| Research Abstract |
In the basic experiment using nine-week-old wistar male rat, when the main trunk of the facial nerve was cut and anastomosed by epineural suture, the nerve regeneration already started from the sutured edge at four week past from the operation, and the nerve could reached to the mimetic muscles. Furthermore, when it was attached bFGF-impregnated MedGel on the point of epineural suture, the speed of nerve regeneration was faster than former group. And finally it also improve the movement of the mimetic muscles. This will enable us to expect a good role and capacity of the control released bFGF in the treatment of facial palsy after neurotmesis.
