Abstract:Objective: To investigate the effect of x-irridiation on the myelin and axon of the spinal cord. Method: 60 adult rats were divided into two groups-the experimental group and the contrast group. In the former, 30 adult rats with a spinal cord hemisection operation in thoracic lumbar segment received x-irridiation on the second day postoperation and the dosage was 35 Gy. The latter received the same operation and no x-irridiation. 24 weeeks of operation later. We had the SP immunohistochemistry research and supramicrostructure oberservation under transmission electron. Result: The number of MBP positive myelin was less obviously in experimental group than that in the contrast group both in upper section and lower section of spinal cord injury level. The number of NF positive nerve fiber in experimental group was more than that of contrast group in upper section of injury level and no significant difference was observed in lower section. Under transmission electron microscope there was obvious demyelination changes of spinal cord in experimental group and fine newborn nerve fiber bundle could be seen in lower section of injury level. Conclusion: More demylination changes in spinal cord will occur by x-irridiation with 35 Gy dosage and the x-iddidiation will promote the increase of NF positive nerve fiber in lower segment of injury level.
