Electron microscopy analysis of sciatic nerves in the novel CNC model.

Electron micrographs of sciatic nerves at the compression site at 8, 12 and 20 weeks post-operation. (A–C) Sham-operated nerves, and (D–F) compressed nerves at 8, 12, and 20 weeks post-operation in the NBCA-treated pup group (n = 15). (G–I) Sham-operated nerves, and (J–L) compressed nerves at 8, 12, and 20 weeks post-operation in the NBCA-treated adult group (n = 15). Scale bars: 1 μm. (M, N) Quantification of the thickness of myelin sheaths in the NBCA-treated pup (M) and adult (N) groups. All data are represented as the mean ± SD (repeated measures one-way analysis of variance followed by Dunnett's post hoc test). ***P < 0.001. NBCA: N-butyl-cyanoacrylate; CNC: chronic nerve compression.
