NBP down-regulated the expression of cleaved caspase-3 in the perihematomal tissue after ICH. A-B: The protein expression of cleaved caspase-3 in the perihematomal tissue was detected using Western blotting. C: Cleaved caspase-3-positive cells in the cortex of perihematomal region at 72h after ICH. Representative immunohistochemical staining results were shown (magnification × 400). Positive cells were stained brown (black arrow). Data were presented as the mean ± SEM (n=3). (^*P<0.05 vs Sham-operated, ^#P<0.05 vs ICH + Saline group)
