Spinal cord injury (SCI) leads to permanent motor and sensory loss that is exacerbated by intraspinal inflammation and persists months to years after injury. After SCI, monocyte-derived macrophages (MDMs) infiltrate the lesion to aid in myelin-rich debris clearance. During debris clearance, MDMs adopt a proinflammatory phenotype that exacerbates neurodegeneration and hinders recovery.

Article Synopsis
  • There is variability in the practice of obtaining whole-spine MRIs before surgery for adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), prompting this study to evaluate the benefits of uniform MRI use.
  • The research included 283 asymptomatic AIS patients who had preoperative MRIs, revealing various neural axis anomalies in 9.9% of cases, with 2.1% requiring surgical intervention.
  • Findings indicated that although some patients had neuromonitoring alerts related to anomalies, none experienced permanent neurological deficits post-surgery, underscoring the importance of MRI in identifying potential complications.

Our previous in vitro studies showed that excitotoxicity evoked by glutamate analogue kainate (KA) significantly decreased the number of rat spinal neurons and triggered high release of glutamate leading to locomotor network block. Our current objective was to assess the role of CREB as a predictive marker of damage following chemically-induced spinal cord injury by using in vivo and in vitro models. Thus, in vivo excitotoxicity in Balb/c adult mice was induced by KA intraspinal injection, while in vitro spinal cord excitotoxicity was produced by bath-applied KA.
