Superficial venous systemThe dorsum of the hand displays the dorsal venous network which drain into the cephalic and basilic veins on the lateral and medial side, respectively.The cephalic vein ascends on the lateral side of the forearm and arm and it passes through the deltopectoral groove in the shoulder before emptying into the axillary vein.The basilic vein runs posteromedially to pass anterior to the medial epicondyle of the humerus. In the arm, it pierces the brachial fascia and joins the paired deep brachial veins to form the axillary vein.The median cubital vein connects the cephalic and basilic veins anterior to the cubital fossa.

Nerve grafts means that regenerating axons have to cross two sets of anastomoses; they can be harvested from The sural nerve (35–40 cm) found posterior to the medial malleolus – numbness to the lateral aspect of the foot dorsum.The lateral cutaneous nerve of the forearm (8 cm) next to the cephalic vein.The medial cutaneous nerve of the forearm (20 cm) next to the basilic vein.The PIN – short segment at the end of the nerve.

It begins as a continuation of the lateral end of the dorsal venous arch. It travels across the lateral aspect of the forearm to reach the anterior aspect of the cubital fossa, where it gives rise to the median cubital vein. It then ascends on the lateral aspect of the biceps muscle. The cephalic vein stays superficial to the fascia until it pierces the clavi-pectoral fascia at the level of the delto-pectoral groove. Here it joins the axillary vein. Of note, the cephalic vein is smaller than the basilic vein and may be tortuous as it as ascends the upper arm. Due to the small diameter and potentially tortuous path, the risk of insertion-related phlebitis and thrombosis is increased with this approach; therefore, this vein is not the first choice for midline or PICC line placement.

The Cephalic vein is part of the upper extremity’s superficial venous system. It originates in the anatomical snuffbox from the radial aspect of the superficial venous network of the dorsum of the hand. Coursing along the anterolateral forearm to the elbow, it communicates with the basilic veins via median ante-cubital veins. It then courses along the lateral aspect of the biceps toward the pectoralis major muscle as it enters the deltopectoral groove (a triangular space formed by the adjacent borders of the deltoid and pectoralis major muscles Figure 2). It then passes under the clavicle, turning sharply to pierce the clavipectoral fascia terminating as the axillary vein. The cephalic arch refers to the final arch of the cephalic vein before it drains into the first part of the axillary vein.

The experiment group was divided into control group (G1), AB204 0.08 mg/kg/day (G2), AB204 0.16 mg/kg/day (G3), and AB204 0.32 mg/kg/day (G4), with a total of 16 male and 16 female beagle dogs assigned (Table 1). The injection site was the radial cephalic vein. The site was epilated on the day before administration for each animal and sterilized using alcohol. Control or AB204 was injected intravenously for 1 minute at a rate of 0.5 ml/kg/day based on the weight of body measured on the first injection day. It was administered repetitively before 1 pm daily for four weeks. After two weeks of recovery, two animals were sacrificed from G1 or G4 group (recovery group). The remaining animals were evaluated after four weeks of injection.

The animals fasted for 18 hr prior to surgery. Intramuscular xilacyne (1 mg/kg) with atropine (0.044 mg/kg) and midazolam (0.5 mg/kg) was used as an anesthetic induction 10 min before anesthesia. The cephalic vein was catheterized for intravenous access, and physiological saline solution (10 mL/kg per hour) was started.
