  Study Design: This study investigated the outcome of epigallocatechin (EGCG) against edema after spinal cord injury (SCI). Objective: To perform the evidence correlation of EGCG with p38MAPK\NF-κB\AQP4 signaling pathway, also explore the effect of EGCG on edema after SCI, and clarify the possible mechanism of the EGCG reducing the edema after SCI. Summary of background data: Although some studies show that EGCG have a protective effect on nerve cells, there are few documents covering the relation between EGCG and SCI. On the basis of confirming significant inhibition of EGCG against edema after SCI, our research group intended to take the lead in further demonstrating the mechanism of anti-edema of EGCG against SCI. Methods: 160 rats were randomly divided into sham - surgery, SCI, E.. Read More»
