Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Allen’s weight-drop method has become a safe and effective modeling method, and choosing the injury segments of the spinal cord is an important factor for establishing ideal animal models of spinal cord injury.

OBJECTIVE: To compare the the similarities and differences in the effectiveness of spinal cord injury at T8, T9, T10, T11, and T12 in Sprague-Dawley rats by network meta-analysis, thus providing evidence for the selection of lesion segments in rat models of spinal cord injury.
METHODS: PubMed, CNKI, VIP and WanFang databases were searched with the keywords of “spinal cord injuries, rats, models, animal, BBB scores” in English and Chinese, respectively for the literature published before June 5, 2018. The inclusion criteria were as follows: the modeling method of spinal cord injury was Allen's weight-drop (25 g·cm) method, rats only undergoing laminectomy were included in sham operation group, and low extremity function was assessed by Basso Beattie Bresnahan scores at 3, 7, 14 and 28 days. The order of the effectiveness of spinal cord injury at T8, T9, T10, T11, and T12 was compared by network meta-analysis.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) Nineteen studies were included, involving 703 rats. (2) Basso Beattie Bresnahan scores in the spinal cord injury rats at different segments at 3, 7, 14 and 28 days were significantly decreased compared with the sham operation group (P ≤ 0.05). (3) Spinal cord injury at T10 showed largest effect on Beattie Bresnahan scores. (4) The order of effectiveness of spinal cord injury at different segments was: T10 > T9 > T11 > T8 > T12 > sham operation.
