Diagnostic and therapeutic management of spinal arachnoid cysts.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Neuroprotective effects of recombinant human activated Protein C (rhAPC) in models of Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) and ischemic stroke have been reported in rodents. To rule out immunogenicity of rhAPC and to possibly maintain the physiological PC/thrombin balance the use of zymogen PC in SCI might be preferable...
