Mesenchymal Stem Cell‐Derived Apoptotic Micro‐Vesicles Repaired Sciatic Nerve Defect by Regulating Early Inflammatory Microenvironment and Promoting Angiogenesis

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
HUCMSC‐Apo‐mvs enhance peripheral nerve repair by modulating the inflammatory microenvironment (IME), primarily through coordinated actions on three functional cells. They recruit macrophages and promote their polarization from pro‐inflammatory M1 to anti‐inflammatory M2 phenotypes, increasing secretion of IL‐10 and VEGF.

An Unusual Presentation of Right-Sided Sciatica with Foot Drop

Case Reports in Orthopedics, 2016
Rarely, sciatica is of extraspinal aetiology. By compressing the sciatic nerve, swelling of the short external rotators of the hip can cause sciatica.

Elevated serum C-reactive protein levels in COVID-19 patients with sciatica: implications for prognosis and treatment strategies

Acta Clinica Croatica
To the best of our knowledge, no previous study has reported characteristics of C-reactive protein (CRP) levels in COVID-19 patients with comorbidities such as sciatica and lumbar syndrome. Th e objective of this study was to examine whether CRP levels
