Abstract: Objective To observe how magnetic field interference effect on nerve scar formation after nerve injury in rats. Methods 80 SD rats were implemented left sciatic nerve entrapment surgery, with nerve damaged. After surgery, the rats were randomly divided into four groups: 1 control group and 3 experimental groups. Experimental groups were respectively given 0.2 mT’s, 0.6 mT’s, and 1.5 mT’s intensity magnetic therapy, 60 min/d. Sciatic nerve function index measurement (SFI) was tested in 21 days. After drawn, the samples were applied, type collagen fibers immunohistochemical staining, transmission electron microscope and experimental data statistics processing were performed. Results Compared with the control group, the experimental group was closer to normal in nerve function index, with less, type collagen fibers hyperplasia in Nerve lesions, thicker myelin sheath and line rules walking.Conclusion Magnetic field interference can significantly inhibit scar formation, promote nerve regeneration and functional recovery.
