Methods： Forty Wistar rats were randomly assigned into 4 groups. The spinal cord injury model was prepared according to the modified Allen method. BMSCs were labeled by CM-Dil. And 5.0x 10^6 cells were transplanted by different channels including intraventricular injection （Group A）,injured spinal cord intrathecally injection （Group B）, remote intrathecally injection at the L3-L4 level （Group C）, and intravenous injection （Group D）. Spinal cord was dissected at 24 hours, 1, 2, 3 and 4 weeks after transplantation. Sections of 4 μm were cut on a cryostat and observed under fluorescence microscopy. Results： No fluorescence was observed 24 hours aftertransplantation in spinal cord injury parenchyma except Group B. One week later, BMSCs in Groups A and C began to migrate to the injured parenchyma; 2-4 weeks later, BMSCs penetrated into the injured parenchyma except Group D. The number of BMSCs decreased at 3-4 weeks after transplantation. The number of cells in Group B decreased faster than that of Groups A and C. Conclusions： BMSCs transplanted through intraventricular injection, injured spinal cord intrathecally injection and remote intrathecal injection could migrate to the injured parenchyma of spinal cord effectively. The number of BMSCs migrated into injured spinal cord parenchyma is rare by intravenous injection.展开更多
