Berberine enhances L1 expression and axonal remyelination in rats after brachial plexus root avulsion
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Brain and Behavior"
DOI: 10.1002/brb3.1792
Abstract: Enhanced remyelination of the regenerated axons results in functional re‐innervation and improved functional motor recovery after brachial plexus root avulsion (BPRA). The neural cell adhesion molecule L1 (L1CAM, L1) regulates myelination and promotes regeneration after… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/brb3.2464
Abstract: Brachial plexus avulsion significantly increased brain‐derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) release in the spinal cord. Here we investigated the involvement of the BDNF–TrkB–KCC2 pathway in neuropathic pain caused by BPA injury. We hypothesized that activation of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/micr.30120
Abstract: With complete plexus injuries or late presentation, free functional muscle transfer (FFMT) becomes the primary option of functional restoration. Our purpose is to review cases over a 10‐year period of free functioning gracilis muscle transfer… read more here.

Reconstruction of a C7–T1 brachial plexus lower root injury by transferring multiple nerves and a free gracilis muscle: Case report
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Microsurgery"
DOI: 10.1002/micr.30577
Abstract: Lower‐type brachial plexus injuries (BPI) are uncommon, and traditional reconstruction with tendon transfer procedures generally produce mediocre results. However, the advent of nerve transfers has rejuvenated the reconstructive options for peripheral nerve and spinal cord… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/micr.30871
Abstract: Neonatal brachial plexus palsy (NBPP) is a serious complication of high‐risk deliveries with controversy surrounding timing of corrective nerve surgery. This review systematically examines the existing literature and investigates correlations between age at time of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/micr.30879
Abstract: Attaining active glenohumeral external rotation (aGHER), whether via primary reconstruction or spontaneous recovery, is infrequent in patients with neonatal brachial plexus palsy (NBPI). We evaluated the effectiveness of triceps‐to‐teres minor motor branch transfers to restore… read more here.
