Methods Forty-eight rats were randomly divided into three groups (n=16). Following a 10 mm gap was made in one side of the sciatic nerve of each rat; previously prepared SIS and auto-nerve graft were interposed into the gap to reconnect the proximal and distal ends of the nerve, respectively. In the control group, the nerve gap remained unconnected. The samples of the SIS, graft, and distal nerve in group 1 and group 2 were harvested at 6 weeks and 10 weeks after operation, respectively. Axonal regeneration was evaluated by histology, electrophysiology, and quantitated by using computer-analyzed image.Results Regenerative nerve fibers were evident which contained much myelinated axons and grew over the gap in the SIS conduits at 10 weeks. Electrophysiological examination and computer-analyzed image showed that axonal regeneration in the SIS group was similar to that in the auto-nerve grafting group at 10 weeks. Conclusion SIS as a conduit possesses the ability for axonal regeneration of the peripheral nerve, thereby having a potential to be an alternative bio-material instead of the autograft to repair the peripheral nerve gap.展开更多

Methods： Forty-five male healthy white Wistar rats were randomly divided into three experimental groups （n= 15 for each）： sham-operation （SHAM）, control （SIL） and celecoxib treated （SIL/CLX） groups. In SHAM group after anesthesia left sciatic nerve was exposed and after homeo- stasis muscle was sutured. In SIL group the left sciatic nerve was exposed in the same way and transected proximal to tibioperoneal bifurcation leaving a 10 mm gap. Proximal and distal stumps were each inserted into a silicone tube and filled with 10 gl phosphate buffered solution. In SIL/CLX group defect was bridged using a silicone tube filled with 10 μl celecoxib （0.1 g/L）. Results： Functional study and gastrocnemius muscle mass confirmed faster and better recovery of regenerated axons in SIL/CLX than in SIL group （P〈0.05）. Morphometric indices of regenerated fibers showed number and diameter of the myelinated fibers in SIL/CLX were significantly greater than those in control group. In immunohistochemistry, lo- cation of reactions to S-100 in SIL/CLX was clearly more positive than that in SIL group. Conclusion： Response to local treatment ofcelecoxib demonstrates that it influences and improves functional re- covery of peripheral nerve regeneration.展开更多
