Effect of electroacupuncture (EA) intervention on ionized calcium-binding adapter molecule 1 (Iba-1) mRNA (A) and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) mRNA (B) of dorsal spinal cord (C2–C5) at 24 h after neck incision (mean ± SD, n = 8/group). The expression levels of Iba-1 mRNA and GFAP mRNA were significantly upregulated in the model group (vs. the control group), that of Iba-1 mRNA was obviously downregulated in the three EA groups (vs. the model group), and that of GFAP mRNA was obviously downregulated in the EA LI18 group but not in the EA PC6-LI4 and EA ST36-GB34 groups (vs. the model group). *P < 0.01, vs. the control group, #P < 0.05, vs. the model group, ^P < 0.05, vs. the EA LI18 group, $P < 0.05, vs. the EA LI14-PC6 group.
