چکیده
T husday, M ay 4, 2017 improvement in visual acuity six months post-operatively. Histological examination of explanted corneal tissue confirmed the presence of neurofilament+ axon profiles in the cornea after neurotisation. Analysis of MEG data identified a clear absence of evoked response in the anaesthetic (right) cornea prior to neurotisation. Following neurotisation, an evoked response was detected in same (right) cornea, which was localized to the ipsilateral motor cortex, suggesting that the origin of the (right) corneal sensation after neurotisation was derived from the contralateral (left) forehead.

Effect of reinnervation on the degradation rate of junctional acetylcholine receptors synthesized in denervated skeletal muscles.
Two populations of ACh receptors (AChRs) with different degradation rates have been shown to coexist in the postsynaptic membrane after denervation of the neuromuscular junction (NMJ). One population, consisting of the slowly degrading original AChRs inserted into the plasma membrane prior to denervation, has a degradation half-life (t1/2) of approximately 8 d. This degradation rate accelerates...
متن کاملSodium channel mRNAs at the neuromuscular junction: distinct patterns of accumulation and effects of muscle activity.
Voltage-gated sodium channels (VGSCs) are highly concentrated at the neuromuscular junction (NMJ) in mammalian skeletal muscle. Here we test the hypothesis that local upregulation of mRNA contributes to this accumulation. We designed radiolabeled antisense RNA probes, specific for the "adult" Na(V)1.4 and "fetal" Na(V)1.5 isoforms of VGSC in mammalian skeletal muscle, and used them in in situ h...
متن کاملCardiac troponin T and fast skeletal muscle denervation in ageing
BACKGROUND Ageing skeletal muscle undergoes chronic denervation, and the neuromuscular junction (NMJ), the key structure that connects motor neuron nerves with muscle cells, shows increased defects with ageing. Previous studies in various species have shown that with ageing, type II fast-twitch skeletal muscle fibres show more atrophy and NMJ deterioration than type I slow-twitch fibres. Howeve...
متن کاملThe Role of the Wnt3a and the Beta-Catenin Signaling Pathway at the Motor Endplate following Traumatic Nerve Injury
Introduction: Major peripheral nerve injuries lead to significant functional deficits. Although the general belief is that the regenerative capacity of the PNS when compared to the CNS is much more robust after nerve insult, this does not translate in the clinical setting. A reason for this phenomenon may be explained by end-organ atrophy. We recently showed that preservation of the motor endpl...
متن کاملAcetylcholine receptors in innervated muscles of dystrophic mdx mice degrade as after denervation.
Acetylcholine receptors (AChRs) are present at the top of the postsynaptic membrane of the neuromuscular junction (NMJ) at very high density, possibly anchored to cytoskeletal elements. The present study investigated whether AChR degradation is affected in animals lacking dystrophin, a protein that is an integral part of the cytoskeletal complex and is missing in Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Th...
