Effects of Tanshinone IIA on pathology and apoptosis after MCAO in rat brains. Tanshinone IIA or control saline was injected into the tail vein at the indicated time after MCAO. After reperfusion, the rat brains were harvested. (A) Pathological changes of rat cortex tissues were detected by HE staining and Nissl staining, apoptotic cells in rat cortex were detected by TUNEL staining (Scale bar: 100 μm). (B) The apoptotic cells of different groups were calculated and shown. ###p < 0.001, compared with the Sham group, **p < 0.01, compared with the MCAO group. Sham, sham operation group; MCAO, middle cerebral artery occlusion; TanIIA, Tanshinone IIA, n = 3.
