Abstract:
Objectives To investigate the normal value of myelinated fibre (MF) of healthy human sural nerve. Methods By morphometric analysis on biopsy of 41 normal subjects’sural nerve, the density of MF, and the distribution and proportion of short and long diameters of MF were measured. Results The number of MF for each body had arange from 5 057 to 10 104, and the density of MF showed 5 250～11 413 mm 2. The distribution on diameter size of MF was found double peaked.Conclusions Following the age increase, the density of MF in Chinese people is substantially decreased. As compared with the study of some western countries, the results show that the density value of MF in our study is significant higher than those from the western countrics ( P =0 002 4).
