Abstract P27: Macrophage Recruitment and Activation to Skeletal Muscle after Acute Nerve Injury
نویسندگان
چکیده
PURPOSE: Regenerative Peripheral Nerve Interfaces (RPNIs) can be used to treat symptomatic end neuromas that develop after major limb amputation. Symptomatic neuromas occur in approximately 30–40% of individuals after limb loss and phantom limb pain affects 70–95% of these patients. We investigate the potential of prophylactic RPNIs to prevent neuroma formation and to mitigate the experience of phantom limb pain. Furthermore, we examine the potential complications resulting from the addition of prophylactic RPNIs to major limb amputation surgery.

Injury to skeletal muscle of mice following acute and sub-acute pregabalin exposure
Objective(s): Pregabalin (PGB) is a new antiepileptic drug that has received FDA approval for patient who suffers from central neuropathic pain, partial seizures, generalized anxiety disorder, fibromyalgia and sleep disorders. This study was undertaken to evaluate the possible adverse effects of PGB on the muscular system of mice. Materials and Methods: To evaluate the effect of PGB on skeletal...

We report a case of a 29-year-old man who presented with a distal humeral shaft fracture sustained by blunt trauma. Physicalexamination and nerve conduction study were consistent with injury to the median and radial nerves proximal to theelbow. The patient underwent open reduction and internal fixation of the humeral shaft fracture with neurolysis of the medianand radial nerves. Repeat electrom...

Macrophages are one of the first barriers of host defence against pathogens. Beyond their role in innate immunity, macrophages play increasingly defined roles in orchestrating the healing of various injured tissues. Perturbations of macrophage function and/or activation may result in impaired regeneration and fibrosis deposition as described in several chronic pathological diseases. Heterogenei...

Objective(s): To investigate the systemic and local immune status of two surgical rat models of sciatic nerve injury, a crushed sciatic nerve, and a sciatic nerve transection Materials and Methods:Twenty-four adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into three groups: sham-operation (control group), sciatic nerve crush, and sciatic nerve transaction. Sciatic nerve surgery was perfor...
متن کاملThe effect of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells on recovery of skeletal muscle after neurotization surgery in rat
Objective(s): When the nerve is injured near its entrance to the muscle belly, we cannot perform conventional methods. One useful method in such a situation is neurotization surgery. In this study, Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) implanted into the paralyzed muscle after neurotization surgery. These cells can stimulate axon growth and motor endplate formation, also prevent muscle atr...
