Table 1.
Item | Aligned scaffold group | Random scaffold group | P-values |
---|---|---|---|
Presence of axons (NF200 staining; animals with ulcer/group number) | |||
In nerve guide | 7/7 | 6/7 | 0.299 |
In distal nerve | 7/7 | 4/7 | 0.035 |
Presence of foot ulcer (animals with ulcer/group number) | 0/7 | 3/7 | 0.096 |
P-values are based on Fisher’s method on 2 × 2 cross tabulation (Fisher’s exact test). NGC: Nerve guide conduit; NF200: neurofilament.
