Abstract: Objective To evaluate whether S-100β protein could be a serum marker for traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI). Methods From June, 2013 to October, 2014, 24 patients with complete SCI were measured the serum S- 100β protein concentrations with enzyme- linked immunosorbent assay, one week, three and six months after SCI. Serum from ten healthy persons was as normal control. Results The serum S-100β protein concentrations increased one week and 3 months after SCI (Z>4.273, P<0.001). Conclusion The increase of serum S-100β protein may help assessing early impairment after complete SCI.
