CORE E -外科核心- Veronica Tom，Ph.D.，Pi 本计划项目中的研究项目将阐明我们对几个问题的理解。 脊髓损伤的治疗方法所有的项目都严重依赖于脊髓损伤的动物模型。 脊髓损伤因此，为了每个项目的成功和整个计划项目的成功， 外科手术是关键手术核心将侧重于增加一致性的措施， 外科手术这种一致性是每一次试验取得成功的必要条件。 研究项目，并将提高所取得的成果的信心。我们将培训人员， 统一性并确定致力于执行特定程序的人员。便利和标准化 培训，我们已经制定了一个手册，描述我们的手术程序和录像带，现在可以使用 对于那些学习技术。我们还将提供必要的手术用品。维罗妮卡·汤姆医生 指导外科中心，高山医生将监督其日常运作。由于动物模型 的脊髓损伤参与了所有的研究项目，手术核心将被每个 个别项目。

CORE E - Surgery Core - Veronica Tom, Ph.D., PI The Research Projects outiined in this Program Project will elucidate our understanding of several therapeutic approaches to spinal cord injury. All of the Projects rely heavily upon animal models of spinal cord injury. Thus, for the success of each Project and for the Program Project as a whole, reliability of surgical procedures is key. The Surgery Core will focus on measures that would increase the consistency of the surgical procedures. Such consistency is integral to the success of the experiments outiined in each of the Research Projects and will improve confidence in the results obtained. We will train personnel for uniformity and identify individuals dedicated to performing specific procedures. To facilitate and standardize training, we have developed a manual describing our Surgery procedures and a videotape is now available for those learning a technique. We will also provide any necessary surgical supplies. Dr. Veronica Tom will direct the Surgery Core and Dr. Takayami Yamagami will supervise its daily operation. Since animal models of spinal cord injury are involved in all of the Research Projects, the Surgery Core will be utilized by each of the individual Projects.
