Abstract:
[Objective]To establish effective and reliable complete spinal cord transection models in rats,and to investigate the effects of micromanipulation used in surgical procedure of transected spinal cord treated with human umbilical cord blood stem cells(UCBSCs) grafts in rats.[Method]Human UCBSCs were obtained from umbilical cord blood of term deliveries.Sixty Sprague-Dawley(SD) female rats were divided randomly into group A(control group),group B(spinal cord transection and PBS injection),group C(spinal cord transection and UCBSCs transplantation) and group D(spinal cord transection and UCBSCs transplantation by using micromanipulation).All groups were operated,and 1 ?l UCBSCs(6?109/L ~7?109/L) were injected into the both ends of the completely transected spinal cord at the groups C and D by two different surgical procedures respectively.From 1 week to 8 week post-operation,a behavioral testing was performed weekly upon each hindlimb for all animals according to the BBB scoring system.At the 8th week,all animals were sacrificed and the spinal cords were taken out for morphological observation.[Result]No changes were observed at group A pre-and post-operation.After 2 weeks post-operation,the hindlimb motor function of groups C and D began to recover.After 3 weeks post-operation,the group D showed more improvement than group C,and the difference between groups D and C were significant in the BBB scores(P
