Compared with sham group , GFAP immunoactivity (mainly in the lamina I-II of the spinal dorsal horn) , TNF-alpha mRNA and IL-1beta mRNA expression in the ipsilateral spinal cord on the CCI side in model group increased considerably (P (0.05) , while compared with model group , the expression of GFAP , TNF-alpha mRNA and IL-1beta mRNA in EA group was down-regulated remarkably (P (0.05).
CONCLUSION : Inflammation is a plausible pathway in spinal cord ishemia/reperfusion injury.
We evaluated the efficacy of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors on biochemical changes in testicular ischemia-reperfusion injury.
These findings indicate a key role of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase activation in NO toxicity in islet cells.
