Abstract
INTRODUCTION/AIMS Daily intramuscular injections of fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2) but not of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) significantly improve whisking behavior and mono-innervation of the rat levator labii superioris (LLS) muscle 56 days after buccal nerve transection and suture (buccal-buccal anastomosis, BBA). We explored the dose-response of BDNF, FGF2, and insulin growth factor 2 (IGF2) on the same parameters, asking whether higher doses of BDNF would promote recovery. METHODS After BBA, growth factors were injected (30 μL volume) daily into the LLS muscle over 14, 28, or 56 days. At 56 days, video-based motion analysis of vibrissal whisking was performed and the extent of mono- and poly-reinnervation of the reinnervated neuromuscular junctions (NMJs) of the muscle determined with immunostaining of the nerve with β-tubulin and histochemical staining of the endplates with Alexa Fluor 488-conjugated α-bungarotoxin. RESULTS The dose-response curve demonstrated significantly higher whisking amplitudes and corresponding increased mono-innervation of the NMJ in the reinnervated LLS muscle at concentrations of 20-30 μg/mL BDNF administered daily for 14-28 days after BBA surgery. In contrast, high doses of IGF2 and FGF2, or doses of 20 and 40 μg/mL of BDNF administered for 14-56 days had no effect on either whisking behavior or in reducing poly-reinnervation of endplates in the muscle. DISCUSSION These data suggest that the re-establishment of mono-innervation of whiskerpad muscles and the improved motor function by injections of BDNF into the paralyzed vibrissal musculature after facial nerve injury have translation potential and promote clinical application.

Abstract
The relationships between various parameters of tissue damage and subsequent functional recovery after spinal cord injury (SCI) are not well understood. Patients may regain micturition control and walking despite large postinjury medullar cavities. The objective of this study was to establish possible correlations between morphological findings and degree of functional recovery after spinal cord compression at vertebra Th8 in rats. Recovery of motor (Basso, Beattie, Bresnahan, foot-stepping angle, rump-height index, and ladder climbing), sensory (withdrawal latency), and bladder functions was analyzed at 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 weeks post-SCI. Following perfusion fixation, spinal cord tissue encompassing the injury site was cut in longitudinal frontal sections. Lesion lengths, lesion volumes, and areas of perilesional neural tissue bridges were determined after staining with cresyl violet. The numbers of axons in these bridges were quantified after staining for class III β-tubulin. We found that it was not the area of the spared tissue bridges, which is routinely determined by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), but the numbers of axons in them that correlated with functional recovery after SCI (Spearman's ρ > 0.8; p < 0.001). We conclude that prognostic statements based only on MRI measurements should be considered with caution.

Abstract
Efforts on bioengineering are directed towards the construction of biocompatible scaffolds and the determination of the most favorable microenvironment, which will better support cell proliferation and differentiation. Perfusion bioreactors are attracting growing attention as an effective, modern tool in tissue engineering. A natural biomaterial extensively used in regenerative medicine with outstanding biocompatibility, biodegradability and non-toxic characteristics, is collagen, a structural protein with undisputed beneficial characteristics. This is a study designed according to the above considerations. 3D printed polycaprolactone (PCL) scaffolds with rectangular pores were coated with collagen either as a coating on the scaffold's trabeculae, or as a gel-cell solution penetrating scaffolds' pores. We employed histological, molecular and imaging techniques to analyze colonization, proliferation and chondrogenic differentiation of Adipose Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells (ADMSCs). Two different differentiation culture media were employed to test chondrogenic differentiation on gelated and non gelated PCL scaffolds in static and in perfusion bioreactors dynamic culture conditions. In dynamic culture, non gelated scaffolds combined with our in house TGF-β2 based medium, augmented chondrogenic differentiation performance, which overall was significantly less favorable compared to StemPro™ propriety medium. The beneficial mechanical stimulus of dynamic culture, appears to outgrow the disadvantage of the "weaker" TGF-β2 medium used for chondrogenic differentiation. Even though cells in static culture grew well on the scaffold, there was limited penetration inside the construct, so the purpose of the 3D culture was not fully served. In contrast dynamic culture achieved better penetration and uniform distribution of the cells within the scaffold.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The "post-paralytic syndrome" after facial nerve reconstruction has been attributed to (i) malfunctioning axonal guidance at the fascicular (branches) level, (ii) collateral branching of the transected axons at the lesion site, and (iii) intensive intramuscular terminal sprouting of regenerating axons which causes poly-innervation of the neuromuscular junctions (NMJ). OBJECTIVE The first two reasons were approached by an innovative technique which should provide the re-growing axons optimal conditions to elongate and selectively re-innervate their original muscle groups. METHODS The transected facial nerve trunk was inserted into a 3-way-conduit (from isogeneic rat abdominal aorta) which should "guide" the re-growing facial axons to the three main branches of the facial nerve (zygomatic, buccal and marginal mandibular). The effect of this method was tested also on hypoglossal axons after hypoglossal-facial anastomosis (HFA). Coaptational (classic) FFA (facial-facial anastomosis) and HFA served as controls. RESULTS When compared to their coaptation (classic) alternatives, both types of 3-way-conduit operations (FFA and HFA) promoted a trend for reduction in the collateral axonal branching (the proportion of double- or triple-labelled perikarya after retrograde tracing was slightly reduced). In contrast, poly-innervation of NMJ in the levator labii superioris muscle was increased and vibrissal (whisking) function was worsened. CONCLUSIONS The use of 3-way-conduit provides no advantages to classic coaptation. Should the latter be impossible (too large interstump defects requiring too long interpositional nerve grafts), this type of reconstruction may be applied. (230 words).

