FIG. 2.
MNCs reduce perihematomal edema caused by ICH. (A) Representative pictures showed the hematomal position at 24 h and 28 days after autologous blood injection (from preliminary data). (B) Bar graphs illustrate the brain water content in the hemorrhagic (ipsilateral) and contralateral hemispheres at 3 days after ICH in the sham-, saline-, and MNC-treated ICH groups. Data are the mean ± SD. *P < 0.05 compared with the sham-ICH-operated group. †P < 0.05 compared with saline-treated group after ICH. n = 6 per group. (C) Bar graphs illustrate that MNC treatment reduced brain atrophy at day 28 after ICH, compared with the saline-treated group. Data are the mean ± SD. †P < 0.05 compared with the saline-treated group. n = 7 per group.
