Study: A Better Curative Effect Is Shown On Spinal Cord Contusion When Combined Treatment Is Used
Astrocyte proliferation and scar formation are the main factors inhibiting the regeneration and growth of spinal cord axons, following spinal cord injury.

Their recent study established New Zealand rabbit models of spinal cord ischemia/reperfusion injury by abdominal aorta occlusion. The researchers found that the expression of protein disulfide isomerase A3, stress-induced-phosphoprotein 1 and heat shock cognate protein 70 was induced by ischemia/reperfusion injury, showing a characterization of induction-inhibition-induction.
These three proteins were expressed only in cytoplasm but not in the nuclei, suggesting that the expression of stress-related proteins exhibited a protective effect on neurons. After spinal cord ischemia/reperfusion injury, heat shock cognate protein 70 expression was detectable in glial cell nuclei in the gray matter and in Schwann cell nuclei in the white matter, possibly because heat shock cognate protein 70 was transported back into nuclei. These findings were published in the Neural Regeneration Research (Vol. 8, No. 24, 2013).
Injured Spinal Cord Motor Endplates are Protected by Basic Fibroblast Growth Factor
There is a serious lack of studies looking into the degeneration and protection measures in the distal end of the injured spinal cord and target organ muscle effector.

Biphasic Electrical Stimulation Might Help Cure Spinal Cord Injuries
A new technique called Biphasic Electrical stimulation (BES)was discovered by researchers. It is a non-chemical procedure, that they believe can be used for spinal cord injury patients in the future.
