Abstract:
Objective To disclose the relationship of the target muscle function and different time interval after nerve grafting reconstructed C5 root resection in young rats.Methods Model of C5 resection was set up in 48 18-day-old SD rats.The rats were randomly divided into C5 resection group,immediate repairing group,3 days delayed repairing group,and 6,9,12,15,18 days delayed repairing groups.Each group experienced nerve grafting bridged the C5 nerve root defection at its time interval.At 6 weeks postoperatively,electrophysiological and histochemical experiment were performed.Results There was no statistical difference among the data of CMAP amplitude and latency and weight of target muscles and number of distal myelinated fiber of immediate repairing group and those of 3,6 days delayed repair group at 6 weeks postoperatively,but compared with C5 resection group,the dates was statistically higher.There was no statistical difference between the data of C5 resection group and that of 15,18 days delayed repairing group.Conclusion Nerve reconstruction for C5 root injury in young rats within 0-6 days (equal to 0-4 months in human beings) has a satisfactory protective effect on target muscles.It suggests that the OBPP children who have the operation indication should undergo surgical management in 4 months after their birth.
