Spinal cord injury produces prominent disruption of the blood‐spinal cord barrier. We have
defined the blood‐spinal cord barrier breakdown to the protein luciferase (61 kDa) in the …

Blood–spinal cord barrier (BSB) permeability was measured using quantitative
autoradiography following contusion injury to the rat spinal cord. Permeability was assessed …

Significant vascular changes occur subsequent to spinal cord injury (SCI), which contribute
to progressive pathophysiology. In the present study, we used female Wistar rats (300–350 …

This study examines morphological changes of the blood–brain barrier (BBB) after spinal
cord compression. The lowest thoracic segment (T13) of female guinea pigs was injured and …

Spinal cord injury causes immediate damage of nervous tissue accompanied by the loss of
motor and sensory function. The limited self-repair ability of damaged nervous tissue …

Delayed deterioration of neurological function after central nervous system ischemia is a
well-documented clinical problem. The purpose of our study was to elucidate the role of …

Blood vessels identified by laminin staining were studied in uninjured spinal cord and at 2,
4, 7, and 14 days following a moderate contusion (weight drop) injury. At 2 days after injury …

Traumatic spinal cord injury results in the disruption of neural and vascular structures
(primary injury) and is characterized by an evolution of secondary pathogenic events that …

The presence of an adequate blood supply is a critical factor in recovery from traumatic
injuries. We have examined whether the revascularization of the injured tissues is as crucial …

Blood-spinal cord barrier (BSCB) plays an important role in the regulation of the fluid
microenvironment of the spinal cord. Trauma to the spinal cord impairs the BSCB …
