Schematic representation of the study design. (A) The time point of the first HE treatment was 60 min after MCAO. HE was then injected once daily for 3 consecutive days. After 3 days of MCAO, the mice were sacrificed following completion of the neurological behaviour assessments. The brain tissue was the harvested for subsequent research. (B) In this study, lentiviruses were used to transfect the cortex of the mouse brains. The mice then underwent MCAO 14 days after transfection. Subsequent research was conducted as described in part A.
