages with M1/M2 phenotype and astrocytes with A1/A2 phenotype;it also activated the expression of the NOD-like receptor protein 3 inflammasome and inhibited brain-derived neurotrophic factor/tyrosine kinase B signaling pathway.Notably,these findings are characteristics of CSCC.Therefore,we propose that SPARC-null mice may be an animal model for studying CSCC caused by disc herniation. 展开更多

Introduction: Metastatic spinal tumors (MST) refer to secondary involvement of the vertebral column by hematogenously-disseminated metastatic cells. They could affect either the bony structures or the spinal cords. Mechanical instability and neurologic deficits resulting from spinal cord compression are the most common manifestations. Surgical intervention remains the most effective treatment for about 20% of patients who present with spinal cord compression. The prognosis is relatively poor. This work has as objectives to describe: the diagnostic tools, the different modalities of management and the prognostic elements of spine metastasis. Methodology: We conducted an ambispective cross-sectional descriptive study;with retrospective data collection from January 2015 to December 2021 and prospective collection from January to April 2022 in the “Neurosurgery” unit of the Yaounde Central Hospital and the “Oncology and Neurosurgery” units of Yaounde General Hospital. Result: We included 101 patients. The M/F sex ratio was 1.66. The average age of the participants was 56.44 years (±14.19 SD) with a median of 58 years. Metastatic spinal tumors were discovered in 61.39% of patients with a previously known primary tumor and 21.78% of patients had newly discovered tumors. The neurologic examination revealed a vertebral syndrome in 79.21% of cases, radicular syndrome in 60.40% and sub-lesional syndrome in 59.89%. Sensory disorders accounted for 39.60% and sphincter disorders accounted for 34.65%. According to the degree of severity, the lesions were classified as Frankel E (37.62%) followed by Frankel D (21.78%). Metastatic lesions were mostly found at the thoracic vertebrae (68.25%) and lumbar vertebrae (22.22%). The most represented primary tumors were: prostate tumors (41.58%) and breast tumors (23.76%);followed by malignant hemopathies (15.84%). Computed-tomography scan (CT-scan) was the most frequent diagnostic imaging technique used (71.28%). Analgesic treatment mostly involved level II analgesia (64.36%). High dose steroid therapy (greater than 80mg/24h) was used in more than half of the patients. Radiation therapy was performed in 24.75% of the patients, chemotherapy in 55.44% and specific surgical interventions performed in 20.79%. The most frequent surgical indication was complete motor deficit according to the Frankel classification (47.21%). One patient in four (23.76%) experienced improvement in functional prognosis with increased muscle strength after a period of 2 weeks to 5 months of treatment. About 1 in 10 patients (8.8%) rather had worsening of their neurologic status. We observed that there was a correlation between spine surgery and improvement in muscle strength (P-value less than 0.05). Patients (12) who had better recovery or preserved gait were those with partial compression (P-value = 0.0143). Four out of five patients (81.18%) of our series had an estimated survival of less than one year according to the Tokuhashi score. Conclusion: MSTs are frequent in our context. Most patients sought consultation late after the first symptoms appeared (principally back pain). The clinical examination revealed a high proportion of patients with spinal cord compression syndrome. Medical treatment was first-line for the management of pain and most patients who underwent surgical treatment had complete neurologic deficits. The functional prognosis was found to be improved by surgery and the vital prognosis depended on the Tokuhashi score, with better accuracy when the prediction is more than 12 months. 展开更多

