Microsurgical reconstructive-restorative operations were conducted on the peripheral nerves of the limbs in 381 patients at the Kazakh centre of microsurgery from 1983. The patients were divided into 3 groups: group 1-60 patients who underwent emergency neurography during replantation of limbs and their segments; group 2-186 patients in whom neurovascular bundles of the limbs were restored (320 nerves were restored) in the late period after the trauma; group 3-135 patients who were subjected to operative interventions on the brachial plexus and the adjacent vessels. In sequelae of injury to the neurovascular bundles of the limbs and the trunks of the brachial plexus one-stage operations must be carried out on the peripheral nerves and the accompanying vessels. The result of the operation is determined by the lapse of time from the moment of the injury, the type of reconstruction, and the length of the graft used.

A significant portion of adolescents suffer from mental illnesses and persistent pain due to repeated stress. The components of the nervous system that link stress and pain in early life remain unclear. Prior studies in adult mice implicated the innate immune system, specifically Toll-like receptors (TLRs), as critical for inducing long-term anxiety and pain-like behaviors in social defeat stress (SDS) models.

Peripheral nerve tissue engineering is a field that uses cells, growth factors and biological scaffold material to provide a nutritional and physical support in the repair of nerve injuries. The specific properties of injectable human amniotic membrane-derived hydrogel including growth factors as well as anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective agents make it an ideal tool for nerve tissue repair, and metformin may also aid in nerve regeneration. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of hydrogel derived from amniotic membrane (AM) along with metformin (MET) administration in the repair of sciatic nerve injury in male rats.

Schwannomas are rare benign neoplasms originating from Schwann cells of peripheral nerve sheaths. The current study presents a distinctive case involving multiple schwannomas along the peripheral nerves of the left upper extremity. The patient exhibited multiple gradually enlarging subcutaneous masses distributed along the nerves of the left upper limb, without pain, neurological deficits or a positive Tinel's sign upon physical examination.

Spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs) are crucial for transmitting auditory signals from the inner ear to the brainstem, playing a pivotal role in the peripheral hearing process. However, SGNs are usually damaged by a variety of insults, which causes permanent hearing loss. Generating SGNs from stem cells represents a promising strategy for advancing cell-replacement therapies to treat sensorineural hearing loss.

The gold standard therapy for peripheral nerve injuries involves surgical repair, which is invasive and leads to major variations in therapeutic outcomes. Because of this, smaller injuries often go untreated. However, alternative, noninvasive routes of administration are currently unviable due to the presence of the blood-nerve barrier (BNB), which prevents passage of small molecules from the blood into the endoneurium and the nerve.
