Four patients had Gorlin's (or basal cell nevi) syndrome and pronounced medullated nerve fibers. The medullation is an additional ophthalmic manifestation of Gorlin's syndrome, which is autosomally dominant and noted for its variable expressivity.

The present study investigated the effect of type III Neuregulin-1 (NRG-1) on changes in the myelin sheath and the recovery of nerve function during the regeneration process following autologous nerve transplantation. Seventy-two Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into a Blank, Model and (antisense oligonucleotide, ASON) group. The Model and ASON groups of SD rats were subjected to autologous nerve transplantation, and the Blank group only had the sciatic nerve exposed.

Aim: To investigate the changes in type II neuregulin-1 (NRG-1) during the regeneration process following autologous sciatic nerve transplantation in rats.
Material And Methods: In total, 40 healthy male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats of clean grade with body weights between 250 g and 300 g were randomly divided into an experimental and control group, with 20 rats per group. Five time points were set, including the 3 < sup > rd < /sup > , 7 < sup > th < /sup > , 14 < sup > th < /sup > , 21 < sup > st < /sup > and 28 < sup > th < /sup > days after surgery.

Spinal cord injury is a permanent destructive disease that causes devastating neurologic deficits and disability. Long-term complications are associated with low prognosis, mortality, and decreased quality of life. The functional recovery depends on the regeneration of neurons and the growth of medullated axons.

A thick fibrous membrane encasing the subluxated lens with multiple branch-like fibrovascular channels extending to the zonules was noted. This membrane with its extensions had similar histology as that of the PFV stalk.
