研究的目的:
- 评估耐金属工艺品多谱DW-MRI的实用性,以量化SCI和融合稳定个体脊髓的扩散变化.
- 评估不同脊髓区域 (在损伤水平,以上和以下) 的明显扩散系数 (ADC) 值及其与损伤特征和时间的相关性.
主要方法:
- 多谱DW-MRI对12名宫SCI和融合稳定和49名对照的参与者进行.
- 表面扩散系数 (ADC) 值是以轴绳截面计算的.
- 统计建模分析了跨组和SCI参与者内部的ADC差异,控制了人口统计和受伤严重程度.

Spinal Cord Injury ll: Pathophysiology
Spinal cord injury progresses through two interconnected phases: primary injury and secondary injury.Primary InjuryPrimary injury happens at the moment of trauma and involves immediate mechanical damage to the spinal cord.Compression happens when broken vertebrae, herniated discs, or accumulating blood (such as a hematoma) press directly against the spinal cord, distorting its normal shape and function. In cases of contusion, the cord is bruised by a blunt force (like penetrating injuries or...
Secondary Spinal Cord Injury llI: Pathophysiology
Early Ischemia and Ionic ImbalanceWithin minutes of spinal cord injury, a secondary cascade begins, progressing over hours to weeks. Vascular damage reduces blood flow, causing ischemia and mitochondrial dysfunction. ATP depletion leads to ion pump failure, membrane depolarization, sodium influx, potassium efflux, and water accumulation, resulting in cellular swelling. Increased intracellular calcium further disrupts mitochondria and accelerates cellular injury.Excitotoxicity and Neuronal...
