Morphometric analyses of the middle sciatic nerve in rats with vein/nerve microtissue hybrid scaffold transplant at 12 weeks post-surgery.

(A) Toluidine blue staining and transmission electron microscope (TEM) images of the regenerated nerves in the middle segment of the nerve. Scale bars: 50 μm (left), 10 μm (middle), and 2 μm (right). (B) The mean density of myelinated nerve fibers (n = 8 randomly selected fields per group). (C) The diameter of myelinated fibers (n = 8 randomly selected fields per group). (D) The thickness of the myelin sheath (n = 8 randomly selected fields per group). Data are expressed as the mean ± SD. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 (one-way analysis of variance followed by Tukey’s post hoc test).
