Figure 8.

The fractional anisotropy (FA) value and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) (10⁻³ mm²/s) at the lesion segment after contusive spinal cord injury. Data of rats (n=6) for each group at each time point are represented as mean ±SD. (A) FA values increased gradually after SCI and there were significant differences between the 2 groups after OECs transplantation (two-way ANOVA, P<0.05). (B) ADC values gradually decreased after SCI and there were significant differences between the 2 groups after OECs transplantation (two-way ANOVA, P<0.05). Student’s unpaired t-test was performed to compare 2 groups at each time point. * P<0.05 OECs group vs. time-matched control group.
