Unique Formation of Sciatic Nerve Below the Piriformis Muscle – A Case Report [PDF]
Dorsal and ventral divisions of ventral rami of lower lumbar and sacral spinal nerve were found to pass ventral and dorsal to the piriformis muscle respectively. These divisions joined each other below the piriformis muscle to form sciatic nerve.

Peroxisomal dysfunctions cause lysosomal storage and axonal Kv1 channel redistribution in peripheral neuropathy [PDF]
Impairment of peripheral nerve function is frequent in neurometabolic diseases, but mechanistically not well understood. Here, we report a novel disease mechanism and the finding that glial lipid metabolism is critical for axon function, independent of ...

Biodegradable magnesium wire promotes regeneration of compressed sciatic nerves
Magnesium (Mg) wire has been shown to be biodegradable and have anti-inflammatory properties. It can induce Schwann cells to secrete nerve growth factor and promote the regeneration of nerve axons after central nervous system injury. We hypothesized that

An examination of walking track analysis footprints of right-side unoperated limbs in rats prior to and following peripheral nerve injury and PEG fusion repair [PDF]
Peripheral nerve injury can result in long-lasting functional deficits in humans due to mammals’ limited axon regenerative capacity. PEG fusion is a defined technique that fuses injured axons, resulting in morphological and electrophysiological ...

Sciatic nerve injury related to hip replacement surgery: imaging detection by MR neurography despite susceptibility artifacts. [PDF]
Sciatic nerve palsy related to hip replacement surgery (HRS) is among the most common causes of sciatic neuropathies. The sciatic nerve may be injured by various different periprocedural mechanisms.

Acute- and late-phase matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 activity is comparable in female and male rats after peripheral nerve injury. [PDF]
BACKGROUND:In the peripheral nerve, pro-inflammatory matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 performs essential functions in the acute response to injury. Whether MMP-9 activity contributes to late-phase injury or whether MMP-9 expression or activity after ...
