Objective-To evaluate effect of chitosan conduit for peripheral nerve regeneration using sciatic nerve transection model in rat Design- Experimental in vivo study. Animals- Sixty healthy male Wistar rats. Procedures-The rats were divided into four experimental groups (n=15) randomly. In sham group the left sciatic nerve was exposed through a gluteal muscle incision and after careful...

Objective(s): To investigate the effect of topical administration of alpha-lipoic acid into chitosan conduit on peripheral nerve regeneration using a rat sciatic nerve transection model. Materials and Methods: Forty five Wistar rats were divided into three experimental groups randomly. A 10-mm gap of sciatic nerve was bridged with a chitosan conduit following surgical preparation and anesthesia...

objective(s):  the aim of this study was to evaluate the final outcome of nerve regeneration across the eggsell membrane (esm) tube conduit in comparison with autograft. materials and methods: thirty adult male rats (250-300 g) were randomized into (1) esm conduit, (2) autograft, and (3) sham surgery groups. the eggs submerged in 5% acetic acid. the decalcifying membranes were cut into four pie...

Introduction: Intraparotid neurofibromas of the facial nerve are extremely rare and mostly associated with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). Case Report: This is a case of a healthy 40-year-old man, which underwent surgery for a preoperatively diagnosed benign parotid gland lesion. After identification of the facial nerve main trunk, a single large mass (6 x 3 cm) incorporating the upper nerve d...

objective(s):diabetic neuropathy (dn) is a common complication of diabetes that leads to allodynia, impaired nerve conduction, and progressive sensory loss. the aim of this study was to observe the effect of a high-affinity cannabinoid receptors agonist, win 55,212-2, on thermal hyperalgesia, nerve conduction velocity and sciatic nerve histopathology in diabetic rats. materials and methods: dia...

objective(s): to investigate the effect of topical administration of alpha-lipoic acid into chitosan conduit on peripheral nerve regeneration using a rat sciatic nerve transection model. materials and methods: forty five wistar rats were divided into three experimental groups randomly. a 10-mm gap of sciatic nerve was bridged with a chitosan conduit following surgical preparation and anesthesia...

Objective- Comprehensive functional, histomorphometrical and immunohistochemical assessment of sciatic nerve regeneration through an inside-out vein graft in rat. Design- Experimental in vivo study. Animals- Fifty- four healthy male White Albino rats. Procedures- The rats were divided into three experimental groups (n=18), randomly: Sham-operation (NC), Transected control (TC) and Inside-out ve...

the nervous system has an important and vital role in the human body, but unfortunately the repairment of damaged nervous tissue is very slowly. for a long time, the scientists have been involved in finding ways to speed up this process. radiation of low power he-ne laser has been suggested to as a way to improve this issue. in this study, 20 rats were divided randomly into control and case gro...
