Effects of point application with Angong Niuhuang sticker on neuronal changes in the hippocampal CA1 region and cortex of chronic cerebral ischemia model rats at 4 weeks after modeling (Nissl staining, light microscope, × 400).

(A) Normal group; (B) model group; (C) acupuncture group; (D–F) low-, medium-, high-dose Angong Niuhuang sticker point application groups. In the medium-, high-dose Angong Niuhuang sticker point application groups and acupuncture group, neuronal injury in the hippocampal CA1 area of rats was attenuated, and Nissl bodies were restored. Arrows indicate Nissl bodies.
