The contribution of reoxygenation-reperfusion injury to ischemic brain damage has been clearly demonstrated but not in the spinal cord. To evaluate this phenomenon in spinal cord ischemia, we measured spinal cord blood flow (SCBF) by [14C]iodoantipyrine and electrolytes in rabbits after 10 or 40 min ischemia followed by 30 min or 4 days recirculation. Ischemia for 10 or 40 min reduced blood flow in the lower lumbar segments L5-L7 (30 ml/100 g/min) to 5 and 10% of control. After 30 min of recirculation moderate hyperemia (25-40% above control) was observed in segments L5-L7 which was not related to the degree of functional impairment. Na+, water, and Ca2+ increased and K+ decreased after 40 min ischemia, but were unchanged after 10 min ischemia. Recirculation for 30 min after 40 min of ischemia resulted in a progressive rise in Ca2+ which correlated with irreversible spinal cord injury.

Preventing Community-Acquired Pressure Injury in Spinal Cord Injury: Simulation for Registered Nurses.
Rehabil Nurs
December 2024
Center of Innovation for Complex Chronic Healthcare, Department of Veterans Affairs, Edward Hines Jr. VA Hospital, Hines, IL, USA.
Purpose: The study purpose was to develop and assess a simulation for registered nurses to apply knowledge, skills, and attitudes in conducting a focused assessment in the clinic setting to prevent community-acquired pressure injuries (CAPrIs) in individuals living with spinal cord injury (SCI).
Methods: Development, psychometric assessment, and pilot of a simulation for a nurse-patient clinic appointment to prevent CAPrIs at home. Evaluations were conducted via focus group.

Department of Spinal Surgery, Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, Oxford, UK.
Study Design: Retrospective Cohort Study.
Objectives: The current recommended treatment for Giant Cell Tumour (GCT) of the spine is en bloc excision. Denosumab is a monoclonal antibody reducing osteoclast activity that shows promising results when used as a neo - adjuvant treatment.
ECM29/proteasome-mediated self-antigen generation by CNS-resident neuroglia promotes regulatory T cell activation.
Cell Rep
January 2025
Institute of Molecular Biology, Academia Sinica, Taipei, Taiwan. Electronic address:
Proteasomes generate antigenic peptides presented on cell surfaces-a process that, in neuroglia, is highly responsive to external stimuli. However, the function of the self-antigens presented by CNS parenchymal cells remains unclear. Here, we report that the fidelity of neuroglial self-antigens is crucial to suppress encephalitogenic T cell responses by elevating regulatory T (Treg) cell populations.

January 2025
Department of Neurosurgery, Beijing Tsinghua Changgung Hospital, School of Clinical Medicine, Tsinghua University, China.
Background: The spinal arteriovenous malformations (sAVMs) have been challenging entities to diagnose and treat. The small structure, important function, and complex vascular anatomy of the spinal cord increase the difficulty of treating sAVMs.
Objective: The combining holistic and local perspectives in the diagnosis and treatment of sAVMs were provided to teach spinal vascular anatomy and AVMs.
T1 mapping using MP2RAGE in degenerative cervical myelopathy: a longitudinal study.
Eur Spine J
January 2025
Aix-Marseille University, CNRS, CRMBM, Marseille, France.
Background And Purpose: Degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM) is the most common cause of spinal cord (SC) dysfunction. In routine clinical practice, SC changes are well depicted using conventional MRI, especially T2-weighted imaging. However, this modality usually fails to provide satisfactory clinico-radiological correlations.
