Preliminary test of the sensory functional recovery of rats with mental nerve crush injury assessed by von Frey filaments test after recombinant human fibroblast growth factor-2 (rhFGF2) treatment.

(A, B) A comparison of the gap score (A) and difference score (B) shows little sensory functional recovery in rats with mental nerve crush injury after administration of rhFGF2 at low doses (0.1, 0.2 and 0.4 μg/mL). Decreased gap score and increased difference score mean the presence of sensory degeneration. Sham: Sham-operated (normal control); PBS: PBS treatment after mental nerve crush injury; rhFGF0.1, rhFGF0.2 and rhFGF0.4: rhFGF2 treatment (0.1, 0.2, 0.4 μg/mL, respectively) after mental nerve crush injury. There were six rats per group.
