1 The adverse effect of back-bleeding from lumbar arteries on spinal cord pathophysiology in a rabbit model  Yujiro Kawanishi, MD, Kenji Okada, MD, Hiroshi Tanaka, MD, Teruo Yamashita, MD, Keitaro Nakagiri, MD, Yutaka Okita, MD  The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery  Volume 133, Issue 6, Pages (June 2007) DOI: /j.jtcvs Copyright © 2007 The American Association for Thoracic Surgery Terms and Conditions

2 Figure 1 Schematic representation of the animal model for spinal cord ischemia with back-bleeding from lumbar arteries (group 1). The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery  , DOI: ( /j.jtcvs ) Copyright © 2007 The American Association for Thoracic Surgery Terms and Conditions

3 Figure 2 Consecutive changes of blood pressure in group 1 (open triangle) and group 2 (open circle). A, Systolic and diastolic arterial pressure. B, Mean arterial pressure. The “declamp” pressure was measured immediately after aortic unclamping, and the “last” pressure was measured after skin closure, which took approximately 5 minutes after aortic unclamping in each animal. Repeated measures ANOVA and Mann–Whitney test showed no significant difference between group 1 and group 2 at each pressure.

4 Figure 3 Neurologic scores with MTS in each group (black bar, group 1; gray bar, group 2; open bar, group 3) at 4, 24, and 48 hours after operation. All values are presented as the mean ± standard deviation of the Kruskal–Wallis test and Scheffe multiple comparison test. MTS, modified Tarlov scale.

5 Figure 4 Photomicrographs of histologic sections in the rabbit spinal cord at 48 hours of reperfusion after 15 minutes of ischemia. Hematoxylin and eosin staining in the ventral gray matter of group 1 (A) and group 2 (C). The spinal cords show necrotic change, including destruction and vacuolization of the gray matter, pyknosis of neurons, and eosinophilic changes of the cytoplasm (A and C). TUNEL staining in the ventral gray matter of group 1 (B) and group 2 (D). Arrows show motor neuron cell nuclei positive with TUNEL staining.

6 Figure 5 The number of normal motor neuron and TUNEL-positive cells in each group at 4 and 48 hours after the procedures. All values are presented as the mean ± standard deviation. Black, gray, and open bars represent group 1, group 2, and group 3, respectively. Kruskal–Wallis test and Scheffe multiple comparison test.
