Does cathodic Electrical Stimulation Combined With Vancomycin enhance Treatment of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus Implant-associated Infections?
In this rodent model, cathodic voltage-controlled electrical stimulation combined with vancomycin is an effective treatment for titanium implant-associated infections showing greater than 99.8% reduction in bacterial burden on the implant, surrounding bone, and synovial fluid as compared with the controls and the stimulation alone groups.
Both NSC transplantation and NGF treatment can obviously improve the neurological function of rats after MCAO, but their combined use shows stronger effects. NGF can promote autologous NSC activation and proliferation, with also stimulatory effect on the proliferation of transplanted NSCs.
