Electro-acupuncture on functional peripheral nerve regeneration in mice: a behavioural study
BACKGROUND The improvement of axonal regeneration is a major objective in the treatment of peripheral nerve injuries. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of electro-acupuncture on the functional recovery of sensorimotor responses following left sciatic nerve crush in mice. METHODS Sciatic nerve crush was performed on seven week old female mice. Following the injury, the control ...
متن کاملNanotechnology for peripheral nerve regeneration
Peripheral nerve injuries (PNI) can lead to lifetime loss of function and disfigurement. Different methods such as conventional allograft procedures and using of biological tubes have problems for damaged peripheral nerves reconstruction. Designed scaffolds with natural and synthetic materials are now widely used in the reconstruction of damaged tissues. Utilization of absorbable and non-absorb...

متن کاملEffects of Nerve Growth Factor, Insulin- Like Growth Factor-I and Collagen Gel on Peripheral Nerve Channel: Sensory, Functional and Regeneration Through Piezoelectric Electrophysiologicalal Study
Purpose: The limited availability of donor sites for nerve grafts continues to stimulate research toward finding suitable alternatives. Material and Methods: In the following study, the effects of direct administration of Nerve Growth Factor (NGF), Insulin - Like Growth Factor - I (IGF-I) , or / and collagen gel into Polyvinylidene Fluride (PVDF) gap was tested in a rat sciatic nerve model. A ...
متن کاملA biomaterials approach to peripheral nerve regeneration: bridging the peripheral nerve gap and enhancing functional recovery.
Microsurgical techniques for the treatment of large peripheral nerve injuries (such as the gold standard autograft) and its main clinically approved alternative--hollow nerve guidance conduits (NGCs)--have a number of limitations that need to be addressed. NGCs, in particular, are limited to treating a relatively short nerve gap (4 cm in length) and are often associated with poor functional rec...
