We have noticed an inadvertent error in our paper “Electroacupuncture Treatment Improves Neurological Function Associated with Regulation of Tight Junction Proteins in Rats with Cerebral Ischemia Reperfusion Injury” [1].
There is an error that occurred during uploading Figure 4(a). The published picture of claudin-5 M5 is incorrect. We have attached a corrected version of Figure 4. This error does not change the scientific conclusions of the paper in any way.
Figure 4.
Effects of EA on the distribution and expression of ZO-1, claudin-5, and occludin on ischemic cerebral microvessels. (a) Representative immunohistochemistry stained tissue of the following groups: sham; M1–M7: MCAO groups after 1, 3, 5, and 7 d of reperfusion; and E1–E7: EA groups after 1, 3, 5, and 7 d of reperfusion. The integrated optical density of ZO-1 (b), claudin-5 (c), and occludin (d). Data (n = 6) are represented as mean ± SD. ΔP < 0.05 versus the sham group, ⋆P < 0.05 versus the MCAO group at the same time points, and ∗P < 0.05 versus the EA groups at the same time points. Arrows show the immunoreactive positive area. Scale bar in A = 50 μm (×400).
