Effect of preconditioning with hyperbaric oxygen on neural cell apoptosis after spinal cord injury in rats.
RatSpinal cord injuryContusionSprague-Dawleyfemalen = 55 rats in total: hyperbaric oxygen preconditioning n = 25,…hyperbaric chamber exposurebefore injury (preconditioning)
Model: Acute spinal cord injury induced by the Allen weight-drop method
Hyperbaric oxygen preconditioning reduced the number of TUNEL-positive apoptotic cells and improved neurological recovery compared with the normal injury and control groups, with statistically significant differences between groups.