BACKGROUND: Studies have demonstrated that the mechanisms underlying cellular apoptosis signal transduction focus on two pathways: intracellular mitochondria and extracellular death receptor. The current evidence supports that signal transduction of cellular apoptosis also includes endoplasmic reticulum stress signal transduction. OBJECTIVE: To observe Caspase-12 expression and cellular apoptosis following ischemia in rats with progressive spinal cord compression, and to verify the influence of endoplasmic reticulum stress on the apoptosis induced by spinal cord injury. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: A randomized, controlled, animal trial was performed at the Institute of Neuroscience in Chongqing Medical University between January and October in 2006. MATERIALS: Immunohistochemical kit, diaminobenzidine, and TUNEL kit were purchased from Beijing Zhongshan Biotechnology, China; rabbit anti-rat Caspase-12 monoclonal antibody was provided by Santa Cruz, USA. METHODS: Sixty Wistar rats, aged 3-4 months, were randomly assigned to a model group (n = 50), which underwent spinal cord compression in the L1 segment following L1 laminectomy and articular process excision to establish a model of progressive spinal cord compression, and a sham-surgery group (n = 10), which underwent only laminectomy. Starting with the first day after surgery, the rats were locally anesthetized, the skin was opened, and the screw was rotated by 1/4 of a cycle, twice weekly. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: At 3, 7, 14, 21, and 28 days after surgery, rats from each group were anesthetized, and the spinal cords were resected. Pathological changes following spinal cord compression were determined using hematoxylin-eosin staining, Nissl dye, and transmission electron microscopy. The TUNEL method was used to observe neuronal apoptosis in the compressed spinal cord segments. Immunohistochemistry and Western blot were utilized to detect Caspase-12 expression in the compressed segments. RESULTS: Cellular swelling, neural degeneration, and altered endoplasmic reticulum structures were observed at 3 days following compression. Symptoms became gradually aggravated with increasing compression time. Compared with the sham-surgery group, the number of apoptotic neurons was remarkably increased in compressed segments of the model group (P 〈 0.05), and Caspase-12 expression was also shown to increase (P 〈 0.05). CONCLUSION: Neuronal apoptosis was a predominant pathological factor resulting in secondary spinal cord injury during progressive spinal cord compression, and Caspase-12 was shown to be possibly involved in neuronal apoptosis induced by progressive spinal cord compression. 展开更多

Bone metastases are rare in primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Spinal cord compression (SCC) due to bone metastases occur commonly in patients with lung and breast carcinomas, and metastatic HCC is an unusual cause of SCC. Spinal cord compression is an oncologic emergency and treatment delays can lead to irreversible consequences. Thus, the awareness that SCC could be a potential complication of bone metastases due to HCC is of significance in initiation of early treatment that can improve the quality of life and survival of the patients, if diagnosed earlier. This paper describes four cases of primary HCC with varied manifestations of SCC due to bone metastases. The first patient presented primarily with the symptoms of bone pains corresponding to the bone metastases sites rather than symptoms of associated hepatic pathology and eventually developed SCC. The second patient, diagnosed as having HCC, developed extradural SCC leading to paraplegia during the course of illness, for which he underwent emergency laminectomy with posterior fixation. The third patient developed SCC soon after the primary diagnosis and had to undergo emergency laminectomy. Post laminectomy he had good neurological recovery. The Fourth patient presented primarily with radicular pains rather than frank paraplegia as the first manifestation of SCC. 展开更多

Non-traumatic injury accounts for approximately half of clinical spinal cord injury, including chronic spinal cord compression. However, previous rodent spinal cord compression models are mainly designed for rats, few are available for mice. Our aim is to develop a thoracic progressive compression mice model of spinal cord injury. In this study, adult wild-type C57BL/6 mice were divided into two groups: in the surgery group, a screw was inserted at T9 lamina to compress the spinal cord, and the compression was increased by turning it further into the canal(0.2 mm) post-surgery every 2 weeks up to 8 weeks. In the control group, a hole was drilled into the lamina without inserting a screw. The results showed that Basso Mouse Scale scores were lower and gait worsened. In addition, the degree of hindlimb dysfunction in mice was consistent with the degree of spinal cord compression. The number of motor neurons in the anterior horn of the spinal cord was reduced in all groups of mice, whereas astrocytes and microglia were gradually activated and proliferated. In conclusion, this progressive compression of thoracic spinal cord injury in mice is a preferable model for chronic progressive spinal cord compression injury. 展开更多

Background context:Metastatic spinal cord compression(MSCC)seriously affects the survival rate.Objective:The therapeutic effects of two treatment strategies for MSCC:percutaneous vertebroplasty(PVP)combined with radiofrequency ablation(RFA)and PVP combined with^(125)I particle implantation,were compared.Study design:Retrospective study.Patient sample:40 patients with MSCC were divided into two groups:19 cases in the RFA group and 21 cases in the^(125)I group.Method:All patients were accessed to determine the differences in pain,which was evaluated using the visual analog scale(VAS)at 1 week,1 month,and 3 months after the operation,and spinal stenosis rates(SSRs),which were measured at 1 and 3 months after the operation,between the two groups.Results:The VAS scores and SSRs at baseline were comparable between the RFA group and the^(125)I group(7.19±2.07 vs 7.42±1.95,37.7%±11.2%vs 41.1%±11.4%).The VAS scores and SSRs at 1 month and 3 months after the operation were significantly reduced in both groups,compared with those at baseline.The VAS scores and SSRs in the^(125)I group were lower than those in the RFA group at 3 months after the operation(1.09±0.97 vs 1.75±1.06 p=0.048 and 12.3%±6.4%vs 18.1%±10.1%p=0.034),while the VAS scores at1 week after the operation in the RFA group were lower than those in the^(125)I group(4.39±1.34 vs 5.05±1.82 p=0.049).Conclusion:PVP combined with RFA has a slight advantage in relieving pain in the short term,while PVP combined with^(125)I particle implantation may have a better effect in the relieving pain and decreasing the SSRs at 3 months after the operation. 展开更多

