Сellular metabolism in the small intestinal mucosa in the acute period of traumatic spinal cord disease

Enteric insufficiency is the primary metabolic pathway that predicts the development of a number of surgical complications, including decubital ulcers. The ability to monitor metabolic processes in vivo has become possible with the development of noninvasive technologies for analyzing metabolic cofactors in living cells. One such method is fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM). This technique was used to test the hypothesis regarding the trigger mechanism for enteric insufficiency in the acute phase of spinal cord injury. Despite the high clinical significance of this topic, similar studies have not been conducted previously in Russia or internationally.
