Background: Curcumin has protective effects on a variety of CNS injury models. Our purpose was to assess the effects of curcumin on the dorsal root ganglion (DRG) and functional recovery in sciatic nerve crush (SNC) of rats. Methods: The fifth lumbar DRG was removed 28 days after SNC. Sciatic functi

The present study deals with changes in numbers and sizes of primary afferent neurons (dorsal root ganglion [DRG] cells) after sciatic nerve transection. We find that this lesion in adult rats leads to death of some DRG cells by 8 weeks and 37% by 32 weeks after the lesion. The loss of cells appears
To elucidate the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying chronic nerve-stretch injury, we gradually lengthened rat femurs by 15 mm at the rate of 0.5 mm/day (group L, n = 13). The control groups comprised sham-operated (group S, n = 10) and naive (group N, n = 8) rats. Immediately after the lengthe