Chronic compressive spinal cord injury in compressive cervical myelopathy conditions can lead to rapid neurological deterioration in the early phase,followed by partial self-recovery,and ultimately an equilibrium state of neurological dysfunction.Ferroptosis is a crucial pathological process in many neurodegenerative diseases;however,its role in chro nic compressive spinal cord injury remains unclear.In this study,we established a chronic compressive spinal cord injury rat model,which displayed its most severe behavioral and electrophysiological dysfunction at 4 wee ks and partial recovery at 8 weeks after compression.Bulk RNA sequencing data identified enriched functional pathways,including ferroptosis,presynapse,and postsynaptic membrane activity at both 4 and 8 wee ks following chro nic compressive spinal co rd injury.Tra nsmission electron microscopy and malondialdehyde quantification assay confirmed that ferroptosis activity peaked at 4 weeks and was attenuated at 8 weeks after chronic compression.Ferro ptosis activity was negatively correlated with behavioral score.Immunofluorescence,quantitative polymerase chain reaction,and western blotting showed that expression of the anti-ferroptosis molecules,glutathione peroxidase 4(GPX4) and MAF BZIP transcription factor G(MafG),in neuro ns was suppressed at 4 weeks and upregulated at 8 weeks following spinal co rd compression.There was a positive correlation between the expression of these two molecules,suggesting that they may work together to contribute to functional recovery following chronic compressive spinal cord injury.In conclusion,our study determined the genome-wide expression profile and fe rroptosis activity of a consistently compressed spinal cord at different time points.The results showed that anti-fe rroptosis genes,specifically GPX4 and MafG,may be involved in spontaneous neurological recovery at 8 weeks of chronic compressive spinal cord injury.These findings contribute to a better understanding of the mechanisms underlying chronic compressive spinal cord injury and may help identify new therapeutic targets for compressive cervical myelopathy. 展开更多

BACKGROUND Intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia(IPEH)is a rare benign reactive vascular lesion that grows into an expansile compressing mass.It most commonly involves the skin and subcutaneous tissue.Spinal involvement is rare,with only 11 reported cases in the literature.We report,to our knowledge,the first case of IPEH in the cervicothoracic spinal canal and present a literature review.CASE SUMMARY A 27-year-old man presented with acute-onset neck pain,numbness,and weakness in his extremities.Magnetic resonance imaging showed an epidural mass in the cervicothoracic(C6-T1)spinal canal and vertebral hemangioma(VH)involving the C7 vertebral body.C6-T1 Laminectomy and radical excision of the mass were performed.Histopathological examinations revealed papillary proliferation of vascular endothelial cells with thrombus formation,and an IPEH diagnosis was made.By his 6-mo follow-up appointment,his symptoms were relieved without recurrence.The possible pathogenesis,clinical and imaging features,differential diagnosis,and management of IPEH were reviewed.CONCLUSION We report,to our knowledge,the first case of IPEH in the cervicothoracic spinal canal,treated via complete resection,and showing a favorable outcome.We found a causal relationship between spinal IPEH and VH;this partly explains the mechanism of IPEH. 展开更多

