Effects of XSECC on neural injury in BCCAO rats. Four non-overlapping images (400× magnification) within hippocampal CA1 of each animal were taken for the analysis of HE staining and NeuN immunofluorescence respectively. (a) Representative HE staining of the unilateral hippocampus (Scale bar: 200 μm) and hippocampal CA1 area (Scale bar: 50 μm) from sham, model and XSECC group rats. Red rectangle represented the region of interest located in the CA1 area of hippocampus. The neurons are shrinkaged and dark-stained in the model group rats (red arrows). (b) Immunofluorescence staining of NeuN in the hippocampus CA1 area (Scale bar: 50 μm). (c,d) Analysis of pyramidal cells and NeuN expression in the hippocampal CA1 area respectively. ##P < 0.01 vs. sham group; **P < 0.01 vs. model group (one-way ANOVA followed by LSD’s post hoc test, n = 6 per group).
