Inhibition of inflammatory cytokines after early decompression may mediate recovery of neurological function in rats with spinal cord injury

A variety of inflammatory cytokines are involved in spinal cord injury and influence the recovery of neuronal function. In the present study, we established a rat model of acute spinal cord injury by cerclage. The cerclage suture was released 8 or 72 hours later, to simulate decompression surgery. N...
