FIGURE 3.
Effects of THCQ on collagenase-induced ICH. SD rats were challenged by right striatum injection of 4 μg collagenase. Brain tissues were collected 72 h after challenge with collagenase. Typical macrographs (left: sham, 72 h after operation; right: 72 h after ICH induction) (A). Normal cerebral striatum (b, B) and striatum 72 h after collagenase injection, showing infiltration of inflammatory cells (c, C), ICH + THCQ-L (28.2 mg·kg−1) (d, D), ICH + THCQ-M (56.4 mg·kg−1) (e, E) and ICH + THCQ-H (112.7 mg·kg−1) (f, F). The histological morphology and pathology results showed that treatment with THCQ alleviated ICH-induced pathological changes.
