  1. * indicates statistic significance (P < 0.05) when compared with intact MCN.
  2. Number of labeled motor and sensory neurons and their relations to the total number of labeled neurons in intact MCN and the MCN stumps after their transfection by plasmid phVEGF, plasmid alone or vehiculum treatment and ETE neurorrhaphy (n = 6 for each group). No statistically significant differences were found among experimental groups.
