Fig. 3. Function recovery of rats by SCDEs after SCI in vivo.

Fig. 3

A The Flow chart of animal experiments. B, F The BBB scores of Sham, SCI group, and SCI rat group treated with SCDEs (n = 5). C Representative paw step images and limbs’ supporting timing view of CatWalk gait analysis. D The H&E staining of the bladder showed a lesser thickness of the bladder in the SCI rat treated with SCDEs. Scale bar: 500 μm. E, H Analysis of motor evoked potential (MEP) was performed as an electrophysiological assessment in both groups at day 28 post-injury in both groups (n = 5). G The wall thickness of the bladder in each group, showing that the bladder function recovered faster in the SCDEs treatment group (n = 5). I Quantitative analysis of catwalk at day 28 post-injury, including regularity index, print position, and stances of the hindlimb (n = 5, RH: right hindlimb, LH: left hindlimb). Data were presented as mean ± SEM. Results were analyzed by One-way ANOVA. Significance: *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001.
