Effect of DEX on behavior of rats with CIR. (A) mNSS (n=12). (B) TTC staining of brain slices from one rat/group (n=6). (C) miR-199a expression was analyzed using reverse transcription-quantitative PCR (n=6). **P<0.01 vs. Sham; #P<0.05, ##P<0.01 vs. CIR; &&P<0.01 vs. anta-NC; ^P<0.05, ^^P<0.01 vs. DEX; %%P<0.01 vs. anta-miR. CIR, cerebral ischemia-reperfusion; DEX, dexmedetomidine; anta, antagomir; miR, microRNA; NC, negative control; mNSS, modified neurological severity score.
