Data of MSCs combined with LITUS treatment to improve cognitive impairment in a moderate traumatic brain injury model in rats.

ABSTRACT: Here, we treated moderately traumatic brain injury (TBI) rats with different modalities, including transplantation with mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), treatment with low-intensity transcranial ultrasound stimulation (LITUS), and a combination of the two. After the TBI rat model was established, MSCs (in situ injection within 24 h after injury), LITUS (continuous uninterrupted treatment for 28 days) or combined MSCs + LITUS were administered, and mNSS score, performance of behavior and multiple protein levels were compared between groups by behavioral observation, neurological function assessment and pathological analysis. Nestin, neuron-specific enolase (NSE), growth-associated protein 43 (GAP-43) and postsynaptic density protein (PSD-95) were significantly increased and glial fibri
