THE ROLE OF VASCULARIZATION IN NERVE REGENERATION OF NERVE GRAFT

The role of vascularization in nerve regeneration of nerve graft

Vascularization is an important factor in nerve graft survival and function.The specific molecular regulations and patterns of angiogenesis following peripheral nerve injury are in a broad complex of pathways.This review aims to summarize current knowledge on the role of vascularization in nerve regeneration, including the key regulation molecules,

C1C2 Distraction and Compression Technique for Craniovertebral Junction Anomalies with Basilar Invagination and Irreducible Atlantoaxial Dislocation

The authors describe four cases of basilar invagination (BI) with irreducible atlantoaxial GLUCOSAPET dislocation (AAD) by distraction and compression technique.The article describes the technique in detail and the principles of the reduction achieved in all the planes by C1C2 screw placement, the cage insertion in the C1C2 joint, and manipulation

A Comprehensive Evaluation of Minimally Invasive Achilles Tendon Reconstruction with Hamstring Graft Indicates Satisfactory Long-Term Outcomes

Background and objectives: The Achilles tendon, the largest tendon in the body, is vulnerable to injury because of its limited blood supply and the combination of forces to which it is subjected.Given the relevance of the Achilles tendon in the proper function of the foot and ankle, the primary goal of the present study was to use a holistic approa

Identification of Ser/Thr kinase and forkhead associated domains in Mycobacterium ulcerans: characterization of novel association between protein kinase Q and MupFHA.

Mycobacterium ulcerans, the causative agent of Buruli ulcer in humans, is unique among the members of Mycobacterium genus due to the presence of the virulence determinant megaplasmid pMUM001.This plasmid encodes multiple virulence-associated genes, including mup011, which is an uncharacterized Ser/Thr protein kinase (STPK) PknQ.In this study, we ha
