Figure 2

Histopathological changes in the spinal cord of rats with cerclage-induced spinal cord injury, with or without spinal decompression at 8 or 72 hours after injury (hematoxylin-eosin staining, × 400).

Bleeding, edema and neuronal death are apparent in the model group on day 1. Decompression noticeably reversed these pathological characteristics, which also reduced with time.
