The success of nerve repair treatment can be measured by examining the factors (Wallerian degeneration) that prevent functional recovery, and determining the extent of regeneration of proximal axon sprouts in the endoneurial environment of the distal fascicles. In the present study, the neurosurgical alignment of fascicles was attempted by laser as well as suture microsurgery of transected rat sciatic nerve and the relative efficacy of the two procedures was evaluated after 6 and 12 weeks by Neurophysiological Study, Morphological Study with light microscopy, ultrastructure, and the permeability of blood-nerve barrier using horseradish peroxidase (HRP) tracer technique, and Morphometry of the nerve fibers.

Microtubules (MT) are versatile organelles participating in a wide variety of biological activity. MT involvement in the movement and transport of cytoplasmic components has been well documented. In the course of our study on trauma-induced vasogenic edema in the spinal cord we have concluded that endothelial vesicles contribute to the edema process. Using horseradish peroxidase as a vascular tracer, labeled endothelial vesicles were present in all situations expected if a vesicular transport mechanism was in operation. Frequently,labeled vesicles coalesced to form channels that appeared to traverse the endothelium. The presence of MT in close proximity to labeled vesicles sugg ested that MT may play a role in vesicular activity.

The coleorhiza is a nonvascular sheath that encloses the embryonic radicle in Poaceae, and is generally the first tissue to emerge during germination. Delicate hairlike extensions develop from some coleorhiza cells prior to radicle emergence. Similar to root hairs, coleorhiza hairs are extremely sensitive to desiccation and are damaged by exposure to negative water potentials. The coleorhiza of Lolium perenne is somewhat spherical when first visible, after which a knob forms at a right angle to the caryopsis due to inner pressure from the elongating radicle. This knob increases in length until the radicle finally punctures the coleorhiza. Standard fixation procedures cause severe desiccation of coleorhiza cells and hairs, making morphological study of the coleorhiza difficult. This study was conducted to determine a more successful process for coleorhiza preservation.
