Abstract: | A complete spinal cord injury model was established in experimental rabbits using the spinal cord clip compression method.Urodynamic examination was performed 2 weeks later to determine neurogenic bladder status.The rabbits were treated with anodal block stimulation at sacral anterior roots for 4 weeks.Electrical stimulation of sacral anterior roots improved urodynamic parameters of neurogenic bladder in rabbit models of complete spinal cord injury,effectively promoted urinary function,and relieved urinary retention.Immunohistochemistry results showed that a balance was achieved among expression of muscarinic receptor subunits M2,M3,ATP-gated ion channel P2X3 receptors,and β2-adrenergic receptor,and nerve growth factor expression decreased.These results suggested that long-term sacral anterior root stimulation of anodal block could be used to treat neurogenic bladder in a rabbit model of complete spinal cord injury. |
