The original version of this Article contained an error in Figure 1, where the representative higher magnification pathological image of brain sections in the “Control” group in panel B was mistakenly taken from the same original image file in the “Heat + DEX” group.
The original Figure 1 and accompanying legend appear below.
Figure 1.
DEX reduces the nerve damage and neuroinflammation caused by heatstroke. ICR mice were exposed to an ambient temperature of 41 ± 0.5 °C until Tc > 42.7 °C (heatstroke onset), and then injected intraperitoneally with 25 µg/kg DEX (Heat + DEX group) or 0.9% saline (Heat group), followed by a 12-h recovery at an ambient temperature of 23 ± 1 °C. (A) The neurological function of mice was evaluated by the modified neurological severity score (mNSS). (B) Representative pathological pictures of brain sections stained with haematoxylin–eosin (HE) at a magnification of X-200. (C–F) Cytokine expression levels in the cerebral cortex were assessed by ELISA. The data are shown as the mean ± SEM of three independent experiments. Statistical analysis: two-way ANOVA. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.001 vs. Control. #p < 0.05 vs. Heat.
The original Article has been corrected.
