Abstract
Military personnel are often exposed to silica dust during combat operations across the globe. Exposure to silica dust in US military or service personnel could cause Desert Strom Pneumonitis also referred to as Al Eskan disease causing several organs damage and precipitate autoimmune dysfunction. However, the effects of microfine particles of sand inhalation-induced brain damage on the pathophysiology of traumatic brain or spinal cord injury are not explored. Previously intoxication of silica nanoparticles (50-60 nm size) is shown to exacerbates spinal cord injury induces blood-spinal cord barrier breakdown, edema formation and cellular changes. However, the mechanism of silica nanoparticles-induced cord pathology is still not well known. Spinal cord injury is well known to alter serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine) metabolism and induce oxidative stress including upregulation of nitric oxide synthase and tumor necrosis factor alpha. This suggests that these agents are involved in the pathophysiology of spinal cord injury. In this review, we examined the effects of combined nanowired delivery of monoclonal antibodies to neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) together with tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) antibodies and a potent antioxidant H-290/51 to induce neuroprotection in spinal cord injury associated with silica nanoparticles intoxication. Our results for the first time show that co-administration of nanowired delivery of antibodies to nNOS and TNF-α with H-290/51 significantly attenuated silica nanoparticles-induced exacerbation of spinal cord pathology, not reported earlier.

Early microvascular reactions and blood-spinal cord barrier disruption are instrumental in pathophysiology of spinal cord injury and repair: novel therapeutic strategies including nanowired drug delivery to enhance neuroprotection.

Abstract
Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a devastating disease that leads to permanent disability of victims for which no suitable therapeutic intervention has been achieved so far. Thus, exploration of novel therapeutic agents and nano-drug delivery to enhance neuroprotection after SCI is the need of the hour. Previous research on SCI is largely focused to improve neurological manifestations of the disease while ignoring spinal cord pathological changes. Recent studies from our laboratory have shown that pathological recovery of SCI appears to be well correlated with the improvement of sensory motor functions. Thus, efforts should be made to reduce or minimize spinal cord cell pathology to achieve functional and cellular recovery to enhance the quality of lives of the victims. While treating spinal cord disease, recovery of both neuronal and non-neuronal cells, e.g., endothelia and glial cells are also necessary to maintain a healthy spinal cord function after trauma. This review focuses effects of novel therapeutic strategies on the role of spinal cord microvascular reactions and endothelia cell functions, i.e., blood-spinal cord barrier (BSCB) in SCI and repair mechanisms. Thus, new therapeutic approach to minimize spinal cord pathology after trauma using antibodies to various neurotransmitters and/or drug delivery to the cord directly by topical application to maintain strong localized effects on the injured cells are discussed. In addition, the use of nanowired drugs to affect remote areas of the cord after their application on the injured spinal cord in thwarting the injury process rapidly and to enhance the neuroprotective effects of the parent compounds are also described in the light of current knowledge and our own investigations. It appears that local treatment with new therapeutic agents and nanowired drugs after SCI are needed to enhance neurorepair leading to improved spinal cord cellular functions and the sensory motor performances.

Abstract
Alterations of the blood-spinal cord barrier (BSCB) following spinal cord injury (SCI) and leakage of serum proteins induce vasogenic edema and cell damage. The possibility that two members of the neurotrophin family, BDNF or IGF-1 induce neuroprotection by attenuating the BSCB permeability following trauma was examined in a rat model. Repeated topical application of BDNF or IGF-1 (0.1 1microg, 0.5 microg or 1 microg in 10 microl) onto the spinal cord 30 min before SCI or 2, 5, 10 or 30 min thereafter significantly attenuated BSCB permeability to Evans blue and iodine. In the neurotrophin treated rats. edema formation, degradation of MBP, and myelin vesiculation were much less frequent compared to the untreated traumatised rats. The protective effect of BDNF and IGF-1 was most pronounced at the high dose (1 microg in 10 microl) given either 30 min before or within 10 min after SCI. The observations suggest that early intervention with neurotrophins in high doses following trauma (within 10 min) attenuates disturbances of the fluid microenvironment of the spinal cord. This indicates that BSCB opening plays an important role in SCI induced myelin vesiculation and cord pathology.
