Abstract
The problem with modern nerve conduits is inability to transmit nerve impulses to the distal part of the damaged nerve. Cationic conductivity is a necessary characteristic of the nerve conduit ensuring effective regeneration of the peripheral nerves. We performed a functional assessment of the regeneration of rat sciatic nerve using a nerve conduit based on an ion-exchange membrane. A sciatic nerve defect was experimentally simulated in Wistar rats with further implantation of the LF-4SK membrane. On days 60 and 90 after surgery, the sciatic functional index and the ratio of the shin girth of the operated limb to the intact limb were calculated; on day 90, an electrophysiological assessment of nerve recovery was carried out. The results of the study showed that the conduit based on the LF-4SK membrane optimizes the functional recovery of the sciatic nerve defect.
期刊介绍:
Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine presents original peer reviewed research papers and brief reports on priority new research results in physiology, biochemistry, biophysics, pharmacology, immunology, microbiology, genetics, oncology, etc. Novel trends in science are covered in new sections of the journal - Biogerontology and Human Ecology - that first appeared in 2005.
World scientific interest in stem cells prompted inclusion into Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine a quarterly scientific journal Cell Technologies in Biology and Medicine (a new Russian Academy of Medical Sciences publication since 2005). It publishes only original papers from the leading research institutions on molecular biology of stem and progenitor cells, stem cell as the basis of gene therapy, molecular language of cell-to-cell communication, cytokines, chemokines, growth and other factors, pilot projects on clinical use of stem and progenitor cells.
The Russian Volume Year is published in English from April.
