Histomorphometric analysis of femoral nerves regenerated in E10-0.5(1K) and NP-PE conduits. (A–C) Representative cross-sectional images (40×, Scale bar: 50 μm) of nerve sections stained with toluidine blue from the midpoint of regenerated femoral nerve after tubulization with either (A) nonporous PE conduits (NP-PE), (B) porous E10-0.5(1K) conduits [P-E10-0.5(1K)], or (C) nonporous E10-0.5(1K) conduits [NP-E10-0.5(1K)]. (D) Axon count of myelinated axons in the regeneration cable in the mid-conduit nerve section for each conduit type. (E) Raw tissue area. (F) Cross-sectional area of regenerated nerve fibers. (G)% myelinated nerve fibers in regenerating nerve cable. *Significant difference between group mean values from NP-PE (p<0.05, one-way analysis of variance with Tukey's post hoc test).
