Sciatic nerve after removal of the bundles at 8 weeks post-operation in the novel chronic nerve compression model.

(A) Sciatic nerve in the sham-operated side. (B) Sciatic nerve in the NBCA-treated pup group. (C) Sciatic nerve in the NBCA-treated adult group. (D) Sciatic nerve in the latex pieces pup control group (CON1). (E) Sciatic nerve in the NBCA pup control group (CON2). The arrows indicate swelling of the sciatic nerve. (F) Quantitative results of the average diameter on the mid-point of nerves at the compression site in each group. All data are represented as the mean ± SD (repeated measures one-way analysis of variance followed by Dunnett's post hoc test). *P < 0.05. Sham: Sham-operated side; operated: experimental side. NBCA: N-butyl-cyanoacrylate; CNC: chronic nerve compression.
