Abstract
Electron microscope observation were made of rat peroneal nerve after crushing using intravenously injected horseradish peroxidase (HRP) as a tracer protein to indicate changes in vascular permeability. At 1/2 h and 2 d after the crush there was gross leakage of HRP from damaged capillaries at the site of injury but none from vessels above or below this. Ultrastructurally vessels at the site of crush showed broken and separated endothelial cells. Proximally and distally there was little abnormal in the vessel walls; vesicles containing HRP were absent and tight-junctions between cells remained intact. Twenty-one days after the crush, leakage of HRP was found both at the site of crush and along the distal segment. The only change in vessel walls was an obvious increase in vesicles filled with HRP. Tracer was also found both in perivascular locations and throughout the endoneurial space.Keywords
