a-b Effects of pretreatment with i.t injection of PDTC (once daily from 1d before surgery until 10d after surgery) on the mechanical hyperalgesia induced by SMIR model (**P < 0.01,***P < 0.001,n = 6). c-d Western blotting result of nucleoprotein p-p65 from ipsilateral L4-L6 DRGs of SMIR surgery rats. Statistical summaries of western blot analysis: The expression of p-p65 protein was increased at 10d (n = 4) and 15d (n = 5) after SMIR surgery compared with incision groups, whereas pretreatment with PDTC (once daily from 1d before surgery until 7d after surgery) can prevent the activation of NF-κB at 10d (n = 4) and 15d (n = 5) compared with SMIR group (*P < 0.05 vs incision group; #P < 0.05 vs SMIR group)
