Reduction of reperfusion injury edema with corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF): a pilot study.

abstract：PURPOSE:Selection of an appropriate model for preclinical assessment of new methods of peripheral nerve injury management is crucial. This report presents anatomic variations within brachial and lumbosacral plexuses in three selected rat strains Sprague Dawley (Hsd:Sprague Dawley SD), Lewis (LEW/SsNHsd), and Athymic Nu...
