✦ Synopsis

A piece of skeletal muscle was used as a conduit to bridge the gap microsurgically between the two ends of the severed sciatic nerve in 30 rats, and a method for histochemical demonstration of acetylcholinesterase was employed to assess the nerve regeneration process 5 weeks or more after the operation. Regenerating nerve fibers were detected in the muscle and could be traced through to the distal stump of the severed sciatic nerve. This suggests that skeletal muscle might serve as a grafting conduit for the repairing of peripheral nerve injuries.

Although the neuropathology of ischaemic fibre degeneration is relatively well known, its pathogenesis is poorly understood. One of the presumed mechanisms is oxidative stress, causing the breakdown of the blood-nerve barrier (BNB) and ending in lipid peroxidation. We evaluated the effect of ischaem

Neurotization of denervated muscles was attempted by means of coaptation of peripheral nerves to the veins draining these muscles.

We have tested the stimulation of Schwann cell migration from the distal stump of a 1 week transected sciatic nerve of adult rats by denervated skeletal muscle.
