The employment of transgenic mouse models for peripheral nerve regeneration studies is continuously increasing. In this paper, we describe a standardized method for inducing a crush lesion in mouse median nerve using a non-serrated clamp exerting a crush compression force of 20.43 MPa for a duration of 30 s. Quantitative assessment of posttraumatic functional recovery by grasping test showed that recovery was very fast and mice returned to baseline performance already after 20 days only. Stereological analysis of nerve fibers distal to the crush lesion showed the presence of axons with a significantly smaller size and thinner myelin sheath in comparison to controls. This experimental nerve injury model is highly reproducible and the impact on animal well-being is minimal. Its employment can be particularly indicated for exploring the basic neurobiological mechanisms of peripheral nerve regeneration.

Objective:To provide useful information for selecting the most appropriate peripheral nerve injury model for different research purposes in nerve injury and repair studies, and to compare nerve regeneration capacity and characteristics between them. Methods:Sixty adult SD rats were randomly divided into two groups and underwent crush injury alone (group A, = 30) or transection injury followed by surgical repair (group B, = 30) of the right hind paw. Each group was subjected to the CatWalk test, gastrocnemius muscle evaluation, pain threshold measurement, electrophysiological examination, retrograde neuronal labeling, and quantification of nerve regeneration before and 7, 14, 21, and 28 days after injury. Results:Gait analysis showed that the recovery speed in group A was significantly faster than that in group B at 14 days. At 21 days, the compound muscle action potential of the gastrocnemius muscle in group A was significantly higher than that in group B, and the number of labeled motor neurons in group B was lower than that in group A. The number of new myelin sheaths and the g-ratio were higher in group A than in group B. There was a 7-day time difference in the regeneration rate between the two injury groups. Conclusion:The regeneration of nerve fibers was rapid after crush nerve injury, whereas the transection injury was relatively slow, which provides some ideas for the selection of clinical research models.

Peripheral nerve injury (PNI) is an incapacitating situation and has no effective therapy until now. We examined the possible role of crude leaves of Lam. at 200 mg/kg body weight in accelerating the functional regain in the sciatic nerve lesion induced mouse model (Adult male albino mice (BALB/c). Motor functions were evaluated by using the sciatic functional index, muscle mass, and muscle grip strength measurement, whereas the sensory functions were evaluated by using the hot plate test. Blood glucose levels and blood cell composition were also analyzed. We found that the crude leaves endorse the sensory and motor functions reclamation following the PNI with a statistically significant difference ( < .05). It also revitalizes the gastrocnemius muscle by mass restoration with glycemic management perspective. Conclusively, the crude powder of leaves exhibited a function restoration boosting property and further detailed studies for its application as a therapeutic agent are strongly recommended.

The problem of regeneration of damaged peripheral nerves is an ongoing topic and has long been the subject of intensive research worldwide. This study examined the morphological and functional evaluation of the regeneration process within the damaged sciatic nerve, a mouse animal model. The effect of impaired expression of the TSC-1 gene on the process of nerve regeneration was evaluated, depending on the mode of damage. The research object consisted of 48, 2-month-old male TSC lines. The test group consisted of animals that underwent damage to the sciatic nerve by crushing, freezing and electrocoagulation, while the control group includes mice whose sciatic nerve was not damaged. Behavioral tests were conducted to evaluate the functional return of the limb, after 3,5,7 and 14 days. The first changes in the regeneration process of the damaged neurite are observed as early as day 3 after the injury, while on day 14 after the injury the functional return of the damaged limb was noted.
