Abstract

The modification of chitosan nerve guide to assess nerve function after reconstruction was discussed. Chitosan and M-CHI solution with concentration of 2 wt% and 4 wt% were respectively prepared by dissolution in 0.2 M acetic acid. Female SD rats were anesthetized with 10% chloral hydrate and after 2, 4, 8, 12, 16 weeks of implantation, walking track analysis was carried out to evaluate motor nerve recovery. It was found that all the rats had a regenerated cable inside the conduits, which had bridged a 10mm gap between the nerve stumps.
