The present study investigated the effects of safranal on sciatic nerve function after induction of crush injury. We also used of vitamin E as a reference potent antioxidant agent. In anesthetized rats, right sciatic nerve was crushed using a small haemostatic forceps. Functional recovery was assessed using sciatic functional index (SFI). Acetone spray and von Frey filament tests were used for neuropathic pain assay. Histopathological changes including severities of Wallerian degeneration of sciatic nerve and gastrocnemius muscle atrophy were investigated by light microscopy. Blood levels of malodialdehyde (MDA) were also measured. The SFI values were accelerated, cold and mechanical allodynia were suppressed, the severities of Wallerian degeneration and muscular atrophy were improved, and the increased MDA level was reversed with 10 consecutive days intraperitoneal injections of 0.2 and 0.8mg/kg of safranal and 100mg/kg of vitamin E. It is concluded that safranal and vitamin E produced same improving effects on crushed-injured sciatic nerve functions. Inhibition of oxidative stress pathway may be involved in improving effects of safranal and vitamin E on functions and histopathology of an injured peripheral nerve.

新しく開発された経鼻内視鏡用のディスポーザブル生検鉗子ジェイスルーは，スコープが最大up-angleの状態でも比較的容易に彎曲部を追加し，また，鉗子抜去時に鉗子が彎曲部を通過する時の抵抗値が少なかった．本生検鉗子はカップ先端から25mmまで，特にカップとワイヤの接続部の柔軟性が高いという特徴を有しており，この構造が良好な鉗子の通過性を実現させた理由と考えられた．また，本生検鉗子によって採取可能な組 …
