Fig. 8From: What is the optimal sequence of decompression for multilevel noncontinuous spinal cord compression injuries in rabbits?TUNEL immunofluorescence staining for apoptosis in the rostral spinal cord tissue of the control (a), 40-μl PRD (b), 40-μl PCD (c), 50-μl PRD (d) and 50-μl PCD (e) groups. The nuclei were stained with DAPI (blue). The control group did not exhibit apoptosis-positive cells (green). The numbers of apoptotic cells were significantly increased in the 50-μl compression group compared with the 40-μl compression group. Scale bar = 100 μmBack to article page
