Results of behavioral testing of rats in control, PELA, ropivacaine and Rop-PELA groups.
Notes: (A) MWT (g); (B) TWL (seconds). Mechanical allodynia and thermal hyperalgesia were induced by hind paw incision. Data were expressed as mean ± SD, n=5 in each group. *P<0.05 compared with the control group. #P<0.05 compared with the ropivacaine group.
Abbreviations: Con, control; Rop, ropivacaine; PELA, polyethylene glycol-co-polylactic acid; MWT, mechanical withdrawal threshold; h, hour; d, day; TWL, thermal withdrawal latency; s, second.
