Effect of trapidil on the sciatic nerve with crush injury: a light microscopic study
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this study, 40 female albino wistar rats were used. The sciatic nerves were crushed for 20 seconds by a jeweler’s forceps. A single dose of 8 mg/kg of trapidil was administered to the treatment group intraperitoneally. After the crush injury, the crush site was excised on 2nd, 7th, 15th, 30th, and 45th days, fixed in formalin and then prepared for routine histological evaluation. Each section was stained with toluidin blue. Myelin thicknesses were measured by an ocular micrometer.

Crocin Enhanced Functional Recovery after Sciatic Nerve Crush Injury in Rats
Objective(s): Crocin is a constituent of saffron and has many biological functions. The present study aimed to investigate the effects of intraperitoneal (IP) injection of crocin on sciatic nerve regeneration in male Wistar rats. Materials and Methods: Fifty-four rats were divided into 9 groups: groups 1-4 (intact + normal saline and intact + crocin at doses of 5, 20 and 80 mg/kg, respectively)...

Purpose:The regeneration of axon and myelin sheet after crush injury of peripheral nerves involves interaction of several types of cells, including Schwann cells, monocyte, macrophage and fibroblast. Among them, haematogenous macrophages invading into the peripheral nervous systein play a major role in myelin uptake during Wallerian degeneration. Materials and Methods: In this study 35 C57/BL6 ...
متن کاملThe effect of ubiquinone on functional recovery and morphometric indices of sciatic nerve regeneration
A common cause of peripheral nerve injury is trauma. The positive effect of antioxidants on the improvement of nerve regeneration has currently become a focus of attention. In this experiment, the effect of intraperitoneal administration of ubiquinone (CoQ10) on an acute experimentally sciatic nerve crush was studied in a rat model. Forty-five male Wistar rats, weighing between 160-180 g were u...
