Effects of repetitive magnetic stimulation on motor function and GAP43 and 5-HT expression in rats with spinal cord injury.
RatSpinal cord injuryCompressionSprague-DawleyBoth, half male and half femalen = 80 rats in total, five groups of n = 16Non-invasive trans-spinal magnetic stimulation over the T6, T10 or L2 segment5 Hz, 75% maximum output intensity (1.5 T), 5 s per sequenc…Treatment started on postoperative day 4
Model: Acute aneurysm-clip compression spinal cord injury: T10 laminectomy, Yasargil titanium mini clip (closing force 70 g) applied at T10 for 10 s
rTSMS at all three segments raised BBB scores versus untreated injury, alleviated myelin damage, lowered Nogo-A, NgR and apoptotic proteins and increased GAP43, with L2 stimulation giving the greatest late motor gain, although the 5-HT immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence results were intern…