BACKGROUND As an extramedullary form of proliferating myeloblasts,granulocytic sarcoma(GS)is common in patients with acute myeloid leukemia.GS in the central nervous system is rare,and an intraspinal space-occupying lesion caused by GS is even rarer.Surgical decompression is often necessary to remove the intraspinal space-occupying lesion.To the best of our knowledge,we report,for the first time a case of GS that caused extensive compression in the spinal canal without surgical decompression treatment.CASE SUMMARY A 15-year-old male suddenly developed numbness and weakness in his lower limbs for 10 d,which affected his walking ability.Acute myeloid leukemia was later diagnosed in the Department of Hematology.Magnetic resonance imaging revealed that multiple segmental space-occupying lesions were causing severe spinal cord compression in the thoracic spinal canal.As a result,the patient received routine chemotherapy before surgery.Interestingly,the intraspinal space-occupying lesions completely diminished on magnetic resonance imaging after a course of chemotherapy,and the sensation and strength in his lower limbs markedly recovered.CONCLUSION An intraspinal space-occupying lesion could be the first symptom of acute myeloid leukemia,causing spinal nerve compression without any other symptoms.Following standard chemotherapy,spinal canal compression can be quickly relieved,and the spinal cord and nerve function restored,avoiding emergency surgery. 展开更多

Objective:The optimal treatment of patients with metastatic spinal cord compression(MSCC) is still being debated.This randomized trial was planned to compare the functional outcome and its related prognostic factors,toxicity and in-field recurrence of the three schedules of radiotherapy.Methods:Two hundred and eighty five patients enrolled in the study of which 95 received 1 × 8 Gy,100 received 10 x 3 Gy and 90 received the radiation treatment of 20 × 2 Gy.Irradiation was performed with 6-10 Mv linear accelerators or cobalt-60 units by single posterior field or parallel opposed fields according to depth of irradiation spines.Premedication with dexamethasone was started from the first day of clinico-radiologic diagnosis till 4-5 days after the end of radiotherapy(RT) then tapered off during 10 days.Potential prognostic factors were evaluated with respect to functional outcome.Results:All groups were balanced for patient's characteristics and potential prognostic factors.No statistically significant difference was observed between the 3 groups as regard functional outcome and toxicity while single fraction was associated with higher in-field recurrences(22.8%) with statistically significant difference between the 3 groups(P = 0.01).Functional outcome was significantly better with younger age(≤ 60 y),Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status(ECOG-PS) of 1-2,involved vertebra of 1-2,favorable tumor type,absence of visceral or other bone metastasis,decreased time of developing motor deficit before radiotherapy,long interval between cancer diagnosis to metastatic spinal cord compression,and normal ambulatory status.Conclusion:The three schedules provided similar functional outcome.Single-radiation dose was associated with higher in-field recurrence.To minimize treatment time and costs,the dose of 1 × 8 Gy is recommended for patients with poor predicated survival and 10 × 3 Gy for other patients. 展开更多

We present the case of a 39-year-old patient admitted for a slow thoracic spinal cord compression syndrome associated with lumbar rachialgia. CT scan and MRI of the thoracic spine showed lysis of T4, T5, T6 and T7 vertebrae, an epiduritis and paravertebral abscesses. CT scan of the lumbar spine demonstrated osteolysis of the left iliac wing with skin invasion. This lesion infiltrated the sacrum and the body of L5. The iliac lesion was biopsied and the analysis revealed a granulomatous osteitis caused by Histoplasma duboisii. The treatment consisted of ketoconazole 400 mg daily for six months. Spinal decompressive surgery was not performed. Following antifungal treatment the patient had satisfying clinical and radiological outcome. After three years’ follow-up, the clinical course was uneventful. The patient had neither symptoms of spinal cord compression nor signs of further localizations. 展开更多

The duplication of animal models plays a key role in spinal cord injury research; however, there has been limited study into normal, external force-derived fracture dislocation. This study adopted experimental devices, designed in-house, to construct standardized ventral and dorsal spinal cord injury animal models of 6 g and 17 g falling from a height of 2, 4, and 10 cm, and 15, 30 or 50 g transversal compression on the spinal cord. The results showed that gradual increases in the degree of histopathological injury led to decreased Tarlov and Basso, Beattie and Bresnahan scores for the behavioral test, and increased Ashworth scores for the hind limb. Furthermore, there was a gradual decline in the slope test in the rats with dorsal spinal cord injury that correlated to increases in the falling substance weight or falling height. Similar alterations were observed in the ventral spinal cord injured rats, proportional to the increase in compression weight. Our experimental findings indicate that the standardized experimental rat models of dorsal and ventral spinal cord injury are stable, reliable and reproducible. 展开更多

