The distribution of electron-dense tracers in peripheral nerve fibres.

Two electron-dense tracers, ferritin and lanthanum, have been administered to peripheral nerve fibres, and their uptake has been studied ultrastructurally. It was found that the perineurium was an effective barrier to ferritin in vivo, and the tracer was subsequently injected sub-perineurially. Ferritin uptake over a 120-min period was confined to occasional phagocytic vesicles in perineurial a...

The Non-centrifugal Degeneration of Severed Peripheral Nerve

NEUMANN in 1868 proposed the idea that severed peripheral nerve degenerates centrifugally; i.e., the degenerative processes start at the cut end and progress slowly towards the periphery. This view, opposing the conception of simultaneous degeneration advanced by Lent in 1856, started a controversy as yet unsettled. Most of the arguments on both sides have been based on histological evidence-on...

The Effect of Ultrasound on Acceleration of Peripheral Nerve Injury

Background: Many people suffer from nerve injury. The time consuming nature of the treatments makes the condition worse. Therefore, finding a way to accelerate the process of nerve repair is very important.Objective: To determine the effect of ultrasound on the acceleration of crushed peripheral nerve regeneration.Methods: The experimental model included crushed rat’s sciatic nerve. 40 rats w...
