Methods Spinal cord contusion at C 6 segment was made with Allen method in cats, which were randomly divided into four groups: saline control group; BN 52021 group; naloxone group; and combined treatment group with BN 52021 and naloxone. Alteration of cervical cord blood flow, blood barrier permeability of the spinal cord, cervical cord tissue pathology and neurological functional scores were studied after experimental cervical cord injury. Results The animals treated with BN 52021 or naloxone had significantly better functional scores than saline controls 6 weeks after injury (P<0.05). Moreover, the combined treatment showed significantly better neurologic recovery than either naloxone or BN 52021 treated animals (P<0.05). The other indexes in combined treatment animals were also superior to those in naloxone or BN 52021 treated animals. Conclusions Combined blockade by two kinds of autolesion mediator receptor can more effectively inhibit secondary damage production and development after cervical cord injury and improve neurologic function.展开更多
