Comparison of caspase-9 protein expression in the groups compressed for 12 and 48 hours (western blot assay).

The caspase-9 expression was lower in the 12-hour and the 48-hour EA groups than in the 12-hour MP and SCI groups, and the 48-hour MP and SCI groups. The caspase-9 expression was lower in the 12-hour and the 48-hour MP groups than in the 12-hour and the 48-hour SCI groups. All data are expressed as the mean ± SD (n = 6 per group). *P < 0.05, vs. sham group; #P < 0.05, vs. EA group; †P < 0.05, vs. MP group (one-way analysis of variance followed by the least significant difference post hoc test). EA: Electroacupuncture; MP: methylprednisolone; SCI: spinal cord injury.
