a Schematic diagram of experimental design. PN were intraperitoneally injected within 10 min after weight drop at the T10 level, and then continuously injected daily until 7 days after injury. b Basso, Beattie, and Bresnahan (BBB) limb function scores at different times after spinal cord contusion. c Representative footprints of an animal walking 14 days after SCI. Blue: forepaw print; red: hindpaw print. d Quantitative analysis of the footprint (c) in the two groups. e Gross morphology of spinal sections on day 14 postinjury. The boundary of the traumatic lesion area is indicated by the dashed lines. f Representative Nissl-stained sagittal section of spinal cord on day 14 postinjury. Scale bar, 1000 μm. g Quantitative analysis of lesion volume (f) in the two groups. All data are presented as means ± SEM (n = 5 mice per group). *P < 0.05.
