It has been reported that transected spinal cord shows signs of axonal regeneration after peripheral nerve (PN) graft. We studied the membrane excitability and ion distribution in axons from transected rat spinal cord 3 weeks after PN graft using the spinal cord evoked potential, electron probe X-ray microanalysis, and the patch-clamp technique. Axonal structures were also observed using conventional electron microscopy. At the Th11 level, laminectomy was performed (=control) and the left thoracic segments of the spinal cord 2 mm in length were excised (=nongrafted group). PN sections from 8-week-old male Wistar rats were grafted into the spinal cord gap (=PN-grafted group). The spinal cord evoked potential in the PN-grafted group partly recovered in contrast to that in the nongrafted group, which showed no recovery. Higher Na, Cl, and Ca peaks and lower K peaks in the PN-grafted group were demonstrated compared with those in the nongrafted group. In the PN-grafted group, a higher current signal appeared in the axonal membrane of the spinal cord, suggesting a greater membrane activity compared with that in the nongrafted group. Unlike the nongrafted group, in which no myelinated axons were found, demyelinated axons that were myelinated by Schwann cells from the grafted peripheral nerve were observed in the PN-grafted group. These findings suggested that Schwann cells from the transplanted PN contributed to the repair of the transected spinal cord.

D005071 Evoked Potentials Electrical responses recorded from nerve, muscle, SENSORY RECEPTOR, or area of the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM following stimulation. They range from less than a microvolt to several microvolts. The evoked potential can be auditory (EVOKED POTENTIALS, AUDITORY), somatosensory (EVOKED POTENTIALS, SOMATOSENSORY), visual (EVOKED POTENTIALS, VISUAL), or motor (EVOKED POTENTIALS, MOTOR), or other modalities that have been reported.
