Abstract:

Objective  To observe the morphology of nerve fibers during reinnervation after burn. Methods  Neurofilaments of wound tissue after 1,2,3,4 weeks were determined by fluorescent immunohistochemistry. The morphology of nerves was evaluated under a fluorescent microscope and laser scanning confocal microscope(LSCM). Results  Numbers of nerve fibers within 3 weeks were less than that of normal, while these post 3 weeks were increasing. Nerve fibers got gradually longer  and were arranged parallel or like a staggeredmesh with more branches and sprouting. Uneven thickness with some swelling, distortion and local fracture were found 3 weeks after burns. Conclusion  The three dimension structure of nerve fibers can  be obtained  with a LSCM and remodeling was found during the reinnervation after burns.
