Spinal microenvironment and metabolic altera-tions after experimental contusional injury of the spinal cord were evaluated in the same Wistar rats. Severe spinal cord injury was made under light GOF anesthesia with a 10g weight drop onto the exposed Th-8 spinal cord from a 10 cm height and then halothane was ceased. The author studied extracel-lular potassium activity ([K+]e) and DC potential for 2 hours after paraplegic spinal cord injury inconscious rats. Furthermore, at 2 hours after cord injury, local spinal cord glucose utilization (1-SCGU) was measured with quantitative autoradio-grapic 2-[14C] deoxy-glucose method (Sokoloff et al.).

[K+]e) in injured spinal cords was 59±5 (mean± S. E. M.) mEq at 10 min after injury and was clear-ed with an exponential half-life of 1 hour. At 2 hours after injury [K+]e) was still high with a value of 16±1 mEq compared with 4 mEq of control animals. DC potential changes was a mirror image of that of [K+]e). DC potential changed by a mean of 10.7 mV positively from 10 min. to 2 hours after injury. 1-SCGU at theimpact site was extremely low in both white and gray matters. At 6 mm rostral from the impact center 1-SCGU was remarkably reduced in the gray matter, and in the lateral white matter. But at 3 mm rostral 1-SCGU was well preserved. And at 20 mm rostmal there was no difference in 1-SCGU with control animals.

Massive potassium efflux from the injured spinal cord to the adjacent spinal segment was clarified at this experiment. Even at 2 hours after spinal cord injury [K+]e was still high. This excess of potas-sium ion could not be buffered with only a passive glial spatial buffering mechanism, therefore it must be metabolic overload for ionic pump or other active buffering mechanisms. Relative enhance-ment of the glucose uptake at 3 mm rostral from the impact center could be due to this metabolic over-load and indicates neuronal damage.
