چکیده
OBJECTIVE To observe the temporal changes of basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF-2) expression in the spinal cord of a rat model of spared nerve injury (SNI) of the sciatic nerve. METHODS A total of 100 male SD rats were randomly divided into sham-operated group and SNI group. The paw withdrawal threshold to mechanical stimulation was recorded at 1 day before and at 1, 4, 7, 14 and 28 days after the operation. The expressions of FGF-2, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in the L4-6 spinal cord segments of the rats were measured at the specified time points. RESULTS The paw withdrawal threshold began to decline at 1 day after SNI, reached the lowest level at 7 days, and maintained a low level till 28 days (P<0.05). The expression of FGF-2 began to increase significantly on postoperative day 4, reached the peak level on day 14 and maintained the high level till day 28 (P<0.05). The rats with SNI showed significantly higher expressions of TNF-α and IL-6A in the spinal cord than those in the sham-operated group at each time point of measurement (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS SNI of the sciatic nerve can induce neuropathic tactile allodynia and causes up-regulation of FGF-2 and inflammatory cytokines in the spinal cord.

Objective(s) Motor deficit and neuron degeneration is seen after nerve transection. The aim of this study is to determine whether a poled polyvinelidene fluoride (PVDF) tube with other supportive strategies can protect the neuronal morphology and motor function after sciatic nerve transaction in rats.

متن کاملNT-4 Gene Expression of Male Wistar Rat’s Sciatic Nerve Fiber: The Effect of Decreased Activity on the Form of Spinal Nerve Ligation
Background & Objectives: Painful neuropathy is a state resulting from somatosensory disease or injury. Neurotrophins such as NT-4 are crucial for neural growth and development and protect the integrity of function and structure of nervous system. Paying heed to the importance of physical activity in neural plasticity, this study focuses on the investigation of chronic effect of decreased activi...

Purpose: It has been shown that sodium meta silicate has an antioxidant effects and suppress the production of oxidative enzymes. Since the inflammation phenomena and increase the level of free radicals mostly take part in post-injury neuronal degeneration, the purpose of the present research was to examine weather the antioxidant property of sodium meta silicate can prevent the central degener...

Background & Aims: Peripheral nerve injuries affect both sensory and motor function, resulting in retrograde reaction to neuronal cell bodies in the ventral horn of spinal cord ventral and their destruction. Achillea wilhelmsii is one of the popular medicinal herbs which grow in dry and semitropical areas worldwide. There are several reports indicating the anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, anti...

Background and Aim: Peripheral nerve injury occurs in about 3% of the patients suffering from trauma and accidents. This injury induces Wallerian degeneration in the site of injury and, as a retrograde reaction, extends to the cell bodies of injured neurons in the central nervous system. The present study aimed to assess the neuro-protective effects of the alcoholic extract of Artemisia herba-a...
