Laser injury of peripheral nerve: a model for focal endoneurial damage.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A model of endoneurial oedema is presented which produces localised nerve fibre injury including Wallerian degeneration, endoneurial oedema and increased endoneurial fluid pressure. A carbon dioxide laser was used to irradiate rat sciatic nerve and quantitative results were collected 2 days and 6 days after irradiation. The increase in endoneurial fluid pressure is compared with other models of Wallerian degeneration in which the entire fascicle was involved to aid in a comparative study of the role of oedema in neuropathy.

Pathologic Remodeling of Endoneurial Tubules in Human Neuromas
BACKGROUND Laminins are extracellular matrix proteins that participate in endoneurial tubule formation and are important in the regeneration of nerves after injury. They act as scaffolds to guide nerves to distal targets and play a key role in neurite outgrowth. Because there is evidence that laminin architecture affects nerve regeneration, we evaluated endoneurial tubules by examining the lami...
متن کاملبررسی آسیب ناشی از ایسکمی و برقراری مجدد خون رسانی عصب
Background and Objective: Ischemia plays a major role in development of pathological changes in various neuropathies. Reperfusion amplifies physiological and pathological abnormalities in ischemic nerves. In this research, we studied ischemic-reperfusion (IR) injury of sciatic nerve up to 14 days of reperfusion. Materials & Methods: IR was produced by ligation and release of nooses around suppl...
متن کاملThe Effect of Ultrasound on Acceleration of Peripheral Nerve Injury
Background: Many people suffer from nerve injury. The time consuming nature of the treatments makes the condition worse. Therefore, finding a way to accelerate the process of nerve repair is very important.Objective: To determine the effect of ultrasound on the acceleration of crushed peripheral nerve regeneration.Methods: The experimental model included crushed rat’s sciatic nerve. 40 rats w...
متن کاملSkin denervation, neuropathology, and neuropathic pain in a laser-induced focal neuropathy.
Small-diameter sensory nerves innervating the skin are responsive to noxious stimuli, and an injury to these nerves is presumably related to neuropathic pain. Injury-induced neuropathic pain in animals can be produced by laser irradiation, which usually requires concomitant use of photosensitive dyes, known as the photochemical approach. It is not clear whether laser irradiation alone can induc...
متن کاملChanges in the blood-nerve barrier after sciatic nerve cold injury: indications supporting early treatment
Severe edema in the endoneurium can occur after non-freezing cold injury to the peripheral nerve, which suggests damage to the blood-nerve barrier. To determine the effects of cold injury on the blood-nerve barrier, the sciatic nerve on one side of Wistar rats was treated with low temperatures (3-5°C) for 2 hours. The contralateral sciatic nerve was used as a control. We assessed changes in the...
