Intactness of sciatic nerve fibers after the pressure application. (A) longitudinal section of sciatic nerve at the compressed site (original magnification, ×400). (B) Cross section of sciatic nerve at the compressed site (original magnification, ×1000). ‘Control’: the sciatic nerve after sham treatment; ‘2-min’: the sciatic nerve after 2 min of pressure at the site; and ’20-min’: the sciatic nerve after 20 min of pressure at the site.
