Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the effect of methycobal on peripheral nerve regeneration.Methods:Thirty Wistar rats were divided into normal group(N),model group(M)and methycobal group(B).Each group contained 10 rats.The model of rat with sciatic nerve half injury was made by clamp.Rats were fed with methycobal in B group,and same dose of normal saline was fed in N and M groups.The nerve tissue(silver nitrate stain)and gastrocnemius tissue(HE stain)were obtained to observe the morphologic index,functional index(sciatic nerve function index,differential value of hind legs tensile force,gastrocnemius wet weight index)after 14 days.Results:There were nerve fiber sparseness,disposition disorder,and decrease of gastrocnemius cross section area,sciatic nerve function index,and differential value of hind legs tensile force,gastrocnemius wet weight index diminutu in M group compared with those of N group(P < 0.01).There were more nerve fiber,normal gastrocnemius cross section area,and higher sciatic nerve function index and gastrocnemius wet weight index in B group compared with those of M group(P< 0.01),whereas which were also different compared with those of N group(P< 0.01).Conclusion:Methycobal can promote the axon growth,postpone sarcous anaiosis of denervation,and enhance functional recovery of peripheral nerve injury.
