title: [Regeneration of the sciatic nerve in the rat modified by neurotrophic factors].
abstract: In the present study an experimental rat model is presented enabling analysis of nerve regeneration in vivo through preformed tissue holes. The tissue space allows to bridge a gap about 10 mm. The neovascularization could follow the physiological course using the way through the epi- and perineurium in the chamber. The regeneration rate was investigated with and without application of a mixture of gangliosides showing a significant difference between both groups. Gangliosides stimulated the axonal outgrowth and the restoration of well-vascularized nerve fascicles. Further investigations should examine the effects of different neurotrophic substances in the tube.
