Abstract: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a growing health concern affecting civilians and military personnel. In this review, treatments for the chronic TBI patient are discussed, including pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, cognitive therapy, and hyperbaric oxygen...
Spinal Cord Injuries
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) Research for Spinal Cord Injuries
Changes in autophagy in rats after spinal cord injury and the effect of hyperbaric oxygen on autophagy.
Abstract: The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) on the autophagic changes after induction of spinal cord injury (SCI) in rats. A total of 75 rats were randomly divided into the sham-operated group, the spinal cord injury...
Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment Protects Against Spinal Cord Injury by Inhibiting Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress in Rats.
Abstract: Experimental animal study of treatment of SCI. To explore whether HBO treatment protects against secondary SCI by inhibiting the ER stress response. SCI is a neurological disorder that can severely limit the execution of the simplest day-to-day functions. ER...
Effects of hyperbaric oxygen therapy on RAGE and MCP-1 expression in rats with spinal cord injury.
Abstract: The inflammatory response is an important source of secondary damage to neuronal tissue in the spinal cord following spinal cord injury (SCI). Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy reduces inflammation and promotes the restoration of locomotor function following...
Effect of hyperbaric oxygen on MMP9/2 expression and motor function in rats with spinal cord injury.
Abstract: To study the effect of hyperbaric oxygen intervention on the microenvironment of nerve regeneration after spinal cord injury modeling and to explore the possible mechanism of nerve regeneration and functional recovery in rats with spinal cord injury. In 98...
Effect of mesenchymal stem cells transplantation combining with hyperbaric oxygen therapy on rehabilitation of rat spinal cord injury.
Abstract: To investigate the effect of BMSCs transplantation plus hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) on repair of rat SCI. Seventy five male rats were divided randomly into five groups: sham, vehicle, BMSCs transplantation group, combination group, 15 rats in each group. Every...
The future of bone marrow stromal cell transplantation for the treatment of spinal cord injury.
Abstract: Enomoto, , , , , , , , (2015). The future of bone marrow stromal cell transplantation for the treatment of spinal cord injury. Neural regeneration research, 2015 Mar;10(3):383-4. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25878584
Effects of hyperbaric oxygen on glucose-regulated protein 78 and c-Jun N-terminal kinase expression after spinal cord injury in rats.
Abstract: Spinal cord injury (SCI) is not only devastating but also represents a public health burden for society. Endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) is implicated in secondary injury following damage to the SC. Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) treatment can improve the...
MRI findings in cervical spinal cord type II neurological decompression sickness: a case report.
Abstract: Decompression illness affecting the cervical spinal cord is uncommon. We report a case that presented with mixed signs and symptoms of cervical myelopathy and Type II neurological decompression sickness. This presented a diagnostic dilemma that required the...
