Methods. authors examined cords 15 patients who died between 3 hours 2 months SCI. Apoptotic found at edges lesion epicenter adjacent white matter, particularly ascending tracts, by using histological (cresyl violet, hematoxylin eosin) nuclear staining (Hoechst 33342). presence supported with terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated deoxyuridinetriphosphate nick-end labeling technique confirmed immunostaining for processed caspase-3 (CPP-32), member t...