Abstract
Severe spinal cord injuries cause permanent neurological deficits and are still considered as inaccessible to efficient therapy. Injured spinal cord axons are unable to spontaneously regenerate. Re-establishing functional activity especially in the lower limbs by reinnervation of the caudal infra-lesional territories might represent an effective therapeutic strategy. Numerous surgical neurotizations have been developed to bridge the spinal cord lesion site and connect the intact supra-lesional portions of the spinal cord to peripheral nerves (spinal nerves, intercostal nerves) and muscles. The major disadvantage of these techniques is the increased hypersensitivity, spasticity and pathologic pain in the spinal cord injured patients, which occur due to the vigorous sprouting of injured afferent sensory fibers after reconstructive surgery. Using micro-surgical instruments and an operation microscope we performed detailed anatomical preparation of the vertebral canal and its content in five human cadavers. Our observations allow us to put forward the possibility to develop a more precise surgical approach, the so called "ventral root bypass" that avoids lesion of the dorsal roots and eliminates sensitivity complications. The proposed kind of neurotization has been neither used, nor put forward. The general opinion is that radix ventralis and radix dorsalis unite to form the spinal nerve inside the dural sac. This assumption is not accurate, because both radices leave the dural sac separately. This neglected anatomical feature allows a reliable intravertebral exposure of the dura-mater ensheathed ventral roots and their damage-preventing end-to-side neurorrhaphy by interpositional nerve grafts.

Abstract
SCI is followed by dramatic upregulation of chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans (CSPGs) which limit axonal regeneration, oligodendrocyte replacement and remyelination. The recent discovery of the specific CSPGs signaling receptor protein tyrosine phosphatase sigma (RPTPσ) provided an opportunity to refine the therapeutic approach to overcome CSPGs inhibitory actions. In previously published work, subcutaneous (s.c.) delivery of 44 μg/day of a peptide mimetic of PTPσ called intracellular sigma peptide (ISP), which binds to PTPσ and blocks CSPG-mediated inhibition, facilitated recovery after contusive SCI. Since this result could be of great interest for clinical trials, we independently repeated this study, but modified the method of injury as well as peptide application and the dosage. Following SCI at the Th10-segment, 40 rats were distributed in 3 groups. Animals in group 1 (20 rats) were subjected to SCI, but received no treatment. Rats in group 2 were treated with intraperitoneal (i.p.) injections of 44 μg/day ISP (SCI + ISP44) and animals of group 3 with s.c. injections of 500 μg/day ISP (SCI + ISP500) for 7 weeks after lesioning. Recovery was analyzed at 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 weeks after SCI by determining (i) BBB-score, (ii) foot-stepping angle, (iii) rump-height index, (iv) number of correct ladder steps, (v) bladder score and (vi) sensitivity (withdrawal latency after thermal stimulus). Finally, we determined the amount of serotonergic fibers in the preserved neural tissue bridges (PNTB) around the lesion site. Our results show that, systemic therapy with ISP improved locomotor, sensory and vegetative recovery which correlated with more spared serotonergic fibers in PNTB.
