Outline of Final Research Achievements

We investigated the effect of a low-intensity pulsed ultrasound therapy on the regeneration of the peripheral nerve in rats. We found that 140 mW/cm2 intensity of the ultrasound enhanced the regeneration most and increased the number of regenerated axons and the thickness of the myelin sheath compared to those of control group. In addition, we suggested that the suppression of the nerve growth inhibitor gene expression would be, in part, attributed to this effects.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究では、実験動物を用いた手法を用いて末梢神経再生にとって適切な超音波刺激強度を明らかにした。さらに末梢神経再生を促進する超音波治療の作用メカニズムを一部解明していることから、超音波を用いた末梢神経再生治療における基盤的な知見を加えるものとして意義深いと考えられる。また、本研究では新たに三次元動作解析手法を用いた運動機能評価システムを確立した。運動機能評価は治療効果判定の重要な指標となることから、今後の研究においても有用と考えらえる。
