Spinal cord injury (SCI) is associated with devastating neurological problems affecting more than 11,000 Americans each year. Although several treatment agents have been proposed and tested, no FDA-approved pharmacotherapy is available for treating SCI. We have recently demonstrated that estrogen (E2) acts as an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent, attenuating gliosis in SCI. We have also demonstrated that nanoparticle-mediated focal delivery of E2 to the injured spinal cord decreases lesion size, reactive gliosis, and glial scar formation. The current study tested . Thoracic 10%. Lumbar 3%. Dorso lumbar 35%. Combination of areas 14%. Anatomy. Spinal cord ends below lower border of L1. Cauda equina is below L1. Mechanical injury - early ischaemia, cord edema - cord necrosis. Introduction :. 2 General Classifications. Complete Lesion . A lesion to the spinal cord where there is no preserved motor or sensory function below the level of lesion. Incomplete Lesion. A lesion to the spinal cord with incomplete damage to the cord. There may be scattered motor function, sensory function or both below the level of lesion. Frazier Rehab Institute . Spinal Cord Medicine Program. The Digestive System.
