Nerve injuries are a common pathology in hand trauma. The consequences are drastic both for patients and doctors/medical system. In many cases direct coaptation is impossible. A nerve graft should be used in the case of a neuroma, trauma or tumor, for restoration of nervous influx. The aim of this study is demonstrate that by grafting restant nerve stumps with muscle-in-vein nerve grafts we obtain good result in terms of functional and sensibility recovery and also our method �window-vein� is a good way of prolonging nerve grafts. The method of study is experimental. We worked in the laboratory in optimal conditions for carrying out of muscles-in-vein nerve grafts (nerve grafts size 1.5 cm-3 cm). We used acellular muscle grafts with the chemical extraction method.The study was conducted on experimental animals (Wistar male rats).We used 30 experience animals in 3 equal groups (classical group and muscle-in-vein nerve grafts-2 nerve grafts of 1,5 cm central sutured and the third group with muscle-in-vein nerve grafts, window-vein method, 3 cm). At 4 and respectively 6 weeks postoperative at the quality tests we observed the progress with the footprint test. The operated hind in comparison with the healthy hind was 86% recovered and similar with classic nerve grafts. Quantitatively the number of regenerated axons in the group with muscle-in-vein nerve grafts was significant bigger in comparison with the classical group (15%).The method using muscle-in-vein nerve graft with windows-vein it�s a good alternative for nerve grafting in comparison with classical nerve grafting. When the local possibilities are limited, this method is good for prolonging the grafts. The relationship between cost and benefit in this case it�s an advantage because we use the local resources of the affected area. The motor results of nerve grafting ingroup 2 in comparison with group 3 were similar and in some cases better in group 1. Grafting with MVNG offers a better alternative for donor site regeneration in comparison with classical nerve grafts. This method is useful to prolong nerve grafts without adding morbidity.

Chemical extraction methods are used to investigate metal and phosphate speciation during anaerobic digestion of phosphorus-rich sludge. Tests were performed using model compounds to evaluate the efficacy of the reagents in the extraction sequences and these results compared with similar work by other researchers. The metal speciation method was found to be suitable for identifying shifts in metal distribution but was unrepresentative of actual metal species. The phosphate speciation method did give adequate separation of the phosphate compounds tested. Full-scale digesters treating chemical and biological phosphate removal (CPR and BPR) sludge were analysed according to the methods developed. Results show that digestion of CPR sludge did not increase the soluble P concentration in the digester and that most of the precipitated phosphorus appeared to be retained in the sludge as inorganic P. The digester treating BPR sludge showed increased soluble and water-extractable P, in comparison to the control digester. Trace metal speciation profiles were found to be affected by addition of CPR sludge.
