Establishment of the SCI model.

(a)We surgically removed the thoracic vertebral laminae to expose the spinal cord and then fixed the spinous process with two fixtures. (b) We fixed the animal on the SS-II spinal cord contusion impactor that was prepared to creat the model. (c) A close-up of the striker. It is a blunt cylinder with 6 mm diameter. (d) The extent of contusion lesion at T8-T9 spinal segment. 6 months after SCI, we transected the contusive segment of the spinal cord to make HE staining that showed the syringe myelia had been formed.
