In the present study, we examined the inflammatory response one week after multiple cervical root transections. Methods: In the transection group, the left cervical roots (C6-8) of rats were cut at the spinal cord junction. In the repair group, transected roots were repaired with nerve grafts and the subsequent application of aFGF and fibrin glue. A sham group had nerve roots exposed without transection. Mechanical allodynia and spinal glial responses were evaluated. Results: Allodynia did not differ between the treatment groups on day 2. Rats with transected spinal nerve roots had significantly more allodynia by 7 days, which was associated with IL-1\u03b2 expression in dorsal and ventral horn astrocytes, and microglia activation. Repair of nerve roots with autologous intercostal nerve grafts and FGF in fibrin glue attenuated the allodynia, reduced IL-1\u03b2 expression in astroctyes and reduced microglia activation, along with a significant increase in arginase I expression. Conclusion: This study demonstrated a correlation between an increased number of IL-1\u03b2-positive astrocytes and the development of allodynia. Our treatment significantly decreased IL-1\u03b2-positive astrocytes, thus preventing the occurrence of neuropathic pain following multiple cervical root injuries.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3233\/rnn-2011-0597","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,12,3]],"date-time":"2019-12-03T18:05:11Z","timestamp":1575396311000},"page":"265-274","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Treatment
