The combined action of miR‐140‐5p and DEX as well as silencing of Wnt1 reduces cerebral infarction volume by TTC staining. Note: A, TTC staining of brain tissue of rats; B, cerebral infarction volume of rat brain tissues; C, area of cerebral infarction of rat brain tissues; *, P < .05, compared with the sham group; #, P < .05, compared with the model group; &, P < .05, compared with the DEX group; three surviving rats were randomly selected from the sham and model groups, respectively, and ten surviving rats were selected from other groups, respectively; the experiment was repeated three times; miR‐140‐5p, microRNA‐140‐5p; DEX, dexmedetomidine; NC, negative control; TTC, 2,3,5‐triphenyltetrazolium chloride
