Myelotomy reduces spinal cord edema and inhibits aquaporin-4 and aquaporin-9 expression in rats with spinal cord injury
Spinal cord edema contributes to the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying spinal cord injury (SCI) and is associated with functional recovery after SCI. Early myelotomy may be a promising surgical interven...

Optimal time window of myelotomy in rats with acute traumatic spinal cord injury: a preliminary study
Pathophysiological mechanisms underlying spinal cord injury (SCI) partially involve edema and formation of a hematoma. Myelotomy seems to be a promising intervention. However, the appropriate timing of myeloto...

The syntheses and structures of two silver compounds based on Phdat
Based on the organic ligand 2,4-diamine-6-phenyl-1,3,5-triazine (Phdat), two Ag(I) compounds, Ag(Phdat)2(NO3) (I) and Ag(Phdat)2(OAc) (II), have been synthesized and characterized by single crystal X-ray diffract...
