Coil-reinforced hydrogel tubes promote nerve regeneration equivalent to that of nerve autografts.
Despite spontaneous sprouting of peripheral axons after transection injury, peripheral regeneration is incomplete and limited to short gaps, even with the use of autograft tissue, which is considered to be the "gold" standard. In an attempt to obviate some of the problems associated with autografts, including limited donor tissue and donor site morbidity, we aimed to synthesize a synthetic nerv...
متن کاملAbstract: Assessment of Peripheral Nerve Regeneration Using Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) in Reverse and Forward Autografts
deep fascia about 1 cm lateral to the origin of the zygomaticus major muscle; one ramus passed superficially above the upper third of the muscle. On the right side, this was not seen. The main zygomatic retaining ligaments are located immediately lateral to the origin of the zygomaticus major muscle. The zygomatic branches are usually located deep to the deep fascia in the lateral area of the m...
متن کاملSirtuin 1 regulates lipid metabolism associated with optic nerve regeneration.
Injury to the optic nerve may lead to axonal degeneration, followed by the gradual death of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), which results in irreversible vision loss. In the present study the mechanism of optic nerve injury, and the following regeneration and repair processes associated with sirtuin 1 (SIRT1)‑regulated lipid metabolism were analyzed. In addition, the treatment of optic nerve inj...
متن کاملAtf3 mutant mice show reduced axon regeneration and impaired regeneration-associated gene induction after peripheral nerve injury
Axon injury in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) induces a regeneration-associated gene (RAG) response. Atf3 (activating transcription factor 3) is such a RAG and ATF3's transcriptional activity might induce 'effector' RAGs (e.g. small proline rich protein 1a (Sprr1a), Galanin (Gal), growth-associated protein 43 (Gap43)) facilitating peripheral axon regeneration. We provide a first analysis o...
متن کاملEffect of platelet-rich plasma on reconstruction with nerve autografts.
Despite advances in understanding of peripheral nerve injuries and regeneration and advances in surgical techniques, successful outcomes cannot be guaranteed after reconstructive surgery. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has been reported to have positive effects on nerve regeneration, as well as on tissue healing. The present study was designed to evaluate the effect of PRP on nerve-grafted defects....
