“…Therefore, the nerve can be injured by neuropraxia, axonotmosis or neurotmesis, the latter being more severe, which can lead to motor, sensory and functional losses, significantly interfering with the individual's daily, employment, social and emotional activities [1][2][3]. The incidence rate in the population compared to those of peripheral nerve damage is about 2% to 2.8%, reaching 5% when involving nerve plexuses and root nerves [4][5][6].…”

Purpose: The aim of this study was to perform a mini-review on the effects of low-level laser therapy on nerve regeneration. Methods:In this study, the authors associated the new fibrin sealant derived from snake venom as a method of nerve repair end-to-side. Results and conclusion:The use of fibrin sealant effectively provided an axonal regeneration, and the association with low-level laser therapy elevated this regenerative process, as demonstrated in the morphometric and morphological analyzes.

“…A variety of experimental models have been used to study processes involving degeneration and regeneration of the peripheral nerves; animal models such as dogs and cats 1 , rabbits 2 , guinea pigs 3 , pigs 4 , and rats 5,6 have been used, each with its own advantages and disadvantages, but we still remain far from the ideal model.…”

Intellectual and scientific content of the study. ABSTRACT PURPOSE:To evaluate a new model of intraoperative electromyographic (EMG) assessment of the tibial and fibular nerves, and its respectives motor units in rats. METHODS:Eight Wistar rats underwent intraoperative EMG on both hind limbs at two different moments: week 0 and week 12.Supramaximal electrical stimulation applied on sciatic nerve, and compound muscle action potential recorded on the gastrocnemius muscle (GM) and the extensor digitorum longus muscle (EDLM) through electrodes at specifics points. Motor function assessment was performaced through Walking Track Test. RESULTS:Exposing the muscles and nerves for examination did not alter tibial (p=0.918) or fibular (p=0.877) function between the evaluation moments. Electromyography of the GM, innervated by the tibial nerve, revealed similar amplitude (p=0.069) and latency (p=0.256) at week 0 and at 12 weeks, creating a standard of normality. Meanwhile, electromyography of the EDLM, innervated by the fibular nerve, showed significant differences between the amplitudes (p=0.003) and latencies (p=0.021) at the two different moments of observation. CONCLUSION:Intraoperative electromyography determined and quantified gastrocnemius muscle motor unit integrity, innervated by tibial nerve. Although this study was not useful to, objectively, assess extensor digitorum longus muscle motor unit, innervated by fibular nerve.

“…Ademais, a quantidade de axônios no interior desse ramo é relativamente constante e independe da idade e peso do animal (36,43). Outra vantagem reside na semelhança estrutural com o nervo facial de humanos, que também contém fascículos, ao contrário do tronco do NF dos ratos (36,42,51 (27,38,39,89). Além disso, várias publicações prévias atestam a influência do sexo dos animais sobre seu desempenho na regeneração neural.…”

OBJECTIVE: To test the outcome of a novel method of polyethylene glycol (PEG)-fusion on FN transection using electrophysiological and histophormometric parameters. METHODS: Wistar rats were divided into 4 groups. After FN transection, the control group was submitted to end-to-end anastomosis with microsutures. Group 2 was submitted to microsutures plus the PEG-fusion protocol. This protocol consisted in bathing nerve stumps with a calcium-free Krebs solution containing methylene blue (MB) before suturing. After suturing, the repaired nerve received a PEG solution followed by a calciumcontaining Krebs solution. Group 3 received microsutures plus the MB solution and group 4 received microsutures plus the PEG solution. Compound muscle action potentials (CMAPs) were recorded before the intervention and 3 and 6 weeks afterwards. Histomorphometric analysis was done at 6 weeks time. RESULTS:The PEG-fusion protocol yielded larger CMAP amplitude, smaller CMAP duration at 3 and 6 weeks and a larger axon count and axon diameter. Between the other groups, no significant difference was seen. CONCLUSION: PEG-fusion produces better FN recovery after transection, when considering electrophysiological and histomorphometric analysis and may be of use in clinical scenarios of FN cut-severance followed by immediate repair.

Bone marrow stem cells in facial nerve regeneration from isolated stumps

Abstract: Regeneration of the facial nerve was improved by both uBMSC and dBMSC in rats, yet uBMSC was associated with superior functional results.
