Figure 3From: Storage and allogeneic transplantation of peripheral nerve using a green tea polyphenol solution in a canine model Morphological study. Light microscopic examination of transverse sections of the left ulnar nerve 1.5 cm distal to the distal neurorrhaphy of the nerve isograft (A, a) and allografts (B-D and b-d) 12 weeks after transplantation. (A-D) 100× magnification and a-d; 400× magnification. (A, a) Nerve isograft in the PL0.1 group; (B, b) nerve allografts in the PL0.1 group; (C, c) nerve allografts in the PL0.05 group; (D, d) nerve allografts in the PL0.025 group. (D, d) A very few myelinated axons were seen in the PL0.025 group.Back to article page