Magnetic resonance diffusion tensor imaging has been shown to quantitatively measure the early pathological changes in chronic cervical spondylotic myelopathy. In this study, a novel spongy poly- urethane material was implanted in the rat C^-s epidural space to establish a rat model of chronic cervical spondylotic myelopathy. Diffusion tensor data were used to predict pathological changes. Results revealed that the fractional anisotropy value gradually decreased at 4, 24, and 72 hours and 1 week after injury in rat spinal cord, showing a time-dependent manner. Average diffusion coeffi- cient increased at 72 hours and 1 week after implantation. Hematoxylin-eosin staining and Luxol-fast-blue staining exhibited that the number of neurons in the anterior horn of the spinal cord gray matter and the nerve fiber density of the white matter gradually reduced with prolonged com- pression time. Neuronal loss was most significant at 1 week after injury. Results verified that the fractional anisotropy value and average diffusion coefficient reflected the degree of pathological change in the site of compression in rat models at various time points after chronic spinal cord compression injury, which potentially has a reference value in the early diagnosis of chronic cervical spondylotic myelopathy. 展开更多

BACKGROUND The spine is the most common location of metastatic diseases.Treating a metastatic spinal tumor depends on many factors,including patients’overall health and life expectancy.The present study was conducted to investigate prognostic factors and clinical outcomes in patients with vertebral metastases.AIM To investigate prognostic factors and their predictive value in patients with metastatic spinal cancer.METHODS A retrospective analysis of 109 patients with metastatic spinal cancer was conducted between January 2015 and September 2017.The prognoses and survival were analyzed,and the effects of factors such as clinical features,treatment methods,primary lesions and affected spinal segments on the prognosis of patients with metastatic spinal cancer were discussed.The prognostic value of Frankel spinal cord injury functional classification scale,metastatic spinal cord compression(MSCC),spinal instability neoplastic score(SINS)and the revised Tokuhashi score for prediction of prognosis was explored in patients with metastatic spinal tumors.RESULTS Age,comorbidity of metastasis from elsewhere,treatment methods,the number of spinal tumors,patient’s attitude toward tumors and Karnofsky performance scale score have an effect on the prognosis of patients(all P<0.05).With respect to classification of spinal cord injury,before operation,the proportion of grade B and grade C was higher in the group of patients who died than in the group of patients who survived,and that of grade D and grade E was lower in the group of patients who died than in the group of patients who survived(all P<0.05).At 1 mo after operation,the proportion of grade A,B and C was higher in the group of patients who died than in the group of patients who survived,and that of grade E was lower in patients in the group of patients who died than in the group of patients who survived(all P<0.05).MSCC occurred in four(14.3%)patients in the survival group and 17(21.0%)patients in the death group(P<0.05).All patients suffered from intractable pain,dysfunction in spinal cord and even paralysis.The proportion of SINS score of 1 to 6 points was lower in the death group than in the survival group,and the proportion of SINS score of 7 to 12 points was higher in the death group than in the survival group(all P<0.05).The proportion of revised Tokuhashi score of 0 to 8 points and 9 to 11 points were higher in the death group than in the survival group,and the proportion of revised Tokuhashi score of 12 to 15 points was lower in the death group than in the survival group(all P<0.05).Frankel spinal cord injury functional classification scale,MSCC,SINS and revised Tokuhashi score were important factors influencing the surgical treatment of patients with metastatic spinal cancer(all P<0.05).CONCLUSION Frankel spinal cord injury functional classification scale,MSCC,SINS and revised Tokuhashi score were helpful in predicting the prognosis of patients with metastatic spinal cancer. 展开更多

It is a very common pathology, the diagnosis of which is mainly clinical. However, magnetic resonance imaging occupies an essential place in the site diagnosis and etiological research in the management. Non-traumatic spinal cord compression is a diagnostic and therapeutic emergency, requiring early and appropriate management. MRI is the benchmark imaging examination for this pathology. No similar previous MRI study in Mali. We undertook this work with the aim to determine the place of MRI in the diagnosis of spinal cord compressions in Mali hospital. <strong>Method and Patients:</strong> This was a descriptive retrospective study, carried out at the hospital’s medical imaging department from January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2018 (02 years). It involved all patients, regardless of sex and age, sent for an MRI examination of the spine, and in whom spinal cord compression was diagnosed. We used a 0.35T low-field MRI machine with solid-state antennas. <strong>Results:</strong> We collected 179 cases of spinal cord compression MRI out of 585 spinal MRI performed, (frequency of 30.59%). The average age was 53.5 years with a male predominance (sex ratio 3.7). Motor disorders were the most common reason for examination (41%). We used the T1 T2 sagittal and T2 axial sequences. IV injection of gadolinium was performed in 48% of patients. The topographic lesions were: cervical (54.7%), thoracic (31.3%) and several segments (9.5%). The lesions concerned the compartments: extradural (79.3%), intradural (4.5%), and intramedullary (16.2%). The processes were degenerative (57.5%). tumorous (29.6%), infectious (12.3%) and vascular (0.6%). <strong>Conclusion:</strong> MRI is the benchmark imaging test for the management of non-traumatic spinal cord injury. Myelo-CT can be an alternative in the absence or in case of MRI contraindication. 展开更多

