    Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare the therapeutic effects of gabapentin (GBP) and different doses of rapamycin (RAPA) in an induced sciatic nerve (SN)-injury rat model. Materials and Methods: The study consisted of 7 groups: Control, Sham, High-dose rapamycin (RAPA-H), Low-dose rapamycin (RAPA-L), GBP, DMSO and DMSO+nerve injury (DMSO+NI). Medical treatment was administered intraperitoneally for 30 days after the induction of SN injury. Results: Significant differences (p<0.001 for all) were found in comparisons between the groups in terms of axon diameter, axon number, and neurofilament (NF) and S100 immunointensity. Among the treatment groups, the highest mean axon diameter value, close to that of the Control group, was seen in the RAPA-L group. In terms of axon number, the value closest to that of the Control group was measured in the GBP group. The NF and S100 immunodensity in the RAPA-L group was similar to that of the GBP group. The S100 immunodensity in the RAPA-L group was closest to that of the Control group. The highest conduction velocity and distal latency values were recorded in the RAPA-L group. Conclusion: The histological and electrophysiological findings observed in this study suggest that RAPA-L treatment is a promising alternative to GBP.

    Aim: Studies on drugs or alternative therapies are still the main treatment options for PNI. In this study, we aimed to research the effects of PBM and OT on nerve repair in a rat sciatic injury model. Material and Methods: 29 Wistar albino rats were divided into four groups: control (n = 2), sham (n = 9), OT (n = 9) and PBM (n = 9). After 30 days of surgery and treatments, tissue specimens and blood samples were taken for histological and biochemical processing. Histological evaluations were performed at light and electron microscopy levels. Myelin basic protein (MBP) and S100 from the rat serum were analysed also. Results: The OT and PBM groups had a significant increase in regeneration of the sciatic nerve in light microscopic evaluation. In the PBM and OT groups, Schwann cells (SC) around the axons and also axons with a thin myelin sheath were seen, regarded as signs of the myelination process in transmission electron microscopy (TEM) examinations. Discussion: OT and PBM both resulted in a good healing pattern for sciatic nerve injury in the rat model. Therefore, OT and PBM are considered to be simple and reliable alternative treatment methods for PNI.
