Effect of OECs on the number of neurons in the anterior exterior lateral facial nerve motor nucleus of facial nerve defected rats detected by fluorogold labeling.

(A, B) Fluorogold-labeled cells (arrows) in the facial nerve nucleus of the OECs group (A) and injury group (B) (×200). Scale bars: 10 µm. (C) Number of myelinated nerve fibers in the facial nerve nuclei in the OEC-treated rats and untreated rats. Arrows indicate fluorogold-positive cells. Data are expressed as the mean ± SD (n = 16; Student’s t-test). **P < 0.01, vs. injury group. OECs: Olfactory ensheathing cells.