Patients with potential spinal stenosis are susceptible to central cord syndrome induced by blunt trauma.Suitable animal models are helpful for studying the pathogenesis and treatment of such injuries.In this study,we established a mouse model of acute blunt traumatic spinal cord injury by compressing the C6 spinal cord with 5 and 10 g/mm~2 compression weights to simulate cervical central cord syndrome.Behavioral testing confirmed that this model exhibited the characteristics of central cord syndrome because motor function in the front paws was impaired,whereas basic motor and sensory functions of the lower extremities were retained.Hematoxylin-eosin staining showed that the diseased region of the spinal cord in this mouse model was restricted to the gray matter of the central cord,whereas the white matter was rarely affected.Magnetic resonance imaging showed a hypointense signal in the lesion after mild and severe injury.In addition,immunofluorescence staining showed that the degree of nerve tract injury in the spinal cord white matter was mild,and that there was a chronic inflammation reaction.These findings suggest that this mouse model of central cord syndrome can be used as a model for preclinical research,and that gray matter is most vulnerable to injury in central cord syndrome,leading to impaired motor function. 展开更多

The incidence of bone metastases(BMs)from hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)is relatively low compared to those of other cancers,but it has increased recently,especially in Asian countries.Typically,BMs from HCC appear radiologically as osteolytic,destructive,and expansive components with large,bulky soft-tissue masses.These soft-tissue masses are unique to bone metastases from HCC and often replace the normal bone matrix and exhibit expansive growth.They often compress the peripheral nerves,spinal cord,or cranial nerves,causing not only bone pain but also neuropathic pain and neurological symptoms.In patients with spinal BMs,the consequent metastatic spinal cord compression(MSCC)causes paralysis.Skull base metastases(SBMs)with cranial nerve involvement can cause neurological symptoms.Therefore,patients with bony lesions often suffer from pain or neurological symptoms that have a severe,adverse effect on the quality of life.External-beam radiotherapy(EBRT)can effectively relieve bone pain and neurological symptoms caused by BMs.However,EBRT is not yet widely used for the palliative management of BMs from HCC because of the limited number of relevant studies.Furthermore,the optimal dosing schedule remains unclear,despite clinical evidence to support single-fraction ra-diation schedules for primary cancers.In this review,we outline data describing palliative EBRT for BMs from HCC in the context of(1)bone pain;(2)MSCC;and(3)SBMs. 展开更多

Aim: The present study aimed to examine whether apipuncture (stimulation of acupuncture points with bee venom)at ST36 and GV3 acupoints promotes neuroprotection and reduces neuroinflammation by modulating M1 and M2 phenotype polarization.Methods: Wistar rats were treated with bee venom (BV) (0.08 mg/kg) injection at acupoints ST36 and GV3 [BV (ST36 + GV3)-spinal cord injury (SCI)] or BV injection at non-acupoints [BV (NP)-SCI] or no treatment (CTL-SCI)after SCI by compression. The spinal cord mRNA expression of iNOS, Arg-1 and TGF-β was measured by real time PCR and the levels of IBA-1;BCL-2;NeuN e CNPase was measured by western blotting. Locomotor performance was measured by Basso, Beattie, and Bresnahan (BBB) and grid-walking tests.Results: Apipuncture treatment was able to (1) ameliorate locomotor performance;(2) reduce inflammatory markers (Cox-2 levels) and activation of microglia and macrophages;(3) reduce the polarization of the M1 phenotype marker (iNOS) and increase M2 (Arg-1 and TGF-β) phenotypic markers;(4) promote neuroprotection by reducing the death of neurons and oligodendrocytes;and (5) increase the expression of the anti-apoptotic factor BCL-2.Conclusion: Apipuncture treatment induces locomotor recovery and neuroprotection after the compression model of spinal cord injury. Further, it reduces neuroinflammation by decreasing M1 polarization and increasing M2 phenotype. 展开更多
