Prolonging survival in vascularized bone allograft transplantation: developing specific immune unresponsiveness.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Clinical diagnosis of sensory disturbances is extremely challenging, partly because the utility of sensory tests is questionable. Transection of C7 nerve root provides an objective assessment model to determine the diagnostic accuracy of sensory tests. The purpose of this study was to investigate the diagnos...
