Abstract

Objective To study the relationship between the immunoreactive changes of 5-HT2A receptor and tail Spasticity, within spinal L1 segment after SCI, and to provide a theoretical basis for The treatment of spinal cord injury. Methods Sixty adult males Wistar rats were randomly separated into three groups: control group, attacked group and transversed group. To study 5-HT2AR immunoreactivity and hyperexcitability of tail of rats.    Results    (1) Compared the attacked and transversed groups with the control group, 5-HT2AR-IR density significantly increased in both attacked and transversed groups compared with that in the control group. (2) Spasticity and reflective hyperfunction symptom after SCI were positively correlated with 5-HT2AR-IR density and extent of SCI.    Conclusion    Spasticity and reflective hyperfunction symptom after SCI are positively correlated wtih 5-HT2AR-IR density  and the extent of SCI, which provides the theoretical basis for  using 5-HT2A receptor blockers in patients with limb spasm.
