Effect of vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) on anti-inflammatory cytokine interleukin (IL)-10 levels in serum and brain tissues of rabbits with explosive injury.

(A) Serum IL-10; (B) brain tissue IL-10. IL-10 levels in serum and brain tissues were significantly higher in the explosive injury group (n = 9) than that in the blank control (n = 4) and sham surgery (n = 6) groups, but significantly lower than that in the vagus nerve stimulation group (n = 8). *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, vs. blank control group and sham surgery group; ##P < 0.01, vs. explosive injury group. Data are expressed as the mean ± SD in all rabbits for each group (one-way analysis of variance and the least significant difference test).
