Abstract:
Objective To observe the histomorphological changes of sciatic nerves following pasteurizing warm temperature treatment. Methods The 12 mm left sciatic nerve from healthy adult male Wistar rats was pasteurized at 60℃ for 30 minutes and observed at the first week (1-week group) and the sixth week (6-week group), 15 rats per group. Number, diameter and area ratio of the myelinated axons in the control (proximal to the treated part), treatment and peripheral nerves (distal to the treated part) were calculated. The histomorphological changes were examined with electrophysiological and electron microscopies. Results (1) In the peripheral part, the number of the myelinated axons was significantly decreased in the 1-week group compared with the control group (P
