Disclosed herein are methods for treating spinal cord injury using recombinant decoy receptor 3 (DcR3) polypeptide. Also disclosed herein are methods for improving the locomotor function recovery of a spinal cord injured subject with a DcR3 polypeptide.

Recombinant decoy receptor 3 for treating spinal cord injury

The present invention provides for treating neurodegeneration caused by nerve compression syndrome or entrapment neuropathy comprising administering human acidic fibroblast growth factor (aFGF), fibrinogen, aprotinin and divalent calcium ions to a subject in need thereof.

Method for repairing neurodegeneration

The present invention provides a method of treating neural injury, e.g., spinal cord injury (SCI), or enhancing recovery from the neural injury with silymarin or silybin.

Use of silymarin and silybin in the treatment of neural injury

The invention provides a method of functionally connecting a portion of the peripheral nervous system of a vertebrate to a portion of the central or peripheral nervous system of said vertebrate, comprising the steps of bringing the portion of the peripheral nervous system and the portion of the central or peripheral nervous system close to each other, applying to the gap between the two portions a fibrin glue mixture comprising a growth factor, fibrinogen, aprotinin and divalent calcium ions so that the fibrin glue mixture is simultaneously in contact with the two portions, and forming an attachment between the portion of the peripheral nervous system and the portion of the central or peripheral nervous system of said vertebrate.

Method and mixture for nerve root repair

An modified peptide of human acidic fibroblast growth factor (aFGF), comprising a native human aFGF shortened by a deletion of a deletion of 20 amino acids from N-terminal of the native human aFGF, and an addition of Alanine (Ala) before the shortened native aFGF is provided.

Modified peptide of human acidic fibroblast growth factor

A laminin-modified polymeric hollow conduit is provided for promoting nerve regeneration across the gap between severed ends of a nerve. The conduit is manufactured by a method involving gas plasma treatment. Utilizing the laminin-modified conduit, functional recovery has been achieved in mammals with a severed spinal cord.

Laminin-modified conduit for nerve regeneration and methods of manufacturing the conduit and regenerating nerves using the conduit

The present invention relates to a method of generating neurons from stem cells which comprises culturing neurons in a medium and culturing the stem cells in the resultant mixture. The present invention also relates to a medium for culturing stem cells prepared by culturing neurons in a base culture medium.

Method of generating neurons from stem cells and medium for culturing stem cells

The present invention relates to the use of tetramethylpyrazine (TMP) in the treatment of brain tumor.

Use of tetramethylpyrazine in the treatment of brain tumor

A medical device ( ) of a biocompatible material for use in the treatment of a gap or defect in the central nervous system, which device has a proximal end ( ) and a distal end ( ) comprising openings ( ). The device is adapted to enable connection of nerve fibers of gray and white matter between the proximal end ( ) and distal end ( ) thereof in predetermined openings ( ). The device is of a substantially cylindrical form, or a substantially flat or plate like form and is made of plastic. The openings ( ) in at least one end ( ) bear distinctively different indicia thereby to indicate whether nerve fibers of gray matter or nerve fibers of white matter are to be inserted therein.

Medical device for treatment of a gap or defect in the central nerve system

An operation table. The table includes table top and a sink mounted under the table top. The sink is provided at one end with a discharge port, and at other end with an opening which is provided with a cover plate having a ventilation hole, and a sink cover having through holes. When a surgical operation is carried out on the sink cover, the waste fluids of the surgical operation are collected in the sink via the through holes of the sink cover such that liquid fluids are drained out via the discharge port of the sink, and gaseous fluids are drawn out of the sink via the ventilation hole which is fastened at one end of a ventilation pipe which is in turn fastened at another end with a pumping device.

Operating table for animal

An electrophysiological faraday box includes a main body, a work board, and a foldable door. The main body is able to provide an electromagnetically isolated space at the time when it is grounded by a bonding wire. The work board is mounted in the space of the main body and is an insulator. The foldable door is fastened to one side of the main body such that the foldable door can be opened partially or completely to enable a person to gain access to the work board. The foldable door is formed of a plurality of door units which are formed of metal screens electrically interconnected by a bonding wire. The side walls, the top, and the bottom of the main body are formed of framed metal screens electrically interconnected by a bonding wire.
