Neuronal replacement may be particularly useful in cervical SCI, where loss of motor neurons at the level of damage produce specific deficits, e.g. decreased triceps control.
These authors established a relationship between different levels of damage, produced by the landslide, with different speed thresholds of the mass movement.
Selective vulnerability of certain areas to particular toxins is apparent at all levels of the CNS, although the amount of damage produced by any noxious agent depends on the age and genetic substrate of the subject.
It may thus be hypothesized that the H-reflex changes here reported may be the expression of damage produced at S1 root level by mechanical/ischemic factors.
Electrophoretic DNA migration is proportional to the level of DNA damage producing cometlike images under a fluorescence microscope (magnification 200×).
The addition of NPD1 reversed the damage produced by MPP+, bringing the number of dendrites back to the levels of vehicle-treated neurons.
The entire tree extracts of L. macrophylla worked for normalizing the HDL level which was reduced in the hepatic damage produced by CCl4 injection in normal control group.
As shown in Figure 7C, phosphorylation of H2AX was directly proportional to the peroxidation efficiency of the amino acids, with valine producing the most significant level of damage and serine and methionine producing no detectable DNA damage (Figure 7D).
This is because the activity of the enzyme, pepsin, has been shown to lose its capacity to damage intact esophageal epithelium or isolated esophageal cells at a pH 3.0.16 Consequently, even this modest level of surface buffering in esophagus can protect by negating the potential for more rapid and severe damage produced by the combination of acid-pepsin than by acid alone.
Prolonged exposure to an intense electron beam in an EM produces a level of damage comparable to that caused to living organisms exposed to an atomic explosion.
In each study and for each chosen dose per fraction the total radiation dose (isoeffective dose) that produced some defined level of damage to the normal tissue or to the tumor was determined [ 5, 6].
