“…Model of injury: left-side spinal cord hemisection at ТXI level; monitoring the function of hind legs — the BBB scale; pathomorphological study: conventional histological techniques, transmission electronic microscopy.Results. Compression of the spinal cord by biologically compatible foreign body significantly worsens the course of the regeneration process; during the first 8 weeks the hind ipsilateral leg function indicator (HI LFI) in animals was the lowest one — (1.30±0.94) points by BBB scale; during the 3rd–4th month HI LFI increases to 2.35±0.95 points by BBB scale, which is likely due to the change in the form of a foreign body and its utilization, decrease of the pressure on the spinal cord. …”
