摘要: Bridging lesion cavities with bioengineered scaffolds is a promising strategie for spinal cord repair. In rat model of hemisection, the present study utilized an injectable hydrogel Tetronic-oligolactide (TL) copolymer, which liquid solution at room temperature and gels 37 °C. The implantation TL allowed growth laminin-laden connective tissue matrix formation blood vessels in cavities. However, alone did not significantly increase level axonal through areas. It was hypothesized that macrophage infiltration into areas reduced promoting effect hydrogel. Implanting mixed anti-inflammatory agent, minocycline, decreased extent deposition chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans, can potently inhibit regeneration. Finally, plus minocycline increased length axon dose-dependent manner. These results suggest controlling inflammation improves functionality used as bridging strategy.
