Popis: BackgroundThe purpose of this study is the investigation of the effects of intrathecally injected dexmedetomidine and methylprednisolone and their dominancy over one another in rats with generated Spinal Cord Injury (SCI).Methods40, female, adult Wistar Albino rats weighing 220–260 g were included in the study. The rats were fixed with Intrathecal catheter (IT) and divided into four groups. All subjects were applied T7–10 laminectomy after catheter. Group S (n:10) was injected with IT 10 μL isotonic saline; Group C (n:10) with IT 10 μL isotonic saline after SCI; Group D (n:10) with IT one doze 10 μL of dexmedetomidine after SCI; Group M (n:10) IT one dose 10 μL of methylprednisolone. The subjects were sacrificed 72 h after this operation. The damaged area was removed biochemically and histopathologically examined.ResultsAntioxidant and inflammatory parameters searched for in all damages tissue were statistically different in all groups from group S. They were different in group M and group D than group C (p
