Schwann units in the human foetal phrenic nerve.
نویسندگان
چکیده
In three human foetuses aged 15, 17, and 23 weeks the number of axons surrounded by single Schwann cells was counted. These Schwann cell/axon complexes form the Schwann units. The largest Schwann units in the foetus aged 15 weeks contained 232 axons, in the foetus of 17 weeks the number was 140 and in the foetus of 23 weeks the largest units contained 65 axons.

Background: Supraclavicular nerve block is a method for upper limb surgery in Anesthesiology. In this method that is common for supraclavicular block, injection anesthesia on the first rib and it has complications such as pneumothorax, phrenic never pulsy, infection, intra spinal injection. In this study injection with a 10 degree cephalic side as compared with the first rib in order to decreas...
متن کاملElectrophysiological Study of Sciatic Nerve Regeneration Through Tubes Seeded with Schwann Cells
A B S T R A C TIntroduction: Peripheral nerve injury is a common disorder and leads to permanent neurological defects. Schwann cells have been shown to have nerve repair after being transplanted in peripheral nerve injury. The aim of this study was to determine the beneficial effect of allograft Schwann cells on electrophysiological outcome after transection of the sciatic nerve in rats.Methods...
متن کاملHuman Olfactory Ecto-mesenchymal Stem Cells Displaying Schwann-Cell-Like Phenotypes and Promoting Neurite Outgrowth in Vitro
Strategies of Schwann cell (SC) transplantation to regenerate the peripheral nerve injury involves many limitations. Stem cells can be used as alternative cell sources for differentiation into SCs. Given the high potential of neural crest-derived stem cells for the generation of multiple cell lineages, in this research, we considered whether olfactory ecto-mesenchymal stem cells (OE-MSCs) derive...

The relationship between the anatomy and neurochemistry of neurons in the ventral medulla oblongata in regions that is responsible for cardiovascular, airways, and respiratory regulation was investigated. Microinjections of excitant amino acid (glutamate, 100 nl, 100 mM) were made throughout the ventral medulla in anesthetized rats. Arterial blood pressure, sympathetic nerve activity and phreni...

Background and Aim: Peripheral nerve injuries are among the most common types of injuries of the nervous system and are regarded as the main cause of disability. These injuries can lead to disorders in muscles movement and normal sense, and also painful neuropathy. Tissue engineering and stem cells therapy are among the treatment methods for these disorders. In this study we assessed sciatic ne...
