Abstract
OBJECTIVE Spinal cord injury induced by ischemia/reperfusion is a devastating complication of aortic repair. Despite developments for prevention and treatment of spinal cord injury, incidence is still considerably high majorly impacting patient outcome. Microcirculation is paramount for tissue perfusion and oxygen supply and often dissociated from macrohemodynamic parameters used to guide resuscitation. Effects of fluids vs. vasopressors in the setting of hemodynamic resuscitation on spinal cord microperfusion are unknown. Aim of this study was to compare the effects of vasopressor and fluid resuscitation on spinal cord microperfusion in a translational acute pig model of hemorrhagic shock induced ischemia/reperfusion injury. METHODS We designed this study as prospective randomized explorative large animal study. We induced hemorrhagic shock in 20 pigs as a model of global ischemia/reperfusion injury. We randomized animals to receive either fluid or vasopressor resuscitation. We measured spinal cord microperfusion using fluorescent microspheres as well as laser-Doppler probes. We monitored and analyzed macrohemodynamic parameters and cerebrospinal fluid pressure. RESULTS Spinal cord microperfusion decreased following hemorrhagic shock induced ischemia/reperfusion injury. Both fluids and vasopressors sufficiently restored spinal cord microperfusion. There were no important changes between groups (percentage changes compared to baseline: fluids 14.0 (0.31-27.6) vs. vasopressors 24.3 (8.12-40.4), p = .340). However, cerebrospinal fluid pressure was higher in animals receiving fluid resuscitation (percentage changes compared to baseline: fluids 27.7 (12.6-42.8) vs. vasopressors -5.56 ((-19.8)-8.72), p = .003). Microcirculatory resuscitation was in line with improvements of macrohemodynamic parameters. CONCLUSIONS Both, fluids and vasopressors, equally restored spinal cord microperfusion in a porcine acute model of hemorrhagic shock induced ischemia/reperfusion injury. However, significant differences in cerebrospinal fluid pressure following resuscitation were present. Future studies should evaluate these effects in perfusion disruption induced ischemia/reperfusion conditions of microcirculatory deterioration.

Abstract
Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a devastating disease with limited effective treatment options. Animal paradigms are vital for understanding the pathogenesis of SCI and testing potential therapeutics. The porcine model of SCI is increasingly favored because of its greater similarity to humans. However, its adoption is limited by the complexities of care and range of testing parameters. Researchers need to consider swine selection, injury method, post-operative care, rehabilitation, behavioral outcomes, and histology metrics. Therefore, we systematically reviewed full-text English-language articles to evaluate study characteristics used in developing a porcine model and summarize the interventions that have been tested using this paradigm. A total of 63 studies were included, with 33 examining SCI pathogenesis and 30 testing interventions. Studies had an average sample size of 15 pigs with an average weight of 26 kg, and most used female swine with injury to the thoracic cord. Injury was most commonly induced by weight drop with compression. The porcine model is amenable to testing various interventions, including mean arterial pressure augmentation (n = 7), electrical stimulation (n = 6), stem cell therapy (n = 5), hypothermia (n = 2), biomaterials (n = 2), gene therapy (n = 2), steroids (n = 1), and nanoparticles (n = 1). It is also notable for its clinical translatability and is emerging as a valuable pre-clinical study tool. This systematic review can serve as a guideline for researchers implementing and testing the porcine SCI model.

Abstract
Humans, primates, and rodents with cervical spinal cord injury (SCI) show permanent sensorimotor dysfunction of the upper/forelimb as consequence of axonal damage and local neuronal death. This work aimed at characterizing a model of cervical SCI in domestic pigs in which hemisection with excision of 1 cm of spinal cord was performed to reproduce the loss of neural tissue observed in human neuropathology. Posture and motor control were assessed over 3 months by scales and kinematics of treadmill locomotion. Histological measurements included lesion length, atrophy of the adjacent spinal cord segments, and neuronal death. In some animals, the retrograde neural tracer aminostilbamidine was injected in segments caudal to the lesion to visualize propriospinal projection neurons. Neuronal loss extended for 4-6 mm from the lesion borders and was more severe in the ipsilateral, caudal spinal cord stump. Axonal Wallerian degeneration was observed caudally and rostrally, associated with marked atrophy of the white matter in the spinal cord segments adjacent to the lesion. The pigs showed chronic monoplegia or severe monoparesis of the foreleg ipsilateral to the lesion, whereas the trunk and the other legs had postural and motor impairments that substantially improved during the first month post-lesion. Adaptations of the walking cycle such as those reported for rats and humans ameliorated the negative impact of focal neurological deficits on locomotor performance. These results provide a baseline of behavior and histology in a porcine model of cervical spinal cord hemisection that can be used for translational research in SCI therapeutics.

Abstract
Objective This study aims to explore the effects of an online home nursing care model application on patients with traumatic spinal cord injury (TSCI). Methods Eighty patients with TSCI discharged from the hospital between January 2015 and January 2018 were included in the study. The patients were randomly divided into two groups: the control group and the observation group (n = 40, each). The patients in the control group were given routine discharge guidance, while the patients in the observation group were given online home nursing care. The Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), Medical Outcomes Study 36-item short-form health survey (MOS SF-36), and complication-incidence rate were used to evaluate the efficiency of the online home nursing care model. Results There were no differences in the ODI and MOS SF-36 scores between the two groups at discharge. However, the ODI and MOS SF-36 scores in the observation group showed significant improvement compared with the control group (p < 0.05) during the most recent follow-up. The incidence of complications, such as constipation, joint stiffness, muscle atrophy, foot drop, and pressure sores, were significantly lower in the observation group than in the control group (p < 0.05). Conclusion The online home nursing care model can reduce complication incidence, alleviate dysfunction, and improve the quality of life of patients with TSCI.

Abstract
Optimal surgical management of spine trauma will restore blood flow to the ischemic spinal cord. However, spine stabilization may also further exacerbate injury by inducing ischemia. Current electrophysiological technology is not capable of detecting acute changes in spinal cord blood flow or localizing ischemia. Further, alerts are delayed and unreliable. We developed an epidural optical device capable of directly measuring and immediately detecting changes in spinal cord blood flow using diffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS). Herein we test the hypothesis that our device can continuously monitor blood flow during spine distraction. Additionally, we demonstrate the ability of our device to monitor multiple sites along the spinal cord and axially resolve changes in spinal cord blood flow. DCS-measured blood flow in the spinal cord was monitored at up to three spatial locations (cranial to, at, and caudal to the distraction site) during surgical distraction in a sheep model. Distraction was halted at 50% of baseline blood flow at the distraction site. We were able to monitor blood flow with DCS in multiple regions of the spinal cord simultaneously at ∼1 Hz. The distraction site had a greater decrement in flow than sites cranial to the injury (median -40 vs. -7%,). This pilot study demonstrated high temporal resolution and the capacity to axially resolve changes in spinal cord blood flow at and remote from the site of distraction. These early results suggest that this technology may assist in the surgical management of spine trauma and in corrective surgery of the spine.
